PLANNING GARTQ
BURN CHEAP FUEL
Six Cylinder Diesel Engine
Will Speed 80 to 85
Miles Per Hour.
Dispatches this week announce a
new departure in automotive power,
when a car powered with a diesel four
cylinder engine made the'trip of 188
miles, Columbus to Indianapolis on
five gallons of oil. The trip was
made in five hours driving time. '
The experiment marks the first time
an engine of this make has been plac
ed in an automobile chassis and of
ficials of Cummins Engineering com
pany of Columbus, Indiana sponsor?
of the project, expressed themselves
as well satisfied with the results.
The engine is operated by fuel '.il
which costs eight cents a gallon. It
is capable of moving the regular auto
mobile chassis at the rate of 55 and
60 miles an hour.
, ; Plans for a six cylinder automobile
burning cheap oil were revealed by
C. L. Cummins,- Columbus, Ind., fol
lowing a 792 mile trip in a Diesel
powered car at a fuel cost of $1.38. V
The engine will be constructed for
use in the Indianapolis memorial day
race for a demonstration of the re
liability and economy of oil burning
'cars. "! :', :f ; . :
"We do hot expect to win the race,"
Cummins said, "but by carrying a
fuel supply that will last for the en
tire grind we hope to eliminatepit
stops and to maintain a speed of 80
to 85 miles an hour." .
after the successful trip from Indian
apolis to the national automobile
show, a trip viewed by the Inventor
aS "a laboratory experiment to see If
the engine could stand a cross coun
try trip."
i The engine mounted in the auto
mobile is a standard marine type
Diesel, a four cylinder model with n6
refinements for passenger car uses
except perfection of a throttling de
vice which allowed the driver to con
trol the engine like aik ordinary gaso-
lin motor.
Cummins' engine, the result of 12
years of work in the field differs from
ordinary Diesel engines in that the
fuel is gasified before being injected
into the cylinders. . j
Tt.A nil from - which caaohne has
' W" w." ' u
been extracted by distillation, is used.
The injector of the Cummins is a
miniture still which "cracks" the oil
under pressure and extracts what:
gasoline remains. , ,
Each charge to the cylinders is
one-third the size of a grain of rice.
Injected into the cylinders, the gaso- j
line is ignited and furnishes enough
oil that does not "crack."
snark ttlues in the
motor. The ignition is taken care of
by red hot air. The cylinders draw in
pure air and subjected to 500 pounds
pressure which creates a temperature
of 1000 degrees. The fuel is then in
jected.. In one-three hundredths of a second
the tiny bit of fuel is measured out,
delivered to the "still," boiled, gasifi
ed and burned. The fuel costs as low
as five cents a gallon.
"The trip laid the foundation,
Cummins said, "for developments in
any direction we desire. Engines
may be built for trucks and tractors,
passenger automobiles, or dirigibles.
Automobile engines would meet any
traffic condition as well as, being
more economical "There Is no "warm
ing up.' After the engine has made
one turn, the full load can be thrown
upon it. The air for ignition becomes
red hot under the pressure -ahethpr
it is mid-summer or 40 degrees be
low zero."
. Automotive experts viewed the ex
periment a additional proof of
America's leadership in the develop
ment of the Diesel engine.

The Athena town basketball team
again met defeat at the hands of the
fast Milton town team by a score of
19 to 10, at Athena, Tuesday night.
'; The game was fast and rough,
three players going out of the game
on personal fouls. Milton was some
what handicapped by the low ceiling
of the Athena gym ' although they
managed to cage enough baskets. , to
come out in the lead. The first half
the Athena boys checked closely and
held the lads from over the hill down
to 8 points, while gathering in 7 for
themselves. ; ' s
In the second half, Athena started
in the lead after tossing a basket and
a free throw. Milton soon overcame
this lead and led to the finish, the
locals being able to convert one free
throw. - : '
There were a number of substitu
tions for both sides. Athena start
ed with Harden at center, D. Pink
erton and A. Taylor, forwards, and
Michener and G. Pambrun at guards.
The substitutes were: L. Remilard, F.
Remilard and D. Taylor. i .

More Relief Is Sent
To Snowbound
Men
Grants Pass. Armed with light
supplies, a second relief . expedition
was pushing its way toward the Ore
gon caves, where a group of Grants
Pass business men, headed by Samuel
Baker, president of the chamber of
commerce, is marooned. '
Previous attempts to penetrate the
six-foot snow banks ended early
Wednesday in failure. The first relief
party got within nine miles of the
caves, v '
While slight concern is felt for the
condition of the men on account of
supplies slid to have been' left in the
caves inn, some fear was being felt
regarding tne aDinty oi tne inn roois

Snow, which started to fall fast
during the mid-afternoon, was prob
ably piling up at the caves at the rate
of a foot an hour, according to C. A.

