KUmath county has one of the most
picturesque highway In Oregon. It fa
the drive along the eastern shore of mpper
Klamath lake. It is distinguished from
o'ther scenic highways in the state from
the fact that , it presents an unrivaled
view of lake and mountain. For a dis
tance of approximately 20 miles the high
way, which is a link iii The Dalles-California
highway, skirts the 'shore 'of the
lake rising at times to an elevation of
several hundred feet as It rounds rocky
points. For; miles the lake lies before
the eye to be lost In the fringe of green
timber and the serried ridges of the Cas
cade mountains over which Mount Mc
laughlin, or as it is most popularly
termed. Mount Pitt stands sentinel at an
elevation of approximately - 8000 feet
above the sea. Along the highway are
several large sawmills and a , Xew
ranches. . A

: The 5 most commanding point on the
highway is known: as Mbdoo point, a
large : promontory where the hiehwav
reaches- its highest elevation above the
water; some 20 miles north of Klamath
: Falls, j It is a local tradition that the late
E. XL- Harrlman pronounced; the , view
.from this point one-oT the most magnifi
cent. in the United States. From it one
can see over Pelican bay and the' upper
: end of the lake and under favorable at
mospheric conditions the white summit ef
' Mount Shasta springs into view, s

way but it Ur one of the commercial roads
of Klamath county as it connects. Klam
ath Falls with the rich country of the'
Klamath fndjsm agency.
It li one of , the ortglnal roadr of the
county 'bUtit .underwent: modification
when the railroa came. In making the
railroad grade a great deal of the high,
way was appropriated - with the result
that the highway became a series - of
steep pitches and sharp turns. This con
dition has now been eliminated ty the
completion of a standard grade from Al
goma to Lamm's MUL Of this nr trade
there only1 remains to be macadamized a
five-mile stretch , between Barclay
Springs and Lamm's milL
The cost of the new highway will ap-

cooperative between the state, federal
government and the county.
MUST BE DOITE OTEB
The first section of the highway to be
put under construction was from the
north 'dty limits of Klamath Falls
through Pelican, city to a Junction with
the old rood for a total length of 3.3
, miles.. The new route is more aoente mil
shorter than the old road and eliminates
"Adobe HUV one of the worst pieces of
road in the county during the winter
season. Tne railroad track. Is crossed
with an overhead structure about one
mile north of Pelican city. . Grading and
macadamizing en this section was begun
late in the fall of 191S and finished in the
fall of 1930. - The work vu don b h
Klamath county court on the basis of
eosx pins io per cent. . v
When finished the i Jobx was unsatis-
lactory ana the cost had greatly ex
ceeded the estimate. It will have to be
gone over again.
The next section, of the highway to be
put under contract was the one north of
the above mentioned to the sooth era
boundary of the Klamath Indian
vationet Barclay springs, a distance of
ppnuuiaiuay nine miles. This contract
for grading' and macadamising was let
m Ml but the work moved slowly. It
wm not compieiea untu ralte recently.
The total estimate of the cost of this sec
tion fs 1145,000. Of this amount the state
Is to pay $3,S7. the county 33C375 and
the federal government 372J57.
The last section, from Barclay Springs

was finished shortly . after the first of

Is 3S1.S00 of which, the county contributed
$20,00a There was no federal aid on
this project
, During construction the county oper-
axea a terry between . Barclay Springs

Among price 5 revisiona - downward ' In
the. automotive world this year, of im
portance to business . interests is the
sweeping reduction in the selling price
of GMC trucks, 'announced by the -General
Motor Truck company.. ..
, This Is made possible by greater 'pro
duction in all capacities. The flat cut
of $500 in the instance of the one-ton
GMC is the most marked. . This truck,
known as model K-16, is. the outgrowth
of the model that was made a. standard
of the United States army. . The current
model presents many refinements, -i
Principal arnom? them la the new GMC
engine with removable cylinder walls,
proven by comprehensive ; tests to be
without a superior for ita purpose. This
truck also has electric lights and starter,
larger brakes, pressure lubricating sys
tem, cord tires and many desirable bet
terments. Maxwell Proves Its
Economy in Test on
Course of 256 Miles
in a recent economy test staged by

economy- says T. K. Harrington, local
Maxwell-Chalmers dealer..
"Over a difficult course of 25 miles,
from Sacramento .to Lake Tahoe and
back, the Maxwell returned a class win
ner, .with an average of 24.4 miles per
gallon of gasoline.
In the last few weeks a Maxwell has
broken the record for time between Fort-
land and Oakland: -another beat the
fastest, train between Sacramento and
Reno by two and a half hours; a third
has climbed the Old Toll house grade
near Fresno, in : second gear, the first
car to officially accomplish this feat;
and now a fourth Maxwell takes class
honors in a difficult economy run.
