SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. JUNE -7, 1914; -7 THE OREGON i r- GOOD ROADS PROGRESS Simon Benson Declares Portlanders Fail to Realize Sig- f nificance of the Columbia Highway; Motor Ttrips to the Inand Empire. . RESOURCES THE Importance of th Columbia River Highway ta not half real- tied by th people of Portland, aid Simon Benson recently. On a re cent automobile trip to eastern Oregon and Washington In the intereat $t good roads h found that the great possibil ities of the nlghway are better appre ciated by the residents of the Interior. Reviewing his trip, made' in company with his son, A. S. Benson, Mr, Benson aid: Wa ahlpped our automobile to Hood River on-the steamer, and after an all day trip (12 hours) we landed at Hood River. After the Columbia River Highway is finished this trip will be made In four hours; the distance is 66 miles. At Hood River we took a ride around the valley. It was a surpise to air of us to find the Hood River road a in such poor condition. They are rough, very poorly laid out, over steep bills, and with short turns. These peo pie need good, smooth roads, so they tan haul their berries and fruit with out bruising. "As to the Columbia River Highway, we Jound the sentiment at Hood River very much in favor of it, but there is a sentiment that it should be paid for by Others than Hood River people. They overlook the fact that Clatsop,, Colum bia and Multnomah counties are build through their counties without any outside assistance at all. I realize Hood River should have some assist ance, but it should make a start and do what they are able first. "Leaving Hood River, we drove over the hill to ttfosler, a distance of nix miles' by raUroHTfl, but 12 miles by the road we had, ttake. We ascended to an elevatlonjof 1800 feet in one place. This six miles along the railroad lien four miles in Hood River county and two miles in Wasco county. The main road will surely follow the railroad soma day. We found the Mosler people wide awake. . They fully res Ha the enormous benefit to be derived from the Columbia RHver Highway. From Mosier east two miles there is a road now, which we drove over, that needs some changing, but it will not be very expensive. This took lis to Mr. May er's place. Mr. Mayer recently made ap offer to the Wasco county court to pay one-half of the expense of grading and macadamizing one mile of the Co lumbia River Highway between his .place and Mosier. This offer was promptly accepted, and the-work is now under way. It will be finished in a short time. Between Mr. Mayer's place and Rowena, a distance of two miles, there lirat present no road. This two miles, however, will not cost much to build.- On to The Dallas. "ATter a visit of several hours with the people at Mosier, we then went up over the hill to The Dalles. We had to rise to an elevation of 1700 feet, then down again, arriving at a point near The Dalles. We then turned west and followed ' an old abandoned railroad grade a distance of about eight miles to Rowena. This railroad grade is in fine condition to take its place as a link in the Columbia River Highway and when Wasco county builds the twj miles between Rowena and Mr. Mayer's Dlacc. that will give a fine high-class road between Mosier and The Dalles. This two mlleB the county court as sured us they would take up at once. We realise there is going to be an en ormous tourist travel on the coast dur ing tlie summer of 1916, and in order to get them to come to Portland it is necessary to get some convenient way, so ! that hey can come down the Co lumbia river. If nothing can be done toward building the Hood River section in time for this travel, the only alter native will be to put large barges, with a river steamer to tow them, and run from Shell mountain to MOBier, a dis tance of 12 miles. This will give a good road from Portland to The Dalles. The barge could also land at Lyle, on the Washington side, which would give n opening for all automobiles from up in around Qoldendale and the Yak ima country clear to Spokane and Brit ish Columbia. ' "After a very enthusiastic meeting . at The Dalles, we left the next morn ing by way of Dufur, Tygh Valley, Shanlko, and reached Fossil that night, on our way to Pendleton. This is. not the regular road from The Dalles to Pendleton, but we went this way in or der to see the country, intending on our return to follow the regular road. However, this part of the route from The Dalles to SJhaniko will probably be ' used a great deal by automobiles going and coming tp California, as from Shanlko the most popular route to Cal ifornia is by Bend, Silver Lake, Lake view, or Klamath Falls, Alturas, Cal- " Ifornia, and down the Pitt River Can yon, striking the Sacramento river at Redding. This la good road, and is open 10 months in this year, which means that when the Columbia River - Highway is open automobiles can trav el this route from Portland to Callfor- .' nia at least 10 months in the year. -'.'Leaving Fossil, we went through ' Condon, lone. Echo to Pendleton, and on to Walla Walla the same night, making a distance of 176 miles that day, over flria roads nearly the whole way. - . "Walla Walla is a city of about 26, 000 people, and every bit of the busi ness from the -Walla Walla country should be transacted In Portland. .How ever, we find this Is not the case, as Spokane gets as much o It as Port land; also Seattle and the Sound cities get a large portion of it. With the Columbia River Highway open, it will ' only be 280 miles from Portland to Walla Walla by this route, and this distance can easily be made In two days. Potential Patronage Per Oregon .. Baacb.es. "We find that thepeople up In that country during the summer have been going to the Puget Sound beaches, but when the Columbia River Highway is open to Seaside and Tillamook, which will be by the latter end of this year. I expect to sea these people patroniz ing the Oregon beaches, as they will be able to drive to them in perfect comfort; and it ia not unreasonable to xpect that when they