"I am not kiddina- at all when I say that some of those Eastern dealers sim ply camp at the factory. Ca p is the word. They come and stay for month two months, three months. Thev are risht there all the time. They ' never leave, for fear somebody will get ! in ahead of them and set away with a lew cars. ' "So wltb these dealers right there where they know just what the factory is dolnjr. not many cars et away 'from them. They set the bis share of pro duction, while us poor devils from the coast have to be content with an occa sional carload. It is easier for the fac tories to civ us out her th double cress on car deliveries, fig-urine we probably won't know anything: about It. than to cut down on the eastern dealers, who would all be on their necks. There is a car shortage all over the country, but it is most acute her and that is th reason. We are out here on the edge of things, so don't set th cars that are coming to us. "Portland folks will like th Rever. It is a high powered automobile with a Puesenberg motor. When you get In that car a. d step on r boy. how she will go! Just watch for that Revere, and then watch it. That's my tip." $12,000,000 BEING SPKST IX ROAD AVORK. Main CroM-Contlnental Link is Pretty Pair Condition for Travel Jut Now. DETROIT. Mich.. July II. To travel 1y automobile across the continent via the Lincoln htghway is now a pleasur able trip. The condition of this 3314-mile stretch of road work connecting the eastern and western shores is such that only in a few places will the tourist meet with any difficulties and at this time of the year It Is very probable he could make the entire trip with scarcely any trouble. This great sys tem of highways running through 11 slates and connecting 12 is to be the bark bona of th federal system of roads. Twelve millions of dollars will ba lDnt this summer in completing this roast-to-coast boulevard. Work already Is under way on th construction and rebuilding of mora than 400 miles of roadway in the 11 states. id la making this great network of highways complete this year will com from thre sources state, govern ment and private appropriations. Every state in which this highway passes has appropriated funds to help carry on thia work and federal assistance was forthcoming. Congress is considering a bill intro duced by Senator Town send of Michi gan appropriating 1425.000,000 to con struct a federal highway system to connect all th main Una arteries of In terstate highways. Th Lincoln high way will be th "backbone" of this system and will be maintained by th government- The government will pro vide any funds lacking- to build the remaining; gapa in th transcontinental road. Private donations have amounted to S2S0.0OO. while the Lincoln Highway association baa raised another 1250,- 000. Th work Is now progressing as fol lows: New Jersey, 17 miles being re constructed with highest type of road material: Pennsylvania, 23 miles re construction : Ohio. 49 miles under con structlon; Indiana, six miles: Illinois, 4 miles: Iowa. 40 miles: Nebraska, 27 miles, Wyoming, CJ miles; I tan. 44 miles; Nevada, 0 miles: California, nine miles. Indiana presents th best strip in th Lincoln highway and the six miles of dirt road will be filled In this sum mer. California runs a mighty close second with only nine miles to con struct and New Jersey and Pennsylva nia have reconstruction work only to place their roads in good shape. Heavy truck traffic running; into New York city has broken these roads down and they must be rebuilt In places. Ohio, Illinois. Iowa and Wyoming have bread gaps to fill in. but the first thre mentioned are causing; th most work. Th black soil of these states makes travel hard In the rainy seasons, but the end of this summer should see these black spaces fading. BETTER .HMDS NEEDED GOODRICH OFFICIAL HEARS FARMERS TALK. With Bumper Wheat Crop Here, Im proved Highway Requirements Emphasized. ROSCOE SARLES TAKES WIFE Famous Auto Racer Wedded to Cal ifornia Girl.

Never turn around or turn off onto another road without making abso lutely sure ther are no other vehicles behind you. "Some folks, among them a large number of farmers and property own ers, got together the other day and had a road meeting over in southern Montana, and what do you think hap pened," asks C L. Campbell, pneumatic sales manager of th B. F. Goodrich Rubber company. "On rather prosperous looking farm er finally got the floor, after consider able parleying, and, waving his hands for emphasis, said something like this: 'What are we waiting for, anyway Here s all this wheat we have on our farms here in Montana to get to mar ket and no roads to get it there on. We have got to get to work now to get good roads; yes. better roads than we have dreamed of in the past.' He is absolutely right," says Mr. Campbell. 'With th g-ovemment guaranteeing 11.26 a bushel 'for the biggest bumper crop of wheat in history nobody wants bad roads to stand between him and the market. It is time to get to work now, not only in Montana, but in Washing ton and Oregon as well, and make good roads from every farm to the nearest town or market. 'Th main idea right here also is that, with the bumper crop of wheat, and this is true in Washington and Oregon as much as in Montana, we can well afford good roads and we can afford trucks on the farm to haul that wheat to market, with cars to do the errands in."
