Riley, the association's vice-oresldent for Oregon, at the weekly luncheon of the Live Wires or the Commercial Club Tuesday made an earnest address to the local organization.

Mr. Riley exhibited pages of newt- paper clippings. In which interviews of prominent men were printed, prais ing the central Oregon roads and crit icislng the thoroughfares of the val ley. Ho urged prompt attention of the people of Clackamas County and other sections of the Willamette Val ley, and his appeal met with prompt response, the Live Wires unanimous ly adopting the resolution or Mr. T.
