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
