Boss, to hienZZ jktardajr, May 28j Highways More Than Pay Return E. J. Adams Says Mon ey Spent on Roads Represents Invest ment Well Made Washington, May 28. "High way construction ia much more than aelf-smpporting," Bald E. J. Adams, secrtary to Senator Stan field, when interviewed on the proposed Townsend bill which will provide lor a national system of roads under the administration of a centralized authority which will be competent to frame a nation wide policy fair to all. Farmers Suffer Loss. "It has been estimated" said Mr. Adams, that the average haul on roads the country over, is about ten miles. The cost of hauling of farm produce to market is 33c per ton mile over unimproved roads and 16c per ton mile over improv ed roads, a saving of 17c per ton mile where Improved roads are used. 1'his would mean a saving of $1.70 per ton if all our roads were improved. It muHt also be remembered that about 80 per cent of Ihe tonnage is hauled over bout 20 percent of the road. Thus the improvement of about 20 per cent of Ihe aggregated mileage will save 80 percent of this enor mous ,i tin nil losa. 1,000,000,000 Tons Annually. "Since the total tonnage of farm products is approximately 1,000, 000,000 tons per year, the loss thru bad roads approximates $1, 700,000,000 annually, or to put Oit optimistically, we have the op portunity to save 11,700,000,000 per year to our producers of farm protluctB if we will only develop our main highway systems. 25,000 Miles Most Important.

(e) "tlreater efficiency and more pleasure for 35,000,000 users of automobiles. (f) "Less expense in maintain ing and operating over 9.000,000 motor vehicles.

Mar 2id,l2L Condition of the Pactfle high way south from Portland is re ported by the state highway com mission as follows: Portland to Roseburg No detours are necessary be tween Portland and Salem, via Milwaukie and Oregon City. Leav ing Salem, traffic will be routed all summer via the Liberty road and over Ankeny Hill to a coennc tion with the new pavement Nortli of Jefferson. This route gives approximately 3 miles of county paving and 8 miles of rock road, which is rough in spots. This road is good from this con- irsction. thru Jefferson and Corvallis, and thence down the West Side Highway thru Junction City and Eugene. About June 1st. the road will be closed from Corvallis to Junction City for. all thru traffic. This is necessary on account of the con crete paving being laid for 8 miles south of Corvallis. Notice will be given the press, in ad vance, of the closing of this road and large signs will be erected at each junction of the East and West side hlRliways and at any other point wehere North and South traffic might get on the wrong road. At present, there is no interruption to traffic between Junction City and Walker. Between Walker and Cottage Grove, bituminous pavement is being laid and the road is open to traffic until 8 A. M. ; for a few minutes at 10 a. m.; between 12 and 1 p. m.; for a few minutes at 3 p. m.; and between 5 p. m. and 8 a. m. A little later In the season, probably about June 6th, concrete pavement will be started betweenj Goshen and Walker. The greater part of this pavement can be laid without any inconvenience to traf fic. Suitable detours will be prov ided and the detours will be well signed. From Cottage Grove to Hose burg, there are no holdups to traf- opera about Divide and fic at this time. Paving tions will be started on lune Gth between Drain and approximately the same hours for allowing traffic to pass will be observed. Enough dif ference in time of open hours will be allowed on the respective jobs so traffic can travel on schedule without unnecessary delay. Pav inir is now complete on the Oak- lnnrt-Yoncalla Section. Paving will soon be resumed on the sec tion between Sutherlin and Wil bur. Where possible, suitable de tours will be provided.

Mr. Young found a perfect ly good Cranston press on his hands; his ' forms" for the daily paper "3ie "locked up" and on the bed of the press and his mail ing clerk was ready to get the pa per into Ihe mails. But there was no "juice". The motor would not run off the paper without the mo tor being started. While Voung-pondered the sit uation he 'thought of his flivver.

Yosemite National Park. A Studebaker LlGHT Six, piloted by Hart L. Weaver and carrying a crew of five men from the Cheater N. Weaver Company, was the first automobile to reach the Yosemite National Park over any one of the three snow covered roads under its own power this year. The car went over the narrow and dangerous Coulterville road, bucking snow as deep as ten feet in some places, arriving in Yosemite Valley, January 16. 2. Round Trip Record Between San Francisco and Los Angeles. On February 2 the same car, driven by Hart L. Weaver and James F. Gurley of the Chester N. Weaver Company, established a new round trip record between San Francisco and Lo? Angeles, a distance of 864.8 miles, in the sensational time of 21 hours and 23 minutes. 3. Coast Route Record from San Francisco to Los Angeles. On the round trip record of February 2 the Studebaker Light-Six lowered the coast route record from San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2 hours, 35 minutes and 20 seconds. The former record was 12 hours, 47 minutes and 50 seconds, the time of the Stude baker Light-Six being 10. hours, 12 minutes and 30 seconds for the distance of 453.7 miles. The pilots were Hart L. Weaver and James F. Gurley. 4j allV! Roate Record Between Los Angeles and San Francisco. On February 24 the Studebaker Light-Six smashed the valley route record between Los Angeles and San Francisco, running the distance of 411 1 miles) in the remarkable time of 9 hours, 15 minutes and 50 seconds. This record was made all the more remark able on account of the car having to" go through a dense fog a distance of more than 100 miles between Tulare ""J raerceo. i ne pilots were Hart L Wea .lames r . uurley. 5. Los Angeles Phoenix Record. On the morning of March 23 the LlGHT-SlX left Los Angeles m an at tempt to lower the fifth and only remaining record consequence on the Pacific Cat. The 422 miles o! desert trail from Los Angeles to Phoenix were made in 13 hours 16 minutes, and 2 hours 28 minutes were taken from the best previous automobile record. The railroad time is 14 hours 20 minutes, or 1 hour 4 minutes slower than ihe record established by the LlGHT-SlX. Hart L. Weaver of the Chester N. Weaver CoP8" Studebaker Distributors in San Francisco, made tne following statement after the completion of the Lo Angeles -Phoenix ran: "These tests have demonstrated on the road every thing that Studebaker engineers have claimed for tne new LlGHT-SlX-cylinder car. When it is rernemberea that the bore and stroke of this car is only 3 x giving it a piston displacement of 207 cubic inches, ana that the car fully equipped only weighs 2500 pounds, these records are all the more remarkable s-ce most them were formerly held by heavier cars costing rnocn more than the Studebaker Light-Six. I am inclined w believe that the secret of this car's wonderful perform ance, and readability is due in a very large measure iu biilc, una roaaaniiuy 13 uue in a vei y kc remarkable balance. Halved or quartered the Parts" the new Light-Six would weigh approximately the same. "In making the Los Angeles - Phoenix record I frank to confess that despite my faith in the stamina Studebaker automobiles I could not believe that any c could make the speed over that desert road with its ra and chuck holes that was necessary in order to 'ower. y record by a large margin without falling to pieces. A" automobile, irrespective of weight, power or price that can lower the record established by the Studeoaaw Light-Six will have my most sincere admiration.
