Ford Is Making
Experiments In
Development OF
Rail Equipment

According to Ed Rudolph, Henry
Ford is working diligently on the
problem of railway transportation
He states that Henry Ford has pur-
chased two standard railway loco
motives and is tearing them to pieces
in the Dearborn experimental lab
oratories in an effort TO see where
they are too heavy and cumbersome.
Mr.. Ford says: II see no reason why
a locomotive should weigh zoo tons
instead of 100 tons. And there is no
reason why the weight Of freight and
passenger cars should not be halYed.
II is not MIR. Ford's idea to abolish
the steam engine entirely in favor OF
gasoline driven cars. but 1t is
planned to coordinate the two.
"The Dearborn, gasoline driven
railway coach built at the Ford fac
tory. weighs half as much as the
ordinary interurban car and holds
the rails when rounding q curve at
65 miles an hour.
IF Mr.. Ford's plans are success
ful. it will mean lower. operating costs
and substantial reductions in freight
and passenger rates eventually.

Eve dollars and an idea was the
start of what is today one of the
largest accessory businesses in the
world, the Western Auto supply
company. This great concern operates
a total of 38 big, busy stores IN as
many live and important cities of the
West. The annual business done
by these stores aggregates more than
| five millions of dollars, while the
profits of the business are distributed
among over 1000 stockholders, nearly
all of which are in the West.
In 1909, when this enterprise was
started, the accessory business was
a new thing. AS the use OF the motor
| car became gradually universal. the
need of dependable accessories kept
pace, until today this industry stands
/ well toward the front among the i'm
portant industries of the United
| States.
| 1t is planned to continue the pro-
gram of expansion with an immediate
| goal of 100 stores and with yearly
| business nearly doubling that of the
| present year.
The gradual growth Of this organl-
zation is an interesting story, the re-
| capitulation of which will interest al
| auto owners.
Eariy In 1903, George Pepperdine
then % wears old. a bookkeeper III
Kansas city, Missouri, conceived ar
idea that an auto accessory and tire
business could be done successfully
| by mail and through retail stores
He had no capital but thought tha'
| IL the idea was right, way would ot
| found to make the business sue
cess.
During the first months trial o
his idea, at the same time keeplnl
his job as bookkeeper his proilti
amounted to about 500 and this sun
he used to start an accessory store
Kansas City, Missouri.
Business was slow at first. ~ va
hard struggle when looked paci
upon, but within the year the futer'
took on a brighter aspect.
In 1912 an opportunity came TO Sc
cure O better location in the busines
heart of the city.
In 1914 the Pharis Tire & Ruppe
company, Newark, Ohio, began max
ing tires and from the very begin
ming the Western Auto supp.
Agency, as il was called at that time
was it's best customer. In fact. I'M
concern still uses from so to 70 Pc
cent of the factory's output. 81.
In 1915 Mr.. Pepperdine started

tional stores. Early in 1916 he move

approximately 100000 motor vehi-
cles in the United States, one million
OF which are trucks. OF this total
farmers own 2S50,000 cars and l50,-
600 trucks. There are 1900 pubic
motor express lines and 10000 motor
busses in operation. The estimate
Of the chamber covering passenger
carving shows that about six billion
Messengers were carried during the
year by motor cars and 1.2O0,00OVO0
tons of freight by motor truck. Street
railway lines using motor busses now
number 35 and II steam railroads
own motor busses with Hanged
wheels.
Tires produced last year numbered
19.379,OO0. while inner tubes reached
the immense total of 24,157,000. An
increase in the production OF $50

estimate which shows that 1871 saw
536.014,000 barrels Of gasoline pro-
duced, and the consumption IN
creased SO per cent. -.

TRUCK OWNERS

Through inquiries for advice from
motor truck owners in every part OF
the country. the technical service de-
partment Of the United States Tire
company has found that where
chronic tire trouble is encountered in
truck service the trouble is due in
most cases to one of two reasons;
Either the tire is not suited to the
type of work in which it is used, or
the tire is misused by overlooking,
speeding or in some other way.

SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES.
Washington is fortunate in having

Washington is fortunate in having a
we'll balanced supreme court made up
of men Of erudite judicial minds who
have demonstrated their ability and
efficiency by their records while on
the bench. No faint has ever rested
upon the state supreme court and de
cisiOns rendered by that court have
been noted for their fairness and JUS
lice. Four of the members are stand
ing for reelection at the coming pri-
mary election and they should receive
the united support of all classes of
voters. The attorneys of the state are
almost unanimous in their support of
the four old members who are up
again for reelection as will be seen in
the following article taken from the
Spokesman-Review:
Prominent lawyers throughout the
state will work for the retention of
Supreme Judges Fullerton, Parker,
Macintosh and Hovey, who are candi-
dates for reelection. according to plans
made at Tacoma following the meeting
of the State Bar association. The or
ganization will open headquarters in
the l.. c. Smith building, Seattle. and
will conduct an active campaign
among lawyers and voters in all parts
of the state.
The following statement was issued
by the organization Through Tom S.
Patterson, secretary, Seattle:
However high his natural ability
may be. the Judge who is genuinely
qualified for his work must have had
considerable judicial experience
"We, therefore strongly urge that
every effort Of the bar be directed to-
ward asking the people of the state to
retain in office judges whose services
nave been satisfactory to the common
wealth.
I'VE believe that when, as in the
case of judges Mark A. Fullerton, EN-
NETT N. Parker, Kenneth Macintosh
and Chester r. Hovey, members Of the
court, have gained experience invalu-
able to the performance of their duties
and have proved themselves worthy
of confidence, they should be spared
undue participation in political con.
tests. as was intended by the people
of the state when partisanship was
eliminated from the judiciary"
In issuing the statement the organi
cation also directed attention to the
fact that judges who receive major.
| ity of the vote in the primary, are, in
effect, elected. being placed upon the
November ballot unopposed.

One day during the past week a
stranger accosted lady on the streets
of Oroville. Whether this man had lost
his reason through drink or felt that
because this is small town and he
hailed from city he could with i'm
punity insult an unprotected woman,
is not known. We have lived in LOOMS
and Oroville for some twenty-five
years and this is the first time we
have known of a female to be openly
insulted on the public street. In early
days there were roughnecks, and lots
of them in LOOMS, yet not one of them
was ever guilty Of such contemplate
actions as to approach a woman other
than in the way of kindness. Those
men respected wOmanhOod and the
man who would have insulted a wo-
IMAM in their presence would have
faired badly. The same can be said OF
the manhood of Oroville, and Oroville
has not always been altogether shy Of
men of doubtful reputation. We note
this isolated instance with humilia-
ton as we'll as disgust and trust that
il may never again be repeated.
