Declares
In Tiew ol the propaganda that
Is being spread regarding traffic
regulations and the treatment of
tourists by the Salem police. May
or J. B. Giesy was Interviewed by
a Statesman reporter and asked to
make a statement, setting forth
the actual facts as they have come
to his personal knowledge. His
statement follows:-
."There is no truth whatever In
the report that tourists or other
drivers of automobiles are being
mistreated by our local officers or
that the traffic laws" are being too
stringently enforced. In dealing
with the traveling public the Sa
lem police department follows the
same policy as has . been adopted
by the state traffic department,
and the excellent work of. the
state men cannot be questioned.
"We welcome, the tourists as
well as our neighbors from the
suriuunding communities but wo
should not turn our streets over
to the careless and reckless driv
ers to permit them to maim or de
stroy life at their will. The peo
ple of our city are entitled to pro
tection as is also the visitor who
aims to keep within the law.
"An innocent citizen run down
and killed by an automobile - is
quite as dead when the driver of
the car is a tourist as he would be
if the driver had been a local re
sident. Our officers are not seek
ing to hail people into court; theii
purpose is to protect the life and
limb of their fellow man and in
this, they should have the hearty
cooperation of all well-thinking,
law abiding people.
"In efficiency the Salem police
iorce stands second to none. With
Frank A. Minto . at th head as
chief of police it is under splendid
supervision. Mr. Minto, a man of
good judgment, is given a free
hand. The men on the force are
all of his own selection. There Is
not a single man on the force to
day, nor has there been since Mr
Minto became chief, who was ap
pointed through my solicitation or
were by my recommendation. The
city council has also leen willing
at all times to permit the chief to
select his own men. Since he be
came chief In January, 1924, he
has relieved from duty several of
ficers who failed to measure up to
his standard and dl so without
any interference from the council
or mayor. The result is that the
police department has rendered
splendid service and perfect har
mony prevails, a conltion greatly
desired and of utm'ost importance
to insure efficiency.
"All officers . report la Chief
Minto direct or through his night
sergeant, George Edwards and re
ceive their orders direct from the
chief. This eliminates confusion
and fricton always found -where
there s divided authority.
"As an example 'of the work be
ing done by the" men on our po
lice force, will briefly cite follow
ing cases:
"A . few weeks ago a stranger
drove into the city at night, his
car bearing a Washington .license
plate. Instead of continuing along
the streets designated as the Pa
cific highway he circled through
outA)f-the-way side streets. His
maneuvers attracted the attention
of a local traffic officer. The
stranger was questioned asr-to his
destination; also asked it he had
a drivers license. He was unaMe
to produce one, nor could he give
satisfactory information that
might have led to his identity. Re

the car and II. 31 Tracy, better known as "Tracy the used car man," is standing in the rear.
Mr. Tracy is a new man in the MacDonald organization but not a new man in the automo
bile business. He has had over 10 years experience in the automobile selling' business and
claims to have held the high sales record for last year. He is well known In Salem, having
been with the F. W. Pettyjohn company for the past year and a half.

The Demand for the New

For Increase
June shipment ' of Hupmobiles
will surpass those of June 1924
by from 30 to 40 per cent, and
will be larger even than those of
June 1923, O. C. Hutchinson, gen

Motor Car corporation, said yes
terday. They will exceed those
of May 1925 by at least 500 cars,
he added. May shipments were
45 per cent higher than those for
the same month last year.
"Demand for the new Eight is
having considerable to do with
our enlarged business, Mr.
Hutchinson pointed out. "Since
the recent reduction of $180 in the
price of each model its sales at
retail have already reached ap
proximately a 30 per cent higher
rate than their previous record.
We expect their sales to grow still
more in the next several weeks. !
From June 1 to 10, eight cylin

Orders for more than $3,000,000

Horses! One thing that people
like very much when they go to

places at Cannon Beach, and one
is at the south end of the Elk

the Hotel Ecola, and the owner
of the one at the Ecola is Mrs.
Nina Blanchard, and reports busi

with the crowds coming down, the
season should be a very profitable
one. -
The stores report a very good
season so far , and no doubt, will
be taxed to, the : limit, especially
over the "Fourth." The Cannon
Beach Mercantile company, , has
made extensive improvements and
has now a very fine store. The
"Log Cabin" will open In a few
days as soon as they can get their
stock arranged and fixtures in
place. The Road over the moun

and visitors will have no trouble
in driving over," which is a con
tradition to the report that has
been spread that the road is im
passable. People that have ma

can drive over in perfect safety,
Some few -and necessary im

' Almoat in the heart of the
business district may be found a
place that has a capacity to store
300 automobiles. The Elkef
I Automobile company have recent
I ly completed alterations that give
them room to accomodate - the
large number of cars. The Eiker
Automobile-company is located on
the corner of laiberty and Ferry,
not over one blocs: 'from the heart
of the business district. v
One of the features which Mr,
Eiker has had installed just re
cently is the new headlight testing
station. This station is arranged
for the convlnlence of the cus
tmore. 1 Those wishing to have
their lights tested can drive in
one entrance head their lights into
the tunnel have them tested, give
tho wheel a turn and drive out the
other entrance.
Besides the storage room the com
pany have a wash rack and will
have a gasoline pump and three

The Chevrolet Motor company,
expanding its policy of assuring
long years of driving satisfaction
through proper serviced has added
three more units to Its chain of
service schools.'
There are now tetfy schools In
various parts of the "country, each
in chare of two highly skilled
instructors. It is axiomatic that
there always is one right way and
several wrong ways of doing any
thing. The Chevrolet Instructor
teach that right way. Their class
es are small not more than six
or eight men to permit of in
dividual attention. Each week the
ten schools return to the service
organization between 60 and 80
graduate mechanics whose special
ized knowledge of the car and its
servicing equipment eliminates the
element of chance and guesswork
"Improper fitting of a minor
part may cause expensive damage
to any automobile,' declares C." B
Baldwin, director of Chevrolet
parts and service department.
"But when a man leaves one of
our schools he is a preciosion
mechanic. He does not guess; he
knows. He has knowledge of the
Chevrolet mechanism unobtainable
in any other way."
The seven original service
schools were established last sum
mer at each of the Chevrolet as
sembly plants in the United States
located at the following cities:
Flint, Mich., Tarrytown, N. Y.,
Buffalo, N. Y., Norwood, O., St.
Louis, Mo., Jansville, Wise, and
Oakland, Calif. The success of
this group resulted recently In
the establishment of the three
additional schools at Dallas, Texas,
Denver, Colo.,' and Portland, Ore.,

A chief instructor travels con
stantly from one school to an
other. In the schools are Chev
rolet chassis, used motors, gears.
axle and transmission assemblies
upon which the students work
with Chevrolet precision equip
ment. Often a motor is intention
ally disabled and then placed in
perfect order.
The students come from the
service departments of the 3,400
direct dealers and the ' many as
sociation dealers. The intensive
course lasts one week. Shop fore
men predominate but many sub
ordinate mechanics also attend the
schools. Only Chevrolet men are
accepted as students.
