No event to be held in the whole Pacific northwest this year is of more im portance in a practical and educa tional way than the coming big Port- land automobile, truck and tractor shov, which will open in the new Portland city auditorium on Febru ary 7. and continue to February 13, inclusive. This is one of the few show events to wiy h the railroads have granted reduced rates this year. Special round trip low fares will be in effect to show visitors from Oregon and northwest points during the week of the automobile show., The particular importance of thfa automobile, track and tractor show lies in its emphasis of improvements that have been made in the efficiency of .the .automobile. Beautiful body lines and refinements adding to the comfort of motoring will have their place, to be sure, but they will be relatively inithe background at this year's show as compared to Improve ments tending . to Increase the all around value of the automobile. Evf' since the United States en tered the war, automobile engineers have been' concentrating their ef forts "on adding to the already great efficiency of1 their cars. The result has been many betterments, such for example as-Improvements in motors whereby they .utilize low grade gaso line and make more imlleage to the gallon, thus adding to the war re sources of the 'country. t .

' , ' ! : 'It MOTORTRUCKS SUGGESTED TO AID COMMERCE Experts Recommend Use As Means to Help Relieve Rail Congestion SOME ARE NOjlY JN USE In Face of Severe Weather, Trucks Insure Speedy De- - livery of Goods , . pIHLiADEL.PIIIA. Jan. 22. -Use of commercial motor trucks for In tercity and Interstate transportation of freight Is regarded by motor ex perts here as a means of helping to relieve the war freight congestion and of thus helping to win the war. So rapidly is this system of freight deliverey, even , on relatively long ha-us, being developed that automo bile manufacturers are taking steps to bring about the construction of heavier types of roadbed and It has been proposed that the government be asked to assume ' control of the main arteries . of motor transporta tion during the war. ' ' ' ? The . commercial motor .. truck 13 developing faster than any other form' of transportation according' to figures made public here by dealers, these chow that in this district alone, where many truck line be tween Philadelphia, New York Bal timore, Washington and other point are now in 'operation, there was a one hundred per cent increase fn 1917 over the preceding year in the use of these carriers. y Heretofore motor trucks carrying many lines of freight have been op erating between the larger cities InJ iUT ll"i i-.tw tii- sey and Delaware and Maryland but the war freight congestion has forei ed small communities to take-up' tbo idea on a large scale. . According to official reports tram most .of the counties in these fire states, many, of- the largest firms and corporations in these states now are using the motor truck 'for Inter city and. Interstate freight ;dellTery. The' cost, these reports poat out. is about-the same asit is for railway freleht but, the i saving In time ha been so great that big business s- tabllshmrnts were rapidly converted to the use of the fiasollne-propelle'l carrier. t, , - . . In the use of the motor truck at the present time, according to of f I dais following its development, speedy delivery is the main consid eration. The Lincoln , highway- and other-roads' adapted to the work atr tract a large proportion of the cars but other routes are being used and high efficiency maintained ven in the face of 'severe breather conditions which would tie up rail freight. I Two trains of United tSates army trucks, wftb supplies, recently com pleted successful thbs through this state. One train composed "; of 22 trucks utilized the Lincoln highway through Pennsylvania for almost the entire distance' with matrlals from Detroit.' Michigan. The other.' which '.started from.. Buff !pr, . New, York, ffsedt this road part of the way hrough Pennsylvania to an 'Atlantic port, , Forty . trucks comprised tbo second train. Runs' will be madi regularly from now on.lt Is expected . Heavily-laden motor trucks , are common- sights on any of the roads connecting: the larger shipping cen ters, -of Pennsylvania, New . Jersey. Delaware and Marylad. , - Some are operated by hauling or express firms, some; carry United States mails bnt the -majority -are i the - property, of ; manufacturers. . . i . . FORD The .
