McO-ee drove up over the highway last week with his family in one of tin; new six 46 Buicks and is loud in his praise of the road im provements, especially In the moun tain districts of both California and Oregon. Soad Conditional At Present. In speaking of road conditions and the trip In general. Mc'Jeo says: "(in the pre.sent trip no effort was made at fast time. We left San Francisco at 9. 3d Friday evening, arriving; at Koselnirs Sunday at S p. m Monday was spent in visiting; relatives near Rosehurg;, and the run to Portland finished Tuesday. "The mad Improvements started as soon us we were off the Kausallto boat and continued in. til we were on the paved streets of Portland. There is at this time less than -0 miles of really bad toad between San Francisco and Portland, ami in must Instances this Is caused by detours around con struction work. The highway is most ly completed between San Francisco and CornlnR. What is known as the hack road will be found best between Corning and Red P.luff The highway between lied Iiluff and Redding is mostly graded anil is a big improve ment over the old route.

New Bridges Built. "A new concrete bridge has been built across the Sacramento river at Redding and another one has been built across tho Pitt river at Balrd. These both take the piace of ferry boats. Another big bridge across the Sacramento river at Dunsmulr is aJ most completed. This bridge will eliminate a bad grade and railroad crossing. From I'unsmuir north the toad via Gazrll Is In fine shape and good time can be made over it, and as the motorist is in constant sight of Ml. Shasta which rises to an eleva tion of more than 1 4.000 feet, this Is rme of tho most picturesque parts of the trip. When hearing Montague from the south, conflicting road signs ere encountered. The life towns of reka and Montague are both fighting for the motor travel, and both have road signs stating t'-.at the best route Is through their town. The fact re mains, however, that the S'ale high way runs through Yreka, and this Is the route that should be followed into 1 lornbrook.

McGee, in company with other mem bers of the Howard organization. h the way, hold several time records be S. B. Stevens, a millionaire sportsman of Rome, New York, driving a Marmon 34, arrived at Third and Marktt streets, San Francisco, at five o'clock, Saturday afternoon, July 29th, just 5 days, I8V2 hours after the car had left Columbus Circle, New York City, 3476 miles away. Fastest Cross Continent Journey This completed the most remarkable and fastest journey ever made across the United States in a motor car the average rate of speed being almost equal to the schedule of the fast transconti nental railroad trains. The car was a Marmon 34 touring car of regular production and was driven by Mr. Stevens , and other amateurs un der the auspices of the American De fense Society to demonstrate the possi J highway bridge just tween Portland and Pan Francisco, for both truck and pleasure cars. The first record was made In July of 1912, when a Ruick truck carried a full capacity load from San Francisco to Portland In 61 hours and five min utes. In August, 1313. McGee and Fred Gross, in one of the email Buick roadsters, traveled the route In 40 hours and 15 minutes In August 1 1 1 4, the same crew drove a small Ruick touring car from San Francisco to Portland in hours and 25 minutes. Acfo in Five 181 Hours Marmon Establishes Transcontinental Record New York to San Francisco 3476 Miles in This Almost Unbelievable Time The Marmon 34 which established this record is the same in every re spect, except body changes, as the cars ready for delivery here now.

CHAS. 11 ROAD LAWS SAID TO BE IN CONFLICT; NEW E Some of the Passages in Duplicate and Much Con fusion Is Said to Exist, SECTIONS ARE DISCUSSED Outline Submitted Witn View of Aid In; State Association of County Juiljes in Drafting1 New Code. According to an outline of the rond laws prepared by the state highway dep trt met: t , Oregon has D.'7 sections relating to to. ids Many of the.e are in direct conflict with each other. Some are exact duplicates either in language or intent. Furthermore, sections relat Inc to the same subject are not sys tematically brought together, and as a result there is much confusion and un certain I '. The enactments are the product of the last r'. years. A typical example of duplicat'on is found in chapters 1 juid 01 of the laws of l'.ill!, relating to contracts and hours of labor on public works. F.ach law contains six sections, which n re word for word the name. Instances of positive conflict are found in the two versions of section hiK!, given in chapters 111" and 1H4 of the laws of Ifir,, relating to the time at which chntitres In the subdivisions of counties into road districts shnil be made. Example Sat Forth, Also In Section i,4::t and chapter 1, laws Jt' l'.'l.''., section ", relating to the emplocmen' on the public rouds of persnr..s sentenced to the county ,jnll. In the mat'er of the length of service and rate of compensation when work ing out a line. )ei ImI ping authority. unfld re-spons.bil-.t y and duplication of pro cedure, with distinction between meth ods I'ootiy defined, are further sources of confusion For example, section f,?79 prrvides for the opening of county roads pon ; petition, and chapter 347 of the laws j of lOl.'i apparently is intended to pro 1 vide for the opening of toads upon proceedings instituted Viy resolut on of tlie county court. Tins latter tilings about confusion and uncertainty by Its reference to a petition for which no provision is made. Another instance of confusion, and one that has caused trouble In the at tempt to administer the law, is. the provision of chapter 142 of the laws of 1913, requiring the preparation of plans and specif icatlonti, etc., from county surveys Or roadmaster, with out making sufficiently clear which one. This causes much friction be tween road authorities. Condition Termed Chaotic. Perhaps the most chaotic condition In road matters was brought about by the consolidation of the office o slate highway ei.gineer with that of Mate engineer, while at the tame time dele gating charge of the highway depart ment to a chief deputy state engineer. The main trouble in road nutters Days RECOMMENDED S'S JEI 34 ble speed and reliability of motor trans portation across the continent. What This Test Means This epoch-making run by the Mar mon 34 demonstrates again the sound ness of its advanced scientific con struction the extensive use of alumi num, the deep section frame, the new rear spring suspension, the self oiling chassis lubrication system and other feat ures. Consider the pounding, racking and wrenching incidental to such a journey more than 2100 miles of average roads at an average of more than 32 miles an hour, thence over mountain roads made almost impassable by rain storms; through deserts with only rough trails to follow. Think what it means to go from New York to San Francisco 3476 miles, at an average of better than 25 miles an hour. AUTO CO. &ORTLAND, OREGON r A-4959 M. MENZIES, Sales Manager.
