Above Claude McGee's liuick in
The Pacific highway connecting
Washington and Oregon with Cali
fornia is soon to be an accomplished
fact, aceordlng to the report of O. A.
McUee. of the Howard Auto Co., of
San Kraic ist o. 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

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

North from Redding the highway is
graded to within three miles of An

roads on the entire trin are encoun

mid DurLsniuir, but Inasmuch as there
is now only about- 10 miles of bad
road where formerly there was Uj
miles, the experienced motorist will
be patient for a while at least, as
there Is every Indication that the!
highway is to be completed right
through the Sacramento canyon, in
the near future.
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

Touring Records Established.
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.

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

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.
