SCENIC ROADS
TO BE BUILT
IN OREGON
PORTLAND, Aug. 26.—Main trunk
highways should be pushed to comple
tion as rapidly as possible, in the
opinion of John B. Yeon, and second
ary roads should be held in abeyance
until the through lines are finished.
Pavement should be laid next spring
on contracts let this fall. Mr. Yeon
has just returned from a 1,500-mile
automobile trip in Washington and
is more convinced than ever that
Oregon’s road program is on the right
track.
“They are capitalizing their scenery
in Washington,” says Mr. Yeon, “and
yet we’ve got just as good and bet
ter here. The time will come when
Portland will be the playground of
the northwest.
“On the Pacific highway we’ve got
200 miles of hard surface, which
leaves 151 miles to pave later. All
this 151 miles has been rocked or will
be and can be used all the year. In
a month, I understand, the state high
way commission will cut contracts for
hard-surfacing 75 of the 151 miles
and the paving can be laid next year.
It will then have the unpaved but
macadamized portion of the Pacific
highway reduced to 75 miles, and 1
suppose, this will be put under con
tract a year from now for work in
1922.
“On the road to Astoria all is
paved but 20 miles, and this gap will
be covered this season. -It will mean
a paved highway from Astoria to
Hood river, a distance of 185 miles.
When the paving is laid between As
toria and Seaside and between Hood
river and The Dalles, next year, there
will be 215 miles of paved highway
from the Pacific shore at Seaside to
The Dalles.
“I challenge the world to show
anywhere a greater variety of scen
ery and climate than can be found
in the 215 miles between Seaside and
The Dalles. Did you know that there
are more days of sunshine at The
Dalles than there are in Los Angeles?
It's a fact, for I inquired at the
weather bureau. The Cascade moun
tains form a sharp divide in climate.
On the east is the sun and the wild
scenery of rock and sand and wheat
land. On the west is the forest, farms
and waterfalls.
“When the Pacific highway is paved
from Seattle to the interstate bridge
at Vancouver, connecting with the
Pacific highway in Oregon, it will
give a hard service from Seattle to
the California line. When that time
comes I will make the prediction that
25 per cent of the eastern people who
ship their cars across the continent
to California will ship their cars to
Portland or Seattle, so as to travel
the road south.
“These persons generally figure on
spending three or four months in
Californai driving around. Well, the
YOU’LL be sur
prized at the little
cost at which you can
make your house look
distinctive. The win
dow cut accompanying
1 this ad, is known as the
“Queen Anne’’design.
For an additional $15 or $20 your
whole house can have this classy
window. Before you finish build
ing send for our catalog. Rovig,
2229 First Avenue South, Seattle.
“Better Millwork. ”
25 per cent who ship cars to Portland
or Seattle will spend at least four
weeks of their vacation time in Wash
ington and Oregon. We’ll get there
tourists and we’ll get some of their
money. It is the tourist money that
has made California prosperous. Per
sons have gone to California for a
few weeks and like the climate, so
they remained. No one who has vis
ited California would consider that
climate as good as ours. Everything
is burnt brown in California and
when you cross a bridge, instead of a
river you see a gravel deposit. All
the talking points are in our favor.
“Then there is the Mount Ranier
loop, which should be hurried along.
It will be more scenic and finer
anything Washington or California
can show'. There is that mountain
55 miles from Portland. On a day
when the temperature is 85 or 90
a person can make the run to Mount
Hood in two hours and play snowball.
Is’nt that an attraction?
“With the Columbia highway paved
from the ocean to The Dalles and
the Mount Hood loop completed and
the Pacific highway paved to the Cal
ifornia line, we will be in a position
to capitalize on our roads and our
scenery. The east is full of persons
who are getting along in years and
wrho cannot stand the rigors of the
eastern climate. They have their car
and they can go from place to place.
We have the climate for them and
the scenery to please, but first we
must get our trunk line completed.
When the trunk highways are built
and they are the show windows of the
state the side roads can come as need
ed. Meanwhile good macadam is suf
ficient for the side'roads as the
average traffic, but no macadam can
stand up under the pounding of the
traffic on a main highw'ay.’’
Mr. Yeon says that in Washington
the standard road is now a 32-foot
grade, with a 20-foot pavement and a
maximum grade of 5 per cent. The
Olympic highway is being changed
in order to get these new grades.
VIOLA DANA AGAIN
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
For the last time tonight, the
I trickiest, the most tormenting, mad
ening and provoking bit of girlhood
that ever played the screen, Viola
Dana. You saw the imp of her in
“Santan Junior,” the devil of her in
“Parisian Tigress,” the flirt of her
! in “Some Bride,” and the appeal of
; her in “Blue Jeans.” Imp, devil,
| flirt and appeal all combine in her
latest success “The Microbe.” What’s
in a name? That’s for you to find
out tonight at the Empress.
Coming tomorrow is Elsie Ferguson
with her charm and exquisite beauty,
ably supported by Eugene O’Brien in
“Under the Greenwood Tree,” a pic
ture combining intense interest and
rapid fire action with a novel plot.
