Oregon ha made great progress dur
ing trie last year in the matter of road
building. Multnomah county especially
is to sb highly commanded for ita ef
forts 1 in thin direction.
Tha opening of Hillcrest Drive, a
continuation of Sixth street,, and the
first link. in a highway that will here
after be known a the Capitol High
may, ia ones of the moat beautiful scen
ic drlvea In America. The road is
more thani two milea long and has
sands of dollars. Part of this high
way waa hard surfaced, the rest sim
ply macadamized.
It is that macadamized portion of
the highway that especial attention Is
Invited to at this time. The road is
vary heavily traveled and tha mac
adamized part has already begun to
show wear. In fact, there are great
holes at ecvry turn that necessitate
continuous repairing.
The people of this state now real
ise the absolute necessity and econom
ical value of permanent roads, and it
Is far better to build one mile of per
manent highway than three that have
to be renewed and worked continuously.
Photographs are shown of one of the
bad turns on the Hillcrest drive. This
picture by no means shows the worst
of the damaged turns. At the rate
this road is being torn up by heavy
traffic, in less than a year it will be
In as bad condition as the Base Line
is now.
The study of this highway by our
road builders should bring home to
them the advisability of building the
roada now under construction through
. out the county of a substantial, mate
rial that will last years Instead of
months. The great Columbia Highway
is now under construction and will
oen he In readiness to accept some
form of surfacing. The people of this
community should make every effort
to have that surfacing of a permanent

Along with this -big order has come

large quantity of bridles and saddles
to the British troopers, while orders
for 100.000 sets of horseshoes have
been placed In America by the French

was split up, in order to accelerate
delivery, among a number of New

dicted, of the approach of a big ex
port trade for European countries.
Much secrecy has been observed in
the letting of contracts In this coun
try for supplies for the armies in Eu
lope. H has been definitely learned,
however, that the governments which
have been compelled to call on this
country for supplies are maintaining
purchasing commissions in this coun
try. The memberi of the commission
are citizens of the countries which they
represent. The commissions do not
act directly, it is understood, with the
manufacturer. Instead, they appoint
oruKers in various parts of the country
to close contracts for them. The brok
ers are in the manufacturing centers.

Apply die Emergency Test
in Buying Your Car
i
To be fair to yourself you must
make the car you buy prove its mettle un
der extraordinary conditions. Don't
be satisfied with a 10-mile trip over the
boulevards. Go for a 50-mile road test
over every sort of a road, up hifts and
through sand and mud. Then and then
only will yon have a real Erie on the kind
of a car you are putting your money into.
Our Fastest SeJEng Car
Tests of this sort have made the
Chalmers "light S5x" the fastest selling
car weever btrHt.
That Is why tn urg you to apply
wrteryency test because we are con
fident if you make this car show you its

And because we build the Chalmers
"Light Six" to cope with any and every
emergency of the road, because we insist
that every part in tins 1915 Chalmers

find it futty cxjarparable point. for point.
If you could put aU the ears in the
same price class with the Chalmers 1915
"Light Six" in a group your eye would
instantly seek out the Chalmers "Light
Six" for the supeifcaT grace, the more
distinctive beauty of its dear sweeping,
true streamline body. And this is one
reason why ths-car is seBssg so fast all
over the couutry to men who formerly
