There are three processes in civili
zation, one is to dig, the next is to
manuiacture, and the third is to
carry. Concerning the third, horses
first furnished the power to carry.
Today we have discarded the horse
and the locomotive, the steamboat, and
the automobile do our lugging. Things
are brought from the farthest corners
of the world and laid at our feet.
Railroads carry a man a mile for three
cents and in most states for two, they
carry a ton of freight one mile for
one cent and a half. This is all that
they have to sell transportation.

jears before but bfing a patent at
torney, he delayed the final issuance
of the patent for sixteen or seventeen
years until automobiles were better
developed. Henry Ford led the fight
against him and spent a quarter of a
million dollars before the patent was
knocked out. Most companies paid
the small tribute to escape the courts.
"Licensed under the Selden patent"

The word automobile come from
the Greek, Auto, meaning self, and
the Latin, Mobilis, meaning move
able, hence a self-propelling machine.
Garage comes from the French mean
ing a repository for automobiles.

the name of Panhard were in the
wood-working machinery business and
Levassor named the first car after
Panhard. Levassor was the man who
devised the transmission now used in
every car, who placed the engine in
front, who ran the axle and crank
shaft parallel to the side members of
the frame. He was never known,
however, as the real developer of the
automobile. Daimled did not get the
credit either, for a French agent wish

customers by running the engine in

SECRETARY, Morrow County Fair
. HEPPNER, OREGON
this man's name is Mr. A. B. Bowker.
Mr. Bowker started in business
where the Jack Rabbit Garage is at
the present time. He was well pre
pared to start the business, all except
the monetary part. He had been in
Portland and worked in an automobile
shop, starting in by doing anything
that they cared to trust him with.
He didn't watch the clock and gradu
ally mastered the intricacies 'of the
profession. The first thing that he
had to do was to educate the people
to the advantages of the automobile. 1
The next thing was to sell the car. 1
Of course there were people wht
stood on the corners and said that the
machine wouldn't go. Every new
thing to fight for dear life, every
departure from the established cus
tom is greeted with an Anvil chorus
of condemnation and disaDDroval.
Now we know that automobiles are
practical and the remarks now are to
the effect that we thought so all of
the time.
I happened in the office of Mr.
Bowker's a short time ago. He has
the only fireproof garage in the coun
ty, which is to say, one of the few in
Eastern Oregon. In the office I saw
every convenience for accuracy and
speed. Office work is always on the
side of expense and the problem ir.
business today is to cut down expense.
I saw one of the latest National
Registers which accomodates fou.
:lerks; a Burroughs Adding machine
they stand in the adding machine
business for what the word Sterling
does in the Bilver world. There was
an automatic check machine thai
makes check raising a thing of his
toryj of course I found a typewriter
a telephone and other modern fixtures
that make office work a pleasure..
The main building is 44x100 feet
built of brick with an imposing front.
It has a cement floor and the rear is
partitioned off for the repair part.
It will accomodate thirty cars and the
space is always occupied. Gas, water
and air are at the curb and also in
side. You might get an idea of the
amount of business done when you
consider that fifteen hundred to two
thousand gallons of gasoline are sold
weekly. Cylinder oils are in tanks
with handy force pumps. Every
thing is out in the light and there are
no dark cellars to stumble through or
overhead garrets to climb through
Cars are stored for reasonable rates
and the garage being lighted by elec
tricity, it is handy .to come or go at
any time of night.
A complete vulcanizing plant cares
for tire trouble. Incidentally a com
plete stock of tires and tubes is al
ways kept on hand. While in the shop
I saw a tire vulcanized in twenty
minutes and the man was on the road
again. Quick repairing is one of Mr.
Bowker's hobbies. Everything that
i goes to make up a complete repair
jshop can be found here. A motor is
used to compress air, another to run
, a drill press, and emery stand and a
'new Monarch lathe, which I was told
I cost $450. I also saw a Ford motor
taken from the car, hung on a move
able crane, the cylinders re-ground and
replaced In the car, all in a few minu
tes. In the rear of the main build
ing is a complete blacksmith shop.
There is a special furnace for springs.
To weld and temper springs requires
the work of an expert. Mr. Bowker,
employs an expert workman, Micheal
Szepanek, who learned the trade in !
the East and knows all that is worth
I knowing about springs. The main
difference between a wheelbarrow and
an automobile is in the springs.
In another building he stores his
oils and greases. As I looked at the
stock it reminded me of John Dee's
stock at Whiting, Indiana. He also
told me that he had another ware
house near the O.-W. R. & N. tracks
which stored the main supply of his
nils and greases.
Four men attend to the repair busi
ness. Calls are answered for help in
the country and in the nearby towns.
A regular bus business is carried on
and at your service at all times. The
new over-night telephone service will
always be answered at the Heppncr
Garage a one man sleeps there, that
is, when the rest of us will let him.
Ford, Overland and Mitchell cart
are handled by Mr. Bowker. I noted
a complete supply of accessories for'
cart, including the new shock absor
bera for Fords. I have been inform
ed that Mr. Bowker has sold neerl
fifty cars in his stay here. Mont of ,
these have been purchased by farm
ers. !
When the lists are made again com
piling the great inventions of the
world, who would 1 surprised to see j
automobiles included? Not long ago I i

mate who had been preaching in a
