TAKE PICK AND
HP
TO WILSON RIVER
"Fishing Sportsmen Have Series
of Troubles in Motoring to
Their Favorite Rendezvous.
'If your fishing companions Insist
on making an automobile tour over
Into tho Wilson river country, be
cure to cart aJong a pick and shovel,
an axe. and at least 10 gallons of
Caroline. 1 '
Even so, you may net be able to get
any fish unless you have much better
luck that tr. F.l R. Kenyon and K. 8.
Robinson of St. Helens, who offer the
above advice' following an eventful trip
Into the Wilson river $dlstrict last week
end In a W20 Hupmobile. r
En route to their favorite fishing
rendezvous the St. Helens sportsmen
drove through Portland, Forest Grove,
Galea City and West Timber. In going
over the mountains toward Wilson river
their Hup was obliged to twist itself
around no less Uhan II hairpin curves
on a nine mile stretch of road that in
volved some low gear pulling on ac
count of the heavy grade and the ex
tremely rough surface.
In fact, the turns were so short In
some places that both rear fenders on
the Hup were rather badly Jammed.
Some of the ruts were 18 inches deep
by actual measurement and despite the
fact that there were no tire chains
aboard, the car managed somehow or
ether to force its way through several
Inches of absolute mud.
As If to furnish a climax to the diffi
culties of the Saturday ride rain came
down In liberal quantities before the
return march on Sunday and as a conse
quence it waa necessary to hitch a couple
of horses to the car in order to pull it
through the deep, sticky mud on the
summit of the mountains, where the wet,
sticky clay was 10 inches thick in places.
In making the descent over the nine
miles of steep grade the fisherman
motorists were obliged to hook' two trees
eight inches wide and 20 feet long on
the rear of the Hup and put one passen
ger on each of the tree.

This Republic track turned Its pneumatic tire wheels to good advantage during the recent rail tleup, and
helped keep The Dalles country supplied with gasoline. It made several trips to and from the upland
' city, backing considerable -mud and weather during the performance. The track Is handled here by the

WORK IS BEING RUSHED
i ON ASTORIA HIGHWAY
(Caettanad From Face On. This Beeoea)
finds the; paving again, although the
road by Columbia City cannot be said
to be very rough going, and one really
feels slightly put out at noi being able
to show dexterity of band when the
paving is once more felt beneath the
wheels of the car. ' .
From Deer Island past Goble and on
to Rainier the paving provides excellent
going, stopping somewhat abruptly at
the end of the long fill through the lat
ter town. Here the machine is turned
up the hill and a bridge of rather
rickety character Is traversed on a
stretch of road of questionable smooth
ness.! Bainier itself cannot boast 'much
paving, and it is not until the sub
urbs : on the far side of, the town are
reached that hard surface once more' be
gins.!. CAW "TAKE IIFE EAST
From here on mile after mile the car
may sing whatever song it pleases, the
driver can take life easy, and the rear
seat denizens may set their minds at rest
about hard bumps. The hills, covered
in places with, scarred) and charred
stumps, flash by. the road dips and
turns, loops and twists, climbs . and - de
scends, now along the shoulder of a hill
and around a -steep bend, now down a
grade along the banks of some fishing
stream .where the traveler may discern,
far below him, the form of a fisherman,
partially Immersed In water and wholly
immersed in thought regarding the fish
in. the stream and the contents of his
creel. One chap scarcely made a motion
daring the . period of five minutes the
scout party observed him. Intent, no
doubt, upon having the fish at the end
of his line at any cost. -
The river tumbles ' companlonably
alongside for some miles, and at one
place where a bridge spans the water
on below, a tiny but peppy falls invites
the tourist to haul forth his camera and
"shoot" a couple of films. And so 'on
down the hills rolls the car and then
in a blaze of glory the road hurls its
torrent of travel into the rich lands of
Tye valley; and Clatskanie is seen In
the distance. Near Clatskanie the road
becomes : rough, the paving ends and
signs of construction are here and there.
Two gangs of men are said to be at
work at this point, laying the "hot
stuff or making grade in preparation
for it. - :
BOUGH nr PLACES
From Clatskanie on to the Astoria
highway the road is rough In places,
but at all points permits easy and fairly
fast travel. . Four gangs of men are
busy on this stretch getting ready for
paving, and In some places laying the
hard surface itself. It Is said by con
tractors that .' the Clatskanie-Astoria
stretch will be changed - from a semi-
country road to an excellent driveway.
