DESCRIBES DIFFERENT

KINDS OF PAVEMENT
Matter Is of Great Interest in
Multnomah, Which Has
Many Trunks to Surface.
BIG COST, LITTLE UPKEEP
Official Shows Tli a It Xa Beat to v

' An important question to be decided
ay Multnomah county this spring is
that of paving main trunk roads run
ning out of Portland.
There are many kinds of pavement
but experience has shown that the
higher the cost the lower the expense
of maintenance.
In Ills annual report State Highway
Engineer H. L.. Bowlby describes the
different types of pavement as fol
lows: The street asphalt is the common
American form of asphalt paving. The
wearing surface ia from one and one
half to two Inches thick, and is com
posed of approximately 90 per cent
. clean, well graded aand. and 10 per
cent of asphalt. This pavement is al
ways laid on a permanent base. In
some cities it has been used to re-surface
an old stone block pavement. . Be
tween the base and the wearing sur
face a binder course is usually placed.
" This, binder course is made up of
broken stone and asphalt and has a
thickness of one and one-half inches.
U It is made quite rich with asphalt to
Insure a good bond with the base. The
best asphalt pavement on the coast is
found on the Seattle streets.
The asphalt block pavement is laid
In a number of eastern cities. The
blocks are' uniform in shape, usually
4x5x12 Inches in size. They are com
posed of a mixture of crushed rock
and asphalt in atout the proportion of
87 to 13. In Washington, D. C, this
kind of pavement, laid on a concrete
base, cost from $1.80 to $2 per squaro
' yard.
The bitulithic, pavement is made
similarly to the sheet asphalt, except
crushed rock is used in the place of
Band. The excellence of this form of
paving is due to the care used in pro
portioning the various sizes of the
. crushed stone. This pavement is laid
cii either a concrete base or upon a
broken stone base or old macadam
road. Many miles of it are in use on
tii'1 Portland streets.
Warrenite is a form of bitulithlc. It
Is -the type usually laid on the country
ronds by the company controlling the
pa tMits.
The bituminous macadam road is a
crushed stone road surface in which
an artificial binder has been used. The
binder is some form of tar or asphalt.
Or a Combination of both.
The "penetration method is often
U8d in bettering the surface of an old
macadam road, and also In the con
Ftructinn of new roads.
The surface I
to which the hot. bitumen is applied
is first loosened so that the binder
wilt penetrate as far as possible ' into
the surface of the road. Sand or stone
screenings are applied and . the road
thoroughly rolled. The bitumen is ap
plied either from a sprinkler wagon,
or under pressure by a spraying ma
. chine. .
Tlie Gladwell system of layjng a bi
tuminous Ti-ad surface is used very ex
tenslvt'ly In Europe. Over the base
is spread ja f ive-eii?hths inch layer of
stone chips coated with hot bitumen.
On top of thrs lsy spread a two inch
layer of crushed rock (1H to inch
gauge).. Over this Is spread another
course of stone chips that have been
coated with hot bitumen. -This course
Is usually five-eighths inches thick.
A thorough rolling of the road forces
the stone chips up and down between
the larger rock, and gives a very satis
factory wearing surface.
Tarmac Is an English patented pave
ment. Hot furnace slag .Is broken
Into various sixes, and coated while
yet hot with a patented mixture of
tar, pitch, resin and Portland cement.
. Many of the best roads In England
are of this type.
Under the mixing method of build
ing bituminous macadam roads, the
two that are most used are Warrenlte
nd asphaltlo concrete.
As explained above, Warrenlte Is an
adaptation of the bitulithlc pavement
to country roads. It consists of a two
Inch layer of dense asphaltlo concrete
which is laid while hot on tha crushed
rock base. After rolling, the surface
is given a flush coat of asphalt.
Asphaltic concrete is very similar
to Warrenlte. The chief difference Is
that Warrenlte contains in the mix
ture larger siwed pieces of broken
stone. Most asphaltlo concrete is laid
tinder what is known as the "Topeka
Specifications." These do not specify
tone larger than one-half inch. In
Warrenlte stones as large as one inch
are used in the surface mixture. Many
miles of Warrenlte have been laid in
Washington.
