Paciflo Coast tapremacy is asserting j
iteslf in many ways in the grade of
its many kinds of fruits the many J
millions of its ontpntof lumber, as
wtil as the manufacturing industries, j
showing It is no longer deptndeot on
the eaut for tbe many necessities they j
have in the pant been obliged to a
await the slow deliveries of, br
frnight for tbe many thousands of
miles.
Eren tbe finer grades of mechanical
work is being done here, in fact
sucn industries as automobile man
ufacture and the complete build
ing of the Tourist outomobiles, tbe
two-cylinder car which holds the
world's record against all competitors
in its class, as well as economy cups
for economy of oil consumption
against 63 makes of eastern opponents.
The gene'al busioess of Ibis as well
as (ill other parts of the country are
looking to the automobile as the
mode of quick transportation as well
as for tbe pleasure derived in going
through the bills and val'eys and en
joying tbe progress made not only in
the improvement of tbe roads, bnt
the general appearance of life and
bustle among our farmers and fruit
growers, and the fact that you are iu
a good machine and can see what is
being done and enjoy tbronghly the
pleasures of tiring and being in a com
munity that is op to date la all re
spects to tbe time and anticipating
the tmpovements to make this our
portion of the state looked to by all
as the section most desirable at the
progressive and pleasure loving pub
lic. R. ti. Wilson the Southern Oregon
agent for tbe Tourist, has recently
made a trip to Roseburg 100 miles
north, over the worst roads of tbe en
tire southern part of the state and
making the trip in eight boars of
running time gives an idea of what
can be done with a car of this kind
and the usefulness of a oar as the only
way to see tbe country as well as tbe
economy of time. Our old friend E.
C. Dixon and wife are on their return
from a sight seeing trip of the entire
southern section of the ooast making
a Ave months trip in a 24 horse power
Tourist and are expected here the
latter part of this week, also Benty F.

As indicative of the fact that
Oraost Pass and Josephine coonty
enjoy all the confort aud luxory of
automobiling the following sketch
from Mr. Olding! garage and Roy
Wilson, who sells gasoline gigs in
Orants Pass are ample proof. Mr.
Olding says:
The horse ao looger can snaintain
the stream of progress in Josephine
county. His place is being usurped
by the automobile. Daring the pa.t iu
weeks oo less than 14 new touring cars
have been brought to Ornats Pass.
Mxwells, Cadillacs, Tooristi ana
Wintons bold the sway. Those who
pasi the local garage and livery of
T. B. Olding who sells Mawxells
throughout Suotliern Oregon, are im
pressed with the appearance of a larg
oity. From 7 in the morning until
near midnight tbe hustle and thrill
about his place of busine-s shows that
there is "much doing" in the valley
of tbe Rogue. Two livery cars are
flying hither and thither at any hour
while tho "Honk I Honk I" of
some impatient driver calling for
gasoline, lubricating oil, or almost
any piece of equipment from a spark
plug to a llmoreaine, body proves to
you that Oldings advent in Grants Pass
brought a new live wire to town.
Faw people realize what a great
credit a good automobile garage is to
our town. It stands in the tame re
lation that does a good hotel. Two
travelers touring between Los Angeles
and Portland meet at Frisco and tbe
south bound one tells the other "be
sure to male your night stop at Orants
Pas. You'll find better hospitality
and better accommodations there than
elsewhere ou the read. " It begins to
look as if we bad caught a breath of
the modern spirit in town. One day
out glides a silent running, two-cy Un
der Maxwell with Olding at the
wheel and later, back comes tbe incor
poration papers for our big new ir
nagtion ditch. Heavens I bow tbe
eyes of the traditional yet living
mossback do bulge. Another turn, a
strange, yet familiar "Hook," and

and Orants Pass, helped that traveler
along She showed that world tourist
geuuiue hospitality and that bospi
tality will be heard around tbe world
Another car glides a ay and a candl
date for the United States senate oomes
back in it saying that Grants Pass will
get a seaport terminal freight rate if
I ever work iu Washington. What do
these things? Tired and abused hor.es
with camel humied backs or frames
ready to put meat on? No; a modern,
elegant, silent runulng motor car that
economy and bosiness sense teach as
to use for both business and pleasure.
Our mountain scenery with .tt'e
swinging, sloping, wiudiug roads
through passes and canyons, by rivers
and lakes, over mountains or across
boulevards stretches of valley orchard
districts all go to euchaut the home
seeker, the pleasure-seeker or the
promoter. Our own citit-u, with their
many curs for themselves and for
their friends, will gain a knowlegde of
the country that will sen a intelligence
to the waiting public
When will the trolley linos and the
railroad come? They will hurry along
wbeu you send some investor in yoor
new car aloug the railroad right of
way to Cresoeut City, or up Williams
Creek to the oaves, or to the mines
dowu Rogue River. Get in the Cadil
lac car with the Williams stage driver
and see how much more smoothly.
'quickly and silently the mail is de
livered, the passeuger carried an 1
j tbe baggage transported. The Cadil-
lac car uses one-half of the time the
puutiug team was wont to require.
Get in the Cadillac with Doctor
Smith, when tiie telephone call him
; to a distant couutry home. There is
no stork iu America can beat that
' car.
Let the aurrouuding towns sit np
' and know that Grants Pass is swiftly
! eclipsing her sister settlements; that
! she Is moving with a speed consistent
with the progress necessary to handle
her growing oroiie to market tbe ava
1 lauchs of fruit sure to drop upon as in
t two more years, to bring to towu her

warehouses to accommodate the exit

siucere thanks for the gap he filled in

Grants Pass Women Are Finding
Relief t Lfxst.
It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity; they
must "keep up," must attend to
duties in spite of constantly aching
backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bear
ing down pains; they must stoop over,
when to stop means torture. Tbey
must walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches from
kidney ills. Kidneys caussjnore suf
fering than any other organ cf tbe
body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read of
a remedy for kidneys ouly that helps,
cares the kidneys and is endorsed by
people you know.
Mrs. K. R. Smith of Grants Pass,
Ore., , says: "For a long time I had
been troubled from kidney oomplaint
and rheumatism. Pains in my back ,
hips and limbs caused me much misery
and I constantly lost a great deal of
rest at night, arising in the morning,
tired aud unrefreshed. After trying
several remedies without relief. I
beard about Doan's Kidney Pills and
procured a box at Clemens' drug store.
At tbe time I had taken the contents
of this box, my health was greatly im
proved. I continued their use and am
glad to say, received complete relief
from the trouble. For this I gladly
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills as a moet
efficient remedy for all diseases of the
kidneys."

become neither acclimated nor adjusted to the peculi
Coast requirements.
The character of the roads and the climatic conditions
on the Pacific Coast are so radically different from those
prevailing elsewhere that no car other than one built
here with the sole idea of meeting these local peculi
arities could have made the wonderful record of vic
tories in track races, hill climbs, endurance runs and
economy tests won by THE TOURIST in the past
year.
These victories, while demonstrating the superior worth
of THE TOURIST under severe strain, prove also its
unique value to the automobilist who demands a car that
will "get there" with dispatch, comfort, and economy.
