Evorybody Bhould go to bnt In tlio
Interest of n country-wide, offlclont,
workable auto association. Each auto
owner, and each person who Is In
terested In tho construction of per
manent, hard-surfaced highways
throughout tho county, should con
sider hlmsolf or hersolf a pinch hit
tor, and go to bnt with determina
tion to deliver a hit that will bo ono
of tho many which nro going to ranko
tho Klamath county auto association,
tho llvest, most worth-whllo organi
sation In tho county today.
This association, has been given
a wondorful Impetus. It's on tho
way It's going. But tho popular
quory, "Where do wo go from here,"
will bo appllcablo In the caso of
this association, regardless of its
splondld start, unless tho peoplo, of
tho county got together In an organ
ization that positively cannot fall to
pieces and disintegrate, as many oth
er organizations, designed to Improro
public conditions, havo dono, simply
bocauso gcnoral, consistent, and per
manent support havo not been given
to them.
Is thoro anything this county needs
moro than good roads? Thoro Is
nothing, unless it Is harmony In tho
effort to dlsposo of the troublesome
courthouse- question, but that Is a
vmattcr of attttudo only, whllo tho
good roads question, or to bo moro
exact, tho bad roads question, Is ono
that partakes of practical, down-to-
buslncss properties, and it requires
concrcto action and lots of It at tho
right time. That is tho only kind of
action that will bring good roads
into this county, nnd tho auto asso
ciation, primarily, Is designed for
that purpose.
Tho association Is composed of
practical peoplo, who know that
practical action Is tho ono thing that
will glvo them a chanco to enjoy tho
less practical pleasure of motoring,
for motoring on good roads is never
arduous, nor unpleasant. It's a real
pleasure, no matter whether tho mo
torist is bound upon a matter of
business or enjoyment.
Thcro is another sldo to tho ques
tion. As has been said tlmo after
time, In the columns of this paper
and by Interested people, good roads
trill bring visitors here, and every
time a visitor appears, the business
of county profits In proportion to
the tlmo tho. visitor remains hero
and in proportion to tho mood ho
adopts after arriving hero and
traveling over our roads.
This is a matter In which every
good citizen should be interested.
Your name should be upon tho rolls
of the association as a member. More
than that, you should be an activo
member, for it is through activo mem
bers only that such associations func
tion correctly. The membership fco'
Is trifling compared with tho bono

F, F. Orlffith, of tho Ford dis
tributing agency of Portland, Is hero
on business with tho Dannor-Patty
Motor company, the exclusive Ford
agents for this city. This will be a
groat year for Fords, says Mr. Grif
fith, but ho feels that thero is go
ing to bo a shortago, desplto the many
deliveries that aro being mado at
this time. As an illustration of the
demand, Mr. Orlffith said that a few
weeks ago thero wore 912 Fords
unsold In Portland. Today no new
Fords can bo found on the garago
floors.
This year will see no change In
Ford models, or Ford prices, as the
co,r as It now stands ropresents the
acme of efficiency, and tho price 1s
as low as tho Ford company can af
ford to make it. Dig cars, Mr. Grif
fith believes, will bo passed over
in favor of smaller ones this year,
and the Ford will be tho most pop
ular In tho list.
Speaking of itho Fordson tractor,
Mr. Griffith said that tho modol and
tho price would remain tho same,
tho prico being $025, F. O. I). De
troit. Thousands of these healthy
llttlo tractors aro being disposed of,
not only In other places, but right
here In Klamath county. Tho econ
omy embodied in their operation Is
making them Independable, said Mr,
Griffith, and that they do tho work
has been proven beyond a doubt.
