CiTY COUNCIL WILL
DIAGNOSE AILMENTS
OF
'Complaints Made That'Dr. Clar
ence True Wilson's Stable
Is a Public Nuisance.
The city council Wednesday referred to
the city attorney the problem of dealing
with an old barn belonging to Dr. Clar
ence True Wilson at East Oak and Thir
teenth streets.
Neighbors have protested that the
barn is a nuisance and should be abat
ed. A permit has been given to repair
it by the department of public works.
This permit has been held up for the
time being.
Commissioner Bafbur said that in the
opinion of the department the coancil
had no legal right to condemn the build
ing as examination showed tnat it had
not reached the requisite stage of de
terioration. As to its being a public nuisance, he
said that was a matted which could not
be decided until after a showing had
been made and it was so proved.
The city attorney was requested to
give an opinion as to the authority-of
the council to take drastic action and
to report Friday.
A communication from Dr. Wilson
said that he did not Intend to use the
building as a stable for horses and had
not so used It for several years. He re
sented the interference of the city with
his plans to repair.
John Wood, who owns adjoining prop
erty ,x did not think the building could be
repaired for $100 and he thought Dr.
Wilson "was trying to put something
over on the city and the; neighborhood."
Senate Democrats
Drop Rail Problem
" Washington, Jan. 16. (U. P.) Demo
cratic senate leaders have decided the
railroad problem must go over to the
Republican congress. They have given
up hope cf framii'. and passing bills,
disposing ot the railroads before March
4. Republicans, however, will make an
effort to prevent President Wilson turn
ing the toads back before the 21 month
period is up. Senator Cummins will in
troduce a resolution to that effect as
soon as the present hearings are over,
he said Wednesday.
Postal Clerk Dismissed
Eugene, Jan. 16. A. M. Dickey, clerk
fn the Eugene postoffice, has been re
moved by First Assistant Postmaster
General Koons, the notice of removal
being received Tuesday by Postmaster
Campbell. While the notice did not
state the cause of removal, it is be
lieved that pro-German sympathies led
Dickey to" use words that were con
sidered disloyal to the government.
Dickey was transferred from the canal
zone to Eugene more than a year ago.

Cojme Ride in the Essex
Its First Showing A Light Weight QpahtytCar
We Want Your Opinion of It
All tnotordom has waited a year for the Essex.
Dealers have ventured all sorts of descriptions for it.
Btrt today it is having its premier showing in hundreds of
cities and towns throughout America. I
For months the trade papers have given first prominence
to whatever news they could get of its details.
Their interest was awakened because it combines the
advantages of the light low pricedcar, and its economy,
with the performance, sturdiness and beauty of the large
and costly car. One leading writer proclaimed the Essex
a new development in motor car transportation.
Don't you want to be among the first in this locality
to see the car that has awakened this interest? We wish
you would come and ride in it for
You Are To Do
Its Advertising
We have long wanted to reveal the details of the Essex.
But the manufacturers said they wanted the car to speak
for itself. They said no description that could be applied
to it would create as favorable an impression as would
result from a ride in the car.
Even now we hesitate to praise the Essex since we can
say nothing that has not already been claimed in praise for
some other car.
So the endorsement it is to receive is such as yon and
other thousands of motorists volunteer to give. All we ask
is that you come see and ride in it.
We Were Surprised
Let Us Surprise You
When we went to the factory to see the
Essex we wanted to know in advance some
thing of its detail. But we were told that
was for us to discover as we inspected and
rode in the car.

Our first experience was a ride over a road so rough that
you would willingly go. miles out of the way tor avoid if -you
were in the average Hght car,
We took it at high speed, but the effect in both the front

expect in riding over a smooth pavement. f
Then we drove into soft sand where the wheels sunk la
below the felloes, going through as though it were thin mud.
Every test that reveals . performance was shown us.
There were no squeaks. The motor did not labor. The cari