who was heading the second relief
party,

Snow Covers the Ground
Unfrozen Means Moisture
Umatilla county's spell of springlike
weather terminated Sunday morning,
when rain suddenly turned into a snow
storm and left the unfrozen wheat
fields covered with about three inches
of wet snow. ; The ; soil not being
frozen is an assurance that the melt
ing of the snow will soak away in
crop-growing moisture.
Umatilla county stockmen have
been winter feeding for several weeks,
but reports- from the stock districts
are to the effect that while hay is
bringing higher prices as a rule than
prevailed last winter, there is a suf
ficient quantity to bring stock through
in good condition. ;
Snow and colder weather was wel
comed by Walla Walla fruit raisers
because in some parts of the valley
trees were beginning to develop buds,
an evidence of sap flowing, which
with further development might prove
disastrous to the season s fruit crop.
The snowfall was general over East
ern Oregon and Eastern Washington,
and from Seattle to the California line
the ground was whitened. In some
localities rain followed and the snow
melted in the valleys of Southern Ore
gon, but the hills and higher moun
tains remained snowcovered.
In Athena the mercury went down
to 18 above zero Sunday night, 10
Monday.
Jimmie McCool's Tribute
To the Late Mike Toner
A fine tribute to the late Mike
Toner is paid by James H. (Jimmy)
McCool, formerly of Walla Walla,
now writer of Wild Life Lines in the
Oregonian. McCool says:
"There are smiles that will live,
maybe forever, but if not that long
then as long as memory holds the
picture of a dear friend. Today 1
am sadly recalling the smile of one I
knew in boyhood. I associate it with
the pleasant smell of a stubble field
in the valley of many waters when a
warm winter chinook has just melted
the snow and the balmy zephyr liftd
up the hearts of those who may have
been dispirited by a long continued
spell of sub-zero weather. Or with
the sweet scent of wildwood smoke
rising from a farmhouse chimney
underneath a hill by an old 3pnng.
"Such a smile had Mike Toner, a
pioneer of Walla Walla, who last
Thursday joined the rear guard of
that pack train which Jong ago start
ed on the Great Trail on which no
one has ever backtrailed." r

The boys and girls' ' basketball
teams of Griswold high school, Helix,
meet the boys and girls' teams of
Athena highschool on the local court,
this evening in the first game of the
present season. '..'
Helix is known to have strong
teams contending for honors this year
and tonight's games should be fast
enough to thrill the fans who witness
it. Athena held the championship
Mac-Hi team to a 33-21 score in the
Mac-Hi gym last Friday night, which
shows that "Pike" Miller's quintet is
beginning to find its stride and should
provide enough stuff tonight ttf kdep

Athena girls' team are showing up
well and should play a stunning good
game tonight. The team-will appear
on the floor tonight in hew suits.
. The Athena-Mac-Hi contest last
Friday night was voted by all who
witnessed it, as a good,- clean fast
game. The large floor in the Mac
Hi gym fooled the local players
greatly at times, particularly in bas
ket shooting. .The first half ended
with the score 15 to 10 in Mac-Hi's
favor ,:
The audience will witness a differ
ent school spirit in the Athena yell
section in tonight's game. It is said
there is to be no student presence in
the body of the audience unless said
students surrender season athletic
tickets and pay regular admission
prices. It is recognized that student
support of athletics is best given
where a united school spirit is aroused
and this can not be realized with stu
dents scattered here and there

McEwan Is To Stick
Until He Is Paid Off
Eugene.- Captain John J. McEwan
upon his arrival here from New York
announced that he is and will con
tinue to be head football coach of the
University of Oregon until every
penny due on the balance of his con
tract is paid. Captain McEwan's con
tract calls for an annual salary of
$8,500 and does not expire until the
end of the 1930 football season.
University authorities, following
their recent decision to terminate Mc
Ewan's contract immediately, declar
ed they would endeavor to reach a
salary settlement with the coach.
In the meantime rumors have been
circulated to the effect that the
search for a.new eoach has narrowed
down to four possibilities. They are

January Wheat Sowing
It is not often that newspapers have
the opportunity to chronicle seeding
of wheat in Umatilla county in the
month of January, but herewith Phil
lip Murtha breaks in on first page
mention due to the fact that he had
his drills at work Saturday, and would
have finished seeding his entire crop
Tuesday evening, had not the weather
man decreed otherwise, sending a
blustering snow storm to interfere
with winter seeding operations. Mr.
Murtha did not seed his land last fall
owing to the drought. Last week he
found the soil to be in prime condi
tion for seeding and he hopped to it.

Tex Rankin Sets Mark
For Outside Loops, Doing
13 Over Portland Field
Portland. Flying an airplane
through more outside loops than any
one in the world has ever done be
fore is "not really unpleasant" if you
take the word of Tex Rankin, Port
land aviator, who did it yesterday.
Although the spark plugs in one of
the four cylinders of his plane foul
ed and that cylinder . quit when he
was half through the performance,
Rankin made 84 tries, out of which
Lthe contest committee allowed ' him
19 complete loops.' The previous
record, made at the ' Cleveland air
races last year, was 13 attempts.
An outside loop is a loop with the
pilot on the rim of the circle and
the landing gear of the plane toward
the center. It must be started with
a dive and ended with a climb just
the reverse of the common loop.
Rankin started stunting at 5000
feet and dove 2000 or 2500 feet be
fore starting back up.
"At the bottom of the dive," Tex
admitted, after he had climbed out of
te plane on his own landing field,
"the centrifugal pressure was pretty
sWong and I felt it all right, but it
wasn't really unpleasant. I intended
to make about 50 loops, but the en
gine got to balking so I couldn't get
my altitude back. I don't see why
outside loops have been held out as
such a great stunt. It's pretty hard
on the ship, of course, but it wasn't
really dangerous."
"Wouldn't it" have been just too
bad," he was asked, "if your safety
belt had let go?"
"Oh no," he answered quickly. "I
wore a parachute. I wouldn't do a
stunt like that without a 'chute'' -as
if wearing a 'chute were the very
epitome of caution.
Tex made his record performance
in a little Great Lakes plane with an
air-cooled 85-horsepower motor. The
loops were made over the . Swan
island airport.
