A FEW TIRE ECON
OMY SUGGESTIONS
(By the Heights Garage)
Over ?225.iX.Ism will be wasted by
motorists this year due to ignorance
and negligence in the care ar.J use of
tires, is the conservative estimate of
dealing authorities based on country
wide Service of over So.ooi.UHX) tirc9.
Some valuable hints on caring for
tires are offered by the dates kubbef
Company, of Denver, w ho are behind a
more mileage campaign for tire users.
Slamming on the brakes is perhaps
responsible fir more tire trouble tha 1
all else. The motorist should alway-i
apply his brakes gently for every time
they are jammed on they lock th-; ;
wheels and run up tire bills. Such a
practice is useless for it does not im
mediately halt the car; the niotnentuin !
and weight often cause the rear wheels
to elide along for a considerable dis
tance and gouge off the tread rubber.
However, if the damage has not been

W ith local motive
nt to hard!
naileries ot motor
land and other neighboring cities were
attracted here by the possibility of
revenue. It js estimated that between
' Hrul "' niotor trucks were here for
apple harvest, and their drivers earned
a handsome revenue for their work.
An average price of five cents, before
the full rai.ig benan. was charged for
delivering apples to the city from
Lower Valley districts. As the slope
h toward tie city from the orchards
a'd no grades are encountered, the
truckmen were prone to load to double
their listed capacity. Thus a ton truck
would haul Si) boxes of apples hi a
trip. Three and four trips daily could
be negotiated, the truck driver' draw,
mg du.n $12 and lti for his work. In
many instances the truck men were
able to carry return loads of box
shooks, wrapping paper or other sup
plies back to the orchards. Many of
tl.e larger trucks not only carried
loads in excess of their listed capacity,
but each hauled a heavy trailer with a
burden almost equal to that of the
truck body. Following the steady rains
that normally prevail over the mid-Columbia
at the close of apple harvest,
truckers increased their per box charge
from the Lower Valley to six cents.
The charge was increased as the motor
truck was forced to proceed to the
higher altitudes for freight.
Following the heavy rains, the pro
portion of fruit being; 'transported by
gasoline power has been on the de
crease. Action of county authorities
in invoking a law adopted by the last
legislature has materially effected mo
tor truck hauling. This law, providing
that no motor truck shall carry a bur
den in excess of its rated capacity nor
in any instance more than (U0 pounds
for each inch width of tire measure
ment, has cut the burden of motor
trucks in half. It has aroused loud
complaints from fruitgrowers who de
clare that it w ill double their cost of
moving fruit from orchards to shipping
point. Other citizens, however, take
the stand that it is as well or better to
pay the added expense in hauling ap
ples instead of having to provide addi
tional taxes for road improvement.
The season's apple harvest, just as
surely as it has demonstrated that the
age is one of gasoline, has also pointed
out that the soft dirt road is the an
tithesis of the heavily burdened motor
truck. Whether trucks are to carry
their rated capacity or greater bur
dens, orchardists have been made to
realize that the Hood Hiver valley
must have some hard.-urface highways.
As winter progresses the Hood River
highways, already in many spots
turned to quagmires, this idea of bet
ti-r roads is going to bubble more mer
rily in the think-pots of ranchers and
fruitgrowers.
Automobile dealers lost a golden op
portunity for sale of motor trucks this
fall by failure to have a supply on
hand. They sold all available machines
11I out the time harvest was begun, but
tne influx of out of town motor truck
men demoralized further business. As
it was a total of tiO motor trucks were
sold to orchard ists the past year.
1 More than halt' of them were ot ton
capacity, sold to owners of smaller
orchard tracts. Year before last Hood
River had an epidemic of converting
old passenger cars to trucks by adding
to the chassis one or the other of the
rear axle attachments on the market.
A great many f the": oiiverted
trucks have proved their worth and
have hauled a hi vy : .ina " of apples
i this fall.
I It may be added in passing that not
or Iv does gasoline play a part in apple
1 production in furnishing motive power
i for transportation. The Hoed River f
valley has an estimated Slid power j
sp, living machines, driven by gasoline j A , labeled "extra fancy Grimes

