The building is the new general terminal of the system in the metropolis.

NO ROADS GIVES TEST FOR TRUCKS When a new city was to be established in the northwest, between Portland and the Pacific, along the Cowltz river, the problem of how to break through virgin soil where no roads were became the most serious encounter. Various trucks were tried out. Some faltered in a few days. Others brought to the scene to do their share of the pioneering, were turned back to engage in gentler pursuits after a single trial. The need fax for virile things that breathed the virile spirit of the men behind the project. Thus the segregation was quickly made, and is quite often the penalty of quality, the sturdiest of the fleet were assigned the hardest tasks. One of the first trucks to prove its complete fitness for the work was a Graham Brothers, 15-ton says the concern. It was, in fact, the first one bought to assist in the actual construction of the city. It began service in July, 1922. So commendable was its performance that three more were added in October. A fifth was added a few months later. The Long-Bell Lumber Co., builders of Longview, speak in emphatic terms of the service these Graham Brothers Trucks have given. A recent letter to Graham Brothers, Detroit included the following comment: "Your Trucks are establishing an enviable record with us. They have met and overcome all the obstacles which motor vehicles had to surmount in the building of a city from the ground up, and after daily use, month in and month out, in the transportation of men and materials about the city-site, they are still in service. Several of them have traveled more than 29,000 miles." And the absence of ague is often explained by the fact that the country is thoroughly drained. render the same wonderful mileage as the high pressure Para Bell Tires which he has been selling Boll Balloons which are very in Anaheim for most of three pleasing to the eye and which will years.

