Alaska Highways
Will Be Improved
Roads In Various Parta of Territory
Are to Receive Immediate Attention j
of Commission.
Highway development has extended
to Alaska. The wagon road leading
out of Skagway is to receive the Im
mediate attention of the Alaska road
commission. Roads leading out of
Juneau are to be Improved and ex
tended. The portage road on Prince
of Wales island will come In for its
share of betterment, as will the roads
leading from Sitka. Recent develop
ment in the Porcupine district make
a substantial road necessary. To the
westward the Valdez-Falrbanks road
will be the chief center of interest.
The cost for this improvement has been
provided for by congress. It Is esti
mated that It will cost $800 per mile
to construct. It will cover a distance
of 400 miles.

Owing to construction work it Is in
advisable to attempt to make the trip
to Stevenson In Skamania county,
Wash., by way of Vancouver and along
the north bank of the Columbia river.
The road from Vancouver to the Ska
mania county line is in good condition,
but beyond that there is a bad run
going flown into Prindle and between
Pi-indle and a point five miles this
side of Stevenion the road is, badly cut
up by grading crews.
It is quite probable that it will be
in this condition all this season.
When the construction Is completed
Skamania county will have a good
highway, one that will supplement the
Columbia river highway on the Oregon
shore. It is being built on proper
lines and in sijf-h a manner that it can
be improved as the traffic demands.
Besides making more accessible a
large tract of undeveloped country it
will have a valuable scenic character.
This is of varied form and different
from that on the Oregon shore, making
a trip up one shore and down the other
a continual delight.
As a matter of fact one gets a bet'.'v
view of the bluffs and waterfalls of
the Oregon bank from the Washington
side than from the Oregon side. Tho
perspective is similar to that of a
theatre.

Motor Lines Are

The Arizona state corporation com
mission Iss issued an order affecting
all motor lines within the state The
motors must run on a fixed schedule
at a speed not in excess of 25 miles
an hour. A bond must be given the
state for observance of all regulations.
A novel point is that accident and
death policies must be provided for all
passengers. Light cars weighing un
der 20dO pounds must not carry more
than 130 pounds excess barrage and
heavy cars 350 pounds, so stowed as
not to extend beyond running boards.
Drivers must be at least 21 jears of

THE 1917 Grant Six is a generously proportioned, high grade five-passenger
touring car. We believe it is not only the roomiest, but the best
looking, most powerful and flexible Six of moderate price money can buy.
If you have in mind the beauty shorn, cramped, thin-cushioned body of the average
car at its price
If you think you are going to find the springs trimmed down
If you suspect that the full-floating RearAxle is full-floating in name only
If you think the Starting or Lighting System is anything but the highest grade and
most efficient the market affords
If you think there is any chance for money to buy a better motor, better ignition
system, better carburetor, better transmission, better bearings, it will pay you to
come and see the 1917 Grant
You will find the 1917 Grant Six has every feature that you look for in a first class,
high grade, six-cylinder car. Its quality, its economy and its power will confirm the
good opinion implanted in the minds of motorists everywhere by the splendid records
of this car.
NOTE THESE GREAT FEATURES Wonderful Grant Six Overhead Valve Motor el nckiif
