Oregon Automobile Registrations Show Prosperous Conditions in State Over $1,250,000 Invested in 1914 Cars.
M EARLY every make of automobile
and commercial car is now record
ed by the Secretary of the State
of Oregon in the automobilo ownership
list, which range in numbers from
3,688 Fords to one Xapier. On June
30th the total registration reached 14,
629, as compared with 13,954 for 1913
and 10,165 for 1912, each for tho full
year. A low estimate for 1914 is 17,
500. This means that the automobile
assessment rolls of the state will aggre
gate $6,125,000 on March 1st, 1915, al
lowing the average assessment of $350
for each car; while based upon the low
average purchase price of $7Q0, we get
tho enormous figure of $12,500,000.
We need only examine the 1914 busi
ness for au indication of prosperity.
Approximately 1,800 1914 models have
been registered, and at the manufac
turers' listed prices aggregate about $1,
250,000. Every County Bepresented.
Every county in tho state has liberal
representation, from nine in Curry to
5,895 in Multnomah. The following is
a complete county classification, taken
from ' the Automobile Kecord. This
statement includes transfers from one
owner to another and of licenses from
car to car, and is therefore slightly in
excess of the actual number, but this is
equally distributed. On the other hand,
there are a large number of cars
throughout the state carrying no license.

Omitting from this classification
Multnomah county, with 5,895 and
Marion county, with its 1,107, wehave
8,603 cars in the farming and stock
raising belts of Oregon, and probably
2,000 cars owned by suburbanites in
these two counties. By actual count of
several hundred of the May and June
registrations, 60 per cent of addresses
fall outside of Marion and Multnomah
counties, thus indicating that it is the
farmer of Oregon who is now riding in
his automobile.
j We are indebted to Mr. M. O. Wilkins
for the figures which are the basis of
this article. He publishes the Auto
mobile Eecordj which is issued monthly,
and makes a complete automobile own
ers' directory. This directory, contains
a numerical index enabling you to
locate any owner from the license num
ber, indicates new cars, gives each,
county separately and alphabetically
and much other valuable data for the
automobile owner and tradesman.
When the residents'of St. Louis have unexpected guests and look hope
fully in the family ice box to find it empty, they do not rash down to the
corner delicatessen store for ham and cheese and potato salad and dill pickles.
They return to the parlor and calmly wait until the delicatessen, store comes
to them. For St. Louis has a traveling delicatessen store. It is a 7,000-poun 1
triick equipped with a raither unusual body. The proprietor of this first-aid-to-the
perplexed-house vehicle says as money maker it has a staple corner site beat
several city blocks.

HAND-CONTROLLED DRIVE FOB
AUTOMOBILES.
TO MAKE it possible for persons
who have lost theirlegs or whose
lower limbs are disabled through
accident or disease, to operate an auto
mobile properly, a hand-controlled drive
has been designed whereby the usual
operations of transmission, clutch and
reverse may be accomplished by the
hands instead of by the foot levers
provided on most cars. The device is
constructed of aluminum, aud consists
of three levers and a frame attached
to the steering column. From these
lovers three Bteel rods pass through
the dash to bell cranks under the hood.
The movements of the latter are com
municated beneath the floor to the
transmission case. The levers are self
locking in any position, and return to
normal when released by a slight pres
sure of the fingers. But little effort is
required to move them, and one hand
is always free for the steering wheel.
The new device does not interfere with
the pedal action, and a car so equipped
may bo driven by another person in
the ordinary manner without touching
the hand control. The device may be
attached to any ear. Popular Me
chanics. SUGAR CANES PROHIBITED.
The importation from foreign coun
tries, Hawaii and Porto Bfco of living
sugar cants, cuttings or parts of the
cane has been prohibited by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture under au
thority given it by the Plant Quaran
tine Act. This action has been made
necessary by the discovery that these
c:nes are likely to be infected with in
sect pests and fungus diseases from
which the United States is fortunately
free.
