MOTOR JOURNEY IS DESCRIBED Allen Hudelson Tells of Trip of Motor Supply Tram ' Through East f Allen Hudelson, who is with Com pany I?' of the Firth division, motor supply train, has written from Buffa lo, N. Y., to hit aunt, Mrs. A. B. Hudelson of5 Salem, a very Interest ing account of a three-weeks motor 'truck trip recentlktaken by his com pany. A large part of New England wu covered in the trip and when the letter was written young Hudel : ton expected to start on. a longer trip In few days. He writes as ; follows: , , ' v .-; . v We Just got In today from a three i week' motor truck drive. Every one Is pretty glad it Is over with, but i 1 expect we will be starting on an 5 other trip In a day or two. This will probably be a longer one 'as I think I we are going to Detroit, Mich., to get some cars to bring to the coast, i . I ' "Our trip -was a pretty good one except fpr the last two days when we had to drive through .a lot of mud wbitb it sleeting and snowing all the time. We had fine paved road nearly all the way except through Delaware Maryland and a part of Pennsylvan ia. These roads were a fright, near ly. all mud but we managed to pull through them without getting stuck many times. The second day out was when we had most of our tioubie. We were stuck about twelve times that day. When we came to a bad place the roost trouble is to get the first truck and after it the rest are not so bard.- We have a chain al ready attacked to the tail end of each track so all we have to co after one truck is over a bad place is to throw out the chain and attack It to the front of the next to cross and so on ! to each truck until they are all over, i It would surprise you how these cars jtear'up the road but when so many i of them pass over the same place It ,i is sure hard on. even good paved i roads. We went by way of Lincoln .3 Highway a good part of the way. "I wish you could see this country up around here for it can't be beat. I believe it's a lot prettier than the Willamette valley. I don't suppose they could make so much money on their rarmi here but it would be a mighty fine place to live. There are certainly plenty of towns and cities here. There don't seem to be any letorr from one. town to another There are nice fine country homes an along the way. Ton see so many of these country homes just before coming into New York city. Most of them are still closed for it is still pretty wintry up bete. We followed all up the Erie canal through New York it is about the size of the High Line Canal in Twin Falls.. "We had Quite a round about trip going from here to Baltimore, It was more of a pleasure trip to most of us although we had some hard ships in with It. Our trip took us through New York state to Spring field, Mass., where we" took on a load of motorcycles. From there we went through' Conneticut, Delaware, liew York city, Philadelphia on down I to Baltimore. TOurtraln seemed to ibe quite a notable event to them. They all gave us fine write ups in the papers saying we -were the big gest military movement ever made ion American roads--. Had moving pic i tares taken or us and I don't know j how many pictures taken by report ers. I guess we am maae a preiiy good patriotic scene ! to many for there were 138 five ton trucks in our train. When we were on the move, we were stretched out for two or three miles and sometimes as far as five and six miles, according to the i nature of .the road. Every town gave di i fine reception and loaded us .with plenty of eats and smokes. We made the. entire trip with only one i serious accident when a driver in one of the tracks ran over a boy and kill ed him In one town we passed ' through. I don't think it was the driver's fault though for the streets - of the towns were always1 crowded ' a ad in some places it kept the police ! busy keeping the crowds back. We ' always' drove slow" through a town and were- careful. P 1 tiu. Camp At Yale Bowl. "I guess you have heard of the i ble Yale Bowl, the largest stadium, seatlne over 90.000 neople. -Thl is ' In New Haven. Conn., w camped right by the side of it one night 1 while on our trip. This Is also the town in wlhch Yale college islocated. I ruess we shocked a few of the high brows' that came to see us. It was on Sunday we came through here and I of course every one was out and the whole city followed us down to where we camped. The amount of .ques tions they, could ask yon -would make you head swim. I was on kitchen police that day and most of them ' Aeemed most curious as to how we ,t nrenared a. meal. They stood around so thick we couldn't do much and it "would knid of get my goat some times having them watch every move ,but we finally got our supper in our old fashioned way. roon'r anow what kindpfan impression we left. . anyway some-of the girls -didn't seem "a bit backward In sharing our chow with us. -" ' . 1 J Well 111 now tell yon a little of our three day stay in New York city, lilt might sound a little countrified !In me the way I tell it but I'm notb ling but a 'rube when It comes to !New Yoik city anyway. We came In by way of the Riverside ,d rive, mlgh iity.flne scenery along here. It is all aloag the side of the Hundsod river, Kl believe the prettiest river I've ever seen. There were some nlce apart mat houses along here. This 'was 'something new to me seeing people i giving In twenty story buildings. It was plain to see New York was pret ty crowded place to have so many of them. These twenty story apart ment homes reached out for three or ,four miles, nearly all of them Join ing each other. Along here we pass ed Grant's Tomb, certainly a pretty tjaounument. 'We were located t ; pier . on 65th street. We untoaded our motor cycles here. ."While , In New Yoik I got to see the Wool worth .building and went up the elevator to the very. top storjr and observa- i i non gaiiery. You can get a fine view or tne citrfrdm here, certain ly a long way up In the air. People below, you looked like black! specks. They just seemed to be moving around, you couldn't see them walk. The Wool worth makes a regular business of taking tourists up, cost you 65c. I also walked over Brook lyn bridge and from Bioklyn took the subway, rode through the Hundson river tube on up to Bronx Park and the Zoological gardens! The elevat ed and subway were certainly some TWO MOTOR ...... i . . . . . thing to make me open my eyes. They sure handle an awful lt of traffic. The Zoological garden 1 was quite a' large place,, didn't have time to see U of it,.6 1 guess they must have about every kind of animal In exis tence. - . ... I expect touII ret tired of r"i. tng If 1 was to go much. into detail about what I saw. but I: think h Hippodrome is worth mentioning. I never dreamed of seeing a place of amusement, on such a large scale. The stage seemed as wide as half a block, bad four elephants and seven, camels on the stage In one scene, and ! automobile m one and nother1 actually had a regular rize railroad locomotive and car. In the last act was a water seen, ra large pool of water under the stars and the floor was removed. It seemed un real to be on a stage. Had several pretty water scenes and fancy div ing and was Illuminated In difeint colored light and had a fountain like the one at Salemf . "In Philadelphia we were treated fine by the people. They put us up at the city hall fof the night, (some class), also gave us nice clean beds and baths. It was after night and four or us went up to1 Independence Hall to see the Liberty bell. We had to beg pretty hard to get the watchman to let us in but he finally, consented. Saw the room, the 'Dec laration of Independence was slrned ilpe also the supreme court room. We fhave had rainy weather the last two days and about two inches of snow. LOCAL CASE - IS MODIFIED Supreme Court Hands Down Opinion in Action of Lytle J Against Ramp Three Cases Advanced on Docket of Suvreme Court Three cases pending in the .state supreme court will be advanced on the docket and heat rd at the earliest dates possible after ' the return of the court from the. eastern Oregon session at Pendleton. - One of the cases is that of Basllio Francont et al against W.

