The green fir segment of the In dex rose S3. 60, following a rise of S." or more on utility grade and a lesser amount on Std k Btr and economy grades.

Efforts Bring Success These efforts have paid off in the long struggle to make the North Umpqua regions readily ac cessible to the general public. Co operation of the Bureau of Public Roads has been obtained. Forest products industries brought pres sure to open virgin timber lands. California Oregon Power Co., in its 50 million dollar power develop ment program, also was instru mental in pointing up the need for access, and did much to hasten the program. Logging companies working in from the Diamond Lake side also contributed to the de velopment. - The highway passes through Isopie of the ruggedest, but most ! picturesque, areas of the state. The I route follows the main river, well above high water, most of the way.. I A great amount of rock blasting : and removal has been necessary. I Determining a route through the I great gorge in the Copco power de I velopment vicinity posed a major I engineering problem. But once ihe road was located, tne work nas pro gressed at much less cost than an ticipated. It was decided to follow up the gorge past Toketee Falls, rather than go around through Big Camas, which was the route of the old North Umpqua Road. The highway comes out of the canyon beyond Toketee. The grade is grad ual most of the way. Charcoal Logs Are Uncovered On North Umpqua Evidence of a mighty forest that once existed is being uncovered in some of the excavation work con nection with Norlli Umpqua high way construction. Charcoal logs, as much as 50 feet underground, are revealed in several places, where the pumice and lava ash formations ire scrap ed away to form a road bed. The theory advanced on char coal logs is that the forest was burned then covered by erupting volcanic ash. or lliat the terrific heat from the volcanic residue caused the trees and foliage to burn, but remain encased in the ash as charcoal as the lack of air provenlcd complete combustion. Lava ash and pumice cover a great amount of the high moun tains, resulting from volcanic ac tion, the most famous of which was the eruption of Ml. Manama, which formed Crater Lake. Beneath the ash is mostly heavy basaltic rock. Often small caves are found where water hus seep ed down through the pumice then made its way along the basaltic base, pushing out the soft ash with it. Resident Engineer Encounters Many Problems On Job L. A. Copenhavcr, resident en gineer for the Bureau of Public Roads on the current North Ump qua construction projects, has been in and out of that area since about 1953. It is his job to supervise engi neering of the new highway proj ects, but his work doesn't stop with selection and survey of the route. There are many other problems, and oine of them are touth. He must advise and inspect construc tion work to make sure it is up to standard. He must negotiate with contractors on necessary changes not forseen in the initial plans and specilication. He must also make sure that drainage is adequate. Erosion and slides in some areas can present a terrific problem. When millions of dollars of pub lic money is spent on a project, it is the resident engineer's job to see that the money is not wasted but spent as economically as possihle. Copenhavcr and assistants work out of an office on Steamboat. accumulated by all drivers in the Pierce operation. Olher such din ners were held elsewhere in Ore gon and Northern California lo hon or all Pierce safe drivers. Fourth Award Won W. P. Wilson, leading Pierce driver from Roseburg, was award ed his fourth ATA gold pin. He has completed 13 years without so much as a cracked mirror or scratched fender. Robert Alspaugh, with 12 years of wheeling without mishap, has compiled the next best record. ATA gold pins went to drivers with 10 or more years of accident free trucking. Silver pins were pre sented to those with less than a decade of perfect driving. Ed Smith, Pierce general manager. I made Ihe presentations.
