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.

Portland. April 21. 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. A special delegation of
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
representatives of commercial bodies
including the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, mayors of cities
and many people of note in the busi
ness and railway world.
Portland and Astoria will partici
pate by sending special steamers, the
former to Lewiston and return and
latter to Big Eddy and The Dalles
and return. White Salmon, Wash.,
will send a special boat to Big Eddy,
The Dalles and return, and the people
of Umatilla county will send a special
boat from Umatilla to Big Eddy and
The Dalles. Lewiston, Pasco, Ken
newick, Walla Walla and their neigh
boring cities will participate with
steamboats making the trip from
Lewiston down, while special train
service will bear many thousands of
people from Spokane and Inland Em
pire points. Seattle, Tacoma, Port
land, and the cities of the Willamette
Valley to participate at various cele
bration centers. Arlington, Oregon,
will celebrate on May 4th and 5th.
Altogether, the movements to and
engineers will make the trip to the
Celilo Canal to inspect the character
of construction, with a view to com
piling a report to be published in the
engineering journals.
The opening of the Wilamette
locks, the forenoon of May 6th, will
be under the auspices of the Oregon
City Commercial Club, assisted by
delegations from the Willamette Val
ley. Portland will give a great cele
bration in the afternoon and evening
of May 6th, w hile Astoria will enter
tain the Columbia and Snake River
Waterways Association, May 7th and
Sth. Vancouver, Wash., will cele
brate during the forenoon of May
7th.
Sound of Liberty Hell is Preserved.
"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.
