THE WRITER VEN TURES TO ASSERT THAT THERE ARE MANY CLACKAMAS COUNTY FARMERS THAT WOULD AP PRECIATE THIS ROAD RUNNING BY THEIR PLACEi THE Company enjoys the distinction of being pioneers in hard surface road building in Oregon and there are very few jobs of importance that they have not figured in. They specialize in Sheet Asphalt and Bitumenous pavements. The following are a few of the more important hard surface roads built in Oregon and California Woodside road, Belmont road, Portolaroad, El Camino Real road, Bay Shore road, Mariposa road, Folsom road, Sacramento road, Base Line road, Stockton road, French Camp and the Medford-Ashland roads. NO doubt many Clackamas county residents that have toured through California remember gratefully these delightful and inviting stretches of hard surface, and the citizens of San Di ego, San Mateao, Burlingame, San Francisco, San Carlos, Redwood City, San Rafael, Sausalito, Willets, Yreka, Colusa, Gusalito, Aro ville, Marysville, Woodland, Richmond, Lodi, Ukiah, Oakland, San Jose, Medford, Central Point, Roseburg, Eugene, The Dalles, Springfield, Silverton, Mt.

Each is the result of education and each is dependent on the other JgUT the farmer is most vitally concerned, and he should be the most consistant as well as the most constant advocater of good roads, for though the city is dependent on the farmer it is the farmer that must haul the produce there, and haul back the supplies required, and if it takes twice as long and costs twice as much to do this, all concerned are needlessly taxed.
