Our route h om e from San Francisco was along tin* coast thru Petaluma, KureVa, Crescent City to ll.mdon, thence to Roschurg and along the high way to Oregon City and home. This route, while not improved as much as the main highway, was one of (In* fin est at this time of the year that a m o torist could select. The rugged and abrupt coast line along the or,»an in northqrn California presents the most wonderful scenic route in the west, and the drive thru llit* forests of Redwood trees from EureKa to Crescent City, was a revela lion to the novice. A person familiar with the timber on the Pacific coast, and the large fir trees, has never seen any timber in comparison with tin* Redwoods. The bark somewhat in a p pearance of the cedar, grows very thick on the trees and the trees them selves are so large, tall and stra ig ht that I could not give you a description of tlie’n, without immediately start ing a question as to my truth and veracity. We were fortunate in leaving the earlv part of June, as in both states the highway was in good condition and work for the summer ju s t commencing, but on *he way borne we were in rough and dusty going at many places, where the road crews were improving the highway.

When I b>»t mine in Oregon the dealer he it at ingly guaranteed from five to seven thousand miles, and on inquiry I found that the tires stand from 15 to 20 thousand miles as a usual thing. On these roads a 60 or 70 mile drive is often made before breakfast, and those Californians with a sp e i d limit of 25 miles go from one part of the state ar.d home again in such easy, quick tone that, it makes us Oregonians dizzy, in fact makes you think that \<» ii are sleeping anti having a dream.
