FOLDER ANNOUNCEMENT
ISSUED DY CLUB
Announcing Monday night's meeting,
a folder, on the front page of which was
a picture of Mount Hood, was issued
by the Commercial cluli. lttlow are
given extracts from the booklet as
compiled by Secretary Horace J.
Kau (Titian :
The Governors' Special.
This now famous train, made up of
product of the nine Status of the
Northwest and the Pacific Coast, and
carrying with it the Governors of these
respective states, for a tour of the
Middle West and the East, included an
exhibit from Hood Hiver, assembled by
the Hood Kiver Commercial Club, of
twenty quarter boxes of apples of Hix
different varieties. The following let
ter explains itself:
State of Oregon,
Executive Department,
Salem.
February 1, 1912.
Mr. Horace (i. haufnnan.
Kec'y Hood Hiver Commercial Club,
Hood Kiver. Oregon.
Dear Sir: lam in receipt of yours
of the 24th inst., in which you usk for
information regarding the Hood Itiver
Valley fruit display aboard the West
ern Governors' Special, and in reply
wish to say that I believe the Hood
Kiver district received more advertis
ing than any other section of the West.
Your fruit exhibit was a good one and
welt maiked and displayed. The ex
tensive and systematic advertising you
have been doing the past few years is,
like your trees, bearing good fruit.
Hood Kiver is a name that appears
to be familiar to most every one
throughout the Kast especially those
interested in fruit growing.
While discussing this matter, 1 wish
to say that having established an envi
able reputation for the production of
the best fruits you should look to it
that this reputation is maintained.
This can only be (lone through hewing
to the lino in the future, as you have
done in the past, and making the brand
"Hood Kiver" stand always for noth
ing but the best.
Yours truly,
(signed) Oswald West.
The Concluding Paragraph of Lincoln's
Inaugural Address.
I am loath to close. We are not ene
mies, but friends. We must not be
enemies. Though passion may huve
strained, it must not break our bonds
of affection. The mystic chords of
memory, stretching from every battle
field and patriot grave to every living
heart and hearthstone all over this
broad land, will yet swell the chorus of
the Union, when again touched, as they
surely will be, by the better angels of
our nature.
At the recent convention in New
York City of the American Manufac
turers' Export association, a speaker
who had just made a 88,000 mile trip
said: "In all the countries I visited
the greatest trade growth is to come
from those bordering on the i'acitic
Ocean. We are in the best position to
go after this business, and it is there
for the asking." "The Outlook," Oc

Odell W ins First (lame.
In the first game of a series the
Odell basketball team, which was re
cently organized there, defeated the
Hood Kiver High School second team
by a large score -45 to 7. "Our boys
have developed into an exceptionally
good bunch," said W. S. Smith, who
has been coaching the Odell boys,
"despite the little practice they had."
Mr. Smith, who came hole from
Massachusetts, coached a school team
in New Hampshire one year. This
team won the championship of that
state. In Friday's game Albert Thorn
bury and A. Davis excelled in shooting
baskets, the former making 20 points
and the latter 14. "F.aeh player de

