Many Local Auto Owners Would Have Enjoyed Detail Storjr. H was no fault of locarcommittees that automobile men of La Grande failed to get . opportunity to hear the proposed national highways discussed yesterday when A. L. Westgart, the famous government traveler, was in La Grande. A man on a mission of this sort usually makes it a point to make himself known when he arrives in a city on a public mission of this sort and it was by the merest accident that Secretary A. V. Andrews even got a glimpse of the traveler. While Mr, Westgart was. informed of the fact that the committee had v; been awaiting ..his arrival that the local auto owners might hear him explain his purpose. There wasn't even grunt of approval Westgard is anything but a . press agent and cer tainly anything but congenial when he would spend an entire day in the city with no attempt to meet the citi zens. Many La Granders were disap pointed in the man's lack of mixing spirit. .

LAj GRANDE IRON WORKS D. gjTZCERALD, Proprietor ' COMPLETE MACHINE SHOPS AND FOUNDRY .The good roads workers of Denver believe in the old adage, "While there's life there's hope," for they have entered upon a new and most strenuous campaign to land the Lin coln Memorial highway for Colorado. While it has been unofficially announc ed that the Midland trail was hope less so far as becoming a part of the Lincoln highway, the Denver Motor club is going to discover and survey the new route ' through the ; state which will be made the Colorado- Utah link in the ocean-to-ocean bou lav&rd. La Grande to Denver will then be an easy ride when the road that A. L. Westgard is urging becomes a reality. . . ., .- 1 .- ,.- Announcement to this effect was made a few days ago and already preparations are under way to send an automobile out of Denver, equipped for the work. Two routes between Denver and Salt Lake will be gone over and com plete maps made of them. Both will include a part of the Midland trail as it is laid out at present, 'and will pass through the greater part of Col orado s delightful mountain scenery, One of the routes which will be in vestigated will branch off the Midland trail at Kremmling and go north through , Steamboat Springs, . thence west through Craig, the "K" ranch. on the Calorado-Utah state line, and Vernal, into Salt Lake. The other route will leave the Mid land trail at Rifle ' and go north through Meeker, connecting with the former road at the "K" ranch and fol lowing it the remainder of the dis tance to the Utah capital. Such an outlet will make easier a continental trip with the proposed highway and certainly be a much more scenic route. fhl Sr!vrLi I?

I tVENAHA LUMBER COMPANY , The Texas appellate court has de cided that a srarsffe cannot hold a motor ca to force payment of a bill for repairs. The case was that of T. J. Caldwell vs. the Auto Sales and Supply company ' v : : Caldwell claims he left his car with the company for repairs with, tbe understanding that the charges should not exceed $100. When he came to take the car out he was presented with a bill for $196.62. He refused to pay the sum and the company brought suit for its recovery. The countjd court gave the company judgment, which wa.s reversed by the appellate court. . "Some people have the idea that excessive heat causes expansion of the air within an automobile tire," says L. C. Roockhill of the Goodyear Tire company. "They consequently keep their tires under-inflated, being afraid of blowouts from excessivo pressure and resulting injuries. "This is a popular, fallacy which seems at present to be firmly fixed in the minds of automobile users. There never was a more ridiculous or costly idea entertained by tire users. "It is impossible for the air in a tiro to expand BUfficintly from heat to cause dangerous strain and no harm need be feared on this score. How ever, the damage to trres by keeping them under-inflated is tremendous. "Our entire organization is endeav oring to disabuse the minds of auto mobile owners on this subject and ed ucate tire users to keep their tires at all times inflated to the recommended pressures." says S. D. Waldon of the good roads committee of the National Automo bile chamber of commerce. "Concrete is the last word in efficient and dur able surface at not too great a cost, and gravel the best farmers' road at the minimum expense. I think it is waste of time to built roads of anything betteivthan gravel and not as good as concrete. "Permanent highways cost less in the long run than macadam and oth- types of temporary roads. The first cost is greater, but their annual cost of upkeep is far less and they have a much longer life.

About four years ago it built a complete new road, one half of ' concrete, and the rest of macadam. The macadamized portion had to be completely repaired at the end of two years' service, as it had become badly cut up by heavy traffic. The cement road is in perfect condi tion today and appears to be good for many years to come.
