Two things, at least, thieves will not steal: your char
acter and the ancient car you have insured for more than
it's worth.
If, as a movie star says, the wedding; rinp; is obsolete,

' 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.

THEY say a tight man squeezes his dollar until he
makes "the eagle scream."
A wise man makes his dollar stretch, lie buys but
lie buys wisely, making every dollar go a long way.
He knows that the j.urehasing power of a dollar has
shrunk considerably in the last ten years.- He. also
knows there has never been a time when wise buying
paid bigger dividends.
Hvory day, this newspaper contains information that
you should have to increase your buying power. The
advertisements are intimate little lessons in every-day
economy. They teach you how, when and for what your
dollar will tro farthest.
Manufacturers and merchants tell of their products
through the advertisements. Almost every new oppor
tunity is offered through an advertisement. Practically
every unusual buy is advertised.
u can strck-h your dollar to its elastic limit by
keeping abreast of the opportunities to get full value.