I shipping concern operates six motor
! trucks and the apples are hauled on
! these from orchards to the big com
I munity packiniJ plant,
j The motor truck adapts itself even
more particularly to strawberry ranch
: irg than to apple growing. Growers
j owning- any acreage of beriies at all
j find it almost a necessity now to own a
j motor truck of small tonnage. Straw
berries must be rushed from the field
to storage plant. Each day's harvest
must lave that day. With a niotor
truck the grower finds that he can
easily accomplish this. With trucks
hauling in most of the fruit last
soring, the shipping of the fruit was
greatly facilitated. In former years
horsedraw n vehicles were arriving at
shq ping points late at night, but with
the m ire modern means of hauling em
ployed the berries arrived in the early
e zoning and are loaded out in refiger-
a:or express cars for immediate ship-1
melt. j
Japanese, who seem to take natur
ally to the strawberry business and
w ho furnish the major portion of the
Hood River valley berry tonnage, have
been heavy purchasers of motor trucks
the past season. The Orientals ute the
small cars both for freight and passen
ger service, business and pleasure was
almost the term used, but when a Jap
anese burns gasoline you may be sure
there is as much business at least as
there is pleasure about the journey.
The so-called commercial car, or ord-1
inary passenger chassis equippd with i
truck body but with pneumatic tires,
seems especially popular with orchard
ists. The car can be used for the town
shopping the year around, currying
small fieight and passengers. It is
also capable of hauling a heavy ton
nage of apples. The E. A. Franz Co.,
handling the Oldsmobile here, expects
unprecedented demands for such ve
hicles next spring. A permanently es-
! tablished rural express system has
been established here, using this type
j of car. The two cars of the concern
i are kept continually busy hauling small
! freight to and from all parts of the
j valley. One of them is used in trans
I porting students of the Fine Grove dis
I trii't who attend the local high school.
The casual consumer of Northwest
jern boxed apples would probably never
I think of gasoline as having anything to
! do with its production. Yet it is nev
j erlhelii.-s true that, provide a gasoline
I fi mine were to strike the country, a
! largo percentage of the apples would
j be wormy, as a result of idle power
j s ravers, and it would be impossible to
; market the full tonnage for lack of

I diiiiviging freezes set in. The gasoline

under the rubber.
Then driving with under inflated or
deflated tires are two inexcusable j
faults that shorten the life of many 1
tires. One can secure a table that
shows the carrying capacities and in
tlation pressures that should be in all
sizes of tires, at most any service sta '
tion. As for a deflated tire, it should
always be removed. It is far less ex-:
pensive to come in on the rim.
Driving in ruts or street car tracks j
is equally hard on tires. Such care-,
lessness wears the casings down to the ;
fabric in a lii e following tire cireum- j
ference. j
The careful motorist never drives i
with tight chains. Chains properly 1
put on are loose so that they can work '
about. If this is done the cross chains
will not strike the same 8ot in the
tire each revolution and the wear will
be more evenly distributed.
The old adage "a stitch in time
saves nine" certainly applies to a tire
cut. Although it is often impossilble
and impractical to immediately attend
to a tire, the thrifty motorist makes I
it a rule to repair his casings at the i
earliest possible moment, before the
neglected cuts result in blisters. '
the too general practice of bumping !
into the curh when parking results in'
blisters. This seldom affects the ex
terior of the tire, but the tube be
comes overheated by friction from the
j broken carcass and a blowout is inevit- i
I able.
The best tires won't do better than 1
1.UIKKI miles if the wheels are out of 1
line and do not run parallel. Jt is like '
holding tires to a grindstone. Especi
ally after taking a jolting trip over;
hard roads wheels should be tested for 1
alignment. The test takes but a min-1
ute and adds mileage to tires. j

tact with oil and grease. Oil is one of !
the greatest enemies ot rubber. With-!

A Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New Year
While a great part of the World has been troubled and worried
the past year, as it slowed down production, none of this element of
unrest has been noted in the Hood River Valley. Hood River people
have all been busy and therefore happy.
We have received our share of the world's goods, merited because
of our ceaseless efforts to keep the wheels of progress turning.
For all these reasons and many more, the people of Hood River
deserve a Merry Christmas and prosperity and happiness for 1920.

KEEP HIGHWAY
OPEN SAYS ROGERS
Homer A. Rogers, here last week
from l'ortland where he is spending
the winter, seeks to renew agita
tion that will prevent the Columbia
Highway from being doted to travel
when paving operations are resumed
next year. Mr. Rogers points out that
the Highway between l'ortland and
! Astoria was open at all times. The
t losing of the road here last summer,
j Mr. Rogers declares, resulted in a
heavy loss of business to himself and
l to all local businessfolk.
I Mr. Rogers hopes to secure some
j concerted action on the part of local
, people, which, he declares, will cause
I the contractors to keep the road open.

the district's heavy apple tonnage has
aided lloner Valley potato growers in i
solving a transportation problem. With
a car shortage on about seven carloads
of potatoes from the banner district

transportation of the potatoes by rail.
Once upon a time, it seems the dim far

number opposed the Columbia High

funds on a road that would benefit only
the city man seeking recreation. The
transportation of dozens of truck loads

is thoroughly acquainted with the Ford mechanism and who knows the Ford way
to adjust or repair your c?r, can tune it up in a frarajre that is properly equipped
to ujve real Ford service. Then, too, we never use imitation parts - only the
Genuine Ford-made, strong and durable. They wear from thirty to seventy

made. In fact, it is dangerous to human life to use imitation parts, and it is not
fair to your Ford car or your pocket hook.
We are a part of the gigantic Ford Service organization whose purpose
it is to serve the owners of all Ford cars and trucks ; we have more than a pass
