DETAILS Of GREATGELE UHCOMPLETE Advertising Will Pay You If You Use The G.-T. THE TWKI.VK CYIilXOKK OAK IS NOW A POSSIBILITY. With the eight cylinder car barely introduced, automobile manufactur ers are now talking of the 12-cylinder car, one maker having already thrown out the hint that "if the pub lic demanded a 12-cylinder car," his company was prepared to make it. There were 14 eight-cylinder cars ex hibited at the automobile show held in Chicago In January, 1915, but so far as is known there is only one 12 cylinder model in existence, and that is a British racing car. Just whether the advantages to be derived from the use of 12-cylinder engines will com pensate for the increased complexity of the mechanism is a thing that can be determined only by experience.

Details of the great series of celebrations during the week of Mav 3-S in commemorat ing the opening of The halU-s-Celilo Canal and the transfer of the Willam ette locks to the U. S. Government for free operation, are practically com plete. The committees of arrangements at various points have prepared pro grams of peculiar interest, and the indications are that the attendance will outclass anything of a celebra tion character ever seen in the North west. In addition to the local at tendance at each point there will be large delegations of visitors from all sections of the United States and from various points of the Columbia basin and the northwest. In the ranks of the visitors will be official representatives of the Congress of the United States, representatives of the army and navy, United States Sena tors and Congressmen, the governors fro will be unique in the history of river and rail transportation in the northwest, and the direction of trains and fleets is taxing the ingenuity of railway and steamboat men alike. Details are being carefully worked out, however, and assurance is given the public that tlieir needs will be met fully. Men of prominence will be heard in addresses at all points. Band; galore and entertainment features will be given that will make the week one of rare enjoyment. Nor will the cold business aspects of the occasion be overlooked, for recognition will bs given to good roads construction and the necessity of wharves to meet the requirements of the open river. At Maryhill and Goldendale, Wash., highway enthusiasts will gather, and a careful study will be made of the most modern types of road construc tion, opportunity will be given the congressional delegation and other experts to study the rivers at close range with a view to their future de velopment.

"What may prove to be the last ringing of the historic Liberty Bell took place at Independence Hall at Philadelphia recently," sayr, the May Popular Mechanics Magazine, in an illustrated article. "Instead of sending the bell to the Panama-Pacific Exposition, it was de cided to transmit its tones across the country to San Francisco over the recently completed transcontinental telephone line, partly fulfilling in a literal sense, the prophetic words cast on the bell, "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof.' The bell was struck three times with mallets at in tervals of five seconds. By an ar rangements of three very sensitive transmitters which were suspended beneath it on rubber bands, so as to exclude all foreign vibrations, the tones were caught and clearly heard over the telephone wires on the Pa cific coast. At the same time a plion ograuhic record was made of the notes so as to preserve them for posterity." It Is Not a Joke. To my many patrons it may have occurred that my request for CASH is a joke. It is not. I am compelled to pay cash for my stuff; am getting government inspected beef from Port land and It is cash for every ship ment. I certainly appreciate the splendid trade you have given me and am trying my best to accommodate you. Our Interests are mutual, but please do not ask for credit at the People's Cash Market.
