Your test has proved the merit of

Your test has proved the merit of your car"
 The test which the Jordans have un- dergone on the Apache Trail from ev- cry angle is the most severe and thor Ough in the union. While there are sleeper grades and harder roads in other districts which are praised as tests of power, these trials differ from this in the period of time elapsed and the mileage. The Mount Wilson drive near Los Angeles is an example of one of the steepestand hardest ever at tackled by an automobile. But in test ing cars over this course they are not put through 120 miles daily for six months to establish their worth Cars are driven up Pike's peak; then they are driven down. Imagine putting one machine over 120 miles of Pike's Peak road daily for 250 days! Up Mt Shasta in an automobile is difficult task. But demonstrators of automobiles don't climb Shasta every day for half-year to prove the worth of one autocobile
 The song of the Apache Trail has been sung in many keys. Every scenic spot along the 120 miles of desert and mountain highway has been photo graphed. Descriptive articles of the highway have found their way into the press and magazines or the nation. The Trail is fast becoming one of the best known scenic attractions in the southwest.
 But it has been discovered as su- preme test for stability, strength and quality of the motor car only recently. Many automobiles have piled the road in the stage service. In five years cars have come and gone over the Trail with varying degrees of success Their av craze length of service has been under one year. Most of them have required hospital attention inside three months service.
 It remained for the Jordan to demon strate the value of the Apache Trail as final court of judgment of automo- bies Hereafter in the praises of the Trail will be recounted it's trials and tests of motor driven vehicles. In the business world of motoring the Trail will stand as a supreme test; in the pleasure world of motoring as q su pIeme delight from scenic and pictur- csqao value. And the Idan. in the history Of the Trail. will go down as one of the first aatomobies to with stand the supreme test supremely.

 THING IF BEAUTY

Those who delight in the luxury of autoing in d perfected car and yet who do not wish to mortgage the family homestead to own one. will be glad 10 have both a ride and look at the new Oldsmoble which is being demonstrat- ed by W. E. Ferguson of the Oldsmo- bile of Arizona organization. Those who go out in the new car in the frame of mind depicted will not be disap- pointed for they will find the car d symphony in steel, rubber and the fin est woods, beautiful to look at and as easy riding as any car Gn the market.
 The new car came last week and has been inspected by scores of interested people. It rides like a dream due to the peculiar and excellent spring con struction. and in upholstery has adopted a clever idea which enables the combination of individual coil springs in canvas bags and the regula ton tufted cushions to give the rider the feeling that fe or she Is riding in the car and not on top of it. In fact, the feeling of being d part of the car as it sways over the uneven roads, is d particularly pleasant sensation.
 The machine has many interesting features. The model which Mir. Fergu- son is demonstrating has six cylinders. It is also made with eight, an dit is the first Oldsmobile with seats for seven passengers. These extra seats lin into the back and floor O fthe tOnneau and are in no way d makeshift. They may Oe sat in all day with comfort, which is contrast to extra seats in somecars
 Another pleasant feature is the pres ence of a floor light in the tonneau This enables a passenger to climb in afterc omng out of q Well-lighter room into the outer darknes without stumb- ling up ther unning boards. To this list must be added the handy tool chest This may be locked It's door opens out over the running board SC that seats need not be lifted to get al the tools. Another item on the list are the curtains which are framed above the doors so that when the door is opened they open out with it. No lon ger will hats be knocked off and heads tucked in climbing out of the car while the curtains are up in rainty or colo weather.
 The total absence of vibration point!

SHORTAGE IT FREIGHT CARS
 H|TS DEALERS

Although Phoenix automobile deal- CTS are enjoying the best business in history, there is a certain feeling of unrest and discontent among the in- dividuals, due to their inability to se- cure sufficient machines with which to fill orders. In many instances deal CTS are weeks behind their orders.
 Freight conditions throughout the country are blamed for the present sit uatiOn. The factories have all in- creased their capacities the present year, it is annouhced, but are unable to ship the finished product with the same speed and regularity with which the machines are turned out.
 The arrival of a carload of machines is hailed by the various dealers almost as an epoch making event. It is ire quently the case, however that the entire shipment has been sold before it's arrival.
 Many of the salesrooms are totally barren of display cars, due to the fact that the dealers have endeavored to please their customers even to selling a display machine. The situation is rather humorous to all except the dealers, who look on the situation as anything but funny. This idea of leas- ing large floor spaces for display pur- poses at large figures and then being minus the desired display articles is not a welcome one to the automobile men,
 In connection with this freight situ- ation, it might be added that the sales men have found ample cause for com plaint. In some instances local dealers have been exceptionally fortunate in securing shipment of cars, while others have been just the opposite. To the dealer, this idea of some getting all of thes machines and a goodly portion of the business, which under normal con ditions would be his, has been anything but a source of satisfaction.

