THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER G, 1313. I 'J r.OUTE TO PRINEVILLE . : FROM-THE DALLES IS DIIEiiESiiNG STUDY Many Examples of Ill-Built and Costly Highways Seen in . Journey in Wasco and Crook v By Fred Xockley. , I BOM The Dalles we went to Dufur. - passing numerous prosperous iook Ing and well kept young orchards. W continued on through Tygh valley to Maupln and thenca to rhHkt Oven and bo on to Shanlko. v v "This Isn't the route that wUl be a part of tho great every-day-ln-the-year alter ' nate highway from British Columbia to Mexico." said Mr. Hill Tbe regular ' route -will cross the river at Columbus 'by ' ferry, go up Spanish Hollow and com .down tho hogback of Sherman ' ttunty, passing through Wasco. DeMoes, Mora, v Grass , Valley and thenca to Ehantko, The trouble -with moat of the roads In Oregon, and for that matter, .everywhere else. Is that in the course of 10 or 19 years much more is spent upon poor toads than It would take to build permanent and substantial high ywaj-8. . For example, you will notice that in place of following the hogback or -going down to the water level, we con stantly go across the water courses, jiecesaltating a constant succession of heavy grades. It is . as though you stretched your fingers out, the space be tween each finger representing a water "course, and went over the middle knuckle In place of going around your fingers or across the back of your hand. Not only Ms the first cost of the road unneces sarily large but there Is the perpetual ' expense for maintenance and repalra on a road that was not well planned nor well constructed In the first place. X 'don't know of anything In which It Is -more Important to start tight than in the ; building of roads." ; ;"..;,.; ". K: V, We spent the night at Shanlko which liaa the distinction of being the terminus of one of the crookedest railroads In the - west. The road from Biggs to Shanlko Is a succession of curves. It was built von a shoe string, the right of way being donated by the farmers who were anxi ous to secure transportation,' and much jof the grading; being also donated. It was bonded on a basis of its mileage : and hence .there was ' Considerable ad vantage in making It wander around as -much as possible in place of taking the . shortest distance ;between two points, . ' Dsyllght"ut morning found us on the road bearing, southward. We con stantly came; to places Where quarter sections had been taken up and the road fenced off. forcing the road up on the hillside while the old road had gone at the foot of the grade with an easy pull for the horses. , , - j t Memory Keoorfla Boads, : . .. ; Mr. IIIH had been on this road once before and his memory of It was almost uncanny. "About half a mile ahead," ha would say. , "we will strike a patch of "dobe' and just beyond that we come to the crest of a hill where we will get: beautiful view of Hay creek." lie made statements similar to this a score of times and -not once did the dobe or the view or whatever particular .feature he: had prophecied,' fail to turn up as per schedule. When I , com- Rented upon It as a remarkable perform ance, Mr. HUl said, "It is not remark- , able In the least Road building Is my .'game- Every man should be good at his : ewn game. For thlrty-flve years I have Ibeen : studying roads and I have learned to observe. Most people travel through jfife self absorbed without having any ;h!ea of the country they are passing ;th rough, .when I have once seen a rroad, It Is' photographed upon my mind and years later I Can go over that road land . tell you as clearly about it as itfiough I had traveled It a week before. ; "I could take yoq to Russia, Mongolia, JJurope. England, all over the United JStatea and in fact, most other countries, And describe the roads that we would . luss over. Too many people try to see Everything in place of watching for one .thing. For example, the first time I went '.to Europe, I went there to study the geography of Europe. I paid no atten tion to the paintings, buildings, or other features of .Europe.. I-fixed Its geog raphy firmly In my mind., Kext summer ' When I went over, I went as the pupil jof one of the most , famous Architects end put in my whole summer etvdylng -the architecture of Europe, and so, on ' each trip I have had some , partlovlar jmisslon and I have made 38 trips to liurope. ,For two years I lived In France., X spent two years In 1 Germany, living' , Jnost - of . the time In " Munich. I also xpent something over two years In Italy , Hnd I : spent a great deal of time in Russia and along the line of the trans Hlberlan railroad.: Remembering comes tfrdra seeing clearly. Clear talking comes from clear thinking and one can teach bncself to see well, to think clearly and lie able to describe what one has seen. Jin other words, it is a matter of habit." I' As we entered Hay Creek Valley, Mr. Ill attracted our attention to the nat ural location for a road at the foot 3f the hill. In place of following the nat ural roadway, we made a high, steep I iJ P To Be From 10 to 50 on ; Diamond V) 5 ) h n 2 H .Silverware, Cut Glass,!

