Roseburg, Or., Dec. 31 The Pacific
Highway is now absolutely closed to
motor vehicles. L. B. Swinford, a
tourist, tried a system of caterpillar
wheels to surmount the mud, and after
much planning, expense and elfort, he
failed, and shipped his car by freight.
HiB plan was to use large wooden
blocks on the wheels, instead of tires,
something like a caterpillar engine.
He spent a week in Roseburg making
preparation. A few minute»’ atual
experience in the mud beyond Oakland
was enough to satisfy him that his plan
was a failure.
