SKATERS ARM WITH sHoTGuf,

SKATERS ARM WITH SHOTGUN:
Floyd Wells, who has been work
ing for T. G. Harsine, had his hand
and arm badly shattered this morning,
when shotgun was accidentally ex-
ploded. He had been hauling hay,
and was taking the gun eff the hay
rack, when the hammer caught and
was pulled back just enough to ex-
plode the shell. The full load of shot
passed through his hand, then tore
its way through the muscles of the
right arm above the elbow. He was
taken at once to the Clarkson hos
pital, Omaha, where the physicians
will probably amputate the hand and
will perhaps find it necessary to sac
rifice the entire arm.
Mr.. Wells is 10 years of age, and
lives about 4 miles west of California
Junction.
His many friends will be shocked
to learn Of his deplorable accident.

MOTORS TO REPLACE
ELECTRICITY ON CARS
Days Of Juice Driven Street
Cars Numbered.--Gas
More Feasible.

Detroit, Mich, April s6.-The pres
ent day electrically driven street ear
is on the way to the scrap heap.
The forests of poles, innamerable
miles Of wires and cables and power
houses are doomed.
Street railway traffic will be revolu-
tionized by new street ear. motivat
ed by a gasoline engine, all of its own.
1t will carry its own power depending
on no external agency.
Cost of operation viii be reduced by
about one half. Waste Of power will
be eliminated. There will be no peak
load to worry about.
The above is in substance the belief
Of Charles E. Sorensen, general mana
ger Of the Ford tractor plant in Dear
born, Mich.
Every engineer and Failwoy mana
ger knows that the present street car
system is too imperfect TO last. - said
Sorensen. Engineers condemn the
present street railway system every.
where on the ground of expense. Ii
costs too much. Great dynames capa
bic of carrying the peak leads Of
modern traffic are required along with
tons of costly cables, food wires and
bonds made Of copper; great numbers
of poles, cross arms and hangers.
@ Besides that the weight Of the mo,
tors compel more heavily constructed
ears than the traffic really calls for.
All this leads to street danger, the
elimination of service that lighter, but
fully as strong ears could perform and
all other convenienees of which ear
riders complain. Then the destruction
wrought on underground eOnduits and
pipes by eleetrolysis is constant
source OF expense and less that every
department of public works knows. +"
The modern electric ear has been
weighed in the balance of efficiency
and found wanting.
Sorensen said his company was now
at work on gasoline engine which
win supplant the electric motor foI
street railway transportation. ''This
engine" he said, twill become the
standard power equipment. ON street
cars because. ii is cheaper The cost
Of operating the electric ear is "a
cents per car mile. The cost of operat.
ing gasoline propelled car Of the
same capacity is 12 cents.
To retain the old low rate of cal
fares, ears must be operated at a lower
cost and the gasoline driven car solv
es the problem, Sorensen said.

THIRTY-SIX CHANGES
feature NEW ELGINS

Something more than Imeehanical
genius is responsible for the thirty six
improvements and refinements in the
new Elgin Six series II, which is at.
tracing much attention.
Ordinarily it is up to the design.
ers and engineers in the big factories
OF the nation TO produce new body and
engine effects and to them usually goes
the credit for every new departure in
motor car building" says Lee l.. Gill
bert, Elgin Six distributor "But in
the ease Of the Car of the Hour, as
the new Elgin six is known the 80
Improvements are the result of what.
Elgin dealers from the Atlantic TO tho
Canadian border and to the gulf have
suggested to the Elgin Motor Car cor
iporation.
"Only few days ago Darwin Hatch,
editor Of the Motor Age, during a visit
TO the Elgin factory in Chicago, mar.
veled at the new features embodied in
the six. He expressed a desire TO know
how the changes had been made, and
in a conversation with G. H. Reiman,
president and general manager Of the
Elgin company, declared it rather re.
markable that the Elgin engineers were
able to work out so many improve
ments in a car which already had es.
tablshed records for economy, speed
and stamina.
"Then Mr.. Hatch called 10 mind the
|gruelling master drivers contest in 1916
when he rode in an Elgin six as Off
cial observer during a run in which
only one other ear besides the Elgn
/ registered a perfect score, returning
+ to the city under its own power de-
spite terrible road conditions. Since
you have watched the Elgn from its
start and are familiar with tho car and
organization. / am going to let you in
on little secret, Mr.. Hatch, said
President Reiman.
The Elgin engineers did not act
ually decide upon the 80 improvements
and reiinements embodied in the new
model 1t was the automobile buying
public that made this decision for US.
1t has always been the policy Of the
Elgin company 10 build the kind Of a
ear the public wants, and we set out
to learn exactly what the need was.
We found this ont through the only
criterion whose Judgment along these
/ lines can be relied up0n-the automo-
bile dealers. They are the results Of
suggestion sent TO ms by Elgin dealers
from the Atlantic 20 thf Pacific and
from the Canadian border TO the gulf.
The dealers are out on the firing line
and are familiar with the performance
Of the ear under every conceivable
condition. Their desires represent
what the final iudge--the automobile
buyers--demand in car.
You will see. therefore, that the
Elgin engineering and manufacturing
staffs are entitled to all the credit for
working out the details Of the 80 i'm
proyements, but the dealers are pri-
marily responsible through their sug-
gestions TO us. F"

