It keeps the road aur--faoo-ia a hard, smooth and well-packed condition. The eoat for oiling the Unn ton road between the exposition grounds . and the Tavern was about $St per mile. On Twentieth street the oiling was mora expensive. . The work was done by con- . tract ' ' . ' .

T .regard the oiled road ee the sola ' tloa of the good road question In Ore gon," said Mr. Blumauer, It Is effec tive end economical and can be applied on the country roads. . It Is especially adaptable for a climate that baa a long dry season and a long rainy season.' The solution of the good road problem . ,vr rests entirely In preventing water from entering the roadway, as long as the soil can be kept dry and the road has a flMBllI I - - . each side It will retain Its shape and hardness.
