Maxwell Military Express On Transcontinental Run With k third of its long traoscon tinental run, from Ban Francisco to New York behind it, the Maxwell Mil itary exjm.s carrying a, capacity load of military supplies en route from Aus tralia to Trance, has provtd itself a champion. Under the skilled piloting of Kuy IdcNumaro, the sturdy little ono-ton tuiek made the distance from San Francisco to Salt Lake City, a distance of Dti.,'1 miles in five days. This tinio is four days better than Mc Kaniara had planned. The portion of the trip already cov ered inclr.des some of the very worst going of the trip. At tho outset is the long and severe climb of 70 miles to the very summit of the Sierras. 7S()0 feet above sea level. This test the Max well completed without faltering, go ing "over the top" on the first day out and reaching Reno, a distance of 272 miles, before McNnniara was sat isfied with the day's work. From Reno the Express took the nl kalai plains, the blazing hot Nevada desert nrd although this was a dis tinct change of atmospheric conditions there wtis no trouble of any kind in negotiating this section. Ppon reaching I'tah, in the vicinity of Fish Creek Flat, the Maxwell was caught in a cloudburst, which made the roads extremely heavy, but as far as the E press was concerned was entire- j Iy waste 1. Even the thick adobe hadi no effect and the Maxwell plowed right along. In fact it was called upon to rescue several passenger cars which stuck. The run to this point alone furnishes figures on motor transportation which moan much. Tiie economy ns well as; the reli-ibi'ity of the performance help! to establish a record that has never ! been surpassed. Already has the truck passed through the full gamut of weather conditions with flying colors. The balance of the routn while com prising the greater distance, is com paratively easy going. ''The way in which the Maxwell truck has responded to all demands has exceeded my highest expectations," said McNamara. "While I looked for a trip full of obstacles, did not forsee so many changes in weather conditions, yet these have had no effect. No more severe test for a truck could have been planned and I am looking for the truck to make a new record. ''In setting ItH) utiles a day as a schedule, it xecmed that its work was cut out for the truck, yet without any difficulty this running has been just about doubled. Patwenger cars running over the same Toute are unable to keep up to the pace set by the Military Ex press. A great deal of efficiency of the run depends on the United States Pelsinger Gets Decision San Francisco, July 27. Harry Pel singer held a decision over Jimmy Duf fy which he won in their bout at Dream land rink last night.

Harry Hiel- man, baseba'l star, passed through San Francisco today en route to the San rcdro submarine base to report for service as an enlisted man in the naval reserve.

