8 v TTH3 OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 26,-1923 CIS JE LISTED Eyerly Returns From South ern Oregon Where Speedy . Models Are Signed Lee Eyerly. returned Saturday afternoon from ; Medford and the lower section of Oregon, where he went to interest the; racing men in the big Salem auto races for July 4. : .He comes back -with six genuine .speed cars' signed up on the dotted line, insuring their presence to compete in the big In dependence day classic. ; ? -- Five of these cars " are from 'Medford. where they, have been developing some really!, fast rac ing. . Their track la a mile and an eighth in circuit, gravelly' enough to bo. always hard and .'smooth without dust, and the trans are 'well banked and so wide that a ' car can take them ' "wide Tpen." They .have been turning the " clr ' cult regularly in "57 seconds,- for the mile and one-eighth. " ' The fastest 'time made in the June "races on the Salemrack was a mile In only. 55 seconds,1 showing that the Medf orders, are "drivjng fools," and that their' cars .-are tremendously.; fast. ' This -. would be equivalent of . making the mile In better than " 51, "seconds, ras against the 55 for the best in Sa lem. ' " " ' " ( 7 of the Medford entries, one Is a Dodge racer that is being groom ed' as "the fastest dirt car ever built on the coast.' This remains to be proven, but its record shows that it Is good. ; It haaa special "; 16-valve .racing ' head, and other xpeed additions to the stock Bodge. Another is an Essex, with a Ford rear-aad fitted with 28 x 4 wheels, to conform to, a facing practice that is having a great vo gue. There are two Maxwells, one or them being a "good new Max well" as the advertising recites,, and both are . reputed to be very fast The . Maxwell racers In the past have been - great machines. : .The 'last of the series Is a Ford iha t , raced last yearV winning sev eral fast events. It has special overhead valves, and other racing addittons. ' ' " - ' V At " Roseburg one Ford special was listed that Is sure to come. It Is a 16-vaIveV machine, with 28 x 4 wheels,1 and its' owners and Roseburg, rriends believe' It Is a worlJ.hea.tpK. 1 i -' '"A".. C tar (ha hAsmr a rlflM hat not. made 'mucblijeadway.;'". This cars are fewer to number, usuat - Jy less durable in construction and they are going Into the class of obsoletes In most of the really big as well as the common races. The stock car race, however, promises to be even,'mor keenly competed fof . than In 'the June races. It. is understood that; the tudebaker and - Essex cars that ,were here June 9, will come again -and that there will be some local entries, Because of their unifor mity in speed and quality of per formance and In reliability, the stock car race at the last meet t was even more, thrilling than the best of the - genuine ; race car events. With more high class en- tries, as they are now expected, , the stock car event will be one .of the really live races of the day. The race management is urging out-of-town visitors to come to Sa lem and camp at the state fair grounds for; the dayj They1 are to ". provide wood ..for 'the campers, in addition to the State furnishing ' the shade and the Water and the beautiful camp grounds ought to be crowded.'

In their "physi cal tests, four "events consisting of the board and the high jumps, the- 100-yard dash end the 'fence j vault, every man qualified, a very exceptional record, f A, number of them were; far above, the standard requirements, and the company ranks as an, aggregation of super men. They have the top record in the inspection ' bf, quarters, cook house, 'and equipment. They have ! fitted" up their barracks in a way that 'most common soldiers never; dreamed, of, and the : Inspectors have i given tfaemT exceptional marks for their care. Thursday night the boys started Out with full marching equipment for, a. Six-mile tramp.' They, cook ed their, suppers and breakfasts out in the. field, i slept out under the.-stars and the blankets and came back In Friday morning. The health of the company is ex ceptionally; good.

Is ' a ! ne w , tariff filed wltht the public service commission yes terday by the Orefon-Washington Railroad. & " Navigation .company placing class rates from the ken newick and Pasco territory on a parity with those Into Portland. The' new schedule Is also on file with - the . - Washington utilities commission and - the interstate commerce commission.". " The present class rate from the Kennewick and Pasco territory to Puget sound is $ 1.07, and the proposed new rate, which if not August l.ils 11.01 1-2 cents, which Is the present rate to Port land, i - Since all rates' are based on Class rates, It is said that estab lishment of the proposed new rate would ultimately effect grain. This would mean that grain ship ments of the state Jof Washington would gq to' Seattle instead of Portland and ' would cut down water traffic out of Portland to an Important degree. -m In the Columbia basin grain rate case Portland was give an advantage ' over the Puget sound ports because of the natural water grade enjoyed by Portland .as against the over-monntein pull in to the Puget sound country., The proposed new tariff of the OWE ft N. Co. Is not under the jurisdiction of the public service commission, but'eomes within; the jurisdiction of the interstate com merce commission. - ' Two Fine Cows Bought l.

Large Peach Crop Seems - "What looked like a rather deso late peach prospect a few months ago is now turning Into about the best peach crop; the Willamette valley has had In a long time, ac cording to the Beaver Island or chard people, the Pearcy Brothers and O..If. DeWitt, : -1. . They are starting In to thin their whole 5 I-acre orchard of peaches, for the - fruit Is now growing so heavlly that only dras tic thinning will save it. Last winter they pruned part of their older orchard very heavily to open up the trees that had been plant ed too close together, and give them more sunshine, but it didn't keep the fruit from setting too heavily on the branches that were left. They have a full force1 of workmen nipping off the surplus fruits. . . . The Beaver Island orchard Is Just now being t treated for the brown rot, that affected so many orchards last Tear. 'The treatment is easy merely a ' dust bath 1 of flower of sulphur,: blown on! in the' early morning when there Is no wind and the powder can. set tle 1 down Into the trees. The brown rot Is a fungus' growth that attacks the . fruit and usually works with extreme rapidity Just as the peaches are almost ' ripe. A seemingly perfect fruit mayj be hopelessly spoiled within a few hours when the weather condi tions are; favorable. Rainy and cloudy weather is the time that brings out the pest at its worst. Extensive experimentation last year seemed to demonstrate that the application of this dry sulphur dusting was an almost sure pre ventive. If not a cure, so the or chardists are starting in early to apply It and save what now looks like a wonderful peach crop.
