Tuesday, February 26, has been set
by the state desert land board as the
time for hearing those who may be in
terested in the formation of an irriga-
ton district to take over the manage
ment of the Central Oregon irrigation
project, near Bend. The district already
has been organized and has asked the
board to make the necessary orders to
enable the district to proceed to ae-
quire control of the project.
The William Hanley company of
Burns has filed with the state engin-
eer an application to use 142 cubic
feet per second of the waters of Sill
yer creek, in Harney county, for the
development of an irrigation project.
1t is proposed to irrigate 1905 acres
adjoining Harney lake.
In the application, the estimated
cost of the project is given at $4,000.
Construction work already has begun
on some of the small dams, and other
work will be commenced by August 1.
The project is to be completed before
January l, 1922.
The public service commission, in an
order issued Monday afternoon, directs
the Southern Pacific company to build
a passenger waiting station at the in
terseetion of Main and North Range
streets, Hillsboro, which is the inter
section Of the Tllamook branch with
the S. P electric trains The company
is given 80 days in which to build the
station.
In an order just issued, the public
service commission refuses to require
the Oregon Electric and the Oregon s
California Railroad company to have
common user of the railway tracks of
the Oregon Electric in HillsborO and
to establish a union station at Wash
ington and North Range streets. These
changes were sought in a complaint
brought against the railroad companies
by l. NJ HOyt and others.

even primarily. But because they had
come back Ct the truth they long had
known-that the automobile is indeed
an economic necessity.
Some years ago the automobile
passed the point where it was classified
as a luxury in the mind of the general
public. 1t will! never go back to that
point. 1t has become too firmly inter
woven with the daily lives of the peo-
pie. 1t has proven too conclusively the
big part it plays in the nations busi-
ness life. 1t has shown too we'll how
it actually does promote business by
giving more men more time to do more
business.
We have been wont heretofore
o comment on the number of motor
cars which are kept in commission
Nverywhere during the winter months.
There never wac any reason why car
should be laid up during the winter,
except in country districts where
snowdrifts make roads impossible to
anv and all traffic.
The point. however, is this More
cars are being kept in active use this
winter than in any previous season
of cold and snow Always, since it
came, there has been need of the
motor car. That need has grown. 1t
is more vital in these times than it
ever was before. 1t probably has not yet
! reached its fullest and widest scope

one element for the country's saliva
ton at a time when railway transport
tation is at a premium. Curtailmcnt
Of automobiles means curtailment Of
movement
The individual transportation by the
motor car has been one of the greatest
factors in the development of our coun-
try, and with the probable output this
year of 100000, with the production
cut to 60 per cent, would put between
100000 and 100000 new cars into op-
Grafton. This, together with the esti-
mate of 100000 cars in operation to-
day, would, with the possible neces-
sary discarding of those old models
which can no longer be made to op-
crate, mean that by the end of the year
we should see from $500 900 to 4.75O,-
900 machines in use.
1t will not require much stretch of
the imagination to realize what a tre-
mendous load these millions of auto
mobiles will lift from the usual and
accepted modes of transportation-the
railways, streetcars, subways and ele-
waited roads. In cities especially a re-
stricted use of automobiles must inevi-
tably result in throwing an added bur
den on the street railways and other
means Of city transportation, which al
ready are loaded almost to capacity.

these savings many times have been
reckoned in dollars and cents.
In spite of the fact that we as 4
nation were on the side lines of war for
three years, we were as unprepared
mentally as we were in physical equip
ment when finally the inevitable did
come to lis. In our efforts to find the
right things to do and the correct atti-
tudes to take in reshaping our indi
vidual and national lives we undoubt-
edly did some things the wrong way
and assumed some detrimental atti-
tudeS.
People who owned automobiles SEN
sibly kept right on using them, as they
used them-to save themselves time
given time or to do it better. People
who did not own automobiles, but were
perhaps on the point of buying them,
were inclined to hold off.
SO, for time, there was more or less
stagnation in the retail selling Of auto
mobiics-in some rather limited Sec
tions Of the country. People were Try
ing to adjust themselves to a new point
of view. They were trying to accustom
themselves to the idea that war would

