The Federal Bureau of Public

The road section, scheduled for
completion early next summer,
covers a -mile stretch. There
remains another 4'i mile strip to

new section and Canyonville. A
contract for this work is scheduled
to be let at a later date.
The highway follows the general
course of the old road, but is being
straightened so that the only
curves are very gradual and are
those that must follow the general
contour of the canyon. The grade
will be gradual. The highway will

The rugged canyon mountain
area proved one of the greatest
obstacles the pioneers faced in
making their way into the Ump
qua and Willamette valleys.
But with the coming of trans'
portation improvements also
comes sacrifices sacrifices the
motoring public has for the most
part been willing to accept. The
sacrifice is scenic beauty.
The course of Canyon creek has,
of necessity, been almost entirely
changed. Trees and bushes which
shaded the highway have been
cleared away to make way for
the highway right-of-way. The
walls of the canyon's side have
been sheared off smooth to elim
inate the dangers of slides.
Picnic areas in the lower can

but it is understood some effort
will be made by the federal gov
ernment to restore picnic sites.

tubes. No tubes to buy. No tubes to puncture! No tubes
to go fiat. A self-sealing inner lining under the tread
robs punctures of their sting by instantly surrounding
any piercing object sealing it against air loss. When
the object is removed, this sealing rubber immediately
