HUPMOBILE COVERS
ITSELF With GLORY
Completes Tour of Seven COun=

in Oregon

A little Hupmobile has covered itself
with glory in Portland. Carrying Fred
A Freeman and Fred W. Smith, both
of Portland, the car has just completed
a tour of seven counties of the north
ern state, visiting a score of cities, in
which great interest was shown in
the car on account of its size and de-
sign and ability.
A Portland correspondent sends word
to s. G. Chapman, the local agent, say
ing that probably a feat unparalleled
in automobile annals of Oregon, or any
other state was the fording by the
Hupmobile of the Yamhill river five
times in one day, the last time at night,
in the dark. Rain made part of the
trip difficult going. The last days run
was between Silverton and Portland,
through the muddiest part of the whole
trip, until the party got within six
miles of Oregon City, where it found
a new gravel road. In spots before
reaching this road the mud had been
12 inches deep. More than 500 miles
were travelled by the little Hup on this
trip.
S G. Chapman reports the arrival of
another carload of these little cars.
The entire shipment has been sold and
delivered, with the exception of one
car. Chapman reports, however, that
more carloads will arrive the first of
the week. The cars sold this last week
bring the number of Hupmobiles dis
posed of by Chapman during the last
10 months up to $50. and he is look
ing for an unusually busy season, as
indicated by inquiries and interest
shown.

The good Andy Carnegie is of the opinion that American millionaires make great mistake when they leave their fortunes to their oldest sons. He deprecates the idea of handing great fortunes down from father to son. and thinks that men of wealth should see that the bulk of their money is dis tributed for the benefit of the public. But what is the American millionaire to do. so far as dividing his wealth among his children is concerned? If the fortunes are left to the sons there is probability, at least, that the money will remain in this country, where the rest of us can have whack at it But if left to the daughters, il is a foregone conclusion that it will go for the purchase of titled husbands from abroad

Taft as Politician and Statesman

Harpers Weekly, calling attention to President Taft's success in reach ing a satisfactory adjustment of our tariff differences with Canada, and to his remarkable success as a states man in all the undertakings of his distinguished career. regrets that he is such poor politician.
 That NIT. Taft is sound and sue cessful statesman. but a poor poli- tician. may be true. At any rate. it is the judgment of the world that he ranks all right as a statesman. and he himself admits that he is d mighty poor politician. But granting that he is not smooth politician. it is not d serious indictment. While party ma chinery would of course work more satisfactorily with an adept politician in control. Mir Taft's defects in that regard do not hurt the country. He will live in history according to his success in the field of statesmanship Under the administrations of McKin- ley and Roosevelt he demonstrated that he is an admirable administrator and a first-class diplomat. and it is to be hoped that his term as presi- dent will add many more marks to his credit

Gaxnor and the Press.

During the campaign of Judge Gay nor for the mayoralty of New York he was opposed by all the papers of the city except a single journal Tn Brooklyn. Papers of all shades of po- litical opinion united in fighting him, because they believed he would be under the domination of the corrupt Tammany Hall machine. Judge Cay nor as mayor has surprised his for mer opponents He seems to have cut loose from Tammany. He ignored the Tammany machine in making ms anpointments and selected men who had the merit of fitness and recog- rized character. He courageously un- dertook q general house-cleanng. By directing the looping off of eXtraNa- qances. he has already saved millions of dollars to the city, and is giving ,be metropolis a business adminis- tration."
 What is the result as to the press Without exception the great news papers of New York are pralsihg Mayor Gaynor. Most of them nave frankly admitted that their campaign estimates of him were wrong. If these papers were published for merely sen sational purposes; if profits from clr- culation were the only consideration; if they were not guided by principles of integrity and fairness, they would still attack Judge Gaynor.

