Highway History
By RALPH WATSON
Public Relations Consultant
The Highway Commission
went through a period of stress
anH EtrnofTlp riurine the nerinri
rancrlncr frnm October 1. 1932 to
June 30, 1936. During that time
the legislature set me nscai
year from July 1 to June 30 to
establish uniform state account
ing) and the commission brought
its statistics into line with this
procedure. The close of 1936
marked the 20th year of the com
mission's activities since its be
ginning in 1917. That period, too,
saw the birth of the "alphabet''
government the NRA, the WPA,
the PW A conceived in Washing,
ton to bolster sagging industry
and ameliorate widespread un
employment by government gifts,
grants in aid and loans. The
1936 report sets out gross ex
penditures during 1917-36 of
$231,384,678 (including the PWA
coast bridge projects) of which
$15,606,540 were county funds:
$35,322,019 government, $179,780,
377 state, and $675,740 were con
tributions from miscellaneous
sources. Of the state funds ex
pended $53,084,039 were bond
and interest retirements. During
the 19 years ending December
31, 1935, the Bureau of Public
Roads spent $19,496,319 for con
struction and maintenance ol
forest roads on the state high
way system, of which $12,131,607
were federal forest road funds,
$2,177,222 county cooperative
funds, and $5,187,489 state co
operative funds.
During this time Henry F. Ca
bell of Portland succeeded Leslie
Scott as chairman; Judge F. L.
Touvelle of Jacksonville succeed
ed Carl Washburn of Eugene,
while Charles K. Spaulding, Sa
lem; William Hanley of Burns;
and J. C. Ainsworth of Portland
served as commissioners for
brief periods.
The high spot of the four
years was the financing, con
struction and opening of the five
highway bridges to toll-free traf
fic. First planned as toll bridges
to be financed by revenue bonds
retirable out of toll earnings, un
der a contract agreement witn
the Public Works Administra
tion, the commission, under legi
slative authority, agreed to sell
$4,200,000 of revenue bonds to
finance 70 of cost, 30 being
a federal grant. Before thai
agreement was carried out the
legislature of 1935, confronted
with general public opposition
lo tolls, authorized the commis
sion to issue and sell general
obligation bonds in the open
market, which was done.
The five bridges were built
for a total cost of $5,435,867, (in
cluding engineering and miscel
laneous charges of $104,622) the
Yaquina Bay bridge costing $1,
301,016; Alsea-Waldport, $778,
260; Siuslaw-Florence, $527,063;
Umpqua-Reedsport, $581,467; and
Coos Bay, $2,143,391, a total oi
$166,132 below the engineers'
estimates.
The 1935 legislature also estab
lished the Travel Information
Bureau which spent $48,000 in
advertising Oregon Scenic re
sources during that year result
ing in a $35 million tourist crop
during 1936.

Busy Organizing
PENDLETON, June 14 Wheat
growers in other states are rapid
ly organizing statewide associa
tions, according to E. J. Bell, ad
ministrator of the Oregon wheat
commission who just returned
from a conference at Denver. He
met with the Colorado Grain
Growers and the officers of the
National Association of Wheat
Growers.
Kansas, the largest wheat pio
ducing state, has formed a state,
wide association, financed by a
half-cent a bushel on all wheat
through commercial channels.
Texas and Nebraska have similar
plans. Oklahoma and Colorado
are making good progress in
getting their state organizations
going.
Wheat producer H. W. Clutter
of Holcomb, Kan., President of
the National association, is plan
ning to get together with grow
ers in North Dakota, Montana and
South Dakota to help them form
their state organizations. All of
these associations are patterned
after the Oregon Wheat Growers
League. The other states will
join Oregon in a national pro
gram of research, education and
publicity, to find new markets
for wheat and wheat products,
to encourage national and inter
notional use of wheat and wheat
products and to protect the in
terest of the wheat producers
in every way.
The National association was
established at Kansas City in
April with the following wheat
growers as officers; H. W. Clut
ter, Holcomb, Kan., president;
Jens Terjeson, Pendleton, Oregon,
vice president; Kenneth Kend
rick, Stratford, Tex., secretary;
Herbert Hughes, Imperial, Neb.,
treasurer. All these men are
wheat producers.
Bell reported "Growers in oth
er states are very enthusiastic
over the possibility of develop
ing a national program to in
crease the use of wheat. We have
recognized for some time that
what we have been doing in
Oregon would be effective if we
could get the other wheat states
to join us. We are glad to see
we are going to have the cooper
ation oi agressive producers in
other states, who really mean
business."

Y9i can haul more loads .
more miles ... for less . . .
with Chevrolet Trucks I
Take time out to talk to some Chevrolet truck users. You'll find it revealing. You'll
discover that Chevrolet trucks pay their way by hauling more loads more miles
tor less! And you'll find that this extra measure of value is even more apparent in the
new Chevrolet models. Definitely, they're America's first-choice trucks. Heavy-duty
units feature a brand-new 105-h.p. Valve-in-Head engine with the power to pull
heavy loads and conquer steep grades. They offer new Power-Jet carburetion for
smoother, quicker c--ration. They bring you the fast, safe shifting of Chevrolet's
4-speed Synchro-Mesh transmission. But whatever your
hauling requirements, Chevrolet trucks are your best bet.
See them in our showroom. You'll agree.
