OF SPORT
CROWD ON DESCHUTES FISH FOR
REDSIDES WITH VARYING
RESULTS.
The lure of the ramotis Deschutes
river "redslde" trout, which has caus
ed tho disciples of Ike Walton to trav
el hundreds of miles in order lo whip
that turbulent stream, last Saturday
got under the "hides" of Harry Wal-1
tlior and a Chronicle representative,
with the result that they ferreted last I
year's fishing poles out of hiding
places In the garret, dug up the fam
ily radish patch In search of worms,
left the shovel lay where it was drop
ped, piled in the big jellow Chandler
and left the city behind.
Shearar's bridge was the destina
tion, where it was planned to spend
the night. Tho Chandler, with Walther
at the wheel, pulled out of The Dalles
at exactly 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon. ,
"Tho road is in pretty good shape
all the way out," Walther explained,
as the the car pulled up the rather
stoop grade Immediately after leav
ing tho pavement east of the city.
'Ijater in tho year, when they start
heavy hauling, it will get cut full of
chuck holes."
Somo fino looking wheat around
here," the reporter remarked, by war
of making conversation, "Yes, and
somo good orchard land, too. By the
way, what are all these houses we
are coming to?"
"This, Oh, this is Dufur, haven't you
evor been here 'before?" Walther re
sponded in surprise.
Exactly 30 minutes had boon con
sumed in making the trip from Tho
Dalles to Dufur. Harry modestly ex
plained that ho "could do bettor" if
ho had minded to "step on 'or," add
ing that tho record time for tho run
wan 25 minutes, made by a certain
well-known local physician.
To epitomize the story, the trip to
Tygh Valley, tho first stop, was made
in a fow mlnutos over nn hour and a
half, with slow going on tho rough
Tygh grade. Another half hour and tho
DoBchutes river, known the nation
over for its trout and its sharp-edged
rocks, have into view.
At tho Shearar hotel, the usual par-1
ly of ambitious fishermen were con
gregated, eager for tho dawn of Sun
day in order that thoy might s.tart
In "hookin' 'em." V. H. French, all
togged out in sportsman's clothes,
eagerly explained the inirlts of va
rious types of spinners, of which lie
had a complete collodion, while Mrs.
Pronch, Mrs. Clydo Soltz and a num
ber of Portland anglers battled 'n u
torriflc gamo of "500." In an exclusive
mood, 10. II. French perused a Mont
gomery & Ward catalogue, paying par
ticular attention to tho fishing tackle
supplement.

with a full quota of Mrs. Tavlor's
home-cooked ham and eggs under
their belts, the various anglers slung
their baskets over their shoulders and
headed for the river. Explaining that
he "didn't like to walk," V. H. French
secured priority rights upon a choice
hole, lit his pipe and prepared to
camp for the day. Other fishermen
scattered, some going up the river and
somo down the river, some on the
right bank and soma on the left bank.
(The water was still high and roily
and for some reason the fish along
the right bank of the river refused to
play with the spinners offered. Fish
ermen on the left bank were pulling
them out with provoking regularity,
however.
-N'oar where Wbite river empties
into 1" Deschutes, Walther espied a
dejected looking individual, standing
waist deep in the water, and discern-
solately whipping an eddy on the off
chance of getting a strike. It was Dr.
Thompson Coberth. He explained that
he had been fishing all morning and
hadn't caught a thing. Just as he
completed this remark, however, his
pole gave a nervous twitch and a
shining trout flopped out of the water.
Dr. Coborth's face wreathed in a
smilo. Ho would not have to go home
empty handed.
iDuring the entire morning Walther
succeeded In landing four rainbow
trout, not one of which was under 15
Inches in length. The largest catch
made that day was 14 trout of the
same size, all caught along the eat
bank of the river by a Portland angler.
Back at the Shearar hotel that even
ing, Mrs. Taylor explained that they
didn't blto very good today for somo
reason or other. Generally the boys
all come back with a basket full." The
general concensus of opinion was that
tho river was still too high and that
another two weeks would be neces
sary before It Is in shape for the
best fishing.
With the exception of the five miles
down Tygh grade, tho entire distance
between The Dalles and the Deschutes
river Is In excellent condition. The
Tygh grade, however. Is both steep
and rough and necessitates slow,
careful driving. From Dufur to the
toi of the grade, tho road Is as good
as pavement.
Unfortunately, Walther had promis
ed nbout 12 persons in The Dalles
fish, when ho returned from his trip
Becauso of this, he drovo very quietly,
ondoavorlng most of the way to figure
out how many times four trout woulld
go into 12, without arriving at any
satisfactory conclusion. Finally his
brow cleared of Its puzzled frown, "I

And in this manner the problem was
settled and tho trip was ended.

