named the following committee to
make an investigation and report
back TO the senate Tuesday after
noon: Kolsom. Rutherford, Mer-
Ger, Hudgins and White. Sen. Van
Auken declined TO head the COM
mittee. but he volunteered to turn
over all the information he had.
The senate adopted unanimously
a resolution offered by Sen. Grant,
chairman Of the federal relations
committee. pledging the states re-
sources to the federal government
in event of war against Germany.
The DObyns road bill, amended
almost to conformity with the Duff
fey house bill. providing for the Gre
alton of a state highway commits

New Road Signs for
Pacific Highway

Portland Oregonian: The entire
length of the Pacific Highway across
the state of Oregon as well as all
other portions between Canada and
Sacramento are to be marked early
this spring with new road signs of
approved character, according to II,
L. Church and f. n. Thompson of
Los Angeles, who have just spent two
weeks in Oregon as the representa-
tives of the Automobile Club of
America
The new signs are to be Of enamel
on iron, with double arrows naming
the distance ahead and backward to
the nearest towns of Importance.
The signs are to be erected at each
crossroad and intersection and will
guide the motorists in and out of
each town. There will also be half
way sign between each pair of towns
Mr.. Church, who did the locating for
the signs to be placed in Oregon, es-
Inmates that the new signs, which are
to cost about 81 apiece, will average
about three to the mile, which means
that there will be more than 1000
new Pacific Highway signs in Oregon
before the opening of the next tour
ing season.
Incidentally MIR. Church and Mr..
Thompson were the last to motor
over the SiskiyOu mountains from
California to Oregon prior to the re-
cent heavy snow storms. They re-
port that mud stood deep on the
mountains and that it took them
four hours and 5S minutes to send
their little Ford roadster over the
Is miles of road separating Horn
brook and Ashland A large automo.
bile had been left stuck in the mid
die of the mountain road. leaving no
room to pass on either side, and the
California road students were forced
to dig the course of new roadway
alongside the prescribed highway be-
fore they could proceed. Most of the
snow was on this side of the state
line, but after crossing the border on
December 19 they learned of heavy
snow in various parts of California
and that there is ten feet of snow be-
tween Sagus and Bakersfield.
When the Californians came
through southern Oregon the can
yons and some OF the notorious hills
Of that section were covered with
snow ranging from one to three feet
and they were obliged to do consid-
erable chopping and shoveling. as
well as much charging and backing
up with the little Ford in the gentle
pastime of plowing snow with an au-
tomobile. At the famous stumbling
block named on the map as Com
stock, Pass Creek canyon the mud
was frozen and there was snow on
top.
So many confusing signs have been
placed along the course of the Pa
cific Highway in Oregon by the boost
ers of small towns located at various
distances from the highway survey,
and so many of the sogns have been
torn down or altered by vandals, that
the work about to be launched will
no doubt be greeted heartily by Ore
gon motorists.
