Dear Sir: WIN you allow me

they have had 10 contend with ad-

lack Of roads and bad transportation;
consequently. II is not surprising that
all the Coast Counties are united and
greatly interested in the proposed
Roosevelt military Highway, which
will be the means of opening up 10
ettlement large amount of valuable
land suitable for dairying, and land
that is similar to that OF Tillamook