Koad-Buildlng Material Available. "Jack Edwards offered the county a right of way through his place. There Is a short bit of rock work, possibly s quarter of a mile, that would hate com pleted a splendid road on almost water grade, . through - Hay Creek and on toward Prinevllle, A hundred convicts and a few boxes of dynamite would have fixed this road In splendid shape In short order. : One of the remarkable things about Central Oregon Is that In no place do you have to go far for road making material. You have probably noticed disintegrated basalt that we have been passelng over, and In many places ledges of basalt crop out, giving road-making material ready to the hand of the road builder. Nature has been prodigal in her kindness, but we have utterly failed, to take advantage of her nounues. not oniy in tne way or natural grades, but oftentimes there will be a sticky, heavy road whore gravel or rock can be had within a hundred yards. The trouble has been that anybody and everybody thinks he can build a road As a matter of fact. It is harder to build a good road than to make a watch, yet very few people think, without special training, they can make a watch." From the Jack Edwards ranch on Hay Creek we took a southwest course, pass ing through Lamonta. As we came4o the crest of the hill at Lamonta, we all Involuntarily gasped, for there, sil houetted against the westera sky, was a sight worth coming across the continent to see- To the north lay Mount Adams. glittering in the sunlight like some pre historic pyramid cut from ice Next came Mount Hood, and if you have never seen Mount Hood from the east ward, looking west, you do not begin to realise tne Deauty and majesty of that wonderful mountain. Further yet 10 the southward was Mount Jefferson. Between the snowline at the base of Mount Jefferson and the rolling hills, mere seemed to float a blue mist as though .Mount Jefferson 'Were floating on some turquoise sea. Three Fingered Jack and the Three Slaters - gleamed against the blue of the sky to the soutnwara. The machine was Btopped and for a few moments We were silent while we looked at the glittering senti nels of the Cascades. "1 have been over the world," said Mr. HUl, "and nowhere In the world will you find a more in spiring or more beautiful sight . than those lofty peaks glittering with their fresh mantle of snow. You mav have one peak as Fujiyama in Japan, but there is no place. In Switzerland or elsewhere,- where you will see mountains with such majesty and beauty as !n Oregon, It Is the same view further south. The view from Shasta, looking toward the west. Instead of the view seen from the railroad, is Incomparably grand. if this all-the-year-round high way were put in from the British Co lumbia border to Mexico, it would mean that thousands of tourists would take this trip for the Inspiration to be had from the beauty along its entire course." We reached Prinevllle shortly after noon and were detained a good part of the afternoon in having a new spring put in our machine, Before coming to Prinevllle he said, "One of the -bet road boosters In Crook county Is W F King of Prinevllle. We will kidnap, iilm and take him, on with tia, as he knows this part of central Oregon thoroughly Prinevllle has been making splendlj progress during the past year or two Just at present the streets are all torn up In preparation for paving. Many new houses are being put up In expecta tion that the railroad will soon be ex tended to Prinevllle." West article OProm Prtnerili. to t.k.. lw Zs Much Tarled Xonte.

Bird lovers throughout the civilized world have been greatly interested in the legisla tion by congress for the protection of the feathered tribes. They look for ward to the 1 day when there will be world wide protection for them, and their spirit is indicated by letters that are coming to Senator Chamberlain and others In congratulation, ef the efforts put forth -to prevent the .extermination of entire species by hunters and plum age traders.

The reDort of : the conference with Mayor Albee and the recommendation of the committee follows. ' , "To the committee Of the Free Speech league of Portland We saw.
