Phtronize Our Home Industrigs The prosperous community is the one that within itself, most supplies its own people in their various needs, and by selling much and buying little, keeps its money from go ins abroad, Our farmers and manufacturers would each havo a botter matkot for their products, if our people would oncourago our local manufacturers by giving preference to their products over thoso importod from other places. Wero such the practice, it would not bo long until Clackamas county would be one of the greatest industrial centers on this Coast. If there are other industrial estab lishments in Clackamas county not given in this directory, their card will be inserted free of charge on receipt of copy. WILLAMETTE PULP & PAPER CO X. R.

WIDE TIRE BENEFITS. The Not Only Improve the Eoad, bat the Load I Wore Easily Drawn. The beneficial effect of the wide tire on dirt reads is strikingly shown in Some recent tests at the Missouri agri cultural experiment station at Colum bia. A clay road badly cot into rnts by the narrow tires was selected for the test as presenting conditions least favorable to the broad tire. A number of tests of the draft of the narrow tire were made in these open rnts and im mediately followed by the broad tires running in the same rnts. The first run of the broad tire over the narrow tire rots was accompanied by an increased .draft, the second by a draft materially Jess than the original narrow tire, the third by a still greater decline, and in the fourth trip the rnt was practically obliterated and filled. The narrow tires were then run over the same road, with the results that the draft was lighter than before the broad tires had been used. Alternating the broad and narrow tires on this road for a nnmber of times resulted in a gradually decreased draft In other words, the broad tires were improving the road surface to such an extent when run but half the time as to make the draft considerably less for all vehicles. This clearly demonstrates that if even half the wagons used on dirt roads had broad tires the results would be beneficial in draft and enormously beneficial in bettering the condition of the roads. In another trial, when a clay road was so badly cnt into ruts as to be al most impassable for light vehicles and pleasure carriages, after running the 6 inch tires over this road 12 times the ruts were completley filled and a first class bicycle path made. A careful rec ord of the drafts shows that the draft was materially less than with the nar row tires immediately before. Thus the road would have been gradually im proved by the use of the broad tires at the same time that the farmer would have been able to transport his products over the road with greatly reduced draft Steel Roadway. Secretary Wilson has given directions to General Boy Stone, chief of the bureau of sog loads at the (fonartmeiit j of agriculture, to construct a sample steel roadway at the most convenient loca tion he can find at the Nashville expo sition, where it may be seen and studied by the visitors who will attend the ex position during the summer. Secretary Wilson thinks the steel trackway for wagons is the easiest solution of the good roads problem, particularly in the west, where stone and gravel are scarce, and the soil is deep and sticky. FOR CLATSKANIE Improved Koada For HiMlaaippi. Mississippi now has a road law, which, if properly carried into effect, and if kept in effect for a material length of time, will probably give the state a system of public roads superior to any that it has ever had and perhaps superior to that of a majority of the southern states.