New State Lighting
Law Is Sinplified

Automobile lighting regulations in
the new Oregon motor code, passed by
the last legislature, are very simple.
There are no involved restrictions on
the kind Of lights that may be used, no
long technical discussions of REFLECTED
light" and "diffused light" as in the
new Washington law.
About the only worry the Oregon nv
torist need give TO his lights is to see
that he has a white tail light and two
white headlights, visible for at least
200 feet ahead, and to be dimmed on
meeting approaching vehicles.
If the ear is not equipped with Il dim
ming device, then the law makes it
compulsory on the ear owner TO have
spotlight, 50 adjusted as to throw its
light 10 the right side Of the highway
downward and so adjusted as not to
blind occupants Of an approaching We
hicle. This spotlight, where the lights
have DINNERS, is to be substituted for
the lights when approaching and pass
ing other vehicles.
About the only ears nowadays that do
not have dimming devices are FOrds
mare prior to 1913 and older cars Of
other makes. Their owners must obtain
spotlight.
Old Gas Lights Not Dimmed.
The law exempts ears not equipped
with electric light from the spotlight
requirement, and owners Of such cars
do not have to dim headlights in pass
ing another car.
This lighting provision Of the new
law was written by NJ. o. wilkins, pub
Usher of the Automobile Record and
president of the Dealers Motor Car
association of Oregon.
Contrary to the supposition Of many
motorists, this new motor code is right
now in effect. The reason therefore
is that it was passed by the legislature
with an emergency clause, which made
il effective as soon as approved sy the
governor.
Consequently, 30 miles an hour in
stead of the old 25 is now the legal
speed limit on Oregon highways. Une
Of the provisions Of the new code in
eerases the sped limit from 25 to 30
miles, thus conforming to requirements
in California and most other states.
Another interesting provision Of the
new law gives state, county or city au-
thorities having jurisdiction the power
TO authorize speed contests. No such
contests may be held without permits
from the proper authorities, however,
and the course must be fully and eff
ciently patrolled for its entire disisnee.

D. S. TIRE COMPANY
STARTS war ON CLASS
Motorists Urged To Garry
Small Broom As Part Of
Equipment.

Pointing cut the damage needlessly
done BY broken glass scattered along
the roads the United States Tire com
pany, represented in Salem by the
Quaekenbush Auto Supply company, IS
urging all automobile and motorcycle
owners to carry a small broom with
them as part of their equrPmeut. The
idea being that when a driver sees
pieces Of broken glass in the road he
should stop hop out and brush the lit
tie sttire enemies off the highway,
If each motorist would follow such
a policy il would not be necessary
for the average man TO remove glass
more than a few times a year.
When cluster Of broken bits Of
glass is allowed to remain on a high
way until it has been carried away
embedded in tires probably hundrecs
of ears have their tires moie or less
injured. If it is removed by the first
man who sees it, hundreds Of other
machines are free from danger Of tire
trouble.
The automobile club of Wilkesbarre,
Pa, is the first in the country to adopt
this suggestion. At a recent meeting
of the club the members committed
themselves to the glass removing pro
gram. Each member Of the club will
keep a careful record as to the mum
Der of times he has to stop 10 remove
glass and will also try to form judg-
ment as to how the glass came to be
on the road. Other clubs are expected
to follow their example and enroll
their members as knights of the
broom.
One thing IS certain-the person who
drops bottles on the highway for the
pleasure Of hearing them break has
become very unpopular and is going
TO become moro so.
