There haa been a supreme smugness In the Pacific highway nii'ii; The general attitude Deemed to bo that of course; the Pacific would be tho greatest, moat Important nnd carry the heaviest traffic of any Oregon route. . There could bo no doubt, we seemed to think, thai the hlghwny building' authorities would give this highway the moat attention In Die way of rebuilding nnd iuoiIoi nUliig. Tliu niulu travel would certainly be over tlitsjold established and direct lloirli and aouth route through the stale, we assumed. .--f .

An other, through highway, : a very scenic one, haa been completed on the const. Improvements have bueu made on both ends of 99 providing acceaa : to . the other routes but little haa been done to luiprovo the 15(1 milt section In the center of the atate. The traffic instead. -of conttnu lug to use Iho old established Pa cific highway route haa rapidly learned of the olhera'and Is using them. Hut we are awakening. The very well attended meeting of the Pa cific Highway association Monday Indicated an interest Hint lias not existed heretofore. Nearly all' of the principal Pacific highway com munities weru represented. Thoy Inlkeil or raising u large budget mid there was no haggling over pennies.
