4-
IMMENSE ROAD
IS PROPOSED
NATIONAL HIGHWAY, FOR DE-
. FENSE, URGED.
Would Girdle Nation, Touching Paci
fic Coast Points.
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. -
