Motor League" Swindles.

thought the automobile cooperative league,
club and association had about died out, but see
that revised tactics have caught some new owners
in various parts of the country. 1t is the old game
of an organization of car for which, of
course a membership fee is charged, and then you
can buy anything you want, from an automobile to
a tire valve plunger at reduced rates.
Several of these swindlers have gone far as
to claim they had made arrangements to build tires
and make other parts which frequently needed
by motorists. The cleverer do cater, once in
while to an owner who is supposed to have in
fuence in his community and who will pass the
word along to his fellow motorists that the propo-
sition is good one.
As general rule, however, nine out of ten Of
those who join these fake leagues get absolutely
nothing for their money. Very clever swindlers
have been operating in this line for long time
and great deal of publicity has been given to their
methods For a time it appeared that they had
been reduced to minimum, but they are coming
to the front again, and every motorist should be on
his lookout for them.
Their inducements most enticing, and when
they are soliciting your membership, either by mail
or by personal visitation the part Of we'll
dressed talker, they appear to have an excellent
scheme, but there is nothing to any of them except
a plain ordinary trick to get your SIS or $40 for
membership. Unfortunately, the average man who
is taken in is too much ashamed of his bad judg-
ment to permit his name to be used by those who
endeavor to prosecute these rascals.
They are located in all parts Of the country and
bob up when least expected. Look out for them
and turn them all down without hesitation, because
there has not been organized yet which

an interesting interview with well known auto

Dec. \, 1910.
Gentlemen: A member of our as
ISOLATION is being sued for alleged
infringement of patent No. 1,O52,27O
to Perlman, entitled automobile
wheel rim.
This patent is alleged to cover all
forms Of automobile rims using
wedges between the rim and felly,
holding the rim in its operative
position on the wheel. If this is
true, the patent would cover prac-
tically all forms of demountable
rims.
The patent is also alleged to cover
a rim of the clincher type providing
the tire Tugs whose stems engage
holding means bearing against that
part of the rim facing the wheel
centre, the lug stems being provided
with means engaging the tool oper-
ating through stem holes in the rims
for drawing the Tugs into operative
position. This patent was issued Feb
ruary 4, 1918, on an application filed
June 20, 1905.
The member sued does not feel
that the burden Of this suit should be
borne by him. Neither tires nor
rims are made by the car manufact-
urers. They are purchased complete
from the tire and rim manufacturers
in practically all cases. We would
point out that the suit in question is
of very little interest to the member
concerned. A consent decree with a
nominal royalty would probably be
the easiest way out for said member.
The device alleged to infringe is
made by the Standard Welding Com
pany. Upon corresponding with
them they agree with US that this is

rights of the holders of patents which
enter into automobile construction.
The demountable rim trade has been
particularly mum regarding the Perl
man claims, and was anxious to find
out just how the decision of Judge
Hunt is going to be received by the
powers behind the demountable rim
branch Of the industry. The first thing
| ran across was letter sent out IN
1918 by the Patent Department Of the
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
which explains itself. This was after
Mr.. Perlman had entered suit against
the Standard Welding Company and
the Packard Motor Car Company, one
the maker of rims and the other
a large consumer. The letter is as

