A National hiehwav 10.000 miles long, circling the United States and running strategically near the Pa cific, Alantic and Gulf Coasts as well as our northern and southern border lines, will be constructed and main tained by the Federal Government, if the bill introduced into Congress by Representative William D. Stepnens of California is adopted. . It is proposed that, the new high wav. which mainly is to h construct ed for National Defense, shall cross the United States, (running Eastward by the most practical route through California, Arizona, New Mexico and the Gulf States to Jacksonville, Flori da; thence North through the Alantic Coast states or Portland, Maine, wm mencing again at New York City the great roadway would .run Westward tihroukh New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana to- Chicago; thence North to St. Paul, and West througn the Dakota s, Montana, Idaho, 'Wash ington and at Seattle branch south the length of the Pacific Coast to San Diego. . ' It is also proposed to bind the points to the main highway by using the various links now formed or con templated. Eevev City in this part of the country would be pn either a main or branch road connecting with the great highways which already span the country from Atlantic to racinc. The various sections tnrougn which the proposed National highway would run can be irelied on to give their State and County highway systems already constructed to the government, provided the latter main tains and extends these roads. It is estimated that a bond issue of $100,000,000 will be ample to main tain the roads already built, and to construct such links as will be need ed in the next fifty years. The sup ervision of roads will be in the hands of United States engineers, and will provide work for at least 100,000 Am erican citizens, who must be physi cally eligible for active service in the Army. , ' Walter E. Flanders, strategy stu dent, and head of the great Maxwell Motor Company, has stated that if this country ever goes to war again it will go in an automobile. There are many spots on our coasts avail able for the landing of hostile forces, nut not accessible to the railroad. But there are no landing places on our Coasts which are out of reach of '.he autoobiles over the country roads Over which like, powerfuA cars like the Maxwell are able to travel handily the year round. "This year's output of the Maxwell factory at Detroit would amply pro vide for the transportation of an army of 400,000 real "minute men at light ening speed", .asserted Bob Leighton local Maxwell dealer, in discussing the National Defense Highway. "Figur ing on the performance of a Maxwell in California recently in running 22,- 022 miles without a stop and all in less then 44 days, any number of men could be transported firom Seattle Washington to Key West, Florida oi from San Diego, California to Port land, Maine in less than 20 days time, if the Maxwell average was maintained. Then hhe same Maxwells could be sent 'back from either end. if necessity demanded, nnd make the trip right over again." In addition to the National De fense Safeguard, the great hghway would also be a great boon for the country in general, points out Mr. Leighton. Out-of-way spots would be developed, and the outdoor life which would naturally give healthful ad vantages to thousands who would uso it would add materially to the first requisite of a country going to war healthy men and women and children STODDARD COMPANY SUES RAILWAY $2,417.33 Asked of O.-W. R. & N. 1 Under Interstate Act Baken Jan. 28. Invoking the in terstate commerce act, the Stoddard Lumber Co., of Oregon filed suit to day against the O-W R. &. N. rail way on claims alleged when the com pany was incorporated under the laws of Utah, and by the Shockley & McCurrey Co., when an indepen dent concern. The claims aggregate $2,417.33. It is alleged in the complaint that several carloads of box shooks were shipped over the O W. R. & N. and Denver & Rio Grande railways in teptember, 1912, to the firm of Pierce ; Maternes in Hotchkiss, Colorado and that the failure of the last nam ed railroad to notify the shippers when the consignee refused to honor sight drafts alitjached to the bills) of lading, made it possible to dispose of the box lumber in the season when it was in demand and the price was up. The claim is made that the Inter state Commerce acf makes the receiv ing railroad responsible for losses oc casioned by railroads eubfiquL'tly handling goods. Attitude Toward the War BY CHARLES P. STEWART Copenhagen, Jan. 5. (By Mail) The Scandinavian business situation furnishes a ri(J!light on the Swedish, Danish and Norwegian attit'ides to ward the war. Sweden is a r,m--h ;l ligerent. She fears Russian ucgrec sion, with a view to acquiring a warm water port on the Norwegian coaut a port which can only be reach gian territory. She yearns to re cover Finland. She is not so much pro-German, but she is strongly anti Russian. That she will yet attack Russia is not a bad guess. Denmark hates Germany for the loss ofSchloswig-Holstein. Sho fears future Germjan nggressipn. She sympathizes with England. She would like to fight, if at all, on the allies' side but she could so easily be overrun, across hen- border, by' Gor man forces that she is naturally af raid. If she fights at all it must be with the allies but there is no doubt she will remain neutral if she emu Norway's interest is the same as Sweden's. She has nothing to gain, indeed, as Sweden has, in Finland, by attacking Russia, but has peril from Russian's anxiety for an Atlantic port is as great as Sweden's can be. However, she has more interest in developing her merchant fleet than in anything else. She has small dis position to risk its destruction by the British navy. For this reason, though it seems natural that Norway should join the Swedes in the event of n clash with Russia, the Norwegian viewpoint is not like Sweden's at all. Like Denmark, though for differ ent reasons, Norway undoubtedly will remain neutral if she possibly can. - Want Ads.
