If, as a movie star says, the wedding; rinp; is obsolete, it must be a case of the circle being supplanted by the triangle. ' Portland is extremely enthusiastic about the sixteen convention to be held within her gates during the coming season but her subscription to the support of the Old Ore gon Trail association activities does not indicate that the city is very keenly concerned as to how her convention delegates who may be motoring are to reach her hospitable portals. ; PAVING THE OLD OREGON TRAIL, i ,"fhe "Pavc-the-Old-Oicgon-Trail Committee" which in Ibeipg formed with representative members froin cities and Itjwns along the line is one way to bring Eastern Oregon jhighway needs before the state Highway Commission. Cer laiijly some organization is needed to do that very thing. The., expenditure of $100,000 to resurface part of the trail jthis year will improve present conditions but it is not goin; jto solve tho problem. The trail carries more traffic now jlhan any other macadam highway in the state and the num ber of cars passing over it this season will be a tremendous increase over previous years, according to reliable esti fnatcs. Traffic, and the resultant wear and tear, is goin .to increase each season, not diminish, and it is in prepara tion for that condition that the Committee seeks to have Jthc entire trail paved. 1 No one questions the fact that the center of population n Oregon is in Portland and that paved roads were first inquired for that vicinity. I'ut the Highway Commission fseems to have lost sight of the fact that Portland is now perved with adequate paved roads and that the greatest unpaved feeder highway in the state is the Old Oregon Trail. To side-track the trail paving project is not only a terious injustice to Eastern Oregon but it is also detrimen tal to the entire Oregon country. The original law passer! y the legislature provided for the pavement of the Old )regon Trail to the Idaho state line as soon as major proj ects leading into Portland were completed. When wo consider that the paving of the lower Columbia Highway iV'as not a part of the original needs of the state as out lined by the legislature, wo can appreciate how far the various Commissions have deviated from the planleaving the Oregon Trail to become the last major project in state load improvement. The Committee can do much tfi bring the Commission to realize the importance of planning for this as soon as funds can possibly be made available." The :iid and support of all Eastern Oivgon citizens is needed 1o make the Committee's effort most effective.