PACKER PAYS TRIB-
UTE TO DAVIDSON
(FrOm the Packer


Few men have been more prominent
ly Identified with the fruit business in
the northwest than n. F. Davidson.
Because OF bis long association with
! the industry, and the many important
civic positions he has occupied, Mr..
Davidson is almost as well known in
the east as be is in the northwest.
Hundreds Of fruit dealers throughout
the country know him personally and a
great many have known Of him so
many years. by having had business
dealings with him. that they feel al
most as well acquainted with him.as If
they had actually met him in person.
Mr.. Davidson went to Oregon in 1880
ard located in Hood River as a fruit
grower lie soon took a prominent
part in the industrial affairs Of his sec
tion and IN 1893 was one Of the ineor-
porators Of the Fruit Union, which was
one OF the pioneer cooperative growers
organizations Of .he northwest. In 1897
Mr.. Davidson organized the Davidson
Fruit Co.. at Hood River, which was an
extensive shipper of Hood River fruits.
This company likewise developed an
orchard of 800 acres. The ST ipping
business was taken over in 1913 by the
Apple Growers Association, which has
since controlled more than 30 per cent
OF the fruit produced in the Hood River
district. Mr. Davidson was one of the
leaders IL the organization Of the North
Pacific Fruit Distributors with head
quarters at Spokane, Wash. This was
in December, 1912. tie was one of the
original lncorporators OF the Distribut-
ors and represented the Hood River or
ganizatioH on the central board of the
Distributors during the first two years
of its existence during which time the
big northwest selling organization ham
died approximately 10000 cars Of fruit,
mostly apples. He also served the
Distributors as president for two years
and represented that organization in
New York, where he had charge of its
export business to Europe, South
America and South Africa. When the
Hood River district recently withdrew
from the Distributors, an account of
which appeared in a recent issue of The
Packer, Mr.. Davidson resigned as pres
ident of the big association and is now
identified with the Apple Growers AS
sociation, handling the strawberry
crops Of Hood River and White Salmon.
Mr.. Davidson always has found time
to devote his attention and usual con-
structive talents to the interests of the
fruit growers, and this interest is
shown in the work which he has done
in assisting to organize the Northwest
Fruit Shippers Council. He was chosen
its first president. AS one of the most
extensive growers of the northwest he
was also interested in and took an ac-
tive part, organizing the Growers
Council. This is an organization of
growers for the purpose of assisting
the shippers of the northwest in prop
erly distributing the big fruit crops of
the section.

There is one thing that is always
worth considering, particularly in a
section like this: Do all you can to

The greatest handicap we have is

Enough is paid to the D. & R. G.

county.
Shipping rates are so high that the
staple products cannot be shipped at
a profit unless market prices are above

is the other thing to do

other ways reduce the bulk.

In that way the mine run stuff is

profit.
Grains and alfalfa fed to stock is
a like concentration process, enabling
you to ship less weight at a higher
value. Reducing alfalfa to meal is an
other economy in shipping. And there
are many others.

STANDS WITH

Denver. March 16.-Governor Carl
son made good today. He read a
special message to the house and
senate in which he congratulated the
house for the stand it had taken in
the Howland matter. For that one
act, he demonstrated. he is not un-
der the control of the Denver Post.
Tonights paper is roasting him
where two months ago it was singing
his praises. The feeling between the
house and senate and the Post, is not
to be a temporary affair. 1t will
probably last through several months.
and there will be an invertion of the
influence OF the paper and the state
politics for the last Is years. Mem
bers of the house are inclined to car
ry the matter with Carlson and fight
to the end.
Following a conference with mem
bers of the house and senate Carlson
today came out on the side of the
house and senate and has joined in
the general fight with them
In addition to congratulating them
on their stand in the Howland matter
Governor Carlson urged them to re-
duce the cost of the state government
to abolish the board of capitol man
ayers. to submit a constitutional
amendment providing that each sec
tion Of Colorado furnish its quota of
names on initiative and referendum
petitions. also urges them TO submis

ing for the short ballot and urges
them to adopt the industrial relation

Democrats and Republicans alike and

Start Extensive Improvement

Close to their congregated buildings
in this city, near the d. & r. G. sta
ton. the above association is bedding
for a new building of concrete and
iron. the dimensions of which will be
one hundred and fifty feet.
The new building will be entirely
fire-proof material and be used as
an implement warehouse. Its storage
capacity will be fifty carloads of farm
implements and machinery.
When completed the new building
will receive the implement stock now
occupying the present 46x125 foot
warehouse. and that building will be
improved by solid concrete floor
and iron bins. after which it will be-
come the grain warehouse and grind
ing room for feeds, large quantities
OF which are ground into mixture of
oats and corn. to which in some cases
oil meal cake is added.
The main building of the associa-
ton. constructed of pressed brick, has
basement. ground and upper stories,
with capacity of about $50 carloads.
The basement is used for arsenate of