A Bad Proposition.
credit

At the meeting of the city council which is to be held Monday night il is the intention of a number of citi- zens we understand, to appear and urge the mayor and council to aban- don the plan heretofore adopted for bonding the city for d sewer system The alternative to be presented is an application to congress for a law to authorize the city to. assess the cost of the sewer against abutting prop erty
 The city administration will make d grave mistake if it accedes to the proposed request.
 As we have said before. each of the two plans has merit. If the city had power to go ahead without delay with either plan it would. We believe, be q matter of indifference to a large num- Der of property owners as to which course was adopted
 But the vital. practical objection to the property assessment plan lies in the delay which must necessarily at tach to the new scheme. The city al ready has the legal power to vote bonds for a sewer system. This means that if the proper formalities are ob- served in preparing the call for the election, and so forth. the funds may be available and the work of con- struction started within d few weeks whereas to adopt the other plan we must await the pleasure of congress. Nobody can tell when the proposed bill could be passed.
 Some of our friends who are ardent advocates of the property assessment plan are of the opinion that the re- quired law could be obtained witltiN two or three weeks. There is nothing to justify such an opinion.
 To give some idea of the delay which Ircbabiy would ensue, it is only necessary to refer to the bill author lZllS llt tily ol DpNSie~' " 'SN0 for the purchase of the city water works at that place. This bill was introduced at the special session of congress a year ago. It-finally passed congress and went to the president on the goth of March-less than a week ago. The present session of congress is nearing it's close. Wheth- CT it lasts a month or three months longer. the congestion of business is bound to continue, so that the fate of any new bill will be precarious. All the probabilities are in favor of the theory that it would be some time next winter before the proposed bill could become a law.
 A years delay in the beginning of sewer construction would cost the city immeasurably. The city administra- ton is on the right track, and 1t should have the support of everybody who wishes to see Phoenix grow rap idly

HONDURAS is IN NEED
OF AMERICAN GOODS
Fertile Field Is Awaiting Conn
merCiaI Men

The best way to create demand
for American made goods in Honduras
is through personal representation. and
travelling statesmen visiting Central
America ought to spend the necessary
time in Tegucigalpa. reports Consul
Arminius F. Haeberie of Pegucigalpa.
II their baggage is not too heavy they
may enter from the north coast and
stop at Comayagua on their way to the
capital.
In the absence of travellers. the fol-
lowing suggestions are submitted to
American manufacturers for considera-
ton:
There are many articles that can be
sent down as samples, and this should
be done wherever possible to introduce
something new. Furthermore. if bust
ness organizations would unite and
send down a variety of American made
goods to be displayed in Tegucigalpa.
it would be a great help in promoting
American trade with this country.
Merchants all over the country could
examine articles in which they are in
terested. One way ef handling this
display would be to put man in
charge thereof. who could also take
orders for the merchants.
II this is not feasible arrangements
might be made with the new chamber
of commerce of Tegucigalpa, which has
representatives in every department of
the republic. TO handle such a display
of foreign goods.

FRANCE IN NEED OF
POTATOES AND WHEAT
Tubers May Reach $40 a Ton
Shortly

France has had a poor potato year
as well as a poor wheat year, and
large importations of these neces-
saries will be demanded. England and
Germany are called upon to supply the
deficiency in both these respects
Just now the demand is for potatoes.
Large expectations are going from
England and prices have taken a sud-
den rise. The eastern potato raising
counties of England, which include
Yorkshire, Lancashire and Norfolg. are
being searched for supplies to ship to
France. Germany has also been send
ing great quantities into France. but
IS the yield in the former country is
believed to be about one-fifth below
last years crop. that source of supply
will soon be closed. and the Germans
may also be compelled to import pota-
toes.
The only resort then would be
America, and if the yield there per-
mits of surplus for expectation
doubtless prices can be obtained justi-
tying expectations to France
IT is doubtful if England can spare
a large amount. The yield of potatoes
is larger than in 1909, but not equal
TO the yield of 1908, which is known
as the potato crop year in England.
Hundreds of tons were sent that year
to the United States.
Prices at the end of October varied
according to quality from 1880 to s17
per ton. But if the demand keeps up.
and 1t appears likely to, the price is
sure to rise, and may reach $50 ner
ton, or even higher
