.ROAD CONNECTION PROPOSED
AT THE SUMMIT.
Easy Grade Over Blue Mountains
Recognized via Summerville.
Umatilla county is seriously consid
ering the matter of hitching the new
improvements on the Thomas-Ruckles
road out from Summerville with
Bingham Springs and previously es
tablished roads there. Now that
Union county has built a grade to
the summit from Summerville on
which machines cr.n run on high gear,
the sister county is seriously consid
ering 'her part of the work. Pendle
ton, like La Grande and Baker real
izes that it behooves the two counties
to improve roadways across the
mountains if cross country traffic is
to be diverted from interior Oregon.
County Judge Phy has several feasi
ble schemes underway for next year,
but if Umatilla county fulfills its part
of the Thomas-Ruckles pass, Union
county will have a great burden taken
off her shoulders in that at least one
good passageway will be provided. If
a second road be perfected via HiJ
gard and a third via the Toll Gate
from the Elgin country so much the
better, but to all appearances the
Summerville gap affords the quickest
relief. Concerning the Umatilla end
of the deal, the East Oregonian says:
With the increase in motor travel

GEO. PALMER LUMBER COMPANY

underway for the reconstruction of
the old stage road through the Blue
mountains to Union county via Bing
ham Springs. It is asserted by those
favoring the move that this road
would not only provide the shortest
road across the mountains but one
with far more favorable grades than
the present road up Cabbage hill.
Many years ago the stage route led
past Bingham and up the south fork
of the Umatilla, thence up Thomas
creek to the Union county line. The
distance from Bingham to the Union
county line is approximately 10 miles.
Union county already has a road to
the Summit House, this side the
Union line and the county court of
union county nas ottered to cooperate
with Umatilla in resurrecting the old
road.
Much of the route of the old road
is now in the forest reserve and it is
believed that through proper action
the forestry service may be induced
to help materially in the construction
of the road. It is said the owners of
Bingham Springs will also make a do
nation while the people of the Gibbon
road district stand ready to vote a
special tax to help the cause along.
With this local help and in view of
the short distance some of the enthus
iasts say the expense to the county
would not he heavy.
The county court gave consideration
to the subject when it was brought up
by Union county but took no action
because of the lack of funds. How
ever, the court has not fully decided
upon the course to pursue and if the
proposition proved to be feasible
might be able to provide for the work
in the next budget.
An argument in favor of the Bing
ham road is that it would not only
avoid the big hill to Meaeham but
would also provide a beautiful scenic
drive through the mountains. The
most serious objections in the way
consists of the new construction work
that would be necessary and the prob
lem of having a road that would not
be washed out by high water.

A National Institution
" Why, sir, the Union may be preserved from dismember
ment by this proposed railroad." Joseph R. Underwood in
the United Slates Senate, February 19, 1853.
"The road has been built through an Indian country with
all the tribes banded together and hostile." General G. M.
Dodge in Congress, 1868.
"pOR half a century
and more ever since
the first locomotive poked its
nose west of the Missouri River
this railroad has worked con
tinuously for the development
of the territory which it serves,
and for the improvement of
the property. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars are spent
every year in telling the people
of the East about the wonder
ful opportunities of the West.
Prosperous cities and towns,
thriving industries and fertile
farms mark fifty years of nota
ble progress. The Union Pa
cific System has led among
western railroads in keeping
its lines at the highest standard;
whether butintja is good or
bad, adequate provision is al
ways made for i.:;iintenance of
the Boulevard of Steel which
links the East with the West.
The Union Pacific System has
also been first with practically
every device which makes for
security and comfort of travel
ers and for safety and expedi
tion in the passage of freight.
Success has justified this
policy of efficiency, but the
full measure of success has
been attained only by the con
fidence and support of the
people who live in the Union
Pacific country, and to them
this advertisement is directed
in a spirit of grateful apprecia
tion. The Union Pacific Sys
tem is proud of its territory and
of the people who live in its
territory, and in turn is worthy
of the pride with which it is re
garded by the people it serves
as a great national institution.