The largest single order lor bacon and canned meats in the history of the world 1)9,500,000 pounds of bacon and 134.000,000 pounds of canned meat has just been placed by the quartermaster's department, U. 8. A.' for the American army overseas. Louis F. Swift, in. commenting on this today, said the order will take the bacon from approximately 1,900,000 hogs and if other work were dropped to produce it would be t.qnivuleiit to the total baton producton of tho five lar gest Chicago packers for nearly five weeks, however, six months will elapse before delivery is to be completed. Mr. Swift said: "At the current prices on tho day, Inst week, when the purchase was made, the packers would pay the" livestock producers about $SO,000.000, for the necessary hogs jnd over $50,000,000 for about !'00,00 cattle required. "The cattle will cost us twice ap much, tnd the hogs two and one-half times as much as in the pre-war period. ''The whole order will be made up before ,'he first of the year, despite the fact that, even before this purchase, one-fourth of the packers' facilities have been devoted to filling military demands. "Jn order to get out the canned goods the packers will find it neces sary to employ night r.id day shifts of canners. Notwithstanding the fact that the products are being rushed for ward thus hurriedly, not a single com plaint has been received on meats de livered to the armies abroad. "The five packers are now killug about SOO.OOO hogs weekly to keep abreast of martal and domestic needs. RETREADING, VULCAN IZING, TIRES Phone 1400 279 N. Cora'l SERVICE MILES ATISFACTION Stock Market Quiet And Narrow Today j New York, July 27 The New York ' Evening Sun financial review today said: j The stock market in today's short sessions was quiet, narrow and goner-1 ally s'eady. The opening was strong j and represented in the active list the best prices during the early trading, j Th first hour was moderately reaction- j ary and stock settled down to points within a fraction of the previous clos-1 ing. j The market, in the late trading j was generally dull, steady and without feature of trend. Distillers securities gained about a point and General Mo tors, selling at 148 rallied about two points. The rest of the list closed- eith er fractionally above or fractionally below Friday's level. American Naval Craft Fight With Submarine Wnshinr-tnn .Tnh. 97 Tt.n A.,.t: can' naval craft have had. a brush with a German U-boat raider off the coast was indicated in the navy department advices this afternoon. Tho Hnnnrt- nient said it had reports of firing on iue suumarine, waicn appeared to be more substantial than nmnv of tht m. mors of buttles heretofore received. The submarine apparently was missed for it was said there is still a menace from U-boat raiders. : More Trouble From State Soldiers' Home K. C. Markee, commandant at the Oregon Soldiers' Home, has been caus ing moro trouble, and it has been neces- sary for the state board of control to remind him that ho is not the whole j push at the home. This time he was causing trouble among the nurses at the hospital at the Home and some of them were quit ting. Some time ago when Command ant Markee was before the brard as the result of trouble he was causing at the institution, the board informed him that Dr. Stewart was to have com plete charge of the hospital. The board has again advised him that Dr. Stew art has complete charge of the hospital and for Markee to keep his hands off. Dr. Stewart was given authority to increase the salaries of some of the nurses. SGoyeraor Stephens ' Grants Mooney Reprieve Los Angeles, July 27. Governor Stephens today acted in the case of Thomas J. Mooney, under sentence cf death as a result of the preparedness parade dynamiting, and granted a stay of execution until December 13. Stephens issued the following state ment: ''I have deeled to grant a reprievo to Thomas- J. Mooney, which will oper-t ate as a stay of execution until Decem ber 13, 1918. "It is true that the Mooney case still is in the. supreme court of Califor nia, but I take this action at this time in order that all persons in this state and elsewhere throughout the United .States may be assured that the fullest consideration will be given to this caso by tho executive nnd the judicial branch of the government of Califor nia. "The Mooney case has1 been in tho courts of this state for mere than two years. The records and briefs are vol uminous. 1 will require all of the tinio between now 'and the 13th day of De cember to give to this matter that care ful consideration which justice both to Thomas J. Mooney and the peoplo de mands shall be given." German Experts Say Present Battle Decisive Amsterdam, July 27.

"The present, battle must be -docis-. 'ive, '' ho said. "Tho result will depend 'upon who has the greatest number of I -reserves ready at the place whero they i'are most needed.

PUT THEM TOGETHER Community canning proves that two heads &re better than one and three ara better than two. Join forces with your neighbors. Free book of imtructiona on canning and drying may be had from the National War Garden CommUtion, Washington, D. C, for two cents to. pay pottage. If you should ' happen to bear and see it coming down the street and it looked different from anything that ever traveled into these parts of the woods, you mav know it is a Ford tractor. It is here and there is no mistakiifg the fact that it is a vigor ous looking machine and able to do all that is claimed. Especially noticeable is the large rear wheel with his deep flanges, capable of taking hold in any sort of -soil. It is now on display at the rooms of the Valley Motor Com pany and will doubtless bo an attrac: tinn to the thousands who will como to Salem Tuesday. W. H. Steusloff who Cadillac was stolen by the convict Wyntcr Willis and abandoned in the suburbs of Port- Innd is .if flip rmininn flint th nnnvtnf is not much of an automobile driver. He went to Portland to get his car and found that gasoline had been poured in the crank case, that the bearings were ruined and that when there had been a blowout, the wheel rim had ben put back wrong. Mr. Steusloff figures he is out .about $lo0 for repairs and tha car was ill such bad condition that h had to leave the car in Portland.

X Jf Cast V2 As Much Both Use Gates Half-Sole Tires. The small car and the limousine Gates Half-Soles appeal to the owners of both alike. Their appeal lies in Service long mileage freedom from trouble. These are valuable to the merchant with prompt" deliveries to make equally valuable to the pro fessional man and to the pleasure party for. which an untimely puncture may mar a perfect day. They cost only one-half as much as other tires and are guaranteed for thousands of miles of puncture-proof service. Look into this now I S. 5. Montgomery 1 if it 177 South Commercial Street Phone 428
