eee SATURDAY, JUL 16, 19 921. THE SEATTLE A. S. ELDRIDGE GIVES HIS IMPRESSIONS OF | | | EASTERN WASHINGTON) A. S. Bidridge, president and gen-| @ral manager of the Eldridge Buick company, recently made a circuit thru the eastern part of the state calling upen all the Buick and G M. C. dealers and studying the crop conditions, He returned with a de cidedly optimistic feeling, and says that business in Eastern Washing ton is going to be good this fall “We certainly have wonderful crops in every locality, from all ap Pearances the greatest crop that has been in that section of the country for many years, With just an aver | price the farmers and the fruit growers are going to be in excellent financial condition when they mar. ket their crops this fall. The feeling im, that section of the country is op: timistic, with everybody working and apparently happy, I believe that Bastern Washington will show up very favorably, if not better than Any other farm section in the United States. “Driving from Walla Walla to Spokane and thru the Big Bend country, | was impressed with the Sreat needs of the Columbia river irrigation development _ project, Which, I believe, would do more for the state of Washington than any Other development that could pos. Bibly be dreamed of, “I could not help but feel, in driv- ing over the highways of our state, "the great improvement that has Been made in the last five or six years and how much the develop. Ment of our highway system means to the state. However, my experi- _ _@Mee on some of the roads showed | | that great care should be used in ) @enstructing our highways. Some 4 ‘of the roads built only a few years g.B#° without foundations and of the per type are not standing up. I Believe firmly that we cannot and should not spend money for hard. surfacing roads unless they be built with sufficient concrete foundation | to sustain the traffic, | “When our main arteries are con- Rected up thruout the length and breadth of the state we will attract & tremendous volume of tourist travel to the Northwest, It was| certainly interesting to mote the! great number of tourists and camp: | era ¢ rywhere. Automobiles i all parts of the United States with | all sorts of camping equipment were winding their to or from the Pacific “In crossing the Columbia river at Paseo I was especially impressed | with the great need for the Pasco way coast Kennewick bridge, The river was! very high and the current exceed: | ingly strong. Undoubtedly many tourists who now go to the Coast via Portland would come this way if the bridge were built “While in Yakima I visited the new irrigation development at Rim rock, where the United States gov- | ernment is building a tremendous | dam and storage reservoir for water sufficient to irrigate 60,000 acres of |, land, This will, when completed, tn. crease the irrigated acreage of the Yakima valley approximately 20 per cent and will be a wonderful ad vantage to our state. “Passing over the Sunset highway returning to Seattle, I found the road in fine condition. I recommend the use of it to all motorists who have not already gone into the east-| ern part of the state to get ac quainted with the vast agricultural USE BUTTON district No need of reaching out of the sedan to direct this new kind of spotlight. It is attached so that it can be tilted and swung at any angle desired, by the turning or! pulling of a button tmside.