Concrete pavements are laid in two
;efieral ways. First, by the one-course
method, in which the 6ame mix is used
throughout: and, second, by laying a
base of a comparatively lean concrete
and providing a wearing course of a
very rich concrete. A good concrete
pavement requires the highest degree
of care and klll to insure a success
ful result.
The Hassarn pavement, named after
the patentee. Is constructed as fol
lows: Broken stone Is spread to. a depth
of eight or nine Inches and thoroughly
rolled without adding screenings or
sand. After the stone is thoroughly
compact, the surface is flushed with
a grout made up of one part each of
Portland cement and sand. The road
Is Sgain thoroughly rolled until all
-cide are filled with the grout. Many
miles of this type of pavement have
been laid in Portland.
'Brick pavements are laid on a four
to six inch concrete base with a two
Inch sand Cllsh Inn Th tirlrVa a toM
on edge and the joints are filled with J
Portland cement grout.
This Is the highest type of pave- 1
ment; also the most expensive In first j
cost. Maintenance very low. j
The sandstone, granite and basalt '
blocks are laid in a similar way. The '
blocks are approximately 4x5x9 inches. '
The Joints between Jhe blocks are,!
filled with Portland cement grout. i
A pavement that Is very much used
In Europe, and no doubt will meet '
;w1th favor Jn states well supplied with
, basalt rofek. is the "Durax" pavement.
The wearing surface consists of small
jetono cubes, approximately three
- finches In dimension. These are laid'

SECURES CONTRACT
FOR HANDLING THE
L "25" LINE
Business Heretofore Cared for
by the Pacific Motor Com
pany Here,
Another important change in the
handling of an Oregon distributing
agency took place last week, when an
nouncement was made that H. C.
Skinner had secured the contract for
the Maxwell 25. This line has hereto
fore been handled in this territory by
the Pacific Motors company.
II. C Skinner introduced the Max
well line to Portland when it was first
announced that "Walter Flanders had
taken over the concern. He later
Joined hands with Benj. E. Boone under
the firm name of Boone-Skinner and
handled the Maxwell line. When Mr.
Boone took over the local Belling of
the Ford cars, Mr. Skinner went in
with the Pacific Motors company as
manager, and took the Maxwell as the
leading line. Recently the Cohen
Brothers, Ed and Arnold, purchased an
interest in the Pacific Motors com
pany, and now the announcement
comes that Mr. Skinner, under the firm
name of The H. C. Skinner company
is to handle the distribution of tho
Maxwell for the state of Oregon. Mr.
Skinner has secured the building Just
across the street from the Frank C
Riggs Packard establishment on North
Twenty-third street and will make that
headquarters.
It has been consistently rumored
since the Maxwell change that Lew
Rose and Paul Smith, who recently
formed a holding company at San
Francisco, would be interested in the
new agency. This Sff. Skinner denies
emphatically, and states that the
financial end of the business will be
handled entirely from Portland. It is
Mr. Skinner's intention to establish a
Multnomah county agency in order
that he will not have the care of the
local selling end to contend with. He
says the Maxwell is a great distribut
ing asset and that his entire time will
be devoted to that end.
As the Pacific Motors company gave
up the Chandler a few days ago It is
not known at this time what car they
will handle.
cushion of tar, asphalt, cement or sand.
Sand is unsatisfactory on grades on
account of the water getting under
the blocks and washing the sand to
the foot of the grade.
Wood blocks are treated with cre
osote oil or carbolineum. to preserve
the fibre of the wood. Blocks are ap
proximately 3x4x8 inches. Blocks
are laid with the grain of the wood
vertical. Joints are filled with tar or
asphalt.
On the main traveled roads, such as
the Columbia highway and the Paclfio
highway In Oregon, it will be economy
to construct a high class hard surface
wherever the money can be raised to
do so.
