WEBER Bell Building Of all the tires that are made, why do you suppose we prefer to sell United States Tires? Because they are made by the biggest rubber company in the world. And they know how to build good tires. They have choice of ma terials, they have immense facilities, they employ monj exclusive methods. They can go to greate: lengths in testing, improvinj and perfecting the things tha make good tires. We find it good business t sell United StatesTires. And you will find it goo business to buy them. The: are here-a tire for every neec frum a vacation spi-nt in the Crescent Lake and Huod Canal region. "Our party ferried from Fort Angeles across to Vancouver and vis.tej the pleasant r.ooks there and saw some if the Brit ish Columbia roads. They are fine." Mr. Bianchar says that he was im pressed while in the Canadian prov inces at the interest the citizens there were takirg in the agitation against the high cot-t uf living in this country. '"While prices seem a little higher acroes the border than thev are here," says Mr. Planchar, "the Canadians do ni.t svem to luok fot much relief from their uwn government. However, they think that anything accomplished in the tinted States to bring down the high cut of living will have an imme diate beneficial effect for them.' "'We visited Aberdeen and made the trip through the Olympics along Hood Canal stopping one night at trie Ant-, lers Hotel on Lake Cushman, once a lieautiful place similar to our Ixo-t Lake in size and surroundings. The large timber has been recently cut and tires left a blackened waste which it , w ill take years to efface. We should ! jealously guard our Lost Lake against any such misfortune. Lake Crescent, twenty miles west of I'ort Angeles is the mecca of all tour-: ists. It is about la miles long and two miles wide and is provided w ith good hotels and splendid camping grounds and is an ideal spot for a real outing. At 1'ort Angeles we crossed to Vic toria and after making the principal scenic trips to Vancouver Islands we again took the boat to Vancouver on the main land. Hoth cities are well worth seeing in my opinion, and how they do appreciate our money! An acquaintance readily cached my check for fifty dollars on the First National, Hood Kiver, paying me $52. TiO for it and assured me that he would profit by the transaction. Koads? Well, we found the usual variety, paved gravel and dirt, the latter usually rotten. The worst roads were really due, however, to detours caused by extensive paving work being done at this time. Our party were all wishing we had the good roads of Hood Kiver Valley to travel over instead of the many miles of worn out macadam in Washington. We took our time, however, and made the 12u0 mile trip without any tire truoble whatever. I was impressed with the general feeling of optimism anj apparent pros perity everywhere. Mr. and Mrs. H. 11. Larkin, formerly of Hood Kiver, are well established at Bellingham, Wash., and wnhed to he remembered to their many Hood Kiver friends.

Develops Tract To develop the Dubois timber tract and other holdings of the Kccles inter ests in Washington and Columbia coun ties, construction work has begun on :if miles of railroad extending into the tract from Wilkesboro, according to Charles T. Early, general manager of the Oregon Lumber Company. A cou tract for building the road has been let to the Utah Construction Company of Salt Lake City. VACATION NOTES "The Puget Sound country is a de lightful goal for the summer motor-ii-t." says E. O. Planchar, just back While reports, brought by a number of other motorists on the Portland-Astoria highway have not been flattering, K. H. Perigo, who is just back with his family from a tour of beach points, de clares that he found conditions fairly good. Mr. Perigo traveled out of Portland bv way of Newberg, McMinnville, Sheridan and Grand Kotide Indian res ervation to Tillamook, a distance of lhO miles from Hood Kiver. "We found the roads down through the Williimette valley and over the coast mountains to Tillamook in pretty much the same condition they are here in the Hood Kiver valley. Some spots were bi tter than others, of course, but all in all the going was better than we had expected. The oo miles up the coast to Astoria from Tillamook is as tine toad as anyone could ask for. We stopped at Cannon Peach for several Jays, lt is the best beach on the coast. Eight or nine Hood Kiver families have been there this summer. "We returned home by way of As toria. The distance to Portland is about KM) miles. We took an easy pace and spent seven hours en route. 1 had expected from some of the reports reaching us that we would hit trouble, but it seems that this route changes almost overnight. One day a motorist, may think the route is terrible because of miles of freshly spread crushed rock, w hlie the next this has all been rolled out smooth.

