The highway for the most part passes forest Excavations covered with heavy timber. Timber on the south side of a road shades Il causing dangerous patches of ice and to over come this danger 1t has been found necessary to cut down the larger trees for a considerable distance on the south side. The necessary prmfssion has been received from the forest service, which realizes the necessity for keeping the roads open.
 The second vital consideration in improving this portion of the road has been to provide proper surfacing mate rial. The region is peculiar in that the country rock is of the hardest charac- ter known and disintegrates into the finest particles of dust which when coming into contact with water forms the sticlIiest softest, sponsiest mud with which highway builders have to contend.
 Fortunately the same forces of ma ture which produced this metamorphic formation of malpais or bad rock as 1t was called by the early Spanish explorers, threw up red volcanic ash or cinder which occurs in the form of huge pit deposits at somewhat reg

 An interesting thing in connection with the surfacing is that through the use of modern machinery the cost has been kept to a point even below costs which obtained before the war. The state engineer has detailed figures to bear out this statement. which is re- garded as remarkable in view of the rising cost of labor and construction work in general since the war.

 The only way to keep this portion of the road open the year around, it has been found, 1t to build the road on the sunny slope of the mountains as far as possible and in crossing the mountain valleys to elevate the grade, thus per hitting the wind to sweep clear the highway of snow as fast as it falls.

FIGHT WET PLANK
Democratic Leaders Would Head
OFF Anti-Prohib Sentiment.
Depend on TwO-Thirds Rule to
Hold Vets Down.

San Francisco. June 14.-Leaders
of the Democratic party who are early
arrivals for the national convention
are casting about for a means to
choke down sentiment for a repeal of
drastic prohibition laws.
They see in the rule requiring a
two-thirds majority to nominate prob
ably their most effective weapon to
prevent an organized effort to make
the Democratic party the champion of
the vets"
Governor Edwards Of New Jersey,
the wet" candidate for the presiden-
the nomination. was expected to be
the first candidate on the scene. About
him the vets will build up a strong
orga nization, hoping TO capture the
party.
The vets. IT is known. are relying
largely upon the personal wet" sym
pathies supposed TO exist in the
breasts of the large body of unin-
structed delegates.
Edwards will have the further ad-
vantage of a wet" city as the loca-
ton for the convention
But the party leaders expect to con-
troll the resolutions committee and
keep it dry" at least avoiding any
plank that would violently offend the
drys. Also they believe the rule re-
quiring a two-thirds vote to nominate
will effectually safeguard them from
attempts to nominate Edwards.