DIAMOND TIRES
 STAND UP WELL

Payne X Saufley, who specialize in Diamond and Silvertown tires. as we'll as in vulcaniZing and other work, re- port an exceptionally brisk demand for Diamond tires at this time, but be- cause of their very large stock they are able to keep pace with this demand and supply the sizes needed in prompt fashion. It is only by handling a very large stock that the company is able to do this. as the demand is so spotted" that is, for a few days it may run especially heavy in one particular size, that nothing but large stock will care for the needs of the valley.
 The tough tread of the Diam-,nd tires has especially commended them to auto users in this section. where the roads and climate are extra hard upon rubber. and some individual instances of remarkable mileage have shown what properly inflated Diamond tires will do here under even the most ad- verse conditions. ~ri@

MOT0ME TER MAN LIKES CHALMERS

Seldom a day passes but that the ONeiil company, Phoenix agents for the Chalmers Motor Car company, re- ceives some written or personal com mendation for the car which they are representing in this territory
 Harrison Boyce of the Moto- Meter company, manufacturers of the Boyce Moto Meter. is an enthusiastic owner of a Chalmers. This letter which fol- lows, tells why:
 T have been intending to write you, regarding the success I am having with one of your Chalmers thirty Cab riolet models.
 Like great many other people know, l thought l vas motor Wise until Mrs. Ralph DePalma was kind enough to give me d demonstration in the Chalmers she drives around De- troit, and after driving this car my self. l came to the conclusion that If Chalmers would stand up under the abuse that l would give it, I certainly could make good use of it.
 Upon my return to New York purchased one of the Cabriolet models from your New York agent and have given it to date about 2000 miles of abuse. which convinees me that there IS no question about the car stand ing up.
 The acceleration of this motor is truly remarkable, and it's smoothness together with the easy riding qualities of the car would, l believe, please the most critical purchaser of motor cars
 T have been a motor fan since the start of the industry, having owned one of the first 'horselesscarriage operated on Long Island, so am not talking as novice when tell you that the Chalmers car, as it is built today, is certainly d masterpiece. and 1 will not hesitate to recommend it whenever the opportunity presents Itself
 One of the remarkable features about this car, in my estimation, is the cooling system. Never have l been able. under the most extreme condi- tions, to make the Moto- Meter show a reading of above ITO or below 130. This temperature is not only extremely economical, but extremely efficient in every respect. and comes closely to- ward approaching a condition which is ideal.
 T presume you are in receipt of many letters stating the owners ap- proval of the Chalmers car but l want to take this opportunity in adding mine to your list
 With kindest personal regards, l am
 Very sincerely yours.

 In both Globe and Phoenix the Jor- dans have acquired the reputation among travellers over the Apache Trail Of being the last to leave and the first to reach their destina tions.
 Recently motorists of the Salt River valley have been impressed with the magnitude Of the test which has been inaugurated for motor cars in using them over the Apache Trail. It was When he was informed of the terrific strain which MT Fixes two Jcroa..s have undergone that Governor Camp bell first paid especial attention to the sturdy car. He expressed a desire to see the automobile which nad with stood 30000 miles of road which he knew to constitute the supreme test. Mir. Fike drove his two pioneer Jordans to the Arizona state house and the governor was invited to inspect them
 Neither of the Jordans shows signs of the supreme trials which each has undergone. Not crack or seam has appeared in the body where strains generally first show. The engines purr as softly and as smoothly as when they were first taken from the shop. The up- holstery was practically unscarred. Both cars are practically new; each is good for a hundred thousand miles yet.

M ARTHUR BROS.
 NAk|NG PLANS

McArthur Brothers are already making plans for occupying their new home, although it will probably be at least three months before the new structure is completed. However, the various departments are now shaping their affairs so that they vii be ready to move when the new building is finished.
 This does not mean, of course. that no effort will be made to carry on the work as in the past Rather, the company has made every preparation so that the same careful attention will be given motorists as iE the past. Through the cooperation of the various factories which it represents. the McArthur company completed arrangement sometime ago so that it wil be possible to care for all of it's prospective customers during the present year In this regard, the following announcement is made:
 According to Walter H. Afford vice president of the Nash Motors company, formerly comtroler of the General Motors company. and closely in tcuch with financial matters, the motor car dealer no longer has diff culty in negotiating sufficient loans to finance the purchase of cars dur ing the winter months.
 Heretofore, right in the midst of the spring and summer selling sea sons," declares MT. Afford, motor car dealers have lost thousands of dollars in sales because they wer~ unable to secure sufficient cars to fill their orders. That was because either through their inability to if nance q proper stock of ears in the winter or because of lack of fore sight they had not laid proper plans at time when they could have se- cured these cars from the manu- facturer
 There is only one excuse for a car shortage today, and that is lack of foresight. for the banks now rank the motor car among their gest secur- ities and are ready and eager to eX- tend reasonable loans to the dealer.
 "The automobile today is a real