In King county, Washington, 'the
highest type of pavement is being
built on the Pacific highway. Twenty
three miles of standard brick pave
ment on a concrete base have been
constructed on this trunk road at an
average cost of $27,000 per mile.
Many miles of standard Warrenlte
have been laid on the Pacific high
way, and on other roads in Washing
ton, at a cost of $16,000 per mile.
During the last two years more than
60 miles of concrete pavement were
constructed in Washington at a coat
of from $10,000 to $15,000 per mile.
In the state of California hundreds
of miles of the best hard surfaced
roads have been built, varying In cost
from $10,000 to $18,000 per mile.
A start in a small way In hard sur
facing has been made in Oregon this
wear. The highway commission has
built two miles of standard Warrenlte
in Clatsop county, and four aJid a half
miles of asphaltlo macadam (Topeka
Specifications) In Jackson county.
Thirteen and a half miles of concrete
pavement were built in Clatsop and
Jackson counties this season. '

Trail to Top of Larch Mountain, Idea
Cherished by Highway Engineer
Samuel C. Lancaster Relates Natural Beauties That Would Be
Made More Accessible by a Route to the Summit.
When the creator made the wonder
ful gorge of the Columbia with its ma
jestic scenery, he-said. "Some day the
men whom I have created will want a
grandstand from which this whole
glorious panorama may be seen." And
so he made Larch mountain. Geolo
gists may differ with this theory, but
this is how Samuel C. Lancaster, engi
neer of the Columbia highway, ex
plains the presence of Larch mountain.
"If you have ever read the Bible
much," said Mr. Lancaster, "you will
notice that the old prophets are always
dwelling on the beauty and majesty
of the mountains, the rivers and the
sea. From the top of Larch mountain
the world is spread out at your feet.
Silhouetted against the skyline are
five or six great snowcapped peaks.
Far below, like a chain of silver, the
Columbia, with graceful curves, flows
seaward. If the day is clear and you
have a glass you can see on the west
ern horizon the mighty Pacific. The
whole country Is clothed with beauty.
From the top of Mount Wilson, in Cal
ifornia, you get a magnificent view,
but it is a view of bare brown hills and
sandy desert. From the top of Larch
Mountain; the eye wanders over. miles
of verdant forests of towering crags
and pinnacles, or orchards and mead
ows and whatever the eye rests It sees
a restful green, a green that ranges
from the light green of the new "graflj
to almost dark blue green of the ever
greens. To the eastward you see the
gateway of the Columbia, where the
hills fold back to allow the river to
flow westward to the sea. It seem
from the :top of Larch mountain when
you look down at the river, almost in
credible that the river is only 20 feet
above sea level, and that hair seals
come up thts far to feed on the sal
mon. "Ever since the idea of the Columbia,
highway was first entertained, and I
became connected with it. I have cher
ished a dream that we could construct
a trail from Multnomah Falls, passing
over the beautiful bridge spanning the
falls, donated by Simon Benson, to
wind upward to the summit of Larch
mountain. This trail would follow a
series of cascades and waterfalls, pass
through a primeval forest of magnifi
cent fir trees, and on through tangled
dips and hollows filled with ferns and
moss, dogwood and laurel, and to the
top of Larch mountain, never exceed
ing a 15 per cent grade,
"Larch mountain is covered by a
heavy growth of timber, many of the
trees being more than -.200 feet high
and straight as arrows. The Bridal
Veil Lumber company is now cutting
timber on the west slope of the moun
tain. I asked the company to set
aside 100 acres or more on top of the
mountain, and allow us to build a
trail to the summit of the mountain.
"On the summit of the mountain a
sentinel rock rises almost 500 feet
high. Larch Mountain Itself is 4043
feet from the surface of 'the river.
