EARL FRANZ is
BUICK 4 ENTHUSIAST

Since the announcement of Buick 4,
Earl Franz talks of nothing else. In
fact neighbors say he talks about it in
his sleep so loud as to be heard several
houses away.
After seeing the new Buick 4 dis
mantled in Portland at a dealers
meeting, he claims there is nothing
that will touch it as to accessibility
and workmanship.
with its long stroke motor, says
Mr.. Franz, ''it acts more like a six
than a four and the way she rides, oh
boy! Just like a Pullman car. The
thing that worries him most is factory
delivery. They are selling insight, un-
seen.
eve are taking orders and have de-
posits on all cars that are coming up
till October 10, while in Portland or
ders were taken for 104 in three days.
In talking with Mr.. Dean, manager of
Howard Auto Co., Buick distributors
of Portland, said, why do they buy
this new Buick without ever a look un-
der the hood. That's easy said Mr..
Dean. They know that the Buick
name plate on car is like the bond
on paper. They take no chance with
that name plate on the car they buy"

SPRAY MAN HAS
PRAISE FOR VALLEY

John C. Hull, secretary and sales
manager of the Friend Manufacturing
Co.. operating one of the nations larg-
est plants for making orchard spray
machinery, declares that Hood River
has sold herself to him as result of a
visit of a few days here with +. A.
Olmstead and A. b. Bennett, of the
Hood River Spray Co., representatives
of the manufacturing concern.
"Our efforts at tying up in bust
ness way with Northwestern orchard
districts resulted more last year from
curiosity than anything else, says
MIR. Hull, who is pioneer in the man
ufacture of spray machinery. I'VE
thought that the growers of these dis
tricts would tell US that we were too
far away to ship our implements here
and compete with concerns located
closer. But we have found the North
western grower the most eager of any
III the country to secure efficient ma
chinery and apply scientific methods.
We are glad that we were ruled by our
curiosity.
Mr.. Hull. who made the first power
spray machine and the first spray gun,
both now in universal use in orchard
districts, pays a very high compliment
to Oregon orchardists.
"YOu growers out here are on a
! higher plane than are we fruit men
! back in New York state. where | own
orchards. You take as much care of
/ individual trees as does a stock fancier
of members of his herd of cows or
horses. You know those trees. You
grieve if anything happens to them.
And you can beat US for apples of
quality. You also get color that we
can never attain. We can only produce
apples that are characterized chiefly
by their quantity in our eastern com
mercial districts.
MIR. Hull says he sees no reason why
Northwestern growers should not Sc
cure good prices for their fruit. Apples,
he says, are now selling from New
York orchards at SIS and Sc per barrel
and on the Buffalo market, he says,
apples of good, clean quality are
bringing So per bushel.
'In view of these prices back
there" says Mr.. Hull. 81 cannot see
why you growers of this section, where !
the fruit is of such high quality, would |
not get excellent figures.
81 believe that you will eventually |
be shipping huge quantities of apples
by water to New York City. Our plant |
is located on barge canal at Gasport |
and we contemplate ultimately ship
ping our machines to the Pacific coast |
by way of the Panama canal.

Engine-24-A. Daily, or every 100
miles, pour fresh Zeroene No. into
crankcase through filler pipe until oil
level guage on crankcase registers
''full. Avoid overfilling. Best re-
suits will be obtained if the oil level is
maintained between half full" and
'full' marks on the guage. To get a
correct reading of the oil level guage,
the automobile should be approximate
ly level and the engine not running.
When engine is running, the oil pres
sure indicator on dash should show
pressure which will vary with the
speed and temperature of the engine.
If no pressure is registered, the indica-
tion is lack of oil in crankcase, oil
pump not working properly. or some
obstruction or break in oil passages.
The engine should Immediately be
stopped and the trouble located and
remedied.
At regular intervals. as recommend
ed by the manufacturer, or, in the abb
sence of such instructions. every $50
miles, the oil in the crankcase reser-
voir should be entirely renewed in the
following manner: First, remove
drain plug in bottom of crankcase, al
lowing all old oil to drain. This should
preferably be done when engine is
warm, as the old oil when heated will
drain faster, and less of it will adhere
to the inner surfaces of the crankcase.
Next. replace drain plug and pour four
quarts of Calol Flushing Oil into
crankcase through filler pipe. Then
start and operate the engine under its
own power at moderate idling speed
for from one to two minutes, by which
time all oil passages and inner sur
faces will have been cleansed by the
action of the flushing oil. Again re-
move drain plug and when certain that
crankcase is thoroughly drained, re-
place plug and refill crankcase reser- /
voir with fresh ZeTolene Oil as speci-
fed. Approximately six quarts Of oil
are required. Before refilling with
fresh oil, the strainer or screen sur
rounding the oil pump intake should be
removed, thoroughly cleaned and re-
placed. When filling the reservoir |
through filler pipe, care should be /
taken that no foreign matter is carried |
into the engine with the fresh oil.

Plans for the organization of $50,
600 company by local business men to
undertake the purchase and operation
of government sub chaser on a com
binej freight and passenger run be-
tween The Dalles and Portland has
been placed before chamber directors
by Secretary Van Schoick at the re
quest of Mayor P. j. Stadleman.
Mayor Stadleman is willing to head
the company with the purchase of
81, 900 worth of stock and j. l.. Kelly
has also signifed his willingness to in
vest 900.
The money would be used to pur-
chase one of the speedy eagle boats
from the government at a cost of ap-
proximately $4,000. The remainder
of the 500. 900 would be expended in
the purchase of docking facilities and
for other expenses incident to putting
the vessel into service it was pointed
out.
Chamber directors decided to seek
further details about the project before
taking any definite action. The matter
was placed in the hands of the transpor-
tation committee for further investi-
cation and a report at a later meeting.

Clipped Here and There

''Bill" Doyle, prospector and trap
per, slept in a hotel in Spokane for the
first time in his 67 years, when he en-
tered the Coeur d'Alene a few days
ago. 1t was the first time he occupied
bed in half century, according to
Clutch Jake" Goetz, who drove logs
with him on the Clearwater river Al
years ago.
"He allowed the electric light to
burn all night because of fear that
something would explode if he touched
it. and on arising climbed from the
second floor upward in an effort to
leave the house," said Mr.. Goetz.
"Only when he saw women enter an
elevator did he enter the cage. He
seemed to be mystified on stepping out
into the lobby.

he was going out on the rocks to find a
place to sleep and, knowing him pretty
well, | did not try to dissuade him, but
two hours later he returned with his
