The feature of the ceremony was the placing of a bit of wood from the Pgrim ship, Mayflower, recently secured in England, in the American side of the portal. On the Canadian side was placed a piece of wood taken from the Reaver. famous old Hud- ship, the first sel to ply in Pa- ‘To indicate the tmportance of the occasion internationally, flags of four nations were placed upon the arch at the time of its dedication.

Belgium, it was explained, s represented because- the treaty ‘d December 24. 1814, under “nited States and Canada lived side 100 years, was s Belgium. The French flag represented the large portion of the Canadlan pdpulation of French extraction. Plans for Highway. Twelve years ago. A. E. Todd of Victoria originated the idea of a great rterial highway traversing the Pa- ‘cific coast from British Columbla In the fall of 1910 H. state highway commissioner of Washington, began surveys for that portion of the high which lies in Washington. Formation of the Pacific Highway Association followed and with the commencement of sur- veys by California and Oregon high- way departments the work was fairly started. In June, , the idea of a peace portal w: aunched at a joint flag- raising ceremony at Rlaine on the site of the present arch. Plans were 1 at that time, but because of the war construction work did not begin until last year. Samuel Hill, Seattle good roads enthusiast and honorary censul general for Belgium in the Pa- cific northwest, was credited with conception of the original plans. Certain ceremonies connected with | the dedication of the Pacific highway { have been postponed because of th inability of government officials Washington and foreign dignitaries to attend. They will be held later: this year, and will include ceremonies opening the highway, first on the bor- { der line at Blaine, and later on the great bridge spanning the Columbia j river at Portland, Ore, and at a point in California to be chosen later. —_— LAW ON PROFIT-SHARING | IN VERA CRUZ TO STAND | Federal Government Not to Inter- fere in Matter of Statute Relating to Industries.

As indispensable when you travel as a shaving kit or a hair-brush, FOR YOU — FOR EVERYBODY Price complete with case, $50 (Incorporated) Cheaper haulage is the most sought-for factor in « transportation today. GMC Model K-16 justifies its claim to being the most economical one-ton truck in existence on this score, for it will undoubtedly haul during its life the great- est tonnage for the cost. And the recent reduction of $500 in the price makes its first cost of vital interest to the user. " ‘There is still another factor—the wide variety of work to which this truckis adaptable. Itfitsinto morekinds of hauling than iny other capacity of truck—into city delivery,wholesale and retail —produce,furniture, ma:lcl;imiry, drugs, groceries, department store goods and fuel. For bus service, fire and police patrol and for farm use it is peculiarly fitted. It will do practically 90 per cent of the work on the average farm, where the one-ton truck is without doubt the ideal capacity. GMC Model K-16 is a better truck even than its pre- decessor, Model 16, which is the United States Army standard in its class. It is every inch a truck, with electric lights, starter and cord tires as standard equipment. Not a passenger car part in its make-up. Any GMC dealer will give you further details concern- ing this truck and also prices on other GMC models, all of which have been *reduced, or write direct to the factory.
