SEVERAL DETOURS USED
61de 'Roads Necessary for . Several
Weeks Yet, Until Completion
of Contracts.
EUGENE. Or.. Aug. 27. (Special.)
Highway work In all parts of Lane
county Is being- rushed and it is ex
pected that all projects under way will!
have been completed or will be in
shape for travel by the time the fall
rains beicin.
It will not bo many months until
the entire Pacific highway through
Lane county by way of Monroe and
Corvallis will be hard surfaced. The
anphaltic pavement between Junction
City and Monroe on the north has re
cently been completed, affording a
paved highway all the way from the
north Lane county line through Eu
gene to Goshen, a total distance of
over 27 miles, except for a short
stretch inside the city limits of Junc
tion City. The pavement extends sev
eral miles north of Monroe in Benton
county and it is expected that the
highway between Monroe and Corval
lis will be entirely paved yet this fall.
If the rains hold off long enough.
Two Paving Jobs Under Way.
South of Eugene in Lane county two
paving companies are at work on the
highway. The concrete pavement be-
tween Creswell and Walker has been
completed" and the company's trucks
are using a greater part of it over
which to haul gravel for the "shoul-
ders." but public traffic is not yt al
lowed upon it. The company that
laid this pavement is now working
south from Goshen toward Creswell.
A detour of considerable length
around this work is necessary. Going
south all traffic is diverted east at
Goshen, across the coast fork of the
Willamette, through the Cloverdale
country and back to the highway just
south of Creswell. In some places
this detour is rough, but In the main
It is good going.
Another company is at work laying
asphaltio pavement between Saginaw
and Cottage Grove, where another de
tour is necessary. This detour Is
through the Delight valley on the op
posite side of the coast fork from the
highway and is the same that was
used two years ago when the highway
along that stretch was being macad
amized. This detour is in fair shape,
but is very dusty in places.
Good progress is being made on the
Eugene-Florence highway, a state
project, by way o-f the low pass over
the summit of the Coast mountains.
The grading on the first 12-mlle
stretch between Bear Creek falls, 20
miles northwest of Eugene, to the
summit of the mountains. Is practical.
ly finished and bridges are being put
In.
MeKenxle Highway Work Under War-
On the McKenzie highway the new
work between Thurston and Walter-
Tills makes rough going for two or
three miles, but cars have no trouble
t In getting through. Some prefer a
istour "around this work by crossing
the McKeNe river at Hayden bridge
northeast T -.Eugene and taking the
Camp creek road by way of the city
power plant, but this Is said to be
very rough.
On the upper highway the govern
ment contractors have begun to spread
fine crushed rock on top of the coarse
rock on the new part of the highway
between Blue river; and the Belknap
Springs road. This will make a
smooth surface, a great improvement
over the present surface of coarse
rock, which Is hard on tires.
County Commissioner M. H. Harlow
and J. C. McLeod. district highway
engineer, a few days ago made a trip
over this highway as far as Dead-
horse hill, this side of the summit of
the Cascades. They found -the work
of cutting down the grade on Dead
horse hill to be well under way -and
other short contracts on the slope of
the mountain were progressing.
The newly opened road to central
Oregon by way of the upper Wil
lamette river is being traveled by
quite a number of tourists and little
trouble is experienced, but there are
a number of very stiff grades leading
to the summit from either side. The
road on the west side of the summit
Is quite smooth, having recently been
worked by the county and forest ser
vice, but it la said to be rougher on
the east side and It Is said that the
summit is harder to negotiate from
that side than from the west side.
VANCOUVER IS DRAWING CARD
Thousands of Portland Motorists
Enjoy Canadian Scenery.
Largely as a result of the work of
a farslghted publicity bureau the
name of Vancouver. B. C, has become
a familiar one among Oregon motor
ists and hundreds have made the en
joyable trip northward during the
present summer. This Canadian city
Is linked in direct touch with Port
land by the Pacific highway, and
ervery year Increasing numbers of
Portlanders and Oregonians take the
two-day trip across the boundary to
enjoy the scenic drives and view fa
mous beauty spots of British Co
lumbia, a large number of which are
within a run of an hour or so from the
city's center.
The city of Vancouver's publicity
bureau places Itself at the service of
all tourists and its literature and of
fice service does muoh to assist visi
tors in utilizing the time at their dis
posal to best advantage. The touring
trip from Portland may best be di
vided into two days, with a stopover
the first night at Seattle. Motoring
permits are granted into British Co
lumbia by the customs officials at the
International boundary.
At Vancouver several days may be
profitably spent In sightseeing, if
time permits, although in a single day
many of the tourist attractions may
be covered. Among these are Eng
lish bay and its bathing resorts. Stan
ley park and Capilano canyon. From
the city radiates a network of scenic
drives through the beautiful suburbs
and into the forests and the agrl
cultural sections by which the city is
surrounded.
Tire Production Enormous.
Akron. O.. the rubber city. Is ex
pected to turn out 21.000,000 tires this
year. During 1920 the tire industry
of the United States produced 32.000,
000 tires. The Akron production now
is said to run as follows: Goodyear,
24,000 tires dally; Goodrich. 15,000;
Firestone, 21,000; Miller. 4500, and the
smaller companies 7000 dally. Out of
the total tires produced In 1920, 8,
SOO.OOO were used for original equip.
ment and tHe remainder for replace
ments. The business is now operat-
lag on 60 per cent of peak production.

about it being'that it is not very long,
terminating near La Center.
From Ridgefield on to Kalama the

few years ago would have been called
good, but now will probably be classed
as fair. From Kalama to jasue kock
the road is' mostly macadam, a little
rough in spots but by no means bad
going.
A few short weeks ago the road
over the hills or mountains north of
Castle Rock was almost impassable.
Last winter it was not an unusual
thing to find cars in the ditch, owing
to the heavy grade and muddy condi
tion of this stretch of road.
Now the new grade is used. It Is
well graveled and one is past the old
difficulties before the fact Is real
ized. The road continues fair until
it gives away to pavement some IS
miles south of Chehalls. This pave

a mile or so north of Centralia and
then gravel and macadam again forms
the footing. This section of the road
Is quite rough all the way to Tenino,

Average Reduction on All

Price Now
And remember that for five years, including last year, when
it sold at $2600, the Hudson Super-Six was the largest selling
fine car in the world.
At its new price of $1895 doesn't it represent incomparably
the greatest vjilue in the fine car market?
No judicious buyer today makes his choice without comparing
not only the present price of cars, but also their relative values
as indicated by the position and reputation they have held
for years. .
Such comparison today directs intensified interest
upon Hudson.
It Redoubles Hudson's Value
Advantage
There is no need to call attention
to the quality, ability and dis
tinction of Hudson. Its. leader
ship in these is a long acknowl
edged position. It is now in its
sixth year as the largest selling
fine car. In every way that proof
can be offered it has established
' its right to that eminence.
Many of its official records are
of five year's standing. They
have been challenged inces
santly. Isn't it significant that
five years of intensive competi
tion has produced no rival to
outstrip them?

"The company has a shortage in its
