1b mainly that It would connect the

from Salem to Portland is as bad as
any road in tho state with equal
nmount of traffic. The kind of road

Cadillac, and while a great many
think this Is a specially built racing

have everything In good shape in time
for the races. All persons not hav
ing business on these roads are re
quested not to trawl them after the

Several now racers have been In
