ROAD

COAST GOOD ROADS
Interest Centers Particularly IN Hien-
way Extending From California
to Washington.

CIV HERBERT MUM. State Highway
Engineer of Oregon.)
The Pacific coast is particularly IN
terested in our national highway that
Is the Pacific coast highway extending
from California to Oregon and Wash
ington. This when completed Will nave
approximate length of some 1,4O0
miles, and the large part OF 1t is now
completed or nearing completion.
Mr. Fletcher of California stated TO
me that his state had completed 525
miles, extending from Los Angeles
north to Sacramento, and we are now
under contract to complete the road.
Oregon now has under contract on THIS
road some 400 miles of construction,
all of which will be completed by the
middle of next year, 200 miles of which
will be paved and the rest macadam
or gravel. Washington has completed
this road to Seattle. and next year its
entire length will be complete. i g
am unable TO say at this time just
how much money was expended dur
ing the year 1919 in the three states,
but in Oregon approximately $1,000
600 was expended. The three states.
however. are pretty well fixed finan-
cially.
California has a new bond issue for
S40,0O0,00O and previously has ex-
pended some S33, 100000. Oregon has
some 100000 available and roads
to cost $19,OOO,0OO to $2OOO0,0OO under
construction. Washington has less
money. They failed to carry the bond
issue there this year. but have between
$800O,0O0 and $9.OO0,000 available for
next year.
The eastern connections with the Pa
cific highway are the Santa Fe trail,
the Lincoln highway. and the Midland
road. l think the Santa Fee Il! pretty
well cared for. 1t connects with south

MoToRTRUcK IS INslsTENT
War Brought II Into Prominence as
Commercially Practical Form Of
Transportation.

The value of the motortruck as an
the war, sprang into prominence as a
commercially practical form of trans
portation and while the fighting has
ceased, the need for the motortruck re-
mains with us, more insistent than
ever before. Within certain limitations
the freight car Of the highway is more
efficient than the rail carrier, and. be-
cause 1t is. 1t may be taken as a per-
manent form of transportation and one
destined to have a large influence on
the movements of trade In the future.

Seascouts of the Sloop Monitor"

FOUR MINERS DIE

MAGAZINE AT SUBLET MINE Is

kemnerer, Wyo.-Four men are
dead and four will probably die as
the result of the explosion Of a pow
der magazine ut Sublet No. 6 mine of
the kemmerer Coal company, twelve
miles north of this city, at 4 :45
O'Clock Monday afternoon.
The cause of the explosion is mys-

lighted match while In the magazine

explosion, the. facts may never be
known.
AT the time of the explosion three
miners on their way to work had stop
ped at the magazine, which is con-
siderable distance up hill from the
mine workings, to obtain powder, and
four others who had just come off
shift were on their way to their cab
ins by way of the magazine.
The force of the explosion tore the
mems clothing into tatters and burned
and lacerated them until their features
were almost unrecOgnizable
SO great was the force of the ex-
plosion that the harness was blown
from span of mules attached to a
wagon near by and the wagon was
reduced to fragments. The mules,
however, escaped and have not since
been seen in the vicinity of the ex-
plOsiOn.
One of the men whose clothing was
In blaze ran some distance and
jumped into creek. He was uncon-
scious when taken out.
AS soon as the explosion occurred
a big force of men rushed from the
mine to the rescue of the injured and
as soon as possible special train,
consisting of an engine and box car,
was placed at their disposal, upon
which the injured men were brought
to this city and placed in the Lincoln
county hospital.
Seven doctors were summoned and
did their utmost to alleviate the suf-
ferings of the patients, all of whom
were unconscious.
Shortly after their arrival at the
hospital three of the injured men
passed away. They are 7. Imaga, Jap
anese Fred Kentfinkel, Japanese, and
X. Shinn, Korean.

SCOUTS BUILD A FiREBREAK.

Following the recent announcement
that a giant firebreak was to be con-
structed to protect the Pasadena wa
tershed, Thomas Sloan, chief forest
ranger, conferred upon the Boy Scouts
the honor of doing the first work on
what he terms "the master firebreak
Of the Angeles forest"
1t is an unusual opportunity for the
Boy Scouts to be of service to their
government by assisting the United
States forestry service and to their
city by starting this great firebreak
which is to protect the watershed for
Pasadena and vicinity.
A camp was established for the Boy
Scouts uy the United States forestry

And the thing that leads him onward
