Performance
the Greatest Oakland Virtue
The owner of an Oakland Sensible Si never fears to
put his car in competition with another.
He knows that the car he drives is equal to any demand
he may put upon it that performance is its greatest '
virtue.
The high-speed overhead-valve engine of this Oakland
Sensible Six delivers at 2600 r. p. m. one full horse
power to every 48 pounds of car weight.
No motor in the world carries less weight pet horse,
power than this none is spryer, more efficient more
saving.
With a speed range of from 1 to 55 miles an hour and
-trigger-quick acceleration, it is still very economical.
It delivers from 18 to 25 miles on every gallon of gaso
line, and its even power draws the greatest possible mile
. age from the Oakland's oversize tires.
We know you will like this new Oakland-for its com
fort, its abthty and its value. The price is 1200.

IN NEW PORT DISTRICT
Harold A. Rands, Engineer, Is Mak
tag Survey For Port of Portland
. and River Transportation Will
Be Encouraged.
Heppner is included in one of the
many new port districts comlnir un.
der the jurisdiction of the Port of
Portland. Although it has not been
fully decided, should a port district
be organized here, the district would
embrace all territory in Morrow
county.
Harold A. Rands, traffic survey en
gineer for the Port nf PnrHnnH r.
mission was in Heppner the last of
ine ween. He says districts will prob
ably be formed wherever nmptiooi
and where the people of the district
are inclined to co-operate with the
ron or Portland.
Under the Dlan which th Vnr-t nt
Portland operates, river shinning
will be stimulated and freieht
will be materially decreased. Mr.
Rand said that Heppner and that
part of Morrow county tributary tn
Willow creek is ideally siuated for
uie use or a dock to be located some
where on th Columbia rivAr near th.
mouth of Willow creek. The com
pletion of the Columbia highway
down Willow creek will erivn tho far
mers and other shippers of freight, a
natural grade to the river. Mr. Rand
incidentally pointed out what t.ha iiho
or auto trucks operating on this high,
way would mean to the shlnnnr
Docks will be established along the
river for every district and Mr.
Rand's work Includes surveys on the
Washington side of the river aa wnll
as the Oregon side. His work, how
ever, is only preliminary to the work
ing out of a complete system of docks
along the river from Portland tn
Lewiston, Idaho. .

it strikes the now noted "Hot-Spot" where it is heated and
