'Any person who is fearful the
United States will not have enough
food this winter has only to motor
tlyough the Central West and they
will be immediately convinced of the
vastness of the nation's granary,"
said I. M. Walker, president of
Behnke-Walker Business college,
who recently came overland to Port-t
land, from Chicago. Walker drove
a Chalmers. 1
Walker, who was accompanied by Mrs.
Walker, their son and a party of friends,
left Chicago and took the Dixie trail to
Indianapolis. . In Indiana they found
more' hardsurface than in - any : other
stats traversed on their trip. From
Indianapolis they took the. Pike's Peak
ocean-to-ocean trail to Springfield, I1L,
and during the run had an excellent
opportunity to observe the state of the
crops , in Illinois,' ; where the truck and
fruit crops are the best in. years. From
Springfield they went west to Kansas
City and Topeka, thence southwest to
Wichita over the Hockenberry trail. The
party found that Missouri's wheat crop
was averaging 20 bushels 'to the acre,
and ' was about 75 per cent of normal.
This was the poorest showing they found
in any state. Business men' at all points
were extremely cheerful over the outlook,,
and most places in Kansas where stops
were made ; gave the evidence of a
bumper showing from the fields this
year. ' " ''--(
ENCOUNTERS CLOTJDBTBST
From Wichita, Kansas, Walker turned
his " machine south through Oklahoma
and then west to Amartllo, Texas, thence
going westward through Santa. Rosa to
Albupuerpue. - The roads through this
paTt of the country ran through vast
grain 'fields, mile on mile of the smooth
dirt roads being- flanked by fields of wav
ing wheat heads. The party was caught
in i a cloudburst in western New Mexico,
and it was only with the aid of heavy
rope around the wheels of the car that
they were able to slay on the road or
make any progress. The streets of the
villages they passed through were deep
In; water and Walker himself was mud
from head to foot. That night, according
to his statement, was the first time
Walker took a bath with all his clothes
on a necessary performance In order
to remove the mud. i
From McCarthy the party went over
the Continental divide through the pet
rified forest, where the party reports the
most gorgeous riots of color in stone they
have ever seen, and then north to tne
Grand Canyon. Here they found park
ing' and camping places and spent some
time 'Viewing the canyon. Always a
marvel to the visitor. Walker said it was
even more so to him, inasmuch as he
had looked forward to the sight for the
duration of the whole trip. The sight
of the vast gorge was the realisation of
a! dream of' years. From the' canyon
they came south to Williams, and then
west to Needles. In the vicinity of the
Needles they . inspected the new gold
mines recently opened there.' Twenty or
thirty mines are in active operation.
That- part of the country is enjoying a
boom such as it never: dreamed ,was in
store for it. - ' ' . , ..
CAMP OIT DESERT
From Needles the route across Mojave
desert was attempted, the party camping
on the-desert. The road was lair, ana
got better as they neared San Barnar-dina-and
Pasadena. From. Bos Angeles
they went north through the San Jose
valley tq Oakland, and -skirting San
Francisco, went through Stockton and
north over the 'road that avoids Sacra
mento. This route has more paving than
the route through the capitol city . and
affords far easier going than the usual
route. From Chlco they came north over
the Pacific highway through Ashland to
Portland. "
. 'Walker reports a splendid trip, feels
that the fears for a crop - shortage are
based upon idle rumor, and Is convinced
that Oregon Is taking the lead in road
building. He believes that this state is
nushlnsr the hard surface idea far more
strongly than other states, and that-
with the exception or Indiana, we are
making, much better progress. , !

Visitors Nicely
Auto tourists visiting Spokane should
be granted leniency by traffic officers
of the city when they infringe on the
city's traffic code, according to mem
bers of , the executive committee of the
publicity bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce. At a meeting of the com
"mittee July 51 Thomas Keene, a metn
bet recommended that the city officials
be asked to institute a general policy
of leniency toward visiting traffic 'of 4
fenders and a committee will probably
submit the matter to the city commis
sioners. Mr. Keene cited a case in
which a California tourist was arrested
for Improper parking.' Mr. Keene stated
that the man planned to remain in the
city several days but with the occur-j
renee caused him to leave and to advise
his friends not to visit -the "Jay town."

Ford ;Is Increasing

r.i: , -.j:;K ; ...
Ford Motor company apparently looks
for no falling off in - the demand, for
cars, for beginning with August 1 that
company raised its daily output to 4000
cars. The company, has notified steel
mills that due to this increased schedule
more steel is required. The -output for
the past few months has been1 3500' per
day, this figure .being an Increase in it
self over last year, when 3000 cars came
off the ' chains. Authorities say this
move on the part of the Ford company
can be looked upon as a criterion of the
health of the industry, inasmuch as Ford
has '.produced since 1916 60 per-cent of
the cars turned out each year lnj the
United States. i . . : ,

