upon Mr. Reynolds when his ship
reached Portland. Since leaving, how
ever, Mr. Reynolds has had a rather
thrilling experience, first being
pressed Into government service when
his own ship was converted into a
troop ship off tha coast of China; later
Into the passaenger service plying be

parts of the world and still later, on
the Leyalan. a British transport, which
formerly was a German vesssel, tha
Serak. of the Kosmos line. The Ley
slan is now a mule transport.
In his letter Mr. Reynolds writes:
"When the Carnarvonshire arrived
at Hongkong we were chartered by the
government and turned into a troep
ship. From there we were formed
into a convoy consisting of the Rus
sian cruiser Askold. English armed

gated 487,489.08, or $20,000 over the es
timate. This was too much, the Com
missioners declared, and they called for
other bids.
The second lot of bids cut down tha
first amount $11,000, with the result
that the road can be paved for only
$9000 above the estimate. Enough
money is left out of the premium on
the big bond Issue to care for this
excess.
Although bitulithlc pavement gen
erally was favored throughout the
county, the Commissioners determined
to lay experimental stretches of pave
ment on the St. Helens road, which
lends itself readily to almost any type.
The extremely heavy traffic, too, fur
nishes a severe test for each variety.
Wood Paving to Be Tried Out.
Wood -bjoek pavement, which was so.
strongly advocated by the lumber in
terests of Portland, will receive its
first test on county roads through the
action of the Commissioners yesterday.
Because of the vast timber resources
of Oregon, officials determined that
wood pavement should receive at least
a tryout in the extensive road Improve
ments under the $1,250,000 bond issue.
A small section also is devoted to
brick, which was pushed strongly by
local manufacturers of that article.
Cement concrete and brick already have
been awarded certain sections of pave
ment on other roads, particularly on
steep grades, where other types might
have become too slippery In wet
weather.
