A. 'King Wilson Believes That Sl.OOO,. .
000 Annually Should Be Bailed i
for Btats Highways.
'"As a number of 'men are seeking
our vote for nomination to tho legis
lature. Jt Is appropriate." said A. Kin
JWilson. mayor of Oswego, tnai
JthouKhtr' and attention should be paid
t the subject of what legislation
should be enacted by our next lesisla
tura on the subject of good roaJs. One
Of tho questions which will oe pre
Mtittd to the legislature is an appro
priation for construction of roads.
"The citizen are interested In know
ing by what means money will be
raised for Kood roads, and how it will
bo ependert; and the question of road
building by' the state Is one of the
most important questions that will ba
for consideration before the next iegis
lature. Money for Trunk Boaas.
"The 1913 legislature made t tax of
one auarter of 1 "mill on the property
of tho state, which has produce! about
1250,000 annually. If the legislature
would make a tax of . mill. It would
produce 11,000,000 annually. This sum
of money could be expended on main
trunk line roads. The roads should be
located arwl the grade and curve fixed
by the state engineer, disretfarli.ig as
far as possible road district Hues and
county lines, and It should bo hard
surfaced under his direction. U the
State built the main trunk lines, til's
counties could build shorter roads
leading Into the main ones; then tho
burden for improvement wau'd he
equally borne, and the citizens 'a each
locality would have some control of
tho amount of tax and location of the
roads.
Paved Boad to Salem Hooded.
"A hard surfaced road from Tort-
land to Salem would be used mor9 than
any other 60 miles of road that tould
bo built in the state. A provision
could b made In the law th.it this
road was to be continued south until
it reached the California line. Later
a road could be built east anl west
clear across 4he state. If then wag a
million dollars used annually, it it
would not be long until theso rods
were finished. As Multnomah county
baa already expended a large sum of
money on good roads, it would not be
necessary- to spend any statetnoney In
Multnomah county.
"What we need now are good hard
surfaced roads o.utsldo of Multnomah
county.'

This includes the double cowl with

front and has a panel of finished oak.
The extra seats are made to fold) away
under the back of the front seats. The

First reports on tho condition of
the central Oregon highways have just
been received from tho membora of
Tho Journal's touring service, which
Is now operating a car In charge of
of s central and eastern Oregon. The
report of Its flrat travels Indicate
good and fair roads from Portland
to Bend.
The first stretch, from The Dalles
to Dufux and Wapinita, Is In fine
shape, dry and smooth. Tho speed
ometer showed 47.5 miles, of which
every mile could bo classed as fine
road. Tho new grade down tho hill
Into Tygb. valley was formally opened
to traffic Friday.
Tho roads from Wapinita, through
Shlmnaso, Warm Springs agency and
Mecca to Madras are In good, pass
able shape, dry but rough in places.
These roads will be better as soon as
travel wears them down a bit. The
grade down the mountain side Into
Warm Springs canyon Is In good
shape for travel and safe enough,
but a little rocky. The stretch from
Mecca to Madras is in fine shape.
Fishing Zs Splendid,
A good, smooth grade out of the
Deschutes canyon and fine fiat roads
take you to Madras in no time. The
distance from Mecca to Madras la 16
miles. The roads from Madras to
Prineville also will be found In good
shape and Offer. S3 miles of fine,
smooth roads over which almost any
speed can be made.
The stretch from Prineville to Bend
will be found a little rough, but easy
going If the speed is kept down. The
scenery along that country is wonder
ful, and the fishing is great in the
Deschutes. The Journal pathfinders
have too much ground to cover, so did
not stop to try their luck, but every
one told them that they could send in
the word "great," relative to the
Deschutes.
The tourists will report all the
reads of the country. Their next epl
sode will deal with the road to Silver
Liake and - other points of interest
through the heart of the state.

Griffin Hero to Start Something.
Jack Griffin, editor of "Mr. Max
Diary" and "Pacific Pepper," the pub
lications devoted to the Maxwell in
terests on the coast, is In town "doing
the Bights" with William J. LaCasse,
local manager of the Maxwell corpora
tion. Grlfrin has not yet recovered
from the sunburn which he got driv
ing the first Maxwell to Lake Tahoe
in the Sierras. The trip was 'one of
the roughest ever taken by a little
automobile, but Griffin still Insists
that the only reason they left the car
at the lake was because they wanted
to be sure and have the evidence for
all the daubters. As Griffin is a pret
ty Rood sport, his word has been ac
cepted, though it is generally conceded
that making that trip one way at that
time of the year was about all any
driver would care to do.

With Announcement of Business Ar

W. J. LaCasse, head of Maxwell In
terests in this section of the country,
has returned from a long stay In Salt
Lake City where he contracted with
the Utah-Idaho Motor company to dis
tribute the Maxwell In the states of
Idaho and Utah and portions of Mon
tana and Nevada during the 1917 sell
ing season.
Governor William Spry of Utah, for
mer Governor Gobding of Idaho and
N. T. Porter of Salt Lake City are the
guiding figures In the Utah-Idaho Mo
tor company.
Mr. LaCasse prevailed on Governor
Spry and N. T. Porter to make a trip
east, visiting all the factories In the
quantity production field. The trip
was made, and immediately on their
return to Salt Lake .City the Utah
delegation announced Its decision In
favor of the Maxwell.
"Our visit to the Maxwell plant waa
a revelation to both Mr. Porter and
myself," Governor Spry told Mr. La
Casse on his return. "It was a won
derful presentation of modern effi
ciency and the highest type of busi
ne ortnnizatftm." "
According to Manager LaCasse,
Maxwell representation throughout the
northwest this coming season will be
on the same high plane as that in
Utah and Idaho.
Foreign Built Cars

Indianapolis, May IS. Three more
Delage cars have been entered In the
sixth annual international sweepstakes
race to be run on the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway May SO. They are a
part of the New Tork Speedway team.

York Oracle, Is "fathering" tho foreign
built cars that are to be driven by Carl
Llmberg, Jack LeClaln- and the third
perhaps by Major Gaston Morris, who
has been serving in the Carranta army.

tory at Indianapolis In 1914. They are
the cars built for the French Grand
Prix race in 1914. The fourth Delage

- Drive at tho Close of the Say Re

Tho "after dinner ride" has become
an much an established institution -is
the "after1 dinner smoke," judging hy
the number of machines tluxt make
their appearance on the roads about
tho city Just after the close of the day.
These, past few evenings with the long
twilight have been especially con
ducive to a short turn over the boule- ;
jvards. !
The rides are many and of infinite
variety, but just as example may be
taken the one outlined by the Chalmers
Six-30 and the Journal Service -one .
: evenlny of last week. It is to Beaver
, ton and return, taking different routes
over portions of the way, .
: Portland is left behind by golnr m
Jefferson street and out the Canyon '
froad, passing through Sylvan and
taking the road straight ahead. After
that comes a short stretch of pave
"rnent which winds down the hillside
' to tho Tualatin valley bottom.
' Tho Washington county portion of
the trip will be found pretty rough in
spots., but for easy driving the road
.Is in fair shape. Returning from
Beaverton. which Is eight miles from
'the. city, the Mount Zion cut-off offers
an interesting piece of road for night
driving, with long views oyer the i
,bi:ghtly lighted city and environs. !
. This cut-off is on the right hand :
aide, bout SOO feet east of the Sylvan
crossing, it tarings you in at Portland
.Heights, with the choice., of several
routes to get down the hill.
