churia Campaign
During the world war, while
attention waa focused on the
great struggle what waa going on
In western Europe, a part of the
campaign was being carried on
by the Japanese army in north
ern Manchuria and Siberia. Much
' of the territory in which fight
ing was going on was far from
the nearest railroad, and the
transportation problem was one
of the greatest importance. Sup- J
piles of all descriptions must oe
delivered to the fighting forces
Without delay or serious lnterrup- i
tion. Officials must be e.rled
to and fro. Wounded must be
taken to the rear.
The Japanese authorities solved
the problem in this case, by or
ganizing a motor transport ser
vice. 1
The car selected for service of
v h a character must of neces
sity be capable of withstanding
the greatest amount of abuse and
neglect without ceasing to func
tion. It must be easily handled
and be free from all complication.
It must also be capable of being
easily repaired in case of mishap.
To fulfill these exacting condi
tions the Japanese authorities
chose the Buick encouraged, per
haps, by the performance of a
fleet of these cars in the Gobi
desert, In Mongolia, a conquest
of impossible conditions that has
become world famous. That their
confidence was not misplaced is
shown by the fact that the
Japanese distributor has received
Iron two different branches of
tho service citations of the cars
used.
The first citation translated
reads:
"Wo hereby certify that the
Buick cars were In service of the
First Automobile Corps during
the campaign In northern Mau
churi aaud Siberia, and which
started for the front in September
19 IS. The Buick cars proved
their superiority, their depend
able efficiency and the facility
of their control and driving, de
spite the hilly and Bluiggy roads
in the territories where they
were driven, wlthstauding hard
usage even In the depth of winter
with the temperature 00 degrees
Fr. below zero. They have not
encountered with any detects In
their mechanism, and the fuel
consumption was far smaller than
the others." Tlio First Auto
mobile Corps.
Tho Bccond citation Is as fol
lows: "We hereby certify that tho
Buick motor cars, handled by the
Yannse & company, were In ser
vice of the Second Expeditionary
Aeronautical corps, despatched In
Siberia, and proved the stability
of the mechanical functions,
facilities of controlling and driv
ing. Even In the season of severe
cold in the territories mbove
mentioned, there wu no defect
found In the mechanism; In short
the superiority of the car proved
to be unusually noteworthy."

Western Oregon
Offers Big Range
For Auto Tourists
"Where shall we go this sum
mer?" This Is the universal
question in motordum these bright
spring days. Circumstances have
conspired to answer it In part
"we shall stay In Oregon and en
tertain the thousands from
road" but beyond that restric
tion there is a width of choice
bounded only by the great acean
on the west, the big hills m the
east, and a beautiful drive north
and south to Canada and to
Mexico. Within this boundry are
pleasant resorts and beautiful
scenery which beckon the aspiring
motorist with their Infinite
variety of charms.
In the Willamette Valley, the
magnificent granary of half the
west, the gem-like beauty of the
mountain districts and the joyous
and health-giving sea breeze, cap
ture the Immigration of every real
American. Further south is the
glorious scenery of the Rogue
river valley and the Cascade and
coast ranges of mountains; and
the beguiling smoothness of a
splendid road system up the
Columbia highway to Eastern
Oregon. All of these are con
stantly Inviting tourists from all
directions.
Last summer witnessed a tre
mendous increase in trans-conll-nental
touring, and the coming
season, according to present In
dications, will show another gain
in this red-blood sport. The
Shrlner's convention in Portland
last summer stimulated much
crosn-country travel by motor car
and since that event all motor
dom has heard the call of Oregon
and Is responding. That the
motor touring season of 1921 Is
going to break all existing re
cords is agreed by all those In
a position to know.
From local organizations that
handle touring Information come
reports of preparations Tor meet
ing heavily Increased demands.
This is not merely a biased
thought fathered by those deeply
Interested In having It como true.
There are solid grounds of reason
for asserting that motor touring
this year will reach heights of
popularity on tho part of Ameri
can people never before attained
by any sport. Oarage men, hotel
men and all manner of commer
cial Industries anticipate It and
are preparing to meet the demand.
