At least no new projects can be un dertaken and finished 'before this heavy travel begins. ljate reports reaching t'he A. A. A. touring information board, New York and Washington, from all quarters indi cate that the road improvements on the principal cross-country lines during 1914 have been underestimated rat'her than overestimated. This is particular ly the case 011 the western end of the "Northwest Trail" between Montana and .Seattle, especially since the former severe grade of Snoqualmie pass has 'been reduced to a maximum of five per cent. The cities, counties and towns on t'ho line of the Ltincolu highway in the far west have also made very great im provements in order to bring that route to as good condition as possible for 1915 touring. Both the "Trail to Sun set" and its principal alternate, the Sante Ke-Urand Canvon-Needles high way, have not lagged behind the others; and beginning uext year the tourist has two complete options 'between Al buquerque and Southern California, both of which 'can be traveled with com fort and safety.
