Pierce-ArrOW Co. Now Ready to
Recommend II in Place OF
Leather Coverings.
CHANCE FOR COLOR SCHEME
Other Reasons Given to Show
Why a Change Is Considered
Desirable for Cars.

Cloth upholstery FOR touring cars has
,ong been an acknowledged feature in
Europe. hut has been slow Of Introduction
in this country.
For the last eighteen months the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car Comany has had the
matter under consideration. During this
time il has been trying out cloth uphol-
.tery for touring cars and now recon-
mends il as an excellent alternative in
cases where discriminating customers de-
sire something better than standard
leather.
Color schemes have been ruined be-
cause the leather could not be made to
hermonize. and there have been outher in
stances where the color scheme Of the
car has been spoiled because the leather
did not wear, due entirely TO some flaw
in manufacture, leather being acknowi-
edged one OF the most difficult materials
to handle successfully.
Even where II IS possible TO work ost
distinctive color schemes with leather.
the effect Is all lost the moment seat
covers are used and one might just as
we'll use some cheap. durable material TO
cover springs and rely upon the scat COW
ers for final effect.
The result OF this is bound 10 he one OF
uniformity and loss OF distinction, since
Il is impossible to get wide selection of
seat cover materials that are durable.
With slip covers It is as though man
wore a buster all his life so that his
clothes might have a higher value in the
second hand clothes dealers.
II Is not necessary 10 send cloth-f1n-
ished car TO the cleaners. since naphtha
soap and hot water applied with a brush
will remove almost any grease stain. 1t
il also waterproof to the degree that
water will not penetrate unless 1t is al
lowed to stand In a puddle or is rubbed
into the material.
Leather to be durable must he tigntiy
stretched. Slip covers to look well must
be also tightly stretched. This stretching

POOR ROADS ARE DOOMED
So Says Indiana Man Comment
ing on Trade Conditions.

Good roads and their effect on general
conditions I'm the territory In which they
are common form question OF vital eco
monte importance. The benefits OF the
highways that are good under all condi-
tons are pointed out by r. i. Marshall
the Indiana distributor for the Marion
Motor Car Company, who has been
leader in tho campaign for better high
ways in the Middle West. Mr.. Marshall
has been preaching the gospel Of road
Improvement for several years and backs
up his claims for merit with evidence
gathered this fall and winter.
"Of course, Indiana is well known as a
state in which the average OF good roads
is high" Mr.. Marshall Gays I'm study
ing my territory this fall had occasion
TO visit districts where roads were both
good and bad. II is noticeable that In the
sections where improved highways pre-
dominate there has been no lul I'm busi-
ness.
where roads were in such condition as
to make travelling difficult every one
seemed content to call everything off for
the winter. This is true not only OF auto
mobile selling, but OF other lines of trade
as well. The fact that our business held
up well, exceeding that of any previous
year i'm the same months. In the good
roads districts while II was inactive IN
the muddy territory. furnishes. believe,
a criterion OF general trade conditions.
And. of course, when travel IS held up
and II is impossible to move produce
the general trade suffers. Where will you
find better argument FOR good roads
than this? But every day more and more
persons are coming 10 realize that the
question is vital one TO them. I'm reduc-
ing cost OF transportation. for instance,
and are clamoring for the improvements
The bad roads are doomed to early elmi-

1914 Showing
Breaks Record

According to the registration made
by Superintendent Will G. Steele, all
records for attendance at Crater Lake
were broken this year, 6,947 people
visiting the lake up to September 81.
This figure is over 1000 more than
reached the lake last year at this date.
Last years total to September 27 was
5,253, says the Medford Sun.
AS the roads can easily be traversed
for several days more, Crater Lake
officials state that a total of 1000
will be reached, if not surpassed.
The figures show that travel by au-
tomobiles has been much heavier this
year. The total number of autos that
entered the park to September 81,
1914, was 1852, while the total for
the entire year of 1913 was 76O.
The road to the lake has been ex-
cellent this year, and little difficulty
has been experienced in traversing it
with any kind of machine. There
has been one light snowfall.
A. H. Parkhurst closed both camps
at Crater Lake October /, and will
not accommodate the public. He has
had a splendid years business and

Road Camps Open
Until November 8

The road camps in Crater Lake ma
tional park are to be busy places until
about November 8, according to the
present plans of the government en-
gineers in charge of work there, says
the Klamath Falls Northwestern.
Last year the camps closed and
crews pulled out early in October.
their closing down the
weather continued good until up into
and this season, desiring
to complete as much OF the work as
possible, those in charge have an
nounced that the camps would remain
open at least until November and
possibly longer, If the weather does
not get so bad work cannot be prose-
cuted to advantage.
1t is fine at the lake yet, although
there have been several snow flurries
and the hotel at the rim is closed for
the winter. Olfred Parkhurst, who
operates the hotel, has packed up
everything and left for Medford.

First Accident
Of Hunting Season

The first accident of the hunting
season occurred Saturday at the Peli-
can Bay Lumber Company's sawmill,
according to the klamath Evening
Herald, when Lloyd Thomas, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. P. Thomas of Klam-
ath Falls, accidentally shot himself
through the foot. He will lose two
toes as result.
Young Thomas is born electric
ian, and would rather experiment
with ohms, volts and amperes than
eat. 1t was a dynamo that brought
about his injury.
In the forenoon, Thomas, carrying
shotgun, was going by the ruins of
the Pelican Bay mill, now in course
of reconstruction. A dynamo was in
operation, and resting the muzzle of
the shotgun on his foot, Thomas
stopped to watch it.
Presumably from the jar caused by
the whirring mechanism, the shotgun
was exploded, and the full charge
struck the youth in the foot, blowing
off two toes.

Allen Pollock, at the head of the

He will return in a few weeks

Hunt PheaSantS

Over five hundred licenses were is
sued by the Lane county clerk during
the three days previous to the open
ing of the hunting season, and as
several hundred hai peen issued be-
fore that time, it is believed that
over one thousand Lane county men
and boys were in the fields October
1 hunting China pheasants. The
birds are said to be more numerous
this year than ever before. A rigid
enforcement of the law is announced
by +. C. Hills, deputy game warden
for Lane county, and he announces
that he will have many deputies in
the fields to arrest anyone killing fe-
male pheasants and killing more than
five males.

Gasoline Kills
GOpherS Quickly

A farmer tells us he has practically
rid his farm of gophers by the use of
gasoline. He carries a bottle and
bunch of cotton batting with him
while working in the field and when
he sees gopher run into a hole he
pours some gasoline upon a wad of
cotton and places 1t at the mouth of
the hole and covers the opening with
dirt. The gas fumes are heavier than
air and go to the bottom of the hole.
In an attempt to get air the gopher
comes to the top of the, hole and the
gas does the rest. Remove cotton in
about half an hour and Mr.. Gopher
will be dead. The plan will apply
to many other burrowing animals. N

are much heavier than the old wheels