Sl.i,njvarol rvi i i ,v THE DEPENDABLE PASSENGER CAR A forty-year-old organization -the Kentucky Wagon Manufacturing Company-vouches for the dependability of the Dixie Flyer. This organization claims the Dixie to he a passenger car of exceptional value. It offers as evidence the num erous refinements of the car. many of which are lound only in automobiles selling at higher prices. We make this claim without intimation that the price of other cars is excessive. It is done merely to show that at the price, the Dixie Flyer ait'ords a splendid opportu nity to own an advanced car, and yet, one that even the man of moderate means can afford to buy and operate. The evidence presented tells a wonderful story of automobile goodness. A comparison, unit for unit, with cars selling at higher prices substantiates our claim that the Dixie is a car of rare value. We. alone, do not vouch for the dependability of the various units. They are manufactured by reliable concerns -they are recommended and approved by makers of auto mobiles which are listed at prices above that of the Dixie. How we can sell a car at the price, equipped with these tine units, is a part of another story. Here's the car, completely equipped, at $1535, Hood River. Make your comparison - judge the Dixie Flyer on its merits. WE CAN MAKE IMMEDIATE DELIVERIES GILBERT MOTOR CAR COMPANY HOOD RIVER, OREGON Motoring from Hood River to As toria is like going to Heaven," de clares Cecil LafTerty, local autombile fan who accompanied by Frank Gil I bert, returned last week from the i coast. "It is fine after vou get down where the cooling breezes blow, but it certainly tries the patience of the moat faithful in negotiating the bad roads encountered. "Hetween Portland and Astoria we ran into five paving plants. For miles the roads are covered with crushed rock, sharp-edged and death on tires. Unless you can alFord new tires before finishing the trip, it. behooves you to i drop into low gear and crawl, this going down, when we i home we Bhipped our car from to Portland. "It certainly was good sailing out up the Columbia River Highway from Portland, but at the Multnoinaii-llood Kiver county line we rHn into a blocked road. They held us until the noon hour, when the traffic jam there, with motoiists from all over swapping jams and telling of road experiences, was allowed to pass on.

IK ICR A SON, Piopriidor' A party of Astoria motorists, who have been touring since August ,'!, hnving visited British Columbia and Victoria, teturning here last week by way of the Snoqualmie Pass and North Yakmia, declare that the worst stretch of highway encountered in the entire trip was that between Sunnyside and Mabton, Wash. I "The condition is not going to last, however," says Richard Caruthers, member of the party, "for they are already at work on a new road "in the , Mabton section. The tourists have high praise for the roads of Victoria I Island and the British Columbia ; country. They toured the Georgian I Circle. The members of the party were: Mr. and Mrs. Richard Caruth ers and son, Eben, Mrs. W. E. Tallant land daughter, Miss Laura Elizabeth, i and Victor Crick. While here the As- toria people called on Mrs. Emma E. Epping and family. A party of men on a pleasure tour of 1 the Northwest passed through here Tuesday en route to Minneapolis from ' Portland by way of Salt Lake city. They had visited Yellowstone, but af ter a night ppent in camp at Eagle creek, they declared that the Columbia 1 Highway, with its enticing cliffs, river 1 views and cataracts, surpassed any scenic place they had visited. The members of the party were : Lewis L. Drill, former star baseball 1 player of the American league, of St. : Paul ; Judge H. S. Gilford, of Minneap olis, and Harry Drill, of Christobal, : Panama. ; The worst stretch of road that we , found between here and Sunnyside," says 0. W, Hoffman, superintendent ; of schools of the latter place, "was : the 10 miles between Lyle and White Salmon. The road has been cut full of i small ruts and is extremely dustv." ! Mr. Hoffman crossed the Columbia , from White Salmon for a visit with E. ' T. Robinson, local city school superin tendent, before proceeding with Mrs. I Hoffman and daughter to coast points Ion an outing. QUALITY CLOTHES In these times of hi;j,h prices, poor cloth and inferior workmanship, it is a great satisfaction to a man to know I hat he is getting something that is absolute ly rieht. That is why we are selling more clothes now than ever before. Men know that, the clothes we make are right and that we don't sell shoddy or cotton mixed cloth. You can buy cheaper clothes than we sell, but you can't. bu. good clothes at more reasonable prices than ours. Meyer & Wood UOTFL OREGON HLDG.
