1 PASSAGE OF PRO
POSED ROADBOaD
It's different than any other car made m Amer
ica. It has the same style of engine that the British
tanks carried in the war. :
Instead of clashing poppet-valves, raised by
blows from steel cams and slapped back by strong
springs, the Willys-Knight motor has SLIDING
valves. Two cylinder sleeves, one within the other,
glide silently up and down between the piston and
cylinder wall . Long ports, or openings, in these
sleeves register with each other and with cylinder
ports at proper intervals, forming large and DI
RECT passages for intake and exhaust ga-es..
It is MORE FLEXIBLE. Uniform compression
in all cylinders, and at all speeds, makes it possible
to throttl" down to a walking pace on high gear.
'Gear shifting is reduced to a minimum.
It REQUIRES NO ADJUSTMENTS. There is
no grinding of valves in the Knight motor-no weak
ening of springs' to require re-timing. It has fewer
oarts, and these parts are MECHANICALLY COR
RECT. It is QUIET IN OPERATION-and stays so.
There is no clashing of metal against metal.
Besides the Willys-Knight, we also have ' on
hand, an OVERLAND delivery car and a few of
the "90" touring cars, for immediate delivery. But
we won't guarantee that they will be here very long."
You'll have to hurry to get one.

the roads, however, requires a greater
initial outlay of money and an euuie
change in our rond working system. Ma
chinery and tools eo.it more and for each
district to attempt to own its own pav

con u(y.
However, tha districts could not ob
tain tho help required as the supervis
ors havo to depend on the farmers for
help in working the rouds and they can
not leave their farms for the entire
working season. In order to obtain a
good return for the money i-ivested In
paving, It is necessary to proaeeute the
work vigorously during the entire sea
son. Experience hns proven to us that
the county is the smallest unit than cftu
build the permanent roads to ndvanUgo,
so as to get a fair return for the money.
Invested. By pursuing this course, the
roads of the county will be standardise

New Conditions raced.
Inasmuch ns the mud traffic hns al
most entirely changed, the county courts
of the Willninete vnlley have learned
that the system of road construction
must be changed to meet the new con
ditious mid we have lonim-d that a sub
tanliallv built rond is the
in the long run. Where the
comparatively light, it is still good pol
icy to build gravel or macadam roadn,
provided the grr.de and diniuage are so
constructed that" the roadbed can b
used as a bnse for paving later on when
the increase of traffic demands it, there
being no better bnse for paving than
an old macadaiu or gravel road.
It is estimated that the Vnited State
government and the state of Oregon

Busy Days for the Vulcanizer
Men who own and drive
motor cars, who seldom
before had their used
tires ' vulcanized, are
now learning the econ
omy and wisdom of
thus saving their old
casings and tubes. The
war has caused car own
ers to call a halt on new
tire outlays except
"where" absolutely ' neces
sary. Our vulcanizing
process saves that m
most instances.

that expect to get their share of this
