critical toward the commission,
charging that too little progress
had been made, but since then has

There are automoblliBts who
have not the mental capacity nec
essary to drive a car with safety
to the public. The person of low
mentality who has control of a
car's steering wheel is not long in
demonstrating his unfitness for
that trust. Outrageous offenses
committed in cold blood by auto
mobile drivers ordinarily show a
type of mind that cannot qpcercise
caution and that has no restrain
ing appreciation of human suffer

should be applied to the weeding
out of morons and other persona
of defective minds who go about
armed with automobiles, which
under their control - are deadly

Climbing the Ankeny hill south

A Chevrolet Four-Ninety car
did it,, however, on Tue?day, Aug.
8, under conditions that make it
undeniable. It isn't like the story
of the biggest fish that got away
with only the near-catcher to
swear to its size they've got the
goods on the whole story.
The Salem Automobile company
of Salem took one of its regular
stock cars, 1922 model, down to
the hill, and in the presence of

drought, the berries and the

and needed the rain to freshen
them up for use. The rain did
this, and U. will help to develop

Evergreens seem, to be selling
at the standard price of .5 cents,
a ceni higher than the top price
for lcgpns this year. Last year
they went a cent or more above
the logans. Most of the crop
comes from pastures and fence
rows. The comparatively small
acreage of cultivated evergreens
bears wonderfully well, but that
Is still a minor part of the total
crop. Several hundred tons will
be brought 'in to Salem this year.
Last year, ona man brought in
200 tons from near Aumsville.
He grew most of these in his own
pasture, and. others he bought and
hauled from In his own neighbor
hood. The berries are said to be
somewhat smaller this year than
last, because of Jhe dry season.

ANKENY HILL ON HIGHGEAR
Tuesday, August 8th, we look a regular 1922 Superior Four-Ninety Cherry
let stock car that had previously run two thousand and sixteen miles, and pulled
Ankeny Hill on HIGH GEAR.
. . . - t ' . ,
w. We removed the gear shift lever and the Itolt in clutch pedal so that the
clutch could not be slipped, or the gears change starting the car in hfch.
. The witnesses, whose names appear below were present at the trial and will
attest to the truthfulness of this statement.
We firmly believe that there is not another stock car, outside of a Chevrolet,
in the United States, selling under $1,500,00 that can duplicate this performance,
using the same gear ratio, which Is three and sixty-five one-hundredths to one on
high gear. : : v
This performance only proves what the Chevrolet, Valve in head will do.'
We are willing to make affidavit as to the truth of this test, and if doubted,
will make it agaim
Remember this was a strictly STOCK car,, the same as i every purchaser of
Four Ninety Superior Chevrolet gets, had no adjustments or tuning up prior to the
test and you buy an exact duplicate of this car, NEW, for, $663.00 delivered at
Salem.
