of the wild berries which grow so
abundantly within a few miles of Che
halis.

FACTS
The economic problem of
today is not so much a
problem of production as
it is a problem of distri
bution. In the process of
distribution the road is
the first link and that if
it is in bad condition it is
operating with the lowest
efficiency. This fact be
came apparent in Multno
ma County, and to over
come this defect it was
wisely decided to hard
surface almost all of tha
highways with that Peer
of Pavements.
