MONTGOMERY SAYS AUTO TRUCKS
PRACTICAL FOR WHEAT HAULING

Wheat may be hauled by use of au-

bia river at very low rate in the
view Of j. +. Montgomery who re-
turned yesterday from trip to Port

as a member of a committee to in.

farmers. Mr.. Montgomery believes a
hard surface road to the river is what
the Cold Springs farmers need.
I'm demonstrating the use of auto
trucks" said he, "the demonstrators
used five ton truck with three trail
ers. The truck was loaded with five
tons OF freight and each of the trail
ers with three and half tons, thus
making a total load of 10 1-2 tons,
A run was made covering n distance
OF four or five miles on hard surface
road and on some macadam. The
train moved at 10 miles an hour and
could have moved faster had larger

Rev. j. f. Snyder. pastor OF the
Piedmont Presbyterian church OF
Portland for the past six years. prom
inent worker for charity and civic
welfare and n big man in the church
world. last evening was issued a un-
animous call to the pastorate of the
Pendleton Presbyterian church. He
has accepted the call providing his
own church will permit his departure
and expects TO come here about March
first.
Ever since the resignation OF Rev.
S L. Grigsby, who had accepted a
call from National City, California,
the local church has been casting
about for a suitable man TO fill the
pulpit Rev. Snyder was not can
didate for the position but. upon the
suggestion OF Rev. w. $. Holt of Phil.
adelphia, one OF the big men OF the
church. and OF Rev Van Nuys, former
pastor here. negotiations were begun
with the Piedmont minister. week
ago he came to Pendleton personally
and discussed the matter with the
leaders OF the church and, after look.
ing over the. field. consented to accept
a unanimous call. Such call was
given by the congregation last even.

pulled the trailers right up the grade.
However, the street was wet and as
steel tires were used the wheels be-
came slippers. Consequently a stop
was made on the hill and some sand
placed on the road The auto truck
was then started again on the steep
hill and pulled to the top easily. On
n level road there would be almost
no limit to the amount of wheat such
truck could pull.
1t is figured by Mr.. Montgomery
that one truck and three trailers in
use on hard surface road to the CO.
lumbia could haul 1900 sacks of
wheat to the river daily. He estimates
five trucks with three trailers each
could haul all OF the Cold Springs
wheat to the river in 80 days time
each fall. He estimates a Is mile
haul could be made at an expense OF
two cents per bushel, At the present
time the Cold Springs farmers pay as
high as 10 cents sack to haul their
wheat to Myrlck station. With road
to Cold Springs landing they would
be able to save that uphill haul and
at the same time get the advantage
of water transportation
