JOKKPH T. I1. Klynn. director
of forest road conatruetion In this
district, la assnmblitiff tnen it nil ma
terials to bi'ffin work on thti road
which will connect the I4ck creek
'district with the upper luinuha
road.
A conwfcnini-iH or supples ar
rived at Joseph during the week
and were sent to the Lick creek
station. Mr. I'-lyn and lib renuhir
alaff went to the station to map
out the preliminary work and it Is
hoped to assemble ft crew within
a few days. The high water in that
vtrinily washed out the brldK"
ni'itr the station and this will be
rebuilt before work on the read
sta rts.
The completion of this road will
uivi the forest service a loop road
h round the reserve, in the east of
the county. It will IlkewlHU, open
Tip a territory heretofore 'unex
plored by the automobile and will
doubtless brhiff that part of the
county into prominence aa a tour
ist attraction. During the Bummer
it will bo possible for the rancher
of the upper Imnaha section to
haul supplies over a well graded
yoad, the distance to the valley
hvntS about the same as the pres
ent route. It will also open u new
way for Marr flat ranchers to
reach the valley.
The l.ick creek-lmnaha road is
lieinff built by the forest service
nlnne, A fund of fSH.OUO 1 nvnll
Hblo for this road and it will be
built aloiiK the best standards of
forest highway construction. Mr.
Klynn. who Is an old railway grade
constructor, has built up a well
earned reputation for graceful
curves and smooth grades and
those connected with tho forest
service In this vicinity are certain
that the new road will be up to
Ills standard.
About twenty-four men will be
employed in the construction of
the new road.

AKTOIUA, June 2& (tiling of
tjie Koosevelt highway from Sea
side south to the Hamlet Junction
wilt be undertaken before tho first
of July, it was declared yesterday
by W. I. Clarke, division highway
engineer, who was u visitor al
Camp Clatsop.
This will b(. the first highway
oiling project ever undertaken In
Clatsop county by the state.
When the Koosevelt highway
was RUi-facX-'d from Seaside wouth
to Hamlet Junction tho work was
done Willi oiling in prospect and
the, macadam specifications were
drawn in order to give the best
possible base for later oiling
treatment.
It ia possible that the oiling
may start by tlie end of tilts
week, but It Is more probable that
it will be. undertaken during tho
last week in June. '
Oil AVoik Start
Under the oiling methods ad
opted by the state the treatment
Interferes with traffic only a short
time. The road surface is first
carefully prepared, nit loose mater
ial being swept off down to the sol
idly compacted base. Al least two
courses of oil of different specific
gravity are then applied under
pressure and these are followed by
screenings. 1
The road is messy and difficult
for traffic while the oiling work
is in progress, but is again in fine
condition after a day or two.
The resultH of this oiling work
will be watched very carefully, as
it Is somewhat in the nature of a
test for oiled macadam in tills
region. A

reputation..
We can recite to you the advan
(ages of Chrysler "70's" speed of
70 miles plus, its astonishinu pick
up of 5 to 25 miles in VA seconds.
We can tell you what its scien
tifically balanced 7-bearinR

contribute toward its greater
smoothness; how much more
comfortably you ride because of
its low chassis design, its unique
sprints suspension and its shock
absorbers-, how much more easily
it handles because of its pivotal
steering gear; and how much safer
you feel because of its four-wheel
hydraulic brakes.
But the real way for you actually
to discover these things for your
self is to learn them today in an
extended test over all sorts of
roads, through all sorts of traffic,
with you doing the driving.
We gla'-'ly accord you the oppor
tunity for 6uch a demonstration.