Calif More than 2,000,000 hicles were turned out BANDITS SEIZE NON-STOP KNIGHT "Invincible" was the right name for the Willys-Knight non-stop car, according to Willys-Overland officials. A chapter right out of a detective thriller was written into the record of the non-stop Knight last week when three bandits stuck up Pilots Estes and Potts on their way in from San Bernardino early Thursday morning and relieved them of their cash and the car and left them dumb-founded in the middle of the Foothill boulevard near Rialto. They rushed to the nearest 'phone and told R. E. Starkey, service manager, what had happened. He made an emergency run and spent all day Thursday searching for the car. During his absence, Melba Davis, one of the operators at the Willys-Overland-Pacific Co., and incidentally the pretty miss who christened the car when it was launched on the run, received a call from a gruff-voiced person who said he was one of the bandits. "Your non-stop car is still runnin' fine," he told her and hung up. Early Friday morning Sheriff Jack Pyle of San Bernardo found the non-stop Knight in Lomita canyon apparently unhurt, except that the electrically lighted score board mounted in the spare tire had been removed. Starkey went after the car and drove it back to the main branch. He reported that it was running like a top, the hood was still sealed and the newspapers who hold the keys were notified if it was agreeable with them the run would continue without further delay. As a result the car was started without further delay on its rounds of Willys-Overland dealers all-over Southern California again Saturday. It had turned up more than 8000 miles when the trio of bandits so abruptly interrupted its career. W. R. Schanhals, local distributor, CRASH IS CAUSED BY SUDDEN GUST RENO, Nev., Aug. 2.—Experienced flyers expressed the belief today that a sudden gust of wind was responsible for the nose dive which carried William F. Blanchard, U. S. air mail pilot, to his death late yesterday as he prepared to drop a wreath on the SHOW NEW NASH HERE NEXT WEEK Arrival of the new Nash "surprise cars"—the much-discussed 1925 models with their sensational changes and betterments—is assured for early this week, or at least in plenty of time for the big Nash first showing which takes place here next Thursday. This was definitely assured today in a letter received by the Nash-Boyes Co. from Robert S. Breyer of Los Angeles, vice-president and general manager of the Troy Motor Sales Co., Nash distributors for Southern California, Arizona and Southern Nevada. "Although national magazine announcement has given the public both a picture and description of each of the new models," wrote the distributor, "the cars themselves will prove such a surprise—so much better than any photograph or written description could paint them—that we held off our earlier planned premiere showing in Los Angeles in order that you in Anaheim might get your first glimpse at the cars simultaneously with all other dealers of the territory. "Reports from all cities thruout our tri-state territory, indicate that the interest in this section, as in all California, is as keen as it has ever been over, any announcement ever made by a motor car manufacturer. In the east, too, and throughout the country, heavy orders will undoubtedly be placed at once and I urge that you advise prospective buyers to place their orders early in order to insure immediate delivery as, even with our monster production, the extraordinary demand right at first may cause a "first come-first served" situation on deliveries." "SLOGANEERS" ARE PLENTIFUL IN CAL. Evidently everyone likes to try their hand at fashioning a slogan. At least it would appear so from the mass of entries in the slogan contest inaugurated by the Star Motor Company of California. It closed July 1, and still they pour in. More than 100,000 slogans have been suggested and the judges had to wade through the entire batch before they can proclaim the lucky man or child who wins the new Star sport model. CRASH IS CAUSED BY SUDDEN GUST RENO, Nev., Aug. 2.—Experienced flyers expressed the belief today that a sudden gust of wind was responsible for the nose dive which carried William F. Blanchard, U.S. air mail pilot, to his death late yesterday as he prepared to drop a wreath on the grave of Samuel Gerrans, world war veteran and air mail service mechanic. The plane crashed on a house, three women narrowly escaping. The gasoline tank exploded and plane and house went up in flames. All efforts to rescue Blanchard were futile. The casket containing Garrys body was about to be lowered into the grave when the crash came. Blanchard having flown over the funeral party once. Never before has there been such progress in discovering the causes, treatment and prevention of diseases—and the greatest of these is prevention. Tourists' Cars No Longer Are Loaded With Beds, Stoves, Etc. Records for auto touring will be shattered in 1924 if present activities are maintained, according to the touring bureau of the Auto Club of So. Calif. Not only are hordes of motorists entering the state for vacation trips, but more Southern Californiaans than ever before are taking advantage of their own highways and scenic spots, and it is reported that more California cars are entering Oregon, Washington and Canada than at any time in history. While actual checks of incoming cars are difficult, it is an easy matter to compute the general travel from the calls upon the touring bureau of the auto club. Up to July 15 the club has distributed more than 3,500,000 maps to motorists in 1924. The same period last year shows 3,000,000 maps were given out. Not only is motor touring more general this season, but the appearance of cars coming into California indicates that motorists have at least learned that he who travels fastest travels lightest. The typical tourist of the past few years is disappearing and the cars arriving with passengers entangled in iron beds, collapsible tables, cumbersome stoves, and resembling a moving van in distress, are disappearing fast. The motor traveler this year also is finding more adequate provisions made for rubber tired tourists. Auto camps are found in every community. In most cases they are comfortable, clean and appealing to the party that has been traveling all day. These camps anticipate the needs of the wanderer and are prepared to give service at nominal charges. The present high peak of travel is expected to continue throughout the late fall.

Calif. More than 2,000,000 motor vehicles were turned out of factories of the country up to July 1, and this total is within one and one-half per cent of the number made in the first half of 1923. One of the most favorable factors in the automobile world is the steady increase in exports, which reached a new high total in May, when 18,665 passenger cars were exported and 3800 trucks were sent to foreign countries. It is expected that the automobile market will be stronger in the fall. The first leg of five miles of new highway between Holtville and Yuma is open and the entire piece will open Sept. 12-15 it is announced.

L. McBride, county superintendent of highways, although improvements will cost as much as during the previous year. Boards of supervisors are authorized to use their proportions of these revenues as they see fit, including improvement of dirt roads, but most of the money is used on new paving. During the quarter ended July 1, according to a dispatch this week from Sacramento, the returns were $624,898 larger than in the preceding quarter, and amounted to $3,737,098. Half of this latter sum goes to the state for road extension and maintenance and half to the counties, divided among them, according to their proportion of registered vehicles. The large number of cars from outside the state is largely responsible for the increased sum. The large number of cars from outside the state is largely responsible for the increased sum.
