AUTO SHOW
TO Be A BIG Event

Portland, Or, Feb. 17.-Some idea
of the size Of the big automobile show
to be held in Portland the entire week
of February 2srd to 2Sth may be gain
ed from the fact that the Ice Palace,
where the motor car part of the show
will be held, is the largest show room
OH a single floor in the United States.
Its S60x1S0 feet without a single post
to obstruct the view, give more space
than is available for cars even on the
main floor Of the huge Coliseum bldg,
in Chicago, which is 300x120 feet in
size.
But large as it is, the Ice Palace can
accommodate only the passenger car Sec
ticn of the Portland show. A year ago,
both passenger cars and trucks were
shown on the same floor. This year
there are so many passenger car ex-
hibits, and so many special models,
that the Ice Palace will be devoted ex-
clusively to passenger cars, while the
truck will be exhibited in a separate
truck show in the Portland Armory, a
few blocks away.
The passenger car show in the Ice
Palace will be by long odds the moe,
complete ever held in Pacific North
west, and the truck show will be the
first exclusively truck event on the
Pacific coast. Both will be under man.
agement of the general show commit
taa and ono tipL Of will admit visit tors
to both shows without additional cost
In the passenger car show there will
be total of SO different makes OF
cars, to say nothing of the fact tna'
at least 176 different models will bs
shown. The Portland show will contain
almost as many different make of cars
as were exhibited at the recent New
York Show, the big event of the yeal

This unusual sign is due to the fact
that Mr.. W. E. Burns has been known

Besides his theoretical training, Mr..
Burns has had several years OF prac

All is in readiness for the second
annual auto show Of the Marion
County Automobile Dealers associa-
ton which opens with an address by
Mayor Otto Wilson and a response by
F. G. Delano, president of the asso-
citation, in the armory at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon.
From the standpoint of artistic dis
play and the exhibition of passenger
and freight carrying motor driven
vehicles, the show promises to be
one of the greatest ever staged in the
state outside of Portland Thirty
seven individual makes of cars, to
each make, are to be on exhibition
in the passenger car section of the
show, which will be on the armory
floor The trucks forced out by the
demand for passenger car space on
the floor, will be exhibited along Lib
erty street, near the armory weather
permitting.
The decorative features, which ar
to be extensive are to be one of the
chief features of the show and will
provide a wonderful setting for the
cars, The floor proper will be free of
all decorations, with the exception of
short posts here and there with
vases of cut flowers and potted plants,
because of the limits on floor space.
The room only allows of rs display
spaces, each SKIS feet, and these have
all been taken and more could be used.
Beneath the balcony, on three sides
of the room, the walls will be covered
with painted scenery depicting views
along the Columbia Highway, at Crater
Lake, Mt. Hood and other scenic points
in Oregon which are being made more
and more accessible by the auto Fes-
tooned from a common center in the
ceiling will be strings of colored lights
and, also draped from above, will be
dozens of Japanese lanterns carrying
out the colored light effect. Hanging
baskets of ferns and flowers will COM
