ouiek Run From Portland

The speed record between Port
land and Grants Pass was badly
smashed when Gamers Cadillac
rolled into this city on its return
from its recent trip to the Rose City
with a running time of a scant 10
hours charged up to it. This time is
especially good in view of the fact
that the first part of the run through
the lower Willamette was in mud
and slippery roads.

SPEED MANIA HAS
HAD ITS BEST DAY
Now the Automobile Buyer Wants a
Car That Can BE Depended Upon;
Racing Dangerous and I'm


The speed mania has had its day.
Safety and sanity in the operation of
motor cars is the one big essential nee
eSSary to a continuation of the phe-
nOmenaI success which the autOmO-
bile industry has seen. according to
leaders of the business. Staunch sta
bic construction and the utilization of
every possible mechanical improvement
and refinement, rather than an effort
to provide tremendous speed, are, in
the minds of the big manufacturers,
the demands of the day in motor car
building. James J LOngWeu agent
for the WHIys-Overland. decries the
craze for speed and said in a recent
interview:
The motorists who demand speed
and ever more speed are the exceed
ingly small minority of the automobile
public of today. They and their re-
quirements can and must be ignored
by the manufacturer who hopes to pro-
duce a motor car that will appeal to
the solid. substantial public The mo-
tor car need OF the present time IS
staunchness and dependability rather
than terrific speed. ! most heartily
disagree with the men in the industry
who, of late. have been quoted as pre-
dieting a standard, every day auto
mobile which will be capable OF 100
to $50 miles per hour
This statement is ridiculous on the
face of it. At the present time there
is not a highway in the United States
which a speed of 100 miles per hour is
either possible or desirable. Half that
speed is all that our best road can
possibly stand and our laws and com
mon sense forbid even a quarter of it.
Automobiles are manufactured for bus
mess and pleasure and surely there is
no business which demands such
speed as 100 miles per hour. As for
pleasure. anyone who has ever ridden
in an automobile is aware that at more
than 80 or possibly 40 miles per hour,
there is no enjoyment.
The idea of providing any such
speed as that mentioned in some of
the printed reports is not silly hut
suicidal to the industry. With motor
cars scoOting through the country al
100 miles per hour, even if the nigh
ways Were so improved as TO allow
this insane pace. it would be only a
matter of days before every state in
