It will tell you the exact condition, of the highway from Salem to Newport LEAVING Salem you follow the Pacific Highway to Jefferson which is 18 miles from Sa lem, then on to Albany 10 miles farther. This portion of the trip Is all on paring and the streets of the towns are plainly marked with highway signs so yon cannot miss the road. The bridge at Albany, Is closed, so you turn to the left at the foot of the bridge and take the east side route to Corrallis,- 41 miles from Salem. This Is an. excellent gravel road. Follow the Newport - highway signs out of Corrallis and you will find a gravel road taking you into Philomath, 49.5 miles from Salem.

Highway engineers nr tnHav faced with these figures, are. teaming me lessons that the rail road engineers solved years ago, and now realize why the railroad. spent millions of dollars in cutting ciown unnecessary mileaee hv mat ing huge; cuts and fills, bridging ravines end tunneling mountains, so as to be able to cut out every extra mfte in the transportation ot passengers and freight. Jn the early days of railroad construction this was not done, and not until their own traffic engineers 'com piled valaatle traffic census fig ures that - actually .showed, the transportation costs ; per. jnJle..'T The average automobile owner gives little thought to an extra mile of highway, but when, his own,, mileage is-multiplied by five hundred or a thousand, for a pe riod of a week; month or year, the results obtained are unbeliev- rable.

Dad- j The general business situation is ' featured : by r' decreasing prices and diminishing sales and manu facturing activity. These devel opments have affected some in dustries more than others, but are felt in practically all. of them. Lumber, dependent as it Is on the activity of other consuming in dustries, consequently is in a state' bordering on ' depression, and prices have shown t a further weakening. Prospects are rather uncertain, but it is generally felt that the present dullness is largely due .to ' the backward . spring and to political uncertainties, and that these obstacles to business pros perity are on the point of disap pearance, says the American Lum berman, Chicago. Unfavorable weather has delayed construction work and sales of important wood users such as the automobile In dustry; but 'confidence Is strong that the next month, when real Spring-like weather ought to be enjoyed, will .witness . considera ble stimulation in 'both these fields as well as In other manufacturing lines which ere more or less influ enced by rainfall and temperature. It Is also believed that the presi dential nominations wilt be fol lowed by a clearing of the political skies, so that the general expecta tion is of stimulated business by midsummer, though it is frequent ly pointed out that the vacation. season - then . begins to Interpose itself and that little quickening in trade can be looked for until Aug ust. " '" t .' .... .;, Southern pine manufacturers report a fair, but not seasonal, volume of business, and stiff com petition for all' orders offered. The result has been a further weakening of prices, though the larger mills as a rule will make concessions only on items ; of which they have accumulated a surplus. Mill stocks generally are still subnormal and are not well assorted. The small mUs. which for a considerable period of this year were prevented from shipping on account . y of poor roads, are now moving out large quantities of lumber, and their marketing this undoubtedly ac counts to a grekt extent for the weakness of southern pine. , Little change lias occurred In the Douglas fir market. Rail de mand, though Increased: over ; a month ago. Is still rather sluggish, and the cargo markets do-not show much life, except the Atlan tic seaboard, which continues to consume all the Pumber that ves sel space can be obtained for. ' 'Southern hardwoods, being in comparatively dull .demand, con tinue to develop weakness, but the northern varieties, being scarcer. hold firmly to previous levels. IMPROVE DIESET4 y V. !

' ; "The Road to Happiness" films are distributed free from all Ford Branches In the United States and since' the first of them went out a few (weeks ago the demand for their showing has been so great that it has been necessary to sup ply every branch with extra copies. The picture tells of the Influ ence of Improved highways upon the social, i. educational, ' religious and economic phases of life In rur al communities, and the need for skilled highway engineering to bring about the improvement, the moral of all of which is that "We pay for ; Improved -I roads whether we hare them or not, and we pay less if . we have them than If we hate not."
