CLUB INDORSES MOVE
FOR MILITARY ROAD
Road Would Reach From
British Columbia to Mex
lean Border

The construction of the proposed
military highway along the Pacific
coast to be maintained by the govern
ment and built by the government was
strongly urged at a meeting of the
members of the Commercial club held
last evening.
AS field representative for the Pacific
I Coast Defense League, w. G. Patton,
told of what action had been taken to
secure this highway in the form first
of a resolution offered in congress and
later of the introduction of the 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..
! Patton said there was hardly four miles
of road in the state of Washington
that could withstand the movement of
war traffic. That with proper military
roads, with 20 ours all the military for
ces on the Pacific coast could be con-
centrated at one point. Besides the
military value of 81 foot road, main
tanned by the government, there would
be a wonderful commercial value.
A military road on each of the coasts
and along the southern border was pro-
posed some time ago, but only took pos
itive form when bill was introduced
by Senator Chamberlain, and it was
this bill that the Commercial club was
asked to endorse, the request coming
from the Pacific Coast Defense League.
100 Miles of Highway.
It is estimated that the road would
extend about 1900 miles and that the
survey would cost close to $250,000.
After Mr.. Patton had told of the pro
posed military road and what had Been
done, q motion was made by State
Treasurer T.. b. Kay to the effect that
Salem through it's Commercial club
strongly approve of such a road. Mr..
Kay s motion was passed unanimously.
A letter, signed by the president of
the Commercial club, F. w. Steusloff
was sent to President Wilson stating
that the club favored one military high
way ON the coast and suggesting that
q survey be made to determine the
most desirable route.
The resolution passed last EVENING"
calls attention to the fact that the
west coast is the key TO the inland see
tion of the great northwest and that the
construction of a military highway
would would be one of the most eff
ficient means of defense. Also, that the
club pledges its undivided support of
its senators and representatives in con

gress who are urging the passage of
the Chamberlain bill.
State Treasurer Kay, Postmaster Aug
ust Huckestein and Fred G. Steusloff
president of the Commercial club, all
gave the resolution their hearty support
and expressed themselves in favor of
the club making substantial contri-
button towards supporting the Pacific
Coast Defense League in its efforts
to bring before congress and especially
the senators and representatives from
the northwest, the need of the proposed
road.

July came and was half gone but James never faltcred. The fact that he was accompanied in his daily walks by a swarm of blue flies did not in any way alter the tone Of his voice as he stoically repeated;
 Buy 'em duck? Two dollar!"
 One day near Che end of July the bottom of the birch bark basket sud denly rendered its resignation and dropped Co Che sidewalk. The rem nant Of Che duck went with it and before James could interfere, Che sccthiug mass had been snapped up and swallowed by a malamute.
 If James had ever been a profess ing Christian he was no doubt slight ly out of practice at that time. For a moment his face lost its habitual staid. solemn expression and some thing akin Co a sparkle gleamed i'm his eye as he looked into his bottom less basket. then at the gulping mala- mute. and said.

 The Stroller does not tell the above story Co point moral or adorn a tale. He tells it merely as an illustra- ton of the tcuacity of purpose and stoicism of people in whose bright lexicon of youth there is no such word as "falc"
