MARKET AT SPOKANE.

Inc general business outlook con-
tinues favorable with scarcely any ap-
preciable diminution in volume of
trade. The fall of the year is natur-
ally the season of greatest trade &C
tivity. The crops go on the market
at this time and cause wide distribu-
ton of funds, the preparations for
winter mean heavy retail trade, the
transportation lines are usually at
their maximum traffic and nearly all
industries are normally busy.
Provisions.
Butter-Market is without change
as to prices with a steady tone to the
situation.
Eggs-Fresh ranch stocks are get
ting still harder to get and with cur
tailment of receipts quotations have
gone to new high levels. Storage
stocks hold at the same level as last
week.
Fresh Meats-No change on quota
tons are noted this week in this de-
partment and the market is inclined
to be easier, due to declines in live
stock.
Lard and Cured Meats-Hams and
bacon have again been marked up and
the market is very firm, with further
advances indicated.
Fruits and Vegetables.
Good eating apples have begun to
arrive on the market and the range
in quotations for fancy stocks is $1.25
@2.50 per box, while cookers are of.
fered at $1@1.25.
The range on quotations of lemons
and oranges has been broadened this
week. Fancy lemons are quoted at
S7@775 and choice $6.50@7. Oranges
are offered at $3.50@4.5O.
In grapes Cornishons are offered at
S1.75, as is also Tokays. Malagas are
$3.50 and Concords 35c for the locals
and soc for eastern.
Peaches are getting scarce at 65@
S5c, and blackberries and plums are
off the market Huckleberries and
ground cherries are 121ac per pound
and cranberries $13 per barrel and
$3.50 per box.
Potatoes have declined another 25C
and are now quoted at $1.75 per cwt
with indications of still further de
clines. Sweets still hold at $3.50.
Cabbage and dry onions are easier
at S2.25@2.50 for the former and $2.7'
@3 for the latter. The last of the ripe
tomatoes are selling at 50@60c anC
green peppers are off 15c to Csc a
5O@60c, while celery is higher at $50
@1.00.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-There yet remains som'
confusion between grain buyers ant
growers regarding the price of wheat
but with the announcement of the las
few days by the grain corporation o
the discounts on light weight wheat
it looks as if the trade will now b.
able to get down to working basis
Another cause of dissension from
growers was that they expected $40
for their wheat on the farms and di'
not take the matter seriously that tn
price named meant Portland, Seattl
or Tacoma, seaboard points. This ais
has been cleared up and we think from
now on that growers will begin to sci
freely; many of them are still engage
in farm work and prefer to finish thi

Cadillac Eight Offers
Real Accessibility

1t is to be doubted whether the
much-sought feature of the acces-
sibility in connection with automo-
bile motors has ever been more COM
pletely worked out than by the en-
gineers who designed rne v-type mo-
tor of the Cadillac Eight.
AS a rule, such things as car
buretor, ignition source, etc, are
placed on one side of the motor or
the other. sometimes so low and with
so little free space that inspection
and adjustments are proportionately
difficult and inconvenient.
Having its cylinders arranged in
V-form, at right angles to each
other, the Cadillac Eight offers an
opportunity that was not overlooked.
Carburetor. electric generator, start
ing device and ignition distributor
are all set in the space between the
cylinder blocks. Thus any one of
them is easily and conveniently at
hand for inspection and adjustment.
In addition, the removable valve
covers face each other, each being on
the inside of the BLACK whose valves
it protects, and consequently easy to
remove.

chinery and installing conveyors in
order that the raw material may
travel the path to completion in as
straight a line as possible.
Time is not the only factor to be
considered, h Jwever. The cost of
trucking has assumed such proper
tions in most factories that experts
are putting forth much effort to re-
duce 1t to a necessary minimum. In
Dodge Brothers WORKS, at Detroit,
Tor example, a complete industrial
railway has been installed to reduce
trucking COSTS.
The system which is of the narrow
gauge type, practica1iy encircles the
huge plant and runs through most of
the ground floor departments. AL
most S,400 feet of track. have been
installed and 5000 more will be laid
as soon as several new buildings are
completed. The rolling stock con-
sists of three locomotives and 108 fiat
cars. all of which were manufactured
in Dodge Brothers Works.
After testing and discarding sew
eral plans, and finding it impossible
TO adopt the electrical system due to
the presence of a large number of
travelling cranes, Dodge Brothers de-
cided to employ q locomotive of their
own design. They instaned a Dodge
Brothers engine, an exact duplicate
of the one used in Dodge Brothers
Motor Car, and by simple gear ar
rangement made it possible to drive

