Holt left Portland to visit the various
towns, driving a midget racing car
known as the Stephens special. This
car is declared to be the smallest race
car in the country, and In fact Is no
larger than the average push car which
Portland youngsters pedal around the
streets. The car has a high-powered lit
tle motor, however, and has a record
of a mile on a dirt track In 61 seconds.
While on his trip Hdit will, take every
opportunity to tune the little car up and
on the day of the races he will drive an
exhibition mile against .time in r the . ef
fort to lower the dirt track record at
Salem. 1 1
Steps were taken last week j by the
Oregen Auto- Racing association t put
the Salem track in shape j for the event
on June 3, and those in ! charge claim
that the track will be in the best shape
for auto racing that it has been for
years. A man to work the track has
been employed and will be on hand con
tinually from now until the event,
smoothing the track and watering it
down. Special efforts will be made to
prevent dust, and it has been announced
that not only will the track be put in
good shape before the races, but be
tween every event it will be watered
down. Holding the dust down will make
the races-much more pleasant to watch,
it is declared, and will also make the
track safer for the drivers.

; Every one, of the famous Haynes 75
blue! ribbon j speedsters that leaves the
factories of the Haynes Automobile com
pany at Kokomo, Indiana, has attached
to the steering wheel an exact duplicate
of the blue ribbon that was awarded the
Haypes 75 speedster as a result of it
remarkable' performance test on the Isj
diana polls motor speedway when Howf
dy" j Wilcox,: the internationally-known
racei driver, drove the 7a speedster over
the (course at an average speed of 7?
miles an hour. A. C. Stevens, local dis
tributor announces. j
i "The handsome blue ribbon, which
carries the picture of Mr. Wilcox and
his Statement in gold lettering, is the
buyer's proof that the speedster he pur
chases is exactly the same, in regard to
specifications, as the 75 speedster that
was I piloted by Wilcox in the official
test,' Stevens said.
' "The blue ribbon was awarded the
Haynes 75 speedester for speed, stamina,
reliability, endurance, power and get
away, i
i'Is my opinion, the Haynes-built 75
motor is a remarkable stock motor. It
has ithe necessary speed, stamina and
get-f.way to meet the requirements of
the fnost exacting motorist, and at top
most speed showed a decided lack of
motor vibration. The Haynes 75 speed
ster j is the sturdiest and fastest stock
car t have ever driven to date." i

Eatonville, Wash., May 20. The 2200
feet : of paving on the mountain road
west of Eatonville, has been completed,
filling in the gap between the Torger
Peterson place and La Grande. This
leaves the Ohop hill and valley.; about a
mile, the only unpaved portion from
Tacoma to La Grande. i
County Commissioner Easterday has
said that he has included funds in his
budget for next year to improve the'
road leading from Eatonvillei to the-
north, to enable the school bus to trans
port the Clay City school pupils to
Eatonville with iless danger 'and more
comfort. The desire is to have pits road
improved all the way to the northern
line of this school district Just as soon
as possible. The Clay City stretch Is
the first to be asked for. j