The Bridal Veil Lumber company
promised nbt to cut the trees from thn
summit of the mountain for a year or
so, and consented to having a trail cut
to the top of the mountain. I went to
the forestry service, and as they were
anxious to have a lookout station on
Larch Mountain, and were also anxious
to secure permission to cut a trail to
their station, they were glad to agree
to build an observatory on the summit
of Larch Mountain and also have the

"The trip to the summit of Larch
Mountain will be one of the finest one
day trips in the world. From the foot
of the mountain you can go through
Portland or Hood River by automobile
or on the train. If you want to take
the beautiful trip you can go by boat.
The mountain is only, three miles back
from the river, so that a trail of about
four miles would reach the summit.
Women or children who do not wish
to tramp up the trail could go on
mules or burros. The trail could be
arranged so that you could go up one
way and back another, the trail divid
ing near the Punch Bowl overlooking
beautiful Waukena Falls. Waukena
Falls means in the Indian tongue 'Most
Beautiful' and it certainly Is well
named. It used to be called Gordon
Falls, but the state geographic board,
the Mazamas and the Oregon Histori
cal society appointed a Joint commltee,
which decided on the change of name
to WaukenaFalls.
"The geographic board has changed
many of the commonplace names of
our scenic points back to the original
Indian names which are very much
more beautiful and more descriptive.
When I think of Larch Mountain and
the Columbia Highway I think of it
as a wonderful natural painting, and
in making it accessible we are merely
tools in the hands of the Creator to
frame his great masterpiece. To work
with nature makes a man realize that
service is the only worth while thing
and that the best monument that a
man can leave is his work. I believe
we will have thousands of tourists
come to Oregon this fall on their way
back from the exposition. We must
get this trail built so that they can
get a bird's eye view of the glory and
beauty of Oregon."

and Not the Solid Kind at
All,
LITTLE PROFIT IS MADE
Uannfactnrers rignre Bo Close, It Is
Asserted Quality Alone Makes
Business Profitable.
During the year 1915 something like
$250,000,000 will be spent by automo
bile owners en pneumatic tires alone
not counting the substantial sums paid
out for solid tires for commercial vehi
cle's. It seems an incredibly large sum
and yet it represents but a fraction of
the money annually spent on automo
biles In the United States.
However, it is the pneumatic tire
that made thae modern motor car pos
sible, and In this capacity it deserves
first place in any dTjjmssion of motor
ing and the motor ''car.
There are tires and tires, and still
more tires! Almost as many differ
ent qualities as there are nonskid tread
designs and that is saying a whole
lot. All are made of rubber, or rather
rubber Is used In all of them; some
times there is much of it, more times
very little; thousands of tires of the
"nameless" variety have never been
nearer a chunk of real crude rubber
than five miles, and still may surprise
the owner by giving him good service,
their entire supply of rubber being 6t
the "reclaimed" sort. Others, made in
new plants by men of little experU
ence and according to untried meth
ods, may actually consist of 20 per
cent of the purest and finest Para gum,
and yet go to pieces after 2000 miles.
Just Within Law'i Limit.
To stamp a' tire on the outside "Sea
Island Cotton and Up-River Para Rub
ber," and then sell it for $50 on the
strength of that, may come about as
close to obtaining money under false
pretenses as the law will permit to slip
by without interference. .
In the manufacture of the high
class tire of today the materials are
naturally high grade; but so also were
the materials used In the tires of
nine or 10 years ago. The reason a
pneumatic tire of 1915 lasts from 2000
to 3000 miles longer than a similar
sized and priced tire of 1906 is mainly
the wonderful advance made in the
manufacturing process.
To the man in the street, making
automobile tires must seem the most
profitable business on earth. Just think
of it! One million five hundred thous
and motor cars in America, and each
r.eedis at least six new tires each year!
That's 9,000,000 tires at the very low
est estimate! And besides, the truck
tires, motorcycle and bicyclo tires, and
the well, you remember Colonel Sel
lers and his famous "There are mil
lions in it!"
Tires Sold Close. '
Unfortunately for the tire manufac
turers, there are not "millions in it!"
Tires today are sold so close to manu
facturing cost, plus a reasonable fac
tory profit, that quality production
alone makes the business profitable.
