The appointment of Paquet as the sole Haynes representative fhroughout Oregon is one of the results of Cochran's recent tour of the northwest territory in which he also established as his special representative W.

Powell will make- his headquarters In Portland, but will keep in close touch with the conditions throughout the states of Oregon. Washington.

The firm of Paquet and Peck, which hitherto has handled the Havnes cars in that territory, hbs been dissolved and J. A.

To successfully hand's the growing Haynes business in the Beaver state, Faquet has in his favor what Is regarded as the finest automobile garage and service buildings in Portland.

A. Forster, commercial manager, in charge of sales of the new Maxwell Motor Company, Is having his baptism; of fire and he says he likes It Having come Into the automobile business from a more conservative line, Mr.

Forster is having hlg first experience with a dealer's stampede a phenomenon for which there is no parallel in other lines of 'business. The stampede Is the direct and the logical outcome of the announcement last week of the new Maxwell Model "26," at a price previously unheard of for a car of this power and passenger capacity. "I have been accustomed to selling to pushing the product," says Forster in a letter to Arthur C. 'Hull, tlie Maxwell dealer in Oakland. And to have a horde of dealers swoop on one and try to take it away is a novel experience.

"The new 25' is a success from a selling as well as a mechanical standpoint that's certain now. Our only problem is to allot the possible output of 25,000 cars for the first year, equitably, and to kep the clamorous dealers "Thanks to our splendid factory facilities and production organization, we will be delivering demon strators of this model within a week, anl while we cannot hope to supply full demand, we do hope to keep dealers In good humor by delivering proportion of the cars or- derea.

Many Functions of Auto Tire Embodied in Rubber Casings. (By J. D.

ANDERSON, General Sales Manager United States Tire Co.) Many experts, thoroughly convers ant with every detail of the situatloni maintain that the automobile never will' rest satisfactorily on any other footing than the pneumatic tire. Others, perhaps equally well informed, are not so sure that this Is a fact But of one thing we are all sure that up to the present time nothing practical has been created to supplant sue ha highly reslllant substance as rubber in conjunction with compressed air, to providing a foundation for the motor car. The duties of an automobile tire are more exacting than the casual observer may Imagine. Perhaps the first quality to be taken Into account is that of endurance. A tire must be so constructed and made of such materials that it will yield a satisfactory mileage return on the cash Investment This -of mileage service is the jddb which appeals with particular force to the "car owner.

However, "there are other essentials, which while probably not so conspicuous, by their presence, would be decidedly conspicuous should they be eliminated byAth llrr manufacturer. f' f'. Resiliency Is -an important feature of the pneumatic tire. This la the quality that absorbs the shocks of the road, furnishing riding not only to the passengers, but protecting the engine and mechanism of the car as well. Without resiliency a tire cannot performVits most important functions and the whole structure of the motor car suffers In consequence.

It is in the lack of this element of resiliency that most 'of the patented substitutes for air and rubber fall dawn. For easy riding and for af fording complete protection all parts of the car pneumatic tires, at least up to- the present time, stand supreme. The tires of an automobile must withstand all the force and impact of the engine in starting, driving and stopping the car; they must carry weight resist wear, withstand the heat generated by friction with road surfaces and the resistance of the brakes in stopping the can Further- more they must be so constructed as to permit of quick removal and ready substitution. All of these qualities pneumatic tlrest as they are made under our advanced methods of manufacture, pos The -only, argument against them is that they will puncture and they will wear out However, no substitute has yet been' offered which combines all of the advantages of the pneumatic ttre with greater lasting qualities at less cost STATE MOTORCYCLE PATROL. Having found motorcycles of nrlme value, in policing cities and counties.

Kansas baa gone a sten further and has made the entire State a unit for motorcycle police work. The organization of a State-wide motorcycle patrol, now being perfected, will make Kansas too hot a place for lawbreakers of every desree. Under the plan which is being worked ont the organization will have one or more motorcyclemen in each city and town men who will be ready to respond quickly to anv call. No matter what portion of the State finds the sudden need of fcwlft pursuit oT a criminal there will be available motorcyclists who can take the trail at short notice and overtake "anything on wheels."

Intelligent Application Solution of All the Truck Problems. "The selling of motor trucks la merely the Internment application- of the truck to the Job or problem," says L.

L. le Jonarh. general manager of the Pioneer Motor Truck Corporation. "Some companies manufacture varying sixes In trucks, while our company manufactures the only complete line In sixes and models known, 'Therefore, with us, every truck prospect Is a prospect for us, and as we have no bones to pick regarding the slxe or design he wishes to use, it Is merely a matter of selecting from our assortment the most economical and convenient truck for his service. "To these subjects, we are devoting a vart amount of study, and Increasing our efficiency dally to act In a consulting capacity with our customer.

We And that the mere sale of a motor truck is secondary. What the customer wishes to purchase is what he needs, and what he needs. Is proper else and design and the service to keep htm in running order. These are the things required, tnd if he fails to buy same, no matter what he has. he has invested his money In a useless piece a( raachinery.

