"The population of Canada la
slightly less than eight millions.
The -perkapit ability to absorb
automobiles is! substantially the
same as that of the United States.
The Dominion government realiz
ing that j manufacture of automo
biles in Canada! for Canadian con
sumption exclusive would have
Insufficient volume to permit
prices comparable I with those In
the United States, amended the
tariff regulations, making Canada
a free trade country for export.'
That is, raw materials Imported
into Canada for manufacture,, and
parts or junits brought in for as
sembling, are assessed at the time
of entry and the duty is remitted
when the completed motor vehicle
is exported. This naturally makes
more desirable! the expansion we
have always had in, mind.
"As soon as possible "after the
opening of thej Toronto plant In
February; production will be on a
much larger scale than In the
former Canadian plant, to care
for .the ever increasing Canadian
and other British demand for
Dodge Brothers motor cars."

Progressive Auto Mechanic
Has New Plan of Financ
ing Henrys Overhaul
Here are fire cancer -axioms
that everybody should learn by
heart: , .
1. After the age" of 3"5, one out
of every eight women and one out
of every 11 men die of cancer. :
' 2. Cancer is at first local and
permanently, curable by operation.
Cancer .nearly . always gives
some indication of its presence
while in this stage. ,
. 4. In at least "four fifths of
cases cancer begins in regions ac
cessible to surgery. f i
5. The majority of cancer
deaths are due to delay' and are
unnecessary. ,,. ' l
"It is unfortunate that occa
sionally prysicians immersed In
general practice are not fully con
versant with what may be accom
plished by modern surgery." says
Dr. David Cheever of Harvard
medical school. . "They can con
sider., a case hopeless while it is
still operable. In so serious a con
dition as cancer, neither the pa
tient nor his physician should be
satisfied with a single opinion.'--Hygeia.

ASKS HEA1T DAMAGES
- A 120.000 damage suit charging
alienation of his wife's affections
was. filed late Tuesday in circuit
court , here by Frank White of
Portland against George M. Wer
line, prominent hop man of Inde
pendence. The suit, ; brought by
Attorneys J. F. Alexander of Port
land and J. N. Helgerson of Dallas
asks 910,000 as damages for being
deprived of his wife's affections
and $10,000 exemplary damages
'because of said malicious acts'?
-recited, in the complaint.
The time charged in the com
plaint runs from February, 1924,
to September 30, 1924, and is
We are all getting more or less
used to the idea of buying our
furniture,' groceries, clothing, Jew
elry and such items on credit but
the last word In progress Is the
shop opened by. H. H. Shocker at
349 Ferry stree where it is pos
sible to have the ailing automobile
put back into the flush of youth
on the credit plan. It would seem
that in this state of high license
prices this would be a godsend to
the weary auto owner.
Mr. .Shocker ; reports , that the
new plan is gaining in favor rap
idly and anticipates that as the
public becomes more acquainted
with the system there will.be a'
very heavy demand for his serv
ices. Xine years experience in the
auto repairing business makes Mr.
Shocker amply competent to
diagnose and treat the ailments
of the most ailing car whether It
be. a Pierce Arrow with the gout
in its manifold or a Ford with a
chillblaln in the gas tank.
Mr. Shocker has been in busi
ness in Salem for some time and
came here from Salt Lake City.
A machine shop and welding shop
in connection makes it possible tq
give quick service on any kind of

her the world's leading junior

305-day record was 24.062.3 lbs.

the conquering of Which involves
practical knowledge as well a,s
privation, and , hardship. To help
guard against these abuses it is
proposed by Senator Dennis to
establish a State Colonization
commission and equip It with an
appropriation that 1 will . enable It
Jo supervise state effort at land
Settlement. j '
1 The t "commission shall have
general supervision of state ef
forts tof bring and locate in the
state of Oregon desirable .persons
who' wish to acquire lands and
follow agrlcultuTa'UoT other pur
suits," saysS? 1166, the, Dennis
bill. "It shall especially study
the conditions in the several irri
gation districts with a view to de
termining the vnses1 to! Which the
lands are best adapted and shall
use its best efforts to obta!n: set
tlers who are recfuipped by- ex
perience' to carry on the kind of
agricultural pursuits to which the
district is best adapted.--
This measure -springs from the
sense of moral responsibility that
Is felt by many people' of Oregon
towards those who are Invited to
come here and make their home.
We have witnessed so often in the
last twenty years that homeseek
ers have lost their lifetime savings
through having i been 4 Inveigled
into buying land that could not
pay for itself In addition to yield
ing a living -unless the' settler
had the hardy disposition and
nractical exoerience that : would
enable him to survive and con
quer. - j ' . ; .. - '
A service would be performed
by a state commission if it would
keep homeseekers from settling on
any land In Oregon unless they
knew how to farm In the way It
should be farmed. But can a
state commission do this? Would
a state commission dare divert one
settler from one. irrigation pro
ject? Would not the people In
terested in the project raise such
an outcry against such a state
commission that the next legisla
ture would abolish the commis
sion? 1 - "'".
And if the commission did not
have courage to keep inexperien
ced settlers front trying to. con
vert sagebrush. Into alfalfa and
pay $100 or more an, acre from
the profits of the venture, what
good would the commission be?
For the state to attempt to be
a father and mother to the home-
seeker may be attempting too
much. But there is no question
as to the worthy purpose behind
the movement. The only question
Is as to its practicability. Oregon
