and up to Salt Lake City 1t offers nc
dangers and difficulties whatsoever
But from Salt Lake City across the
Salt Lake desert the highway is not
in good condition. no work having
been done on it by the state in four
years. Rather than tackle this stretch
of rough going, most of the tourists
prefer to go southwest via the Ar
rowhead Trail to Los Angeles or
northwest over the historic Oregon

gon to the coast. 1t will probably be
another year before a really passable
road across the Salt Lake desert has
been built. Nevada has improved long

rough stretches, but during the past
three years the road has been wild
ened and graded across the mountain
passes leading into and out Of the val
ley Of the Rio Grande
In Arizona great deal Of work
has been done on this route, but Of
course the sparsely settled state has
not had the means to improve every
portion Of the Trail. Even in wealthy
California the desert portion of the
route between Needles and the San
Bernardino mountains has not been
paved, though 1t Is always kept in
good condition. The mountain stretch

New Mexico; elsewhere it traverses

laughing Sunday over the latest mark
story told in the Adlon bar, famous
rendezvous of visitors here.
AS the story runs, a lunatic man
aged to escape from an asylum where
he had been incarcerated since 1914.
Once free and in the open streets he
hired taxi and ordered the driver to
take him to cabaret.
Taximeters still register the old nor
NAL fare. but the man who used taxi
must pay 5000 times what it registers
However, when the lunatic reached his
destination, the meter only registered
3 marks.
Fishing about in his pockets, he
came upon 10-mark gold piece, for
gotten there years before. This he Of
fered to the chauffeur who. although
surprised to see gold in circulation, be-
gan to figure up what change he must
give.
"Your ride cost marks-that is to
say, $4,000 marks" he told the luna
tic. Now, you give me 10 marks gold,
that is, 100000 marks Therefore, you
must get $4,000 marks change"
Pulling a huge wad of paper money
from his pocket, the chauffeur began
to count off dozens of 5000marks bills.
The lunatic's jaw dropped
Here" he said, "do you mean that
| actually get $4,000 marks changer"
"Yes-if l can find that much"
Never mind" said the lunatic,

Two Projects to be Undertaken by
Government in National Forests

The expenditure of $4,000 of Ma.

the construction of 16 miles of high.

just been approved by the secretary
Of agriculture, according to an an
nouncement made by the District For.
ester's office in Portland.
One of these road projects is the
Baker river. road in Whatcom county
within the Washington National For.
est. The project is nine miles in length
and will run between the south bound
airy of the forest to the south end OF
Baker lake. The sum Of $4,000 has
been allotted for the work. The road
when completed, will open up large
interior region that can now be reach.
ed only by trail, thus being of great
value from a protective as well as a
recreational standpoint. It will also be
of value to- the United States Fish
Hatchery located at Baker lake.
The other project consists of seven
miles Of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie
highway located partly within the Sno-
qualmie National Forest and partly
outside, all within King county. The
sum of $3.50, 900 has been appropriated
for the construction work, King county
cooperating to the extent Of building
bridge over the Pratt river. I
This highway when completed will
be Of immense value to the SnoQualmie
National Forest from the protection
standpoint, as it will open up large
interior region containing heavy tim

has also authorized an additional $780,
900 of the Section 8, highway fund
for the construction of the Mount
Baker road in Whatcom county, Wash.
ington, and within the Washington

total amount allotted for this high
way up to $4,000, two-thirds Of
which is from federal funds and one
third Of which is furnished by What