Consequently ab- normally large profits no longer exist and the selling price of the automo- pile represents much more nearly its rue commercial value
 In order to exist. a bank must depend upon two classes Of customers: depOsitors and borrowers Without the first no institution could maintain sufficient funds to supply the latter Without the latter the interest on the depositor's money would eat up the institution.

prices rise. Patriotism is no bar.
The wealth owners of the country
display the most sordid Indifference
to any thing that interferes with a
good return on the investment.
SO critical is the situation that one
Wall Street paper protests in a re-
cent issue, that the business men
are going too far.
"The price of steel products con-
tinues to advance. Billets rose an
other SIS a ton last week. The av-
erage price of eight steel products
now stands at 5000 as compared
with $500 the same time last year
and $32.83 the corresponding week in
1915. Pig iron at last has gone be-
yond the $50 level. This too, in
spite of a production of 1,417,340
tons in May, with one exception the
largest monthly production on record.
The furnaces have had difficulty in
obtaining coke or the production of
pig undoubtedly would have broken
all records.
"Still it is difficult to justify the
increase in price. The cost of pro
duction surely does not warrant it..
"The prediction is made now that
prices may soar to almost any limits.
They have been rising in the last
month with rapidity that is simply
frightening. There is no reason
when the country is at war and the
demand for steel greater than ever
before, why the governmnt and pri-
vate consumers should pay prices
100 or 200 per cent in excess of the
cost of producing iron and steel.
Charging what the traffic will bear
might have had some justification be-
fore we were at war. Now it is
utterly indefensble. If steel prices
are going higher simply because the
mills are able to put them higher it
mum price for steel. After all the
country at large is the sufferer from
this sort of extortion, be it directed
at the Government or private con-
sumner. And both are the victims"
The protest is not very vigorous
not nearly as vigorous as it might
be made, but it shows that even the
wiser heads among the businessmen
are beginning to cry "Stop thief"
lest they kill the goose that is lay
ing the golden eggs.
The soldiers at the front hear the
command from their Country -
Fight" The people who stay at
home and the government that is
directing the war, hear from the
vested interests of the United States,
The command, "Pay"-and they both
pay.

NEW CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE"

The committee OF fifteen appoint /
ed at the "get-to- gether" meetings !
recently held under the auspices
of the Riverside Commercial Club |
has completed its plans for the
organization of a new civic associa- |
zion, the purposes Of which are set
forth in the following declaration:
"The object of this organization
shall be to promote the commercial
and industrial development of the
city of Everett, and the civic and
economic welfare of its people car
ried out through policy which
shall be free from all political,
religious, special or factional in
fluence. 1t shall, in all legitimate
ways, encourage, foster and bene-
fit the industries of the community
and shall make every effort pos
sible toward the securing of new
industries of a desirable character.
at shall undertake to develop
sites for industries, secure the build
ing of roads and driveways, work
to gain the cooperation of the
state or federal government in the
improvement of the Snohomish river
and other waterways and perform
any other work or services tending
to facilitate or encourage the build
ing up of industries in the com
munity r shall also use every
proper means within its power to
improve the conditions of life for
its people"
The committe proposes that the
new association be known as the
New Chamber of Commerce.
The committee suggests that the
Riverside Commercial Club and the
Everett Commercial Club be in
vited TO merge their organizations
with the new body.
The chief object of this new civic
organization. a- will be anpounced
in resolutions to 8e offered at mass
mt ting 80 Boz 7eld at the High
Scaao. Auditorium next Monday eve
ming ~ . ocioch. is "a united, in
tense, forward-looking effort which
will have as its major purpose the
commercial and industrial evelop-
ment of Everett"
1t is to be hoped that the new
club will adhere to the principles
set forth in its declaration of pur-
poses. If it does, the New Cham
Der Of Commerce" may become
great aid to the advancement of this
city. If it does not, the New Cham
Der of Commerce" will become a
great drawback to our town.
Two things it is hoped the New
Chamber of Commerce" will not do;
Assume or attempt to control the
governmental functions of the city
and county, and the other is to at
tempt to control labor affairs or
even try to aid in settling any Of
labors difficulties without the CON
sent, or invitation, or request of
labor so to do.
Labor is one of the chief factors
in the production of wealth and is
entitled to just share of the
wealth it produces. Without labor
no community can thrive.
1t has been declared by Congress
sional act and in Court decisions
that labor is not a commodity, but
living, thinking, warm blooded
human thing, therefore must be
treated with respect if industrial
peace is desired.
The New Chamber Of Commerce"

is reminded that in any .city where
labor is we'll paid and contented
a prosperous commercial and in
Iustrial era reigns.
The Journal wishes that wisdom
may prevail in the organization to
he end that it may become an aid
to the entire citizenship Of Everett.
This city needs such body, for
collective bargaining and collective
fort are necessary in present-day
civilization.
