OVER A 'QUARTER MILLION PEOPLE trip. Over 250 pounds of luggage shared the car with the three ' passengers. The party left Oakland pier at 7 o'clock on the morning of April 1 and made Corning. Cal., for the first night. The roads as far as Coming were found to be In splendid condition, so with no trouble to the car they departed from Corning the next morning at a chicken rising hour. and hit the road for Medford, arriving there In time for supper and bed. The highway up to the Oregon line was found to be in good shape, with the exception of a rough spot or two south of Dunsmuir, where some road work has been done. All hills along this route were made In high gear with little or no trouble. The roads Were found to be rough here and there, but easily passable. . A number of small slides were found in the mountains, but road crews were busy clearing them away, and the road all the distance) from south of Duns muir to Medford should" be in excellent condition within the next week. A few rough - places were discovered in Grants Pass,, arid the detour around-Smith hill in the 'Hugo section was found to be not exactly a boulevard. Cow Creek canyon was in excellent condition.
