Motor vehicles, noUt passenger

Aarust 17, has been received by
Bonesteel Motor company, local
dealer. I '
"These new prices come at a
time wnen uouge Brothers pro
ducts has reached the ' highest
peak of mechanical perfection In
its history,' ' declares Mr. Bone-
steele. VIn an attempt to supply
; public demand, factory production
has been: stepped up since the first
of this year from 900, cars a day
to the present rate of over 1,100
ana now Dodge Brothers are
pushing as rapidly as possible an
eight . million dollar expansion
program" to give them buildings
and machinery for a production of
1,500 cars a day.
"This 'price cut Is just the ap
plication of Dodge Brothers policy
of faithfully returning to the buy
er the saving made possible by in
creased i production, , Since the
first of this year production has
been steadily increased month af
ter month. The first six months
of 1925 were the largest in the
factory's history more than 11
per cent; greater than the first six
months of 1924. The problem for
Dodge Brothers executives has
been, not to find a market for
their product, but to Increase pro
duction jto supply a ready market
"The constantly increasing, yet
never satisfied, demand for Dodge

LIGHTING LAW IS TOPIC

POBTL AND ATJTOMOBILISTS
. VOICING PROTESTS. V?
The new automobile lighting
law which is to go into effect the
first of September has been caus
ing a great deal of discussion the
past week. Some Portland people
have been strong in their protests
against the measure. It is claim
ed that having the lights adjusted
to comply with the new law is
causing too much expense and the
light testing stations are making
the profits. If those so strongly
against ithe measure would go to
one of i.the light testing stations
and let j these people show them
how the lights are improved by
proper adjustment and how the
glare is taken away and how the
lights that they will have will
give them, proper illumination so
that they can! see what is . ahead
of them, surely, they will agree
that it, is a good law, and know
that it will help avoid accidents
that would be much more expen
sive then the adjustment charges.
All motorists dislike to "eat
dirt." . J.- ! '
So do all motor cars.
The only difference is that the
motorist can. hold his breath un
til .the dust cloud j has passed
while the motor must keep on
breathing whatever variety of air
comes to the "nostril" of its car
buretor. -' ' ' -
A striking series of experiments
conducted by the designers of the
Oakland Motor Car company re
vealed that ihe breathing of dust
is really one. of the most serious
factors in engine wear.
: The experiments were conduct
ed with the most delicate of scien
tific instruments some of which
will measure a minute dust par
ticle .0005 of an inch in diameter,
f The conclusion reached by, these
engineers has resulted in the
adoption of the air cleaner with
which the ; new Oakland cars are
equipped. This cleaner, ' which
operates on the principle of the
centrifugal cream separator,
whirls every particle of dust . and
foreign matter- from the air and
feeds only the purified air Into
the carburetor. f p

HIS IT-SB-
Willys-Knight Report Unus
ual Sales of Four Cylin
der Automobiles
By W. C. COXXEB,
It will be observed by those contemplating a triR over the new
scenic Mount Hood loop highway that all routings out of Portland
are by way off Greshm, or the southern route. This, we understand.
is due to the fact that this route affords the easier grade in the nearly
5000, foot, ascent to the highest point on this new loop road, which
is attained at Bennett's pass, ten miles east of Government Camp and
very near the beautiful Sahale Falls, which burst suddenly into full
view of the autoist as he approaches the modern arched concrete
bridge over this stream and which falls are in easy distance for a fine
kodak picture. j
A few minutes before arriving at these falls or three miles to the
west the loop highway crosses White river, which in reality is an-
ancient glacier bed, the narrow valley having been torn from one side
to the other by an avalanch of ice and snow. and a torrent of rushing
waters at some time in the misty past which uprooted giant trees.
moved great boulders and left a. once fertile tract a sand and. rock
strewn waste. Throngh this the White river, now oasses. so-called
from the white, or ashen gray color of its ice cold waters which
emerge from a glacier about, four miles above. From this toint a
wonderful close-up view of Mount Hood is afforded and so rugged
ana wna is tne panorama presented that the autoist will want to
linger at this point for some time and get busy, with his camera. To
enjoy the scenery afforded from this vantage ooint to the utmost the
autoist phould endeavor to arrive, here during the forenoon or before
he is compelled to face the sun in the afternoon and thereby have a
bad light for kodak work.
The first 46 miles of this excellent loop road out of Portland

there being an inn at the end of this trail where meals and refresh

want to remain over night and make an early, bold dash for the sum

by a professional mountain climber wno negotiated tne rugged, icy
and steep grade to the summit in three hours. On the summit (s
located a stone and steel constructed forestry lookout station from
which on a clear day a most wonderful panorama spreads out in every
direction from this vantage point exactly 11.225 feet above the. sea
level. One-mile east of Government Camp and one mile south of the I
loop road is a wonderful, warm mineral spring at which is a small
store, a mineral water swimming pool and a good free camp ground.
The descent into Hood River valley over the excellent winding loop
road along the turbulent Hood river is full of interest and every
autoist should stop at Mount Hood Inn on the Cooper Spur road about
onet-quarter mile off the loop highway, which is a most Interesting
place. From the observation tower at this place a wonderful view
of the four greatest snow-clad peaks of the Pacific northwest Is ob
tained, Mt. Hood being in the foreground to the south and Cloud Cap

With more than 30.000 cars

the Hudson Motor Car company,
shattered all previous records for
volume of business in the aix
cylinder field, according to word
received here by Fred M. Powell.
Hudson-Essex distributor.
Thtatphenomenal output, it was
declared, made July the seventh
consecutive month in which Hudson-Essex
has set new high marks
for six cylinder business. The
volume of Hudson-Essex business
is now said to be greater than in
July.
In line with this national Hud
son-Essex six cylinder leadership,
the Fred M. Powell: Motor cars,
made July the banner month of
the Concern's history. Sales would
have been even larger, it is declar
ed, if deliveries could have been
made to all those who wished
cars. Summer ordinarily la a dull;
season, but the business Hudson-
Essex cars have had in the past
few weeks has proved this year
the exception. Business - is Im
proving too, rather , than falling
eft. . .
"The gratifying fact about lead
ership ia. said Mr. Powell 1hat
this great volume of business Is
no sudden spurt following a show
ing ot new models, but is simply
a growing continuance of business
done for all of this year.
"It is simply a proof that the
public regards Hudson-Essex cars.
