Mrs. Wynne ravs them no peace, but told of the Ions, malertlo sweep's of the mighty river eomlmr down through the lordly hills that form the eastern bulwark of the Willamette valley, of the overhang ing 'dlffs, the wind torn trees and the fleecy network of the many falla which eera to spring from the very sky ttseu. She , told them of the beauty of the mountains when the rays of the sun fell on their white caps and of the guardian bulk of Mount Hood keeping watch over the valley. ' And when the players came to Port land, the men and women and the girls. toowho had listened to all these things from the time the last city before Port land had been left behind in the clr cult,- demanded that they be shown all these wonderful things. What could an enthusiastic Portlander do but make rood? v And scenery Is not the only thing possessed in and around Oregon's great city. Cars were needed, and the Portland dealers responded to the first call. All the machines the party needed for a run over the highway were at their call.

Hhe merry party, 28 In all, left the Ilelllg abouj-9:30 Tuesday morning and spent four great hours on the run up the liver, ably piloted by Mrs. Wynne.

Never be fore, he declares, has there been such crying need for this road as at this time. Randle, about 65 miles east of Cheha lis and Centralla, is practically isolated from the rest of the county and from the outside world by road conditions. On February 7, a county convention will be held in Chehal'.s to discuss the possibilities of constructing a highway across the county.

Snead of the Irviigton Ga rage & Auto company at Eaat Fifteenth and Broadway well in toward the lead. His new building, which has been grac ing the corner where the vacant lot used to present Itself as an eyesore to the neighborhood, la kept In the best condi tion, and his method of merchandising his accessory lines by clever display seems to be In pretty good taste. When W. H. Wiggs and Ira E. Cook bought the Leslie garage at 266 East Thirty-seventh street, they had no In tention of keeping the Wolf from the door. Mr. Wolf turned the place over to the partners after the usual prelimin aries, and now seems to have something else up his sleeve in the automobile line. F. G. Krumm and Bert Williams, for mer owners of the Montavilla service station at East Eighty-second street and. Base Line road, have sold to May & Haven, two old time Portlanders, who have been following other pursuits for the last few years. C. C. Snyder, manager of the East Side branch of the Lewis E. Obye Mo tors company's activities, has the abil ity Inclosed in his small stature to keep the several; departments running In a well oiled condition. He not only looks after the selling of new cars, but has the used car department as well, to which is added the garage and repair departments, where most of the work for the two branches is done. Doc Roller, look to your past laurels. The Lowrle garage, 607 Belmont street. Is the scene for a series of wrestling bouts this cold weather. They stage 'em between jobs, and the man who nicks a fender of one of the nearby cars is dis qualified as a professional. "Yep, we can fix you up," is the an swer always given to the customer by Chris Heick, who practices the garage trade at 991 Belmont street. His line is as full as that of any other man In the city. He has a bell that tells when a customer is calling, and some men who call to sell him merchandise declare it sounds like an alarm clock. There Is a report going the rounds' to the effect that Axel Kildahl of the Lents garage is going to put up a sign "Stage Your Accidents Here I Flxum." He may have the right dope, telling them for the convenience of the damaged car, Why not stretch a rope across the road.- Axel? - - I Mite IMf This is your chance to get a Puncture-Proof Inner Tube Free with each PUBLIC DOUBLE-TREAD TIRE or . dered.

Phone Broadway 564 iliilllllllWN Maxwell is but another name for Quality THE goodness, the efficiency, the qual ity in previous Max wells created a demand for the current Maxwell which 100,000 cars (the number now being built) cannot satisfy. This shows a rare liking for jyaxwell; and the appre ciation that every dollar de voted to its manufacture has been .wisely expended. Think what the making of 100,000 axles means, the making of 100,000 frames, 100,000 engines, . 100,000 clutches, and 100,000 trans missions. Think of the great saving that comes with the purchase of so many materials. Consider the accuracy that follows as one after another of 100,000 axles is con structed. Consider the vast use of capital it requires to turn them out 300 a day. Estimate the confidence the Maxwell executives had in the Post-War model to rest the future of the Maxwell name on a year's production like 100,000. They knew; 300,000 previ ous Maxwells had told them; the public was their judge. You can look for high engine efficiency, or merely comfort, or long mileage on gas and tires, or improve ments the war developed, or style, or value you'll find it in the Post-War Maxwell.
