THIRTY-FIVE
YEARS ON JOB
Charles w. DOUGH, Toll Collector for
keokuk and Hamilton Bridge
Co., Had Anniversary
Last Month.

Charles W. DOUGH, collector on the
Keokuk and Hamilton bridge in
March, completed his thirty-fifth
year with the bridge company. He
went on duty on the bridge in 1882
on the draw, and in 1894 went on the
toll gate. where he has since been on
duty. Mr.. DOUGH has a CHEEKY word
Of greeting for every one who passes
the toll house, and his acquaintance
with the users of the big viaduct Is
a wide one.
There are lots Of other duties con-
nected with the collectors job besides
taking in the nickels, and quarters
for toll, or grabbing tickets out Of
outstretched hands when the driver
of the car is stepping on it." There
are the track switches to be thrown
and watch to be kept for accidents,
suicides and the like.
In the new toll house on the sec
ond floor Of the new bridge, the deck
on. which vehicles and pedestrians
cross, there Is periscopic arrange
ment in front Of the desk and in line
with the windows. 1t Is composed Of
two mirrors set at an angle and al
lows the toll collector to see We.
hicles coming in either direction
without having to crane his neck
around the corner of the toll house
This was the scheme worked out 3y
Mr.. DOUGH, and put together by E. S.
Cushman, engineer.

Gift Of Iowa Of 100000 to the
Federal Government for German
War, Small Compared
With Past
FURNISHED $4,000 MEN
With Ten Times as Much Wealth as
In Civil War Times, States
Give But Twice as
Much Money.

Upon the declaration of war with
Germany, the Iowa general assembly
appropriated 100000 to be used as
a war fund.
When the civil war began, Iowa had
a population Of 100000 people. The
legislature of this state then appropri-
ated 100000 for war uses.
Iowa has advanced in wealth ten
times beyond the financial standing in
1861. On that basis. the state could
appropriate s5,O0O,O00,000 now for war
purposes and not do more in proper
ton than the state did In 1861.

Comment on Hawk Case.
The Burlington Hawk-Eye contains
the following comment on the Hawk
case:
Ed. Hawk was member of the
Burlington baseball team Of the sea.
son of 1912. On the evening Of July
S. 1912, after an extended spree, the
fellow fell or was pushed out OF a
third story window in the Wagner
hotel, crashing down upon the cement
walk. 1t was assumed that he was
dead, or that he could not possibly
survive his injuries. He was taken
to a hospital and there the four doc
tors named in the suit gave him
much time and their best skill and
knowledge and in the course of time
he was discharged from the institu-
ton. The medical men, of course,
received nothing for their services,
and ought at least to have been en-
titled to the fellows gratitude, but
evidently that is foreign to him, for
in the course of time he brought suit
against the men to whom he owed
his life and his restoration to health
and strength.
One of the medical men said: "For
my part, should have liked to have
the case tried and fought out. 1t is
ended now, and we shall not hear of
1t again, as it was withdrawn by the
plaintiffs attorney"
1t is taken for granted that Hawk
had been advised that he had no
case, and therefore it would be bet
ter for him not to appear.

Money Came Back.

| Money Came Back.
| The federal government reimbursed
the state for its expenditures made
during the civil war. The. government
(, will be expected to reimburse the state
for expenditures made now in raising
an army.
T. L. Stephens. keeper of records
in the adjutant generals department,
dug up the records of the $500 900
civil war fund. He found that the
state actually used s4S6,7S6 Of this
| fund in raising and equipping troops
for federal service.
Iowa furnished $4,000 men In the
civil war, when the state had popu-
lation Of 100000. The state now has
a population Of 2,358,O00. If the same
percentage of men is furnished for
the war with Germany as during the
civil war, Iowa will furnish 235, 800
men for the federal armies.

GOOD FORTUNE FOR
HUDSON BUYERS

Even when other cars sold at 5000 to $500 less,
in the $1,000 to $140O class. Now that there is no
such difference in price you realize how much
greater will be the demand for Hudsons The
present supply won't last long. Then Hudson, too,
must cost more.
There can be preference now that former
cheaper cars cost as much as the Super-Six.
Super-Six endurance makes it the preferred
among fine cars. In every revealing test it has
proved endurance unequaed by any other
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-21
ALL DUE TO THE
SUPER-SIX MOTOR

Hudson leadership is due to the Super-Six mo-
tor No other motor is like it. 1t minimizes vibra-
ton. That increases power and lengthens motor
life Vibration is the most destructive force in
motor. All Hudson tests show how by mnmiZ-
ing vibration endurance is obtained. The Super
Six is the most powerful automobile motor of its
size known.
e Phateton costs $3.50 f. o. b. Detroit There are
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-21

No owner has yet discovered the real limits of
Super-Six endurance and almost 10000 Super
Skies are in daily service.
Endurance is the most wanted quality of mo-
tor should not out soon. 1t
should not require frequent mechanical attention.
That Hudson has proved.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-21

Former $1,000 and S140O cars cost about
much as Hudson Super-Six.
No changes warrant such increase. They
are practically the same as the cars which recently
sold at $500 to $500 less than the Hudson Super
Six
Cars in the $4,000 class and up have increased
from $3.50 to S700 That removes them further
from the Hudson Super-Six price.
Increased cost of material is responsible for the
higher prices.
Hudson prices have not increased this year. Our
materials were contracted for months ago. When
present supplies are exhausted then Hudsons, too,
must cost more Until then Hudson, because of
its value is the lowest priced the market.
Here is indication of how prices have been
affected. Consider just one item.
The principal material in fine automobile is
steel All steel is made from iron.
For 25 years before the Great War the average
price of iron was a few cents over SIC ton. In
December last it $50 ton. 1t now is S54
ton.
Makers who bought materials this year must
get more for their than for those built of ma
terias bought last year.

YOU NEED NO GREATER
PROOF FOR HUDSON

A double transcontinental run with a seven
passenger phateton broke every previous record
each way Pixies Peak up the highest and longest
mountain road in the world climbed by
Super-Six special in less time than any other car
Twenty-Five of the worlds fastest special cars
contested. stock chassis established the record
for the fastest mile. A stock Super-Six phaeton
made the fastest time for one hour. Carrying
driver and passenger, fully equipped, it
travelled 100 miles at average of 74.67 miles
per hour.
stock chassis made the greatest 24-hour long.
distance run on record. 1t covered 1919 miles in
that time and at the stop showed nothing to ind-
cate that its endurance had been reached.
But these tests greater than any other
made were not enough to reveal the limits CT
Hudson endurance. Then special racing cars
were built that they might compete on the speed
way with the worlds fastest, most carefully built
automobiles The principle that accounts
for Hudson endurance in the stock cars is included
in these.
The American Speedway record for 200 miles
was established by of them at an average
speed of 104 miles an hour.
That speed for that distance calls for endur-
ance beyond that which ordinarily is needed IN
lifetime's requirements. These are proofs OF Hud-
son endurance. They indicate the service you may
expect from Hudson Super-Six. If such tests
nothing to you because OF their extremes,
then think what the service to almost 4O,Ooo
users means. There can be no greater assurance
than that.
There is no advantage in buying another
car not even the apparent saving in the first cost
price.
But the number of SuperSixes that can be built
from last years material purchases is limited. II
YOU are to get your car at the present price it must
be from that number You must decide soon.
