FLAYS PIERCE IN whether he favors a Columbia valley authority by which the comparatively oxpenslve Grand Coulee project power would be tied Into cheaper Bonne ville power. 4 PORTLAND, Feb. 2. (AP) Con gressman V'alter M. Pierce probably never received such a scorching tele gram from a constituent In eastern Oregon as he had today from Mayor Joseph K. Carson of Portland. Admittedly "burned up," Carson sent Pierce a long telegram yester day which contained a barrage of quostlons dealing with the Bonneville power situation. Carson was Irritated by reputed In tlmatlons by Pierce In a conference with President Roosevelt, that Port' land Is trying to "hog" power output from the Bonneville dam. "There la no provincialism on the part of our people; Carson wired, "and wo resent any Imputation of that character." "people In most of the Inland em pire.' he continued, "know the stand I have taken and I know our people are heartily In favor of every co operation on the part of Portland to aid "the upstate In every way pos sible." Among things Mayor Carson wanted to know from Congressman Pierce Is 5f Bv Cvrll Sander The 1035 Bulck models have not changed their general lines this year but Instead have worked on. and Im proved their engineering features. One feature which la quite outstand ing Is the new and Improved braking system. This year's brakes have case Iron brake drums which are finned for better cooling, and they are oper ated by a vacuum power unit which lessens the amount of pressure which Is needed to stop the car and which also tends to equalize the action on all four wheels. This year's cars have retained Knee-Action. No-Draft ven tilation, automatic choke and also their ride stabilizer which decreases side-sway when making turns. This feature la a real comfortln a country like southern Oregon which abounds In mountain roads. t The body on the new Dodge Is something which certainly cannot be overlooked. This year's bodies are all steel, that Is. the frame, the doors. the body panels, the floor, the brac ings, the roof bows, and the cowl are all steel, and It in stated that It ts especially strong because the body Is now mounted around the frame In stead of being mounted on top of It. This new method of mounting Is sup posed to make both the body and frame more rigid and safe than they have ever been before. The body also has an abundance of leg room In both front and rear seats. The new car has also "Finger-tip" steering and "Feather-pressure" clutch which real ly are great Improvements over any thing Dodge has ever had before. E OF 3C A RECORD PORTLAND, Feb. 2.

The advance In butter comes as the result of continued strength In the trade at other points and with an In adequate supply offered elsewhere Locally the make remained season ably liberal which means that pro ducers of butterfat were cashing In on a bullish market such as never previously seen here. 4 Cal lie Rate Cut Upheld CHICAGO.

In this newest ship ment was a four-door touring sedan, the flrBt we have teen. This Is mere ly a four-door sedan with a bullt-ln trunk at the rear, and 1 believe that it Is really worth the extra money you would pay for It, especially If you do much traveling. It has decreased the leg room a little but the rear seat is even easier to enter and leave than It was before. The trunk has an excep tional amount of room In it and it Is very easy to get at. Last week we stated that some sta tistics on foreign cars would be here but as yet It has not arrived so we hope you will be patient for a while yet and we are sure we will have something for you In the near future. 4- ROGUE RIVER.
