Just aa they are now fulfilling th. desires and sat isfying the ambitions of our present aay champion riders. More than a decade ago. London, the Unrest city In the world, found that wooden blocks placed on a con crete base, was the Ideal paving. Minneapolis, the larger of the pro gressiva Twin Cities, loyal to It. own Interests, learned that wood paving was th. only practical and lasting so lution to this problem. - Some of the, day. the men who hav. the real Interest, of Oregon at heart, th. men who made th. devel opment of Oregon possible, the lum bermen of the Paclnc Northwest, will realise that continued prosperity. In creased development, added fame and fortune will come by paying some at tention to th. heretofore despised by products, the wooden paving block. ReepoaalbUlty la . But. In order to accomplish this, the lumbermen of Oregon must do more than furnish the wood: they must do more than cut these blocks. It Is their child: they must see that this child Is not only brought from th. forms and delivered to the community, but they must see that It lg placed in proper band. It must be started on Its career on the right foundation. Its faults, must be overcome until th. perfection achieved by other eountrle. hav. been reached and excelled In our own coun try, and then will the nam. of Oregon fir be known throughout the entire civilised world because It furnishes a pavement that will endure more eco nomically, in th.
