To supply the present demand for mo-
tor driven vehicles there are 52S Ii
censed dealers now doing business in
tho state the report shows, as against
10 in 1914.
The rapid growth in the number of
ears has not, however, been Geeompa
MED by corresponding increase in the
total Of hire machine. To the contrary,
the records show only slightly more
than half an many licenses issued to
chauffeurs this year as during 1915,
when the number of hire cars was 4fS1,
the greatest, on record. Last year, due
to war conditions, only 1856 drivers ap-
pliedfOr licenses and only $3.50 appliea-
tions have been made so far this year.
During 1914, the first year that mo-
torcyeles were classed separately, 2s9s
machines were registered and the gain
in number is shown to be comparatively
slow, with only 3ls9 licensed this year.

Figures Show Growth Of In

With only six months Of 1919 gone
by there gre approximately 1000 more
motor driven vehicles in Oregon than
were registered during all of last year
according to figures compiled IN tine of.
flee of the secretary of state for the
current year up to July 10. The total
number of pleasure ears and trucks reg
istered up TO that date was 7l,l46, while
the total for 1918 was only 63,3G5.
From this greatly increased number
of auto owners the state has been fl
nancially benefited to the extent of
s5j3,s93 in license fees, all of which,
under the provisions Of the licensing
law passed by the last legislature, will

just how rapidly the auto industry
in the state has developed is strikingly
shown in the comparison Of the number
of machines registered from year to
year since l905,when the licensing law
went into effect. In that year there
were but 2lS machines in the entire
state and the following year showed a
decrease to l42 1t was not until 1909
that the number of owners passed the
1909 mark, but since that yeas the sales
have increased by leaps and bounds, as

yon as long as the present construction
work on that section of the Pacific
highway is in progress, is the advice
of II. Mccall Of San Francisco, who
passed through Salem on his way north
this week.
While reporting most of the roads
between this city and the California
metropolis in fair condition and nayi-
gable without any great discomfort to
the motorist Mr.. Mccall said that the
present shape Of the Cow Creek can.
yon unit justifies a person in going a
long way out of his way to avoid il.
Mr.. Mccall was two days in getting
over the few miles Of road in the can.
yon, due to the fact that the road un.
der construction is open only for a
few hours each day and the going is
slow. Passage over the road, because
Of blasting operations, is open only for
a short time in the early morning, at
noon and in tho evening.
The highway over the mountains In
northern California is not in the best
of shape, according to Mr.. Mccall, but
does not present any serious obstacles
to the experienced driver. This side
of Roseburg the roads are easily pas
sable, although rough in many places.

Proper Use of
Brakes Vital
To Cars Life

Just how much damage he is doing
to his car when he jams on his brakes
and comes to fast stop the aver
age mOtorist does not realize-either
that or he is mighty careless with the
money he has invested in the machine.
Probably there is not a driver in the
world does not fully realize that lock
ed brakes and the consequent skid rap
idly destroy tires, but it is not the
friction alone which breaks down the
fabric. Often when a wheel is skid
ded a stone or other hard substance is
caught under the tread. The result is
4 bruise, which rapidly develops into
a hole, or gives the opportunity for a
blowout.
The shock and strain on the chassis
of a car resulting from sudden and
full application of the braking power
is also detrimental and often causes
the lOosening of joints in the body.

The travel 30 far this year over the

principally to the lateness Of the hot

For Salon people making the drive
the best route is over the intcrcounty

Considering that the autoist has to back

BroOks-Salem Paving Is
Standing Heavy Tests
Say Highway Officials

Ia the past there has been deal Of
discussion pro and con as to merits of
the two-mile stretch of paving in the
vicinity of Brooks, and another near
Aurora. Occasionally there has been a
rumor that the section at Brooks was
showing weakness; but an official in
tb h'9hway department recently called
attention to the fact that this stretch
of paving had been receiving the sever
est test it would ever get from any
form of traffic, in taking the strain
of truek.loads of road materials con.
stantly going over it. The assumption
is that if il win stand this without
breeking up it will stand anything, and
the test is the more gratifying as it in
dieaies what may be expected from 9th
er units.

Police Are Now instructed To
Enforce Auto Traffic Regu-

Automobile drivers who do not dim
their lights when passing another mo-
tor vehicle, and those with cars travel
ing around at night with one eye, arc
looking for trouble. AT its session Mon
day evening the city council instruct
ed the chief Of police to enforce the
ordinance regarding the dimming of

This order was brought about By the
continual complaints from those who
have been blinded by the strong auto
lights and by those who have barely
missed accidents, due to the strong
lights.

up the speed and auto regulations in

With the carrying out Of the een-
struetion program on these two routes
this season, IL will make no difference

The latest map Of these two trunk
lines makes an interesting study. As
originally designed the west side route
was from McMinnville to Independence
by way Of Dallas and Monmouth; hut
the highway commission decided to run
the line from MeMinnville TO Mon

fishing this route II has been neees-
sary to build two spur lines east and
west--one from Salem to Dallas, and
another from Independence 70 Mon
