elie success in the development of power is known
throughout motordom. The power plant of the new Velie 34,
maintains and enhances the Velie reputation.
Here you will find everything you expect of motor
science for 1920 a new assurance of energy for every
emergency for the steep climb the hard going in snow,
slush, mud, clay and sand as well as for speed on the
broad, hard highway.
It is a REMARKABLE motor. Here is a new exper
ience in quick sure pickup. Here is a flexibility that
marks a distinct advance in this quality for which engineers
have striven so long. We are proud of the new Velie's
power plant and you will justify our pride after an inspec
tion of its performance. .

dum. N. G. WALLACE, .
County Judge of Crook County.
Prineville, Or., April 26, 1820.
Comfort
Plenty of room even when the car has five adult pas
sengers. Easy, restful riding even when the roads are not
the best.
These things so essential to the 1920 ideal of car com
fort, are realized in the new Velie 34, to a degree that sets
it apart from all ordinary light sixes. .
Velie comfort is proverbial. It is accomplished by the
correct balance of the car and by long springs with many
thin leaves, worked out by many years of engineering and
motoring experience. The many springs -that support the
upholstery are oil tempered as carefully as the big springs.
On top of these goes curled hair, and over this goes deep
plaited genuine leather upholstery an expensive item
these days.
Reliability
ent law It is simply impossible for any
set of men to so handle our affairs as
to maintain our county government
and pay off these warrants. We are
now paying 6 per cent interest on
these' warrants and thev are discount
ed at least 6 per cent by the banks
and this discount is, of course, made
up by Increased prices on labor and
materials furnished the county. Tou
might say, "Whv not vote an ezcess
levy and retire these warrants?" But
you must not lose sight of the fact
that we have a $5,000,000 tax roll ano
that an extra tax levy of $100,000 at
any one time would be ruinous. If we
stretch the matter over a period ot
years, we would be forced to hold an
election every year. This would not
only be very expensive, but would take
a long time to put us on our feet. This
indebtedness of ours is not a voluntary
inaeoteuness, growing out or acts of
reckless officials, but has been forced
upon us by the operation of law, and
we of Crook county feel that the peo
ple of the state should take sufficient
Interest in the matter and permit us
a way out of our difficulty.
This amendment, if carried, will per
mlt the question of voting bonds to
take up these warrants to be submit
ted at the November, 1920, election.
If approved by the people of the coun
ty a serial bond can be sold on a five
twenty basis. We can perhaps sell
these bonds for 5H Per cent and not
exceding g per cent, and even at the
higher rate of Interest, a saving can
be had of not less than 5 per cent per
annum. In this way a levy can be1
made every year to pay interest and ,
create a sinking fund, put us on cash
basis and then if we do not remain out
of debt, it will be our own fault. Our
local bunkers are burdened with these
warrants, and unless we can have
some relief from this burden, as coun
ty Judge of this county, I will be forced
to throw up my hands.
I Will appreciate very much having
you give some publicity to the
thoughts embraced In this letter. The
billjtubmittlng this proposition to the
people of the state was a creature of
my ntind evolved In trying to reach
some solution for our present desper
ate cituation. It is not a scheme of
any bonding house neither does It con

in touch with the circumstances of
Dr. Shelton's capture held at the time
that any other missionary would have

On the trip to Seattle Dr. Shelton
was accompanied by his wife and by
their two daughters, Doris, IS and
Dorothy aged 12. These little girls
were born In China and speak the
Chinese-Tibetan language more flu

While Dr. Shelton was in the hands
of the bandits, his family, who resid

"The name insures the quality" is a slogan backed by
records in the case of the Velie. The new model 34, we can
confidently assert, will add new lustre to the line. ;
For more than ten years Velie cars have made excep
tional history of performance. Some of the first Velie cars
are in faithful use today.
Records up to and even exceeding 100,000 miles, with
what, so far as we can learn, is the lowest upkeep cost, at
test the satisfaction of Velie owners.
Velie Durability means more than lasting quality. It
means strength, like its power, in excess of ordinary de
mands Strength to carry the car through the hardest use
every day. Every car owner knows the "satisfaction of
constant service.
Style
When you make your comparisons of the new Velie
34 for style, you will appreciate at once the smartness and
distinction which mark it as one of the finest creations of
1920 art in automobile design and finish. -
This is the result of special concentration by the Velie
body builders, long famed for their leadership in this line.
With its hfgh cowl, its extra length defined in well-harmonized
lines, its charm of perfectly-unified form, it expresses
a style ideal of which any owner will be proud in any com
pany. To this he may add the satisfaction of knowing that it
will hold its beauty throughout the years. For the Velie
mirror finish lasts far longer than is expected of the ordin
ary car.
