He endured the gale until his hands werr bleeding from gripping the ropes. He became exhausted and went down be fore assistance came. , The Pennsylvania could not reach the men at first, even with the life boats, because of the heavy sea.

The importance of thi-3 highway to California and Briti3H Columbia is not discussed in the report. . The reason. Major Bowlby explains, is rhe simple one that California lia? already pro vided $30,000,000 for her road system, I all of which is. to be spcr.t Ly ISIS; while British Columbia, with . only 500,000 people, in. 1912 expended ?5, 500,000 on her roads, an average per capita of $11, and . is preparing to spend $8,000,000 more In 1913.- - As against. this, he shows hor only $2,000,000 expended on north and south Washington, will prepare the way for these states to . grasp the most wonderful opportunity of devel opment the Northwest has ever had. Major Bowlby is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on road building and highway problems in the United States. Samuel Hill, presi dent of the Home Telephone Company of Portland and vice-president for Washington of the Pacific Highway Association, himself-" a noted good roads authority, - says Major Bowlby is the foremost authority. While highway commissioner of Washington .he made, a remarkable record as a road builder. His pres ent report is based on month's of study- of the situation in Oregon and Washington for the Pacific Highway Association. In his report Major Bowlby cites impressive facts and figures to show the important relation between devel opment in 1915 and the condition of the roads. It is a question, he says, of whether it is made possible for the tourist and investor to look over the state, or whether poor and impassible roads bar him out. "On December 28, 1912," his report reads in this connection, "there were registered in California 92,153 auto mobiles, exclusive of motorcycles. Of this number 4700 are commercial ma chines, trucks, delivery automobiles, etc. That is, there are approximately 87,500 pleasure cars in California.; "New machines have been register ing at an average rate or 2000 a month. New . York state only has more machines, viz., 113,000. New York has 13,500,000 population, Cal j ifornia has 2,500,000. By 1915 Cali- fornia will have 125,000 to 130,000 pleasure.: automobiles. During ' that year approximately 30,000 machines will go to California to . enjoy her roads and visit the great Panama-Pa cific exposition. . Conservatively there will "be 150,000 automobiles In Cali fornia in 1915."! "The question is, How many of these 150,000 automobiles will come north in Oregon and Washington? . "As the roads now are, practically none of them.. For the : benefit -; of those without personal knowledge of the road, it is sufficient to state that there is no means .today of getting an automobile from Portland t- the California line. - For a few -months in the year it is possible to get over what is worse than a trail by under going torture to both machine and its occupants. iTLet ns 'suppose:tIia there is" a mod ern Jiighway-f rom-the. California line to Portland, that is, a road similar to the roads that California is now building-a road with a hard surface all the way, and no grades over ;5 per cent. - ; "At least one out of every five of the automobiles in California in 1915 would come to Oregon. , , . r "What 'would -that mean? At least two days would be consumed in the trip from the California line to Port land. The average cost per day for each car for necessities and comforts would be $50'. Most people who carry an automobile along as baggage will spend $100 a day. Assume the lower figure. Each machine would spend in Oregon in .two days $.100, On the return trip' an equal "amount,-making $200 iPer autoniobile that" came from California to Portland. i T 'If oneTEfthfof the automobileiif In California in-1915 made the'- trip- to Portland over this hard surface road J wayfihex 0ld "leave in Oregon 30,- ATi -?

TAX LEVY TO BE MADE THIS WEEK The county court, at its session Saturday, decided to appoint all road supervisors recommended at meetings of taxpayers, where special levies were made. Twenty-eight- ' districts out of 57 made . recommendations. Most of the appointments will be made at a meeting next Wednesday when the court will probably make the annual tax levy. Several of the road districts have made special lev ies of 10 mills each and a : number have not had any meetings. - ' ARE ENTHUSIASTIC At an enthusiastic meeting of. the stockholders of the Clackamas South ern Railway Company Saturday after noon reports were made by the var ious officers, F.
