As field repiesentative for the Pacific Coast Dei'cnsn League, W. (j. I'atton, told of what action had been taken to secure this highway in tho form first of a resolution offered in congress and later or the introduction or tho Cham berlain bill, both of which had been referred to the committee on military affairs, of which Senator Chamberlain is chairman. - In speaking of military roads, Mr. I'atton said there was hardlv four miles of road in the state of Washington that could withstand the movement of war traffic.
