The latest feat accomplished
by the Chevrolet is the winning
of the famous Mt. Hood tropy.
For a number of years, auto­
mobile enthusiasts of the North­
west have annually battled for
the honors of putting the first
motor car into Government Camp
on Mt. Hood. The cup for 1919
goes to the Chevrolet, having
been won during the past week
by a one-ton Chevrolet truck,
driven by C. H. McCabe of Port­
land.
This is the first time that a
commercial car has ever entered
for the competition and the
victory of the Chevrolet truck is
more remarkable when it is con­
sidered that it broke all previous
.records for the first car to cover
the mountain trail.
McCabe was accompanied by a
number of newspapei men of the
Northwest and a camera oper­
ator for one of the well known
motion picture weeklies. In ad­
dition to the passengers carried,
the truck was loaded to more
than capacity on its run over the
snow-blocked mountain roads.

Large oil companies

Dozens of large
auto trucks are being unloaded
from the trains daily and sent
to the oil fields loaded with fuel
lumber and other material. A
genuine oil boom is at fever
height. Claims are being staked
out in the new field by the hun­
dreds. and in some cases three
filings are made on a sin* le
claim. Jumping claims seems to
be a common sport, and the shot­
gun policy has had to be adopt­