This Year A Greater
Hudson
No Hudson owner forgets this fact in his ap
preciation ot! Super-Six economy.
Hudson's notable speed, its 72(o added pow
er, and SQ("c greater efficiency means no extra
cost in its operation.
Its speed and power do not come from great
motor size and high fuel consumption. The
exclusive Super-Six principle gets 7(5 H. P.,
from a light, conventional motor that formerly
developed -12 H. P. at maximum.
With all the other desirable things men find
in Hudson, this accounts also for the additional
triumph of true economy.
u
Appropriate Name Chosen. For
New Automobile Camp Grounds
"THE DALLES ILLAHEE" WILL ADVERTISE RESTING PLACE
MOTOR TOURISTS; HISTORICAL TITLE SUGGE8TED BY
DAUGHTER8 OF REVOLUTION.
"The Dalles Illahee."
The above words in big letters, will
adorn the entrance to the new cly
auto park, when completed. For that
is the name which has been chosen
for the park by the auto park site com
mittee of The Dalles-Wasco County
Chamber of Commerce, after much
deliberation.
The name is not entirely original
with the park site committee, the
word "Illahee," having been submit
ted by Quenett chapter of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution., Tho
D. A. R. wished the name of the park
to be "Quenett Illahee," however, be
causo of the historical significance of
the word Quenett, as applied by the
Wasco Indians to what is now known
as Mill creek, which runs through
the new auto park. The word Quenett
was first heard by white men when
Lewis and Clark camped on that
creek upon their trip down .the Co
lumbia river.
The auto park committee approved
of the- word Illahee, but desired some
thing with more advertising value to
tho town than Quenett, committee
members decided. Since the new auto
park is going to be one of the finest
in the northwest, it will naturally re-,
ceive a considerable amount of ad
vertising. Hence, the words The
Dalles should enter into the name of
tho park, In order that the city itself

telling each other of the unusual ac
commodations found here, it was con
tended. So as a result of "much delibera
tion," as H. R. Fancher, chairman of
the committee, expressed it, The
Dalles Illahee came to be adopted as
tho official name of the new park.
Illahee, by the way, Is a very ap
propriate word for use in describing
the park. According to Mrs. Lulu D.
Crandall, recognized authority '.nnu
Indian lore, the word when literally
translated means "resting place.1- The
word is derived from the Chinook
jargon, which in turn was devlsol by
tho first white traders to come irto
the northwest for use in talking with
the Indians of the many different
tribes, each tribe speaking a different
dialect, Mrs. Crandall explained. For
example, all of the many Indian bury
ing grounds in this neighborhood are
known as Memaloose Illahee, or "rest
ing place of the dead."
The auto park isn't going to be a
resting place for the dead, however,
the park committee emphatically de
clares. Persons who rest here are go
ing to be "live ones," who appreciate
the natural beauties and conveniences
of the park and who will be as good

TIRE PRICES NEAR
EXTREME LOW LEVEL
COMPARATIVE VALUES SHOW
GREAT STRIDES OVER THOSE
OF 1915.
By William H. Rankin
A careful analysis of tire prices in
dicates that they are actually low.
On May 2, the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
company announced a 20 .percent rc-
duction, which established what Is un-
doubtedly a new level for the season
of 1921. This reduction brings Good-
rlch prlce8 down to a polnt 15 percent
below tne 19M level. According ,0
rjradstreefs Index, general commod-
ltJ. prlces nave ri8en 23 percent during
the same period. J
It is rather startling to find that in
1910 tire prices were 115 percent
higher than today. The lowest point
in the history of tiro prices was in
1915, and was brought about by the
Goodrich company's fair list campaign
when a drastic reduction was made
for tho purpose of eliminating the
price inflation which had crept into agencies of the old Motor Service com
the industry. This extreme low point pany have been taken over by the new

ever, is incomplete unless compara
tive values arc considered. The ques
tion is: How many miles do I get. from
my tires today? And how does this
compare with what I received in 1915?
Beginning with 1915 and the war stan
dardization movement, which extend
ed over a period of several years, tre
mendous strides have been made in
quality and In the mileage service of,
tires.
xne extent to wnich this is trueJJJat
not realized by the motoring public.
Yet this increase in service is actually
measurable. In the first place, con
sider the actual increase in size. For
m . ..... Vt--
instance, cord tires made by the
leading companies are uniformly 10
percent over the rated size. Specializa
tion in the production and prepara
tion of raw materials has been of in
calculable benefit to tire quality. Re
markable progress has been made in
the art of compounding rubber to pro
duce the maximum degree of wear.
The salient factors have been sup
plemented by improved methods of
manufacture which have resulted In a
uniformity of quality and service ab
solutely unknown a few years ago.
A tangible expression of the great
er mileage service now being built
into tires is reflected by the higher
basis of adjustment generally used
by the leading companies. Thus, if a
tire proves defective today It is ad
justed, under the Goodrich plan, on
'the basis of 6,000 miles if it is of fa
bric, and 8,000 if it is of cord con
struction. Contrast this with the ad
justment basis in use a few years
ago, i. e., 3,500 miles, and it is easy
to comprehend the great progress
made in tire manufacture.
It is not a far-fetched conclusion to
say that tires today give from 50 to
100 percent greater mileage than they I Many residents of The Dalles har

"SPLENDID ARTERY OF DALLES
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY IS
PROVIDED.
With the completion of the Dufur
market road, taxpayers of Wasco
county have the first example of what
the market roads tax means to the
county In the way of good roads.
The road, which was built by the
United Contracting company under
the direction of the county engineer,
is- as fine a piece of macadam road
as there is in the county. Extending
to the city limits of Dufur, the road
runs for five miles up Fifteen Mile
creek, tapping one of the richest agricultural-
valleys in Wasco county.
The road is wide, well crowned for
drainage and is as smooth as pave
ment. .
Farmers residing in the Dufur val
ley in years past were obliged to haul
their farm products over a rough
road, with an uneven grade and nar
row in places. The new market road
will permit easy travel in all sea
sons of the year.
Another feature of the value of
this market road, is that it is an ar
tery of The Dalles-California high

ed, residents of the Dufur valley
will have virtually a oared road from
their doors to The Dalles.
