Automobile Smashed. Down at the foot af a 150-foot embankment about four miles beyond Sum mit. with wheels pointing skyward, twisted into a shapes and badly J smashed generally, lies what re I mains of a fine two-seated auto ! mobile. Tne accident occurred nearly a week ago while John Moyer, a gunsmith of Salem, and three companions were en route from Corvallis to Newport. This is probably the first time an 'auto has ever attempted this- tor tuous road but the novelty ol tne trip appealed, to the romantic natures of the gentlemen in ques tion and that is how the auto mobile got into the scrape. Everything went well until the summit was reached and tne de scent on the west side of the Coast Range began. There are some pretty steep grades and the wagons have cut deep narrow ruts. The view from the sum and beyond for several miles is also one of surpassing beauty and it was while the aato-wagou was puffing and snorting down one of these particularly bad stretcnes 01 road and the chauffeur was, rub bering round through the can yons that the spill took piace. - The automobile ran into the bank on the upper side of the road and Moyer, who was doing the steering act, twisted the crank violently in the opposite direction. The auto grunted a couple oi times, rolled over on its back and with a wild snort started down the 150 foot grade, demolishing two rail fences, grinding dirt and stones to powder and leaving a trail behind similar to a Kansas cyclone. The dead auto is lying at ihe foot of the grade still, si lent and cold. The occupants were not seriously iniured, but have been in no mood to make a post-mortem examination 01 the poor, old machine.

Dr. Farra was called and considered it a good catch. Where Dugan cangut the dis ease is not known, but as it was still in its insipiency no danger was encountered by his running at large.
