This is now increased to a total of from 600 to 1500 per day necessitating the elimination or sharp curves, the increase, in the width of the grade and the recon struction of the drainage and founda tion. - The highway - commission is endeavoring, to do this ivoik In :,a manuci so as to cause the least, Inconvenience- possible ;to' traffic and I am sure that an. Impartial observer will agree that this is being done. "It is believed that tho' construc tion of a straight wide highway with adequate foundations to bear heav ier loads, smooth, non-skid sur face to increase the pleasure ond the economy of driving, and the elimination of the hazard to lives and property by reason of these changes, will much more than offset tho small Inconvenience of a tem porary nature that these changes necessitate."

Ontario 401, Pendleton 330, Vale 20, Baker 308, Huntington 001, Milton Preewater, a total of 2469.

Thousands of others register else where In the state and then go out over the Old Oregon Trail and more thousands of Oregon tourists visit this section of tho state from Central, Southern and Western Oregon.