The exhibits of custom bodies at
the Automobile Salon in the Hotel Astor
indicate two new motor car styles.
One is the revival Of fashionable car
riage architecture Of fifty years ago,
and the other is leaning toward mill
tary and naval modes.
In addition to the cars which are
designed purposcly to express The mill
itary spirit, the salon is exhibiting a
White cabriolet with rear windows
patterned after the port holes of "a
battleship; a Locomobile with the same
feature; RollsRoyce with disk
wheels like those of an armorcd car
numerous cars with miniature lamps
shooting rays from the business end
Of one pound she'll and one car whose
lamps are entirely camoufaged.
Many Of the Salon cars show the
gray colors of battleships, the dull
black finish of gunmetals and the olive
drab Of the army truck. Gray is the
predominatng color, and it is used N
all the hues and bihues of gray.
In matters of upholstery the war has
imposed severe limitations, but the
custom designer has shown his re-
sourcefulncss in spite of the inability
to get the materials that have been
popular in the past. Coach lace has
all but DISAPPEARED from the Salon. This
is due mainly to complete devastation
of the districts in Belgium and France
from which the finer specimens of broad
lace formerly were obtained. Tapestries
are used sparingly. Few of the intri-
cate patterns and delicate colors Of
former years have been used on ac-
count of the dye situation.
Broadcloths are used in neutral
shades, and there are only three or
four cars which exhibit pure colors in
this material. Largely taking the
place Of lace, tapestry and broadcloth
are smart patterns in laidlaw cloths
durable worsteds and other fabrics

Motor transportation Is Now

then, that the business man should
widen every sphere that is narrowed
by war.
Wars demand upon transportation is
tremendous. With the prospect of
millions Of men diverted to military
service, with greater demand than
usual for men to carry on the abnormal
work of production and distribution
which war imposes, the shortage of
labor may become even more acute
than it is now. Due to huge govern
ment requirements, labor saving ma
chlnery is none too plentiful. Certain
products more necessary than others
will be given right of way in freight
shipments, which means slowing up the
movement of other goods And it is
idle to produce if you cannot transport.
Transportation by automobiles is the

wheel. In our opinion it isn't such an
awful good poster, and really three
years is about as long as you can eX-
Eect poster to wear.
A reading notice which comes to us
contains this startling sentiments:
"The most essential point necessary in
designing and building car is to know
what the public want and then give it
to them. This takes a great deal of
time, etc" Too bad the s@sthor of this
sentiment didn't take it first of all to
ments. There's big information for
them in it.
In one respect this show differs from
any other we've ever attended. 0The
first car sold at the show" story wasn't
given out, simultaneously by dozen
or SO companies. In fact, at late
hour no word had reached us at all
about the man who burst in the doors
at opening time waving certified
check for a Bezitz car, in order to
make sure he would be in time to get
one at all in 1913.
We note with regret that an adver-
tser Of a truck attachment announces
that it will convert pleasure car"
INTO truck in short order. Enough
harm has already been done to the
motor car business by the use of
this phrase, which emphatically marks
motor cars generally as non-essentials
if the implication of the words is
true. Nearly every automobile com
pany has circularized its dealers and
others urging them to use the phase
passenger caro- instead Of "pleasure
car"

Ins and Outs
Of the Big Show
By G. E. r. Scharns

The wall signs at the Grand Central
Palace show are the best thing of their
kind the show management has had.
They arc curtains painted to give an
appearance of being tapestry and bear
designs of crests, coats of arms. Cru-
saders or medieval warriors. The
name OF each exhibitor is painted on
the curtain in his booth.
1t is to be hoped the Palace folks
will get some coal. 1t was distinctly
and Nncomfortably cold opening dav

important exhibits are Cor are SUD-

moters forgot to tell the Palace man

time enough to go get some coal.
The war tax did thriving business
on opening day. Not only did the
folks who paid admission in full con-
tribute nickel each to the tax, but
the holders OF passes and free admis
sion tickets also had to come across.
Some of the exhibiting companies sent
out complimentary tickets on which the
tax mad been prepaid, so that those
who got them didn't have to pay the
nickel.
Even before the war started all this
talk of economy. the show management
had hearkened to it. This is at least