ALL 1912 Chalmers cars are equipped with a simple, re
liable and efficient self-starter, air pressure type.
Consider the convenience of the Chalmers self-starter. Sim
ply take your seat, set the spark and throttle for starting,
press the button with your foot and away you go.
Think what this means in bad weather. You don't
stand out in the rain or wade in the snow to crank your
car. You don't run the risk of a broken arm from a "kick
back." The Chalmers self-starter is an integral part of the car
built in the Chalmers factory and built into the Chalmers
motor at the same time the motor is constructed.
The Chalmers self-starter is of the air pressure type,
but it has Chalmers patented features which make it an im
provement over any other starter.
An owner of a self-starting Chalmers will tell you the
starter adds $500 to the value of his car.
Chalmers cars would be unique for value even without
self-starters. They are complete cars. Nothing is left out
which would make the car more efficient or convenient.
We urge that you consider the many desirable qualities
of these care.
Power and Flexibility
The long stroke motor of the Chalmers "Thirty-Six" (4 1-4 x
5 1-4) gives you all the power you need for any conditions, and yet
it does not uselessly burn gasoline. This motor is a faultless puller
in heavy going.
The carefully manufactured motor, together with the four for
ward speed transmission and the improved carburetor with dash ad
justment, gives a flexibility of control which brings praise from the
most experienced drivers.
Comfort
Chalmers cars are comfortable. We believe that there is not
any car, at any price, that is more comfortable for drivers and pass
engers than the Chalmers "Thirty-Six" at $1800. The long wheel
base, big wheels and 3Gx4 inch tires, double drop frame, 3-4 Elliptic
rear springs and luxurious upholstering insures the greatest of rid
ing ease.
Safety
t
The four main factors of safety in a motor car are: Frame,
wheels, steering connection and brakes. We ask that you compare
the Chalmers car with any other car built in these four particulars
and see if you can get greater strength and wearing qualities at any
price.
Reliability
Every principle of construction in the Chalmers cars has been
thoroughly proven in Chalmers cars of the past and. in other cars
that have made good. There is nothing new or untried in them.
We know that Chalmers cars are right. Behindach car is the re
cord of Chalmers cars in the past a record of satisfactory service
rendered to more than fifteen thousand owners.
Beauty of Line and Finish
Chalmers cars have the quality of beauty that is more than
paint deep. Every line is in harmony. It has the beauty, the sym
metry of design and construction. Chalmers cars are well fin
ished. The body of the "Thirty-Six" receives eighteen coats of
paint and varnish.
There are many other desirable features of the Chalmers cars
which you will note when you examine the cars themselves.
We ask that you call at our salesroom and critically inspect
these cars. We will be glad to give you a demonstration to help
you learn what great values they offer.

METHOD GIVEN FOR
MEASURING A RIVER
The I'nited States (leological Survey
frequently received letters iniiiiring
for some simple method of determin
ing the approximate flow of streams or
small rivets. It is believed that the
following instructions my he of some
value to those who Tor any reason wish
to determine the velocity or volume of
a stream.
To ascertain the velocity of the
stream choose a place where the chan
nel is straight for 1(H) to 2WI feet and
has nearly constant width and depth;
lay oir on the bank a line .10 or 100 feet
in length, marking each end; then
allow stiiiiil chips to flout down the
stream, by one of the methods de
scribed below, noting the time required
for these to traverse the distance laid
off on the bank. The surface velocity
in feet per second is obtained by di
viding the distance in feet passed over
by the float by the time in secunds it
I takes the float to travel this distance.
! '1 he average of several such deterniin
! atoms will give the mean surface
j velocity of the strewn. This result
multiplied by the coeflicient 0.80 gives
I very nearly the mean velocity of the
j stream.
I To obtain the area of the cross sec
i tion of the stream, stretch a tape from
' shore to shore and take the depth of
the stream at intervals of I to 5 feet.
The average of the depths may be
assumed as the mean depth of the
stream, ibis average multiplied by
the total width will give the area of
the cross section of the stream in
square feet.
The dbcharge is found by multiply
ing this cross-section area by the mean
velocity, as obtained by the Hoat
measurements, the result giving the
discharge in second-feet, or, in other
words, the number of cubic feet (low
ing past the point of measurement
each second.
In determining the velocity for small
streams and when only approximate
results are desired the float is placed
in the center of the stream only. For
larger streams and when greater ac
curacy is desired a tape is stretched
across the stream and the distance
between the banks is divided into a
number of equal spaces or sections.
Floats ate then allowed to drift down
the stream us near as possible in the
center of each of these spaces, the
same number of floats being used for
each section. The mean surface veloc
ity is then assumed to be the mean of
the surface velocities obtained for the
several sections. For each float the
distance of its starting point from the
right bank is recorded as indicated.

your

all done here and you will be as
ell pleased as our other customers
are. We mke horseshoeing a bus