An automobile tire consists, as near
ly everybody knows, of two distinct
and separate parts the inner tube
and the shoe.
The former Is an endless tube of
as pure rubber as can be mechanically
treated and handled; the latter an ex
ceedingly complicated product of cot
ton, rubber, zinc and other Ingredi
ents Intended to strengthen and pre
serve the product against the effects
of heat, friction, oil and other causes
of deterioration.
A tire is not cast In a mold, as
some people continue to believe; It Is
built up, layer by layer; and, like every
other building. It has a foundation in
this case the fabric.
The first requirement of cotton fab
ric suitable for automobile tires is
great tensile strength. -The best
grade of Sea Island cotton, which has
a long and tough fiber. Is used usually
in the form of a close weave. A
"Weave" having from eight to 12
threads In a warp, and 20 warps to the
QUARTER
MILLION
SUM
square Inch In each layer, is a good ex
ctnple of high class woven fabric.
Not all makers, however, use cotton
weave of this type; for each has his
own ideas and opinions as to the exact
construction of the fabric; all of them
have been remarkably successful In In
creasing the life of their fabrics and
the tensile strength to which they can
be subjected without breaking.
Tires Are Built Up.
Some manufacturers utilize a series
of layers ef - strong oords, crossing
each other "on the bias," which method
has been found highly effective In pro
ducing tires that will stand very se
vere strains.
Upon the "core" (a metel form
which determines the ulUmate size and
type of the tire to be made) is stretch
ed a layer of the fabric saturated and
coated with Para robber.
Layer after layer , of this - rubber
permeated fabric Is added until the
desired thickness of the foundation ia
obtained.
Then the "bead" the side projection
which helps to hold the tire on the
rim is put on. Then the side walls
are added, and finally the cushion fa
joined to this growing tire.
When this cushion has been closely
Joined to the fabric, the manufacturer
has the choice of two "curing" or "vul
canizing" methods the so-called single
and double cure.
The former method consists In com
pleting the tire and then vulcanizing
and curing it. The latter cures the tire
In two operations, the first of which
takes place after the cushion has been
added to the fabric
The cushion attached, the body of
the tire Is complete. There still re
main to be attached the "breaker
strip" and the "tread."
Breaker Strip Comparatively New.
The breaker strip is a comparatively
new idea In tires, and has been built
In chiefly for the purpose of protec
tion ' against puncture through the
tread, and of effecting a closer . union
between the cushion and the tread.
The breaker strip often is permeated
with puncture-resisting materials.
Aside from great diversity in out
side appearance, there is considerable
difference In the inner construction of
tire treads. Compounds of rubber and
mineral substances they are, one and
all. And it is the honesty and reputa
tion of the manufacturer, alone which
guard the purchaser against worthless
tires, for they can be made to look ex
actly alike from the outside. "Re
claimed rubber" of small resiliency. In
combination with heavy mineral com
pounds, is used In the cheaper grades
of tires, and it is poor economy to
buy any but the best. Individual pref
erences will cause one motorist to
choose a Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestone
or Fisk tire; others pin their faith to
United States, Pennsylvania or Port
age makes; while still others prefer
AJax, Dayton, Federal, Kelly-Springfield,
Lee, Racine, Republican, Dia
mond, Miller or Nassau tires. General
ly speaking, the motorist is safe in
purchasing these products. It behooves
him to be cautious, however, when of
fered "factory seconds" or some type
of tire bearing r.o name at all, but
merely the dubious "34x4 Clincher" or
34x36 Q- D." They may last 2500
miles more likely, however, they will
blow out after a month or so.

Goodyear Fortified Tires offer thVbest
we know. They are. built to give you the
lowest cost per mile. They minimize tire
trouble In five costly' ways employed by
no other maker. And they are always the
6ame, regardless of price reductions.
Most tires will always sell higher, be
cause of smaller output.' Some tires will
always sell lower because of lower stand
ards. But we promise you that none will
ever give better than Goodyear value.
This policy has made Goodyears the
largest-selling tires in the world. It will