Paige Establishes Record
From Seattle to Vancouver

The motorcar record between
Seattle, Wash, and Vancouver b. c.,
long a bone of contention among
automobile men in that section OF
tho country, was substantially low
cred by Paige roadster in a recent
attempt in which the Paige car came
through in impressive style.
The Paige, a 1915 model that had
already accumulated u mileage in
excess of $4,000 in transcontinental
travelling, was driven by George M.
Price OF Seattle and covered the dis
tance of 167 miles IN three hours
and AZ minutes running time and
four hours and SO minutes elapsed
time
The first record over this course to
gain attention was scored in 1914,
the trip being made at that time in
six hours and 10 minutes. Not long
ago a driver covered the route in five
hours and 81 minutes. These record
makers however, ran from city limits
to city limits, while Mr.. Price in es-
tablishing the new mark drove from
a point within Seattle which made
his route nine miles longer.
Mr.. Price made mis- remarkable
record in spite of the fact that 30
minutes were lost at the two GUS
toms houses which had to be cleared
start at 1858 a. M, ana from Seattle
to Blaine, the latter he bordef city,
at the Canadian border. He made his
averaged 81 miles per hour. In spite
of the 80 minutes lost in the customs
houses Mr.. Price could have done
even better than he did had 1T not
been for the severe traffic and speed
regulations encountered after cross
ing the border.
When Everett, Bellingham, Blaine
and other important points were
reached, the time of the arrival and
departure was entered in a book car
ried for the purpose and attested
by responsible parties. A newspaper
man was carried as passenger and
reported that THE old Paige just
laid her 'tummy' to the ground and
ran like a scared deer for the entire
distance of 1877 miles" One tire was
changed at Blaine and no water was
taken on at any time after leaving
Seattle.

Factory Arrangements
Affect Car Quality

Only a comparatively small per-
centage of Americas motor wise
public has any idea of the bearing
which the arrangement of a motor
car factory has upon the ultimate
price of the car. Next to equipment
and purchasing power, factory layout
is probably the most important fac
tor in determining the price at which
the manufacturer cah place his car
upon the market.
The cardinal principle in the ar
rangement of a motor car factory
or any other factory-is to make II
possible for the raw material to en-
ter at one point and travel in as
straight line as possible through
the various processes of manufacture.
Only short time ago the Lehigh
Valley Railroad built the Tunkhap-
mock Viaduct at a cost of S12, 900, 900
to shorten the tracks only three miles
and to reduce the curvature in the
roadbed. On the same principle pro-
gressive motor car manufacturers arc
spending thousands of dollars in re-
arranging the position of their ma

Emergency Patch Should
Not Be Made Permanent

The Importance of the emergency
blowout patch as part of the motor
ing equipment is understood by all
experienced motorists, Whensthe mo-
torist discovers clean-cut fabric
break. stone bruise or small cut
entirely through tread and fabric, he
simply applies the patch. inserts and
initiates the tube and continues his
trip.
But it must also be understood by
the tourist" says Mr.. Mosher. man
ager of the local branch of the Fisk
Rubber Company, that this patch is
for emergency, not for permanent re-
pairs. At the end of trip.S during
which an accident occurred necessi-
tating the use of the emergency
patch the tourist should see that
the patch is taken out and the casing
shop. In this way the emergency
patch will have served it's purpose
and the mileage giving qualities of
the casing are not impaired.
"On the. other hand. as the tire
causes him no further trouble, the
motorist is likely to forget the patch
he applied for emergency purposes.
The result of this neglect would be
that by the natural fiexing and bend
ing of the tire the patch is forced
iEto the cut or break, wedgfng the
fabric apart until it becomes too weak
to resist the inside air pressure, and
n hl0W0It fa hrt
apart to such an extent that 1t is be-
yond repair. With careful treatment
the emergency fabric patch has saved
the life of many a casing. but 1T has
also brought more than one casing to
death by thoughtless neglect.1-

Rubber Stands Strain
Better Than the Steel

Three sets of chains were worn out
between the road bed and the tires
on the Pilot Car of vne San Fran
cisco motor caravan, is reported of
remarkable trip made to the ST.
Louis Ad. Mems Convention, by San
Francisco Automobile and Adyertis-
ing men.
Four survivors of the original
party of fourteen cars arrived in ST.
Louis on scheduled time after un-
dergoing one of the hardest tests
driver, machine and tires ever stood.
A series of snow, sleet and rain
storms preceded the plucky San
Franciscans in their severe test. Four
days of rain in eastern Nevada and
Western Utah played havoc with the
roads and put several of the cars out
of running. The Studebaker pilot
car became so clogscd with mud,
early on the trip, it was necessary to
chop the mud guards from the car.
Three of the Goodrich Safety
Tread. Tires, which equipped the
Studebaker Pilot Car, driven by
Chester N. Weaver of San Francisco,
finished the trip filled with San
Francisco air. The fourth tire was
punctured when about fifty miles
from st. Louis. Next to the enthus-
iasm of the San Francisco men over
landing the next Associated Advertis-
ing Clubs of the World Convention
for San Francisco in 1918, is their
praise of Goodrich Tires stamina.
Mr.. Weaver's car was the only one
in the caravan that didn't experience
tire trouble in the long grind The
four cars to win the struggle with
elements were a Chevrolet, two
Studebakers and BuIck. The mem
bers of the party were r. c.