Ttamp executor of the estate of the late Mary A. llamp. ap pellant, the state supreme court yes terday: in an opinion by Justice Ren son modified an opinion by Judge Galloway : of the lower court for Marion county, 'The su't was Instituted to cancel a. note for ,11800 and a mortgage. The paintUTs won In the lower court. It was brought out in the evidence that Lytle;. who was a nephew of Mrs. TtaniD. had entered Into a con tract , by which he and Mrs. Lytle were ' to care for Mrs. Ramp, who was an Invalid. -Mrs. Ramp lived in a house at Capitol and Marlon streets. So that her - nephew and his wife might live , near her she provided them with a lot adjoining hCr home, and nronrvlinp- in tha nlntn. tiff, advanced him money with which 1 to build, a htuse on the lot. The es timated value o' the house and lot was I1K00. and as evidence that the money bad teen advanced the mort gage and note for $1800 were given Mrs. Ramp. r- " . The case grw out of a misunder standing as to what the mortgage and note represented. Lytle claim ed the mony was compensation for the care gfren . Mrs. Ramp, while the executor set up the claim that Mrs. Ramp sold the lot to Lytle for a consideration of $500 and that the mortgage represents other ;money advanced to build the house. la the .opinion . of 1 tae-i supreme court it is held that. verbal contracts made between Mrs., Ifaiup and her nephew can ,be ien(orce- and that testimony shows that the lot was given Lytle but falls to t-stablUh that money was advanced! n& a gift with f which to build the house. It la held that Lytle is entitled to the lot at a value of $500 and that he thould h? i-rediled with this amount on the $ixoo note. Other opinions yesterday ere: L. H. -Turner, et ai.' v. John II.

The charge against her was larceny, preferred by her husband, from whom the had fled to this citr. ' The girl. Rosa De Marco, had been living with her rather In Slsson for some time, and some weeks ago safd she had been compelled by him to marry a man to whom she was much opposed and who,1 according to her story, made her very unhappy. She had written of the conditions to' her motherland the mother had advbed her to leave the man and conie to Salem and make her home with her.

Changed by Amendment By an order of the supreme court made ' yesterday attorneys having esses In the court wilt ao longer have authority to" Include in their abstracts bills of exceptions aad in structions to the Jury. The orfler hi effective in sixty days' and does not apply to cases now pending .In Jbe court. The object of thevrourt in making the order is elimination or expense. The amendment is with out prejudice to the rights of liti gants whoee abstracts are filed wlth ing sixty days from the date of the order. The amendment grows out of the rase of Mary I. Mercer against the Germanla Fire Insurance company, appellant. By a previous order the court disallowed the plaint irf costs for printing of the abstract. 4 She filed a motion for reconsideration of the order which was allowed yester day. ' ' ': ' - ji-.

Manager Gill of Com mercial Club Hears From Administration' The Salem Commercial club har received from s food adminlr.trr.tion headquarters another urgent arpeai in the' line'ofTood conservation, and Acting Manager Gill has been con sidering the matter of Inaugurating another drive in Marion county with a view to doubling the coasuraptlon of potatoes as a wheat-saver. ' Pos sibly a conference of leading busi ness men will be calcld In the near future for the purpose of mapping out a method of bringing this mat ter home to every consunjer In the county.- There is a double reason for push ing uch a campaign In Oregon., There Is a dire need of further con serving t wheat almost to tfc point or total abstinence: and there Is the further fact, that there an 00 carloads or potatoes In Oregon that will spoil before mid-summer. Hence, if the campaign Is launched the consumer will be askM to heir- dreds In Girilam county, many pups J out the Oregon farmer with a sur Multnomah: suit to redeem contract for sale of land; opinion by Jastice Moore: Circuit Judge Gatens re versed.

Sbeep men have appealed to Dr. W, If. Lytle, state reterin arlan. to' suggest a' remedy and he as recommended that the dogs be vaccinated. This will be done at the expense of the cheep owners. Owners of some ot the largest droves of sheep keep as'maay as l&Q dogs. - Since -the spread of dis temper and the loss of dogs , the sheep are . falling prey to . coyotes. Some"1 owners have lost several hou sand dollars worth of sbeep. pfus of itotatoes on hand, and at th same time add whole carloads of wheat to the supplies to be sect abroad. ' It is proposed that Marlon countr ovganixo total - abstinence club, pledging, the reduction of wheat products on the table to the vanish ing point, as has already been don in several sections of the country.