When an Overland party; started out
from Wiscasset, Maine, ; for the shores
of the Pacific there were but five I in
the party, Mr. and Mrs. W. S Grotes,
and Mr. and Mrs. ; John Hyde, and the
bulldog. At Buffalo the dog presented
the party with six additional members,
four of the new tourists being, still with
the " folks and going strong when . the
Overland arrived in Portland. :s j :
The party came along the Lake Shore
route from Buffalo to r Chicago, after
crossing New Tork state from New Jer
sey. They found most of the roads in
the East in splendid shape rand expert -enced
little trouble finding their way
to Chicago. It was west; of Chicago
that - they started to i have fun with
roads, and' from that point' to Portland
discovered highway of all sorts and con
ditions of smoothness, admitting, how
ever,., that in the main the going was
good. : : i..... ; j : .--i '.-M I
. The Tellows tone trail was the route
followed from the Windy City.' the tour
ists' favorite track for the business of

July 12 and have been staying with a
steady pace In spanning the continent.
West and south of Spokane was where
they, found their Worst roads since leav
ing Chicago, according to Groveai There
were two stretches, one of them some
12 miles long, where sand made them
thankful an Overland was provided with
a low gear, and another where construc
tion caused considerable worry. They
came through Goldendale to White Sal
mon, i where the Overland was puti on
the ferry for Hood EJver.j 4 The party
had few 'original things to say about
The Highway." i; '
h . ,: ..: ; - j f -" ;
William Peet, formerly a druggist in
Battle . Creek, Mich., rolled his Olds
mobile Into the city late last week and
declared the road from the Middle West
Is paved with adventure and fenced with
amusement. ' ' t j v!
The party, consisting of Mr. and Mrs.
Peet, ' departed from ' Battle j Creek early
last month and have been paying a great
deal of attention to streams ' with fish
in them. On the way to ;Yellowstone,
Mr. Peet took it into his head to descend
a cliff of considerable perpendicularity
and Mrs. Peet perforce ; went along to
take care of him. They made their way
some thousands of feet, it seemed, down
the rocks and finally found a stream in
the vicinity ? of the Shoshone .canyon
where all the - Ike Waltoni had to do
was throw his line overboard and j the
trout would climb up into the creel. The
path up the cliff, when the fishing Was
over, was not so easy as) the way down,
said Mrs. Peet, who was hoisted .over
the last few precipitous feet ,by means
of a rope thrown by her misbapd.
In Yellowstone Parl jthe Oldsmobile
party camped a short distance from the
rest of the tourists. V. The bears are quite
curious in the park, and pwhen they saw
this couple shunning the society of their
own kind, the bruin sect decided to make
their acquaintance, Therresult of their
visit was a damaged refrigerator lunch
box. The Bruin family! departed with
everything edible and - some pounds of
sweet stuff. The mosquitoes were al
most as bad as the bear, but more
noisy. " T ; -
i "And don't forget the boots, said Mrs.
Peet, during the recital of vtheir ad
ventures. ..-..-'v-.. ' i :..
i And it developed that as the Pied
Piper of Hamlin had his! pipe, so Henry
Peet had bis hip boots, and four or five
cars loaded with people followed the
Oldsmobile and : the ; boots some
1000 miles, across North Dakota and
other states . where early rains had
played! havoc with the j roads. Sudden
deluges from the coffers of J. Pluvlus
turned the highways into sloughs of des
pond. The gumbo which, next to the
crops, makes the Dakotas famous,-' is
more clinging than a close friend, and
27 cars were discovered stuck' in one
place, their wheels in various depths of
the stuff and their owners in varied de
grees of temper, Mrs. Peet declared that
both men and womed Waded about in
the water and mud, holding umbrellas
to protect their dripping persons, and
slipping and sliding here and there in
attempts, qufte futile,' te extricate their
cars. ' "Considerable swearing was heard
by all." v,r ; ! ij ,
i Peet waded about inf the road pools
with his high - boots, testing - each mud
place before putting his car In danger
of becoming stuck. Four other machines
followed closely in his; wake in these
aquarlous investigations and profited by
his efforts and the boots. The Feets
say the roads are fairj though bad : in
places, and they found gas all along the
way as xar as Washington state.
I A dust-covered Ovelahd Four, bearing
a' Minnesota license, breezed into the city
last ween, ana Mr. ana Mrs. M. Wat
son, with their son, say they - want ; to
locate in Oregon. They have been
spending much of their time since their
arrival looking for a good location, and
on Wednesday departed for!Newberg to
give the valley the oncei-over. , They left
Brownsville, Mian," early in , the sum
mer, and have had 31- days of actual
travel.: Yellowstone park and other
points of interest furnish interesting
dus or oata in tneir log book, and no
shortage of gasoline prior to their visit
to Seattle marred the Journey. Kastern
Washington had gas. they say. and south

' i I HE utflity of the motor car is no longer confined to the ma
IJL culine side of the famihr. The woman of today, in her own
important sphere of social, business and charitable duties, is also
turning to the motor car as a means toward the more efficient
conduct of her afiairs. ' f .
The trend of feniinme thought in this direction -finds definite
expression in the increasingly large number of Paige Light Sixes
sold to women. . y - .
There can be no doubt that the smart fivepassenger Paige Glen'
brook admirably meets the requirements of the feminine motorist.
It is a car of mechanical excellence, a car of luxurious comfort and,
quite as important, a car noted for its ease of control. 1
Of course, you can better judge this Paige model when you have
seen it and enjoyed a trial ride. ' All we ask is the privilege of i
making a single demonstration.
