Mr.' and Mrs. C B. Kingman of Spo
kane, Wash., are to attempt a trip
across the ; continent in an J0 M. F.
touring car. The trip will be triads by
way of Walla Walls. Boise, aad over
the northern route to Omaha, From
the Nebraska metropolis east they will
seek out the most famous spots, they
will put up at hotels all along the way,
but will carry enough baggage to make
them reasonably safe should darknsss
overtake them on the desert or some
other disagreeable place. The trip will
bcoupy the entire summer and fall. Re
turning from Omaha over the southern
route, they Will spend next winter tour
ing through California, and Mexico
should conditions be more settled there.
Eugene motorists, acting through the
Eugene Commercial elub, will cover all
the roads south and north of their city
and up to the county line on either side
with signs telling the distance and di
rection to Eugene. This aid to the tour
ing publlo will be appreciated, by every
motorist who makes the southern trip.
With this incentive it Is believed that
many of the other larger towns in the
valley will do the same thing. The
work was brought about by the criti
clem of a Spokane capitalist After get
ting lost several times he took occasion
to roast Lena county especially, and all
of -southern Oregon as well. Aroused
at this, criticism ths Commercial club
got together sufficient funds to handle
the work. Fred Moullen will plant most
