ASK FOR MCCARTHY'S IMPERIAL CIGARS I SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN URGES GOOD ROADS Oregonlan News Bureau, Washington, April 24. (Spe cial). Senator Chamberlain to day expressed his hearty ap proval of the proposal to build hard-surfaced modern roads in Oregon paralleling the Pacific Coast. lie declared that such roads through all tho Pacific Coast states would be of the greatest military Importance. "While not familiar with the details of the Oregon road plan," said Senator Chamberlain, "as I understand It, that plan will provide roads which, from a military standpoint, are most necessary. Rut, as a matter of fact, we should have such roads paralleling the Coast line from Canada to Mexico. First-class hard-surface roads would afford ready facility for transporting both troops and supplies up and down the racific Coast in the event of military activity on that Coast and would greatly augment the railroad. "Koads such as those would hare the highest strategic val ue and ought to be built, but I do nt believe the Federal Gov ernment at this time has the money to build them." j Office and Factory, w. d.