'VThere nre, if course, limitations to the business and types of motor trucks, and It Is even necessary for the customer to co-operate with the builder, and where the builder has done everything in his power to adjust a certain truck to nil the needs of the oastbmer, and has still failed to cover all Jhe points. It Is up to the customer to readjust his business sufficiently to meet the truck-builder half way. This Is to the mutual advantage of both, and following out the lines of progress and advancement of the American Industries. "With- the proper co-operative spirit on both sides this can always be arranged, as personally, I have never known of an Instance save in country hauling where the narrowness of the road was prohlbl-tlve to a sufficient tread to maintain the capacity of load desired. The truck-builder, of: course, cannot provide roads for his truck to run on; he can merely adapt it to the standards of average road building, and where average roads do not exist, trucks cannot be used." DAILEY TELLS OF Industry's Progress Related Fro mthe One to Six Cylinder.

"The modern motor car Is a true Evolution," says F. H. Dailey, the Premier car dealer In Oakland. "As we look back upon Its development, step by step, we wonder why the early manufacturers did things as they did. Why the rear entrance to the tonneau.

After this was abandoned and we entered at Oie side, why did we leave doors off the car, unless it be that we were still under the influence of the carriage builders' Ideas, as it will be remembered that In our old surreys the seats were unprotected at the, side. "Conditions changed, however. We enclosed the tonneau with doors, but we still left the front seats exposed, and It was not until two years ago that the public most sensibly demanded that we enclose both front and rear seats. "Experts have wondered why the development from one cylinder cars to two cylinder cars, from these to the four and to the six, was so slow, because It was almost universally agreed among them that the six-cylinder car was ideal from, the standpoint of operating economy; the shack was less on the tires and pn driven parts: the riding comfort and mechanical control was superior. And yet.

It has taken all of the years from the beginning of the industry up to probably a year ago for any great number of sutomoblle manufacturers! to begin the solution of the many 1 problems of successfully building 1 Sixes. "Four or five companies, among whom was the Premier Motor Manufacturing Company, began the building of six-cylinder cars seven or eight years ago. They met many mechanical difficulties, but by the process of elimination, they hav developed, strengthening their engineering here and there, a perfect working Six with the result that these cars have- completely crowded out their four-cylinder product until they now produce nothing but Sixes. "Then came the demand for a popular priced Six and It was the Prem-tler Little 61x which became and Is now the' sensation or the year because th Premier Company was 'the first high grade company to hold Its standard of manufacture, but who because of the lack of bonded indebtedness and excessive organization overhead, could list the car at a price popular wltlh the public. This was a psychologically timed move and the result is that the distributors of the Premier cairs find it almost impossible to Biippiy the demand.

"The public wants Sixes. It also will no longer pump tires by" hand. The equipment of the modern motor car must include tire infiaters. Prem-ielr has also cleaned unsightly obstructions on the ruhnlng board, such as tires and tool boxes; they must go, on all up-to-date cars; extended hinges are passed, and the car of the future will be as clean sMed as the modern yacht." MOTORCYCLISTS APPROVE. Announcement that Denver Is to en- tertaln the annual meeting of the Feder ation of (i American Motorcyclists, July so ao August 1, has brought many ex presslons of satisfaction and approval from motorcycle riders.

-It has been some time since a meet has been held In the west, and In the mean time that section of the country has developed into a literal stronghold of mo torcycllng. Again, motorcyclists look forward with pleasure to the tour preceding the con vention. These tours wilt start from, perhaps, four or five points, centering at Denver. The tourists will have an oppor. tunlty to enjoy some tf the finest seen, erv In the country a point which they are not overlooking.

Denver Is known to them as a city that entertains Its guests in a royal manner. And, since the InvltajUon to the motorcyclists came from almost every public official anc almost every civic and obmaier- sflal in Denver, the F. A. feel that they have been "really" invited and that they will be bmn the time of their lives. MOTOR EVO DTI ei BERT OAKE9 AT THE WHEEXj TRCCK JUST BROUGHT OCT COMPANY.

ARRIVES! CITY Arthur Hull Gets First "35" Models From Factory This Year. One of the most welcome arrivals of the week of the new motor ear models was the new Maxwell "35" four cylinder touring cars that were received by the Maxwell Sales Agency of Oakland. The new "35" Maxwell cars that have just been received are the first of their type to be seen on the coast 'The interest shown by autolsts in the new cars is very gratifying," says A. Hull, head of the local Maxwell Interests. "Since the Maxwell company reorganised and started to build popular priced cars on such a large scale, the motoring public has been eager to see the new products of the huge factory under the guiding genius of Walter E.

Flanders. "Until the new "S5" care arrived last week we were able to get only the larger models, but from now on the factory has promised to ship in larger quantities and get many carloads on the road en rout to the coast shortly. At the present time we are making deliveries moderately but by the middle of July we expect to get well caught up with the orders that we are booking. I would advise those contemplating buying one of the new Max well cars to book their orders as soon as they possibly can for It will save much delay later when they want to use the car.
