In the year of 111 111, the' section of road from the Pacific highway to the top of Oreen Springs highway wua completed. t'p until lost fall practically no surfacing had been done on the Kin ninth section of the highway und the road had the unenviable repu tation of being one of the worst in the state. With the exception of the three mile section on the Miller contract all base course rock and the major part of the top surfacing bad 1 been laid by last spring. That Klamath Kails has been brought Into closer touch with the oiusldo world by the completion or the highway Is tho unanimous opin ion of the Klumath public. Tourists by the thousand have passed through Kltimalh Falls this spring and sum mer on their way to Crator Lake or othor scenic attractions avallnble In Klamath. An Idea of the Increase Is the re cent estimate by tho state highway department that ho Increase of traf fic on the Ashland-Klamath Falls lilghwuy during the month of June 1024, was 117 per cent over June 1023.

' . x STATE HIGHWAY Experiment Is Being Made Here on Use of Clay as Binder A quarter mile section of the Dulles-California highway from tho cud of pavement o.n south Sixth Street to the AlUimont canal, la be ing sacrificed and ploughed up as a preparatory step to an experiment conducted by tho local slate high way department. Due to the poor binding quality of the gravel from Hatch pit which was used un the Klamath Falls Merrill section of the, highway, It wua decided thut an Investigation should be conducted to find out whether or not there was a clay In Klamath county that would be a suitable binder. After testing clays from different localities In Klumath It was found that the clay fonnd in the vicinity of the old road to Algoma was best suited for this purpose.. The road bed will torn up and clay dumped In with the gravel and then mixed thoroughly. When thla Is . completed, and the high way-restored" to something like its normal shape, a sprinkler will soak the road u'htil all ot the road bed from the' top surfacing to the road bed fa thoroughly wetted down. . While in a wet condition, travel over this section will be Impeded state highway officials assert, as there will be nothing to stop the car from sinking right through the top surfaceing to the dirt road bed six or eight inches underneath. "As the water evaporates or runs off and the road bed dries, the ce ment quality ot the clay will be. come effective and bind the gravel into a solid compact unit. There is no doubt, highway engin eers point out, but wbat the clay will be a great improvement to the Dalles-California during the sum mer. "There la only one debatable point concerning the merit ot the experiment" one engineer explained "and that la wheter or not the clay gravel mixture will hold up during the rain and snow season." The work will be carried on In quarter mile sections In order that the truffle will not be held up. HYDRANT THREADS CHANGES ARE NOT TO BE, SAYS CHIEF Klamath Falls will not change the threads on tire hydrants to comply with, u regulation enacted by the state legislature at the last session according to Fire Chief Keith K. Ambrose. "Because," the tire chief said, "there Is no need ot he cbange. The principal reason tor file stan dardization regulation Is so that tire departments ot different cities can helpt.each other out In time ot need. We are In such an isolated position that the tire department of Medford could lie ot no help to us. - r : s . : t'f'fi ' "We use the ' Pacific coast stan dard thread and all the box factor ies use the same standard. It changed to the National standard as the regulation stitpulates It would moan that all the mills and factories would have ta do the same at their own' expense. When thoro Is absolutely need tor It. I cannot see why we should do it. "We are not the only town tu the stato that has followed this course, salem and Lakevlew are retaining the Pacific coast standard thread. "There Is no ' penalty for not complying with the state regulation and we can .Ignoro It and every thing will be all right.