A steady pace of from 15 to 20 miles an
hour may be maintained right through
the places where construction' is going
on and at other points on the last bits
ef unpaved highway. Stages are making
the trip dally and are encountering no
difficulty in maintaining a rapid sched
ule at all points. A short distance this
Side of Astoria hard surface Is once
more in evidence, and the few miles t
town are soon covered.
OVER-SPEEDING
DANGEROUS
TO
LIFE OE TRUCK
When, the1 man on the road sees a
bg truck or small truck approach
ing; hint at a rapid rate of speed, he
is immediately disposed to stop and
watch, the commercial carrier race
by, .It is a s pretty sight to behold
the heavily, weighted machine con
ducting -an Imaginary race against
time,, and . the observer usually ac
cords the driver - a moment's, admi
ration for his skill at the wheel.
As a matter of fact, if the observer
were the owner of the truck, the head,
ay, of a big transportation company,
he would not be so' well pleased as the
man who does not have to pay the
truck's operating expenses. Overs Deed
ing is one of the most dangerous fac
tors governing the1 life ef a truck. -:
Overspeeding Is not only dangerous to
others, but like overloading, is a factor
which greatly lessens the normal lift of
your truck. Most trucks are equipped
with governors to prevent 'excessive driv
ing speeds. It is just as essential to
keep down the speed in coasting.
A. heavy truck in motion represents a
tremendous amount of energy whose de
structiveneu increases at a much greater
ratio than the Increase in speed. It
therefore requires much more effort to
control and it can do untold damage
should it get beyond the driver's control.
Xhccessive speed causes exoesslve wear.
The driving shafts are designed to run
at certain speeds below their critical or
bending speeds. Whipping ef drive shafts
does not tend to increase gradually but
is almost Instantaneous in Its action once
Parking at Seaside
Seaside will have an adequate park
ing ground for automobiles, if the
plans of the Breakwater .? association
go . through. A committee Is now in
vestigating the matter and endeavoring
to secure a suitable location which can
be purchased. m
Built like surgeons' gloves
Built layer on layer
of the finest pure sheet rubber to make
them utterly leak-proof. Then tested
or hours under pressure,
i :
s Mew idea in
It has taken 24 years of rubber tndx
to build MilVer Inner Tubes.
During that time Miller has been
famous for super-grade rubber good.
They are still the largest producers
of such things s surgeons' rubber
' gloves. And many Miller productions
are known as surgeon grade.
Miller Inner Tubes are surgeon
glove quality. But they are, in addi
tion, built layer on layer, up to the
necessary ply. Thus no tiny flaw in
the fine sheet rubber can possibly go
through. '
'Then every tube is tested. It is kept
filled for hours under heavy air pres
sure to prove it utterly air-tight.
Don't guess on tubes
Many men watch tire mileage but do
not watch their tubes. And tube mak
ers know this.
Be as careful on your tubes, A tube
that leaks is a constant annoyance.
And a tube that doesn't last ' well is
a waste.
Come see the tube that Miller has
developed red or gray.
Tire mileage almostt doubled
Miller experts, m the past few years,
have" almost doubled their tire mileage.
Miller Tires are now the sensation.
Their records are everywhere discussed.
In million-mile tests, made by many
large users, they have proved their
supremacy over every rival tire. jAnd
a very great supremacy. j
They are used exclusively today in
some of the hardest tire services known
in America.
They have won hundreds of thou
sands of users by their proof of extra
mileage. The demand has increased
ten-fold in the past few years. Last
year alone it increased $11,000,000.
$1,000 a day for tests
The Miller factory .spends $1,000
daily just to watch and test materials
and tires. j
They spend $300 daily m testing the
cords and the fabrics. I
They wear out 1,000 tires yearly in
factory tests, to watch ; the Miller
mileage. . :; Vrf''
They have perfected a tread which,
by countless tests, excels the best of
others by 25 per cent. f
In their factory tests under rear
wheel conditions the -average for
Miller Cords last year was 15,000 miles.
See what they save
You" owe such tires a test. Thousands
of owners report an increased mileage
of .from 50 per cent to 75 per cent. ,
Compare a Miller with the tire you use
and see what you get. It may change
all your conceptions of good tires.
