"Five years ago I had the worst case of chronic constlpalton I ever knew of and Chamberlain's Tablets cured me," writes S. F. Fish, Brook lyn, Mich. For sale by all dealers. To buy the old Barlow road through the Cascade mountains near Mt. Hood, Improve the same at once and with that and some other work provide a road whereby people may travel by auto from Portland Into any Eastern Oregon town and vice versa Is the object of a move that is now being launched and has some very enthusiastic b.ickero. Dan P. Smythe, a Pendleton law yer and sheepman who has been en listed In the plan, discussed It yes lerday for publication as follows: "The Barlow road was bult In early days and Is yet a toll road. It extends through the mountains and is In very good condition as far as Mt. Hood. The eastern end of the road, however, has been neglected for years. Some Portland people o Influence, among them Mrs. D. P. Thompson, Walter Burrell, H. Wem me and other members of the Port land auto club desire to see tlio toll road purchased and a public highway provided at once to Eastern OreRon. It Is represented fie Barlow road may be had very cheaply." The plan Is to have the Portland people take care of the road through the Cascade and to the Wasco county line. Then for each county in East ern Oregon to look after that portion1 of the road within Its boundaries. It will not be necessary to establish any new roads or to do any expensive work anywhere. Malcolm Moody says that the road through Wasco county can be maintained ery easily and the the work will be done. The route to Pendleton will be via Olex, Hepp ner and Pilot Rock. By taking this course the sand will be avoided and a hard highway may be used. From Pendleton to La Grande the road now In use may be utlllxed and It will only be necessary to see that it is kept Id shape. The same will be true of the road over from Heppner. Through very little expense on the part of the county courts or through use ot mon- : ey raised by subscription the roads 1 can be kept In good shape for auto travel during the fair weather season. Boon to Roundup. "Portland people want to see this road arranged for this sumnior if possible so that this fall they can make the run to Pendleton by auto and attend the Roundup. . Last fall a number of Portlanders came by au to, shipping their machines by boat to The Dalles. But they had mucb trouble coming over sandy roads and It is desired to get a highway farther back from the river. The Portland I autolsts would like to see a road pro- vlded that will permit of a trip to j Eastern Oregon as easlly: as the run I to Southern Oregon may be made. I 'Many would like to go by auto aa far I as Baker and back via Burns and the Interior. The highway from Port j land to Pendleton would be very con I venlent for Umatilla county folk who like to go to the coast by auto and cannot well do so at present." According to Mr. Smythe! he will lay the highway plan before the lo- ! cal auto clubs shortly In hopes that some action may be taken towards assuring the promoters of the plans that Eastern Oregon people will do their part In the event the scheme is taken up.
