TUB OUEGON SUNDAY JUUUISAU FUKTLAKD, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1922. HISTORIC MOTOR 1r ?L I IS TO BE RECALLED HERE Presence of Historic Car Piloted by Barney Oldfield to Be Shown. 0 On September 21 there will be an In formal celebration of a little known race that bad great results. Twenty years ago, on that day. Bar ney Oldfield, a young; and daring youth, drove a Ford car to victory on the race trade at Groaoe Point. Mich. The car driven in this race is now on display at the Portland salesrooms of the W. I. Hugbson company and on the twenty-first will be the center of attraction. To enable motoring fans to appre ciate the difference in . design of that day and this, old "999," as the car is known, will be placed on the center" of the floor surrounded by the new model Ford cars. The display la being planned by W. G. Stoner, manager of the local Hughson branch. 1 The old race car is unique in ap pearance. It is a single seater with one of the old style "stem-winding" eteering gears." The engine, a four cylinder five by six motor, is mounted in the rear of a huge radiator made of copper tubes. The motor has an open crank case similar to present day marine engines. ; In those days transmissions were a more or less unknown quantity so the old speed wagon has direct drive. In the history making race it made the tremendous speed of five miles in 5 minutes and 26 seconds. In those days that was speed, but when compared to some of the modern day records it ap pears to be nothing. , On of the features of the proposed show will be the new model Fords. These cars, have recently made ..their appearance in Portland and have cre ated no little interest. Two changes of great Importance are m the wind shield and the top. The top is of the "one-man" type a. distinct departure from former Ford tops. It adds greatly to the appear ance of the car as well as being more utilitarian. On the new models the windshield slants from the base to the rear. By doii so it is now possible to make a practically weather proof cowl connec tion and do away with the necessity of l'avlng an apron, to protect the igni tion colls. As yet the new changes have been made only in the touring car models. According, to Stoner. no official word has yet been received in Portland con cerning the proposed shutdown of the Highland Park Ford plant. Dealers in the city are Inclined to be skepti cal of the reality of such an event in the absence of authentic Information from Ford headquarters The latest word is that Portland will receive its quota of cars for Septem ber. This was received by W. H. Goodwin, head of the Portland branch of the Ford Motor company.

Yellow Taxis Are To Be Run in Gay Paree for Yanks ( By Intern tionI News Service) Paris, Sept. 9. Fifty "yellow cabs" from Chicago soon will exert an Amer icanizing influence on Paris taxicab service. The cabs will be brought over 'in time to operate at the beginning of the ' winter season, according to John Herts and Charles A. McCulloch of the Chicago Yellow Cab Manufactur ing company, who have organized a subsidiary" company here. They will be run on a. profit-sharing basis, simi lar to those in Chicago, but will be operated at Paris taxicab prices. Drivers of the .new cabs will be se lected according to their ability to handle American fares. Politeness will be a prerequisite. New Type of Road Tried in Yamhill Newberg, Sept. 9. Yamhill county is experimenting with a new type of road known as water bound macadam, having completed one and one half miles at the east end of market road No. 1, Newberg to Yamhill. The woak is In charge of C. F. dreen, formerly of Indiana, and a student of the New York highway commission's plan of laying " this type of pavement, which consists of large, medium and smaller crushed rock dumped simultaneously and rolled dry. A finished top coat of fine gravel is applied. . Road build ers who have seen this piece of work pronounce it the best macadam in the state of Oregon. It is expected that the road will be extended to Yamhill next year.
