This is the second time balloon •• tires.were used in the great speed way event, the first being last year ....... when Peter De Paolo on Firestone full-size . gum-dipped balloons made a new world’s record at an average speed of 101.13 miles per hour. Smaller motors of 91 H cubic inch displacement, compared to 122 cubic inches ii» 1925, combined with rainy weather and a slippery track, slowed up the t»me of the 1926 winner, Frank lAckhart, who won this year's race at 05.88 miles per hour. This year’s gruelling battle of tires waj called at the end of 402 VI miles because of the downpour of rain. Lockhart, who captured the grand prize, drove the full distance without a single tire change and was all set to go the entire 500 miles on the same set of tires. It is a noteworthy fact, too, that the 1926 Indianapolis race was the ninth on the Hoosier speedway in which Firestone gum-dipped tires carried the winners tlo victory. The terrific battle of tires bring} out the effectiveness of gum-dipping the exclusive process employed by the Firestone company, which builds extra strength and endurance into the cord fabric by impregnating and saturating every fiber of every cord with rubber. > when the tainly was 1 remarkable ---- terrific speed at which the cars traveled over the 15-year-old rough brick track is taken into considera tion. ------ e------ POWER PROJECTS COME HIGH Watts What, the publcation of the Portland Electric Power Co., calls attention to Seattle’s sad ex perience with the Skagit river pro ject in a recent issue. Oregon is advised not to attempt state develop ment of power by means of bond issues: Watts Watt says: When Seattle undertook to devel op its “famous” Skagit river hydro electric power project, the munici pal ownership engineers said would cost $4,800,000. When Seattle went ahead spent the $4,800,000 without get ting anywhere near through with their municipal ownership job. Now, they have poured consider ably over $11,000,000 into the pro ' ject, and the engineers find it will 1 take around $5,000,000 or $6,000,- 000 more before the project is final ly completed. We wonder what will be the ex , perience of the Oregon public owner , ship crowd if they get away with ' their comprehensive plan for state wide hydro-electric development.
