sance into a neighboring restaurant
to buy cup of coffee. He succeeded
in his quest. Then ne discovered he

guilty smile and said:
you've caught me without . cent
in my trousers. my man, but I'm Com
mander Peary."
'The hi you are" replied the
waiter. "Well, I'm Doc Cook, you
know, and say, Mr.. Commander
Peary, It would be a good thing fol
YOU to come across with the cash"
The discoverer of the north poll

distinctly worsted in the argument
Then a happy thought struck him.

SHOW ACTUAL
WORK ON ROAD
Pacific Highway Association
Handing Out Literature Which,
Indicates Earnestness With
Which Campaign Is Being Car
ried on.

An exhibition that attracted a great
deal of popular interest at he recent
Los Angeles Licensed Automobile
show was the display of the Pacific
Highway association of photographs
showing actual construction on this
international road through the state
of Washington and British Columbia.
Printed matter that the association is
getting out was distributed to all
visitors who wished to carry the same
away. a courtesy that was not ex-
tended to anyone else during the
show. Many thousands of people who
had before only an indefinite idea of
what the Pacific Highway project
meant, took with them literature that
gave concise ideas of what the Pa
cific Highway association was accom-
plishing and the progress that has al
ready been made.
j. S. Conwell, manager of the show.
deserves a great deal of credit for
the courtesies and favors he extended
the good road workers in connection
with this exhibit. Robt. e. Magner.
Seattle Manager of the warnes In
strument Co., had charge of the good
ROADS display for the highway asso-
citation. The fact that the exhibit
was so attractively arranged and al
together effective as 1t was, was due
to his efforts in the matter.
Three Meetings.
The new year is starting Off very
faVorabiy for the Pacific Highway
project, as within the next ten DAYS.
three important meetings are to be
held in behalf of this project. The
flrst Will be one in Portland which
VIII be attended by representatives
from every county through which
the road will pass and the only mat |
ters to be taken up will be those in
connection with this international
highway. The following week the
Automobile club of Seattle will hold |
a regular meeting at which time the
most important matter will be the
consideration Of President J.. t.
