Phone 3271 BANCROFT HILL IS CONQUERED BY BUICK (Portland Journal.) Bancroft hill, much feared by auto moblllsts, was again conquored by an automobile Thursday when tho Buick 30, piloted by Norman De Vaux, climbed the hill four tlmos, the first timo with ono passengor, tho second with throe psjeengers, tho third timo with four ad the fourth timo with fivo passengers. This boats all rec ords yet made and tho Bulck now holds tho record for tho hill. Ever slnco tho Cadillac two weeks ago made the ascension of'a bill hith erto considered Impossible Bancroft hill has been tho raecea for all the dealers of th0 city, and machlno after machine has boon out thore to try tho 3)111. Tho Bulck wns ono of them and yBtorday did as Its owners hnd an ticipated, climbing tho hill without a hitch and oaully carrying fivo pas Bongors up ns woll as making tho as cent with 0110 passonger. Tho surfaco of tho hill yesterday was much tho same as lt was tho day tho Cadillac mado Us first climb of tho hill, Tho ground was soft and sllppory nnd a very bad timo for such nn attorapt. This did not doter the owners of tho Bulck, F. W. Voglor and Norman Dp Vaux, howovor, and they detqrmncd to mako tho climb then or not at all. Tho first attempt mado by Mr, Do Vaux with tho car was mado without chains on tho rear tires. This result ed In the machlno sticking in tho deep mud at tho top, although tho 'end of th0 steep grade wns only a few foot away. Going back to the bottom again tho machlno was fitted with tiro chains and this timo climb ed tho hill as easily as If It wor Jonly an ovcry day occurrence for tho Httlo car. Thoro was no ono In tho car with Mr. D Vaux on this at tempt. Tho third attompt was mado with two passengers In tho tonnoau and It, too, was successful. In fact, It Boemod as though tho car climbed better with thrco passongore than lt did unloaded. Tho fourth attompt was mado with four passongors and tho car again climbed the grado. Tho fifth timo tho machine was &ont against tho hill five passongers, n full load, was in tho car. While tho Buick car gained a sig nal vlotory In its performance of Thursday, yot lt Is a general victory for tho automobile. Bancroft hill has now boon cllmbod by tliroo cam, tho Bulck, tho Cadillac (both 30 horso power cars), and tho Studobakor 40. Both tho Cadillac and tho Buiok are low priced cars. Several other cars will likely ho pitted against the hill .within n fow days in order to Join In Li. 1 EMPLOYMENT AND tVro BUSINESS CHANCES ?or sale Span of horses, "narnes and wagon; will sell one or both cheap for cashh, or will tako half half and balance with bankable note.
