It is hereby determined that the following high ways should be permanently con structed and finished with hard sur face. 1. The Columbia River Highway from the Multnomah county line to Astoria, Seaside, and south in Clatsop county to the Tillamook county line.

A. aunaay con wjui u wism -Unjj Pivor rnnntv sufficient to cause such a flurry of criticism when a mod ern six or eight cylinder machine, of which there are a number in this val ley, with their pneumatic tires, travel ing at a speed of from JJo to m miles per hour, as against the truck's 10 to 14 miles with its solid ruooer ures. I m well known and established tant that th vrpat Hmount of damage done to our roads today is caused by me nign speeu i wraui me Buujiumut travels, and that the tire in passing tho rnid forma a vacuum or suc tion, causing the tire to pick up the dirt and scatter it indiscriminately, forming ruts and chucK noies, a wing that iiihnnt msaihlv occur with a ma chine of the type of the Sunday truck which has nara compression ruuoer tires. War run nam ntimhpr tit RtateS to day where any hard-tired vehicles of a width of four inches or over are ex empt from taxes. Now, is it not reas onable that if it were not an advantage to the roads those states would not have exempted that class of vehicles from taxes? And ncrflin there fire rountles9 num bers of wagons traveling the roads with much narrower tires, carrying thrpo timoa th tnnnnp'e that the Sun day truck can possibly carry, and yet there is no complaint about mat ciass of tramc. Now, if the distinguished gentlemen will come forward with one small grain of practical argument why the big sixes and big eights should have free access to the roads at any and all times, while the Sunday truck is barred, we should be pleased to hear it. I will say that I am as thoroughly in accord with the movement for gooi roads as any man in Hood River valley and feel confident that 1 have rendered the county as much free service as any other man in the county. If 1 thought for an instant that my truck was caus ing damage in excess of any other ma. chine, 1 would cease to use it. L. C. Heizer. Half Brother Rev. W. A. Sundav. 4 .