come down this way for their pleasure we will be able to do a great deal of business with them. I look to see the Columbia Riv- open up; OF NATION IS PLAN MOUTH OFTHEGOLUMB I Ai CO M M U N ITI ES , ; SEE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT. NEAR AT HAND er Highway bring a large amount of business to,; Portland which it ia not now getting. From Walla Walla there are fine roads leading upto Lewiston, Idaho. Spokane and all over that coun try. -. r : ."' "Leaving Walla Walla, we returned by way of Pendleton to Heppner the first iay. At Heppner wa found tha most enthusiastic people anywhere on the trip. When this road i,open. they will be Just 200 miles from Portland; and they say they will b able to take their automobiles and beat tha train into Portland. "The wheat and other crops in east ern Oregon and Washington will be enT ormous this year, If nothing unforeseen happens to them; and the people all over that country told us that if the crops came up to their expectations. there would be an enormous demand for automobiles, as their distances up there are so great that they are a ne cessity. f . - "To our surprise, we learned that the roads in eastern Oregon and Washing ton are better in the winter time than in the summer, owing to the fact that what few rains they do get during the winter pack their roads, and they do not get muddy, we were toia mat au tomobiles could be used up there every day in the winter. s "Leaving Heppner, we drove tb The Dalles, a -distance of 100 miles, in six hours, put 'our car on the boat and came home. Significance of Columbia Highway. "One thing that Impressed all of us on this trip was the enormous country that this Columbia River Highway will open to Portland, one of the party stat ing that this Columbia River Highway will be of as much benefit to Portland as the building of a new transcon tinental railroad. The people out in eastern Oregon and Washington realize this far more than the people of Port land. A great many of the people of Portland look upon this road as a kind of 'Joy-rider proposition. One trouble with Portland is that things have come so easy to it that it has never got In and hustled for business like it would have If there had been another large city close by. To show, how the people on the Puget Sound realize the import ance of keeping in touch with the east ern part of their state, they are now building, at a much greater expense than the Columbia River Highway, a road across Snoqualmle- Pass. This road will be open about three months in the year, on account of snow. They hone to bo able to pull the California automobile tourist through by this road to the Puget Sound, and miss Portland entirely, which will surely happen if we don't get our road ready. "One important feature of this road will be the absolute change of climate between Portland and The Dalles, a distance of 88 miles. At Portland the annual rainfall is 46 inches, at Cascade Lnnka 77 inches, at Hood River 36 inches, and at The Dalles 16 inches There ih brobably no place in the world near a large city where such a condition exists.

Washington. June 6. President Wil son ia determined that tha great min eral resources of tha country shall be opened up ao that tha people may -en-Joy their benefits. In this he la being ably seconded by his able secretary of the interior. Franklin K. Lane, whom many persons declare la tha beat sec retary of tha interior that-the country has ever had. There are now before-congress, sev eral bills with the stamp of adminis tration approval, and these have been worked out largely through the efforts of the president and hla secretary of the Interior. In speaking of these bills tn president said recently that they represented the tirat intelligent, com prehensive and effective effort to open up the resources of the nation for tha benefit of the people. They aim at the protection of the 'Interests or tne government while enabling everyone to secure. that legitimate re ward to which he'is entitled for tha expenditure of brains, effort and cash in developing such resources and mak ing them available for the people. Chamberlain's Alaska Bill. Senator Chamberlain's Alaska . rail road bill was drafted and nut through congress with the approval and aid of the president It is generally credited wnn Deing one or the greatest con structive measures that congress has ever passed. Then cams the Alaska coal leasing bill. : This bill," said Secretary Lan.. In referring it to the correspondent of The Journal, "is supplementary Ind complementary to the Alaska railroad diii. Jt has already been reported fa vorably to both, houses of congress. It will permit the opening up and work ing of the great Alaska coal fields. On the Pacific coast people well know how important this will be to the in dustrial interests of that region. "Then there is the Irrigation bill. It gives more generous ferms," con tinued the secretary, "for the payment by settlers on reclamation projects of the money due from them to the gov ernment. It will enable them to im prove their holdings with better re sults by giving them 20 years Instead of 10 years to complete their pay ments. Coal and Oil Development. "As important as any of these meas ures, perhaps, is the general leasing Din, which will allow the coal, oil and phosphate lands of the west to be developed under the leasing plan. Th, only law applicable to the development of oil lands has been the placer mining law, wnicn has been proven to be en tirely inadequate, and not fitted to oil development. There are 3.000,000 acres of phos phate lands which we have not been able to work at all under existing laws.

Mouth of tha Columbia communities are equipping a harbor. It is a harbor of hope. Almost physically one may see the gateway to world commerce swing open before their eager expecta tion. Approval rewards, belief attends prediction's daring flight into the fu ture. 1 Last week, all in one day, actual work was started on the Hill ocean and rail terminal at Flavel, where the twin steamers now under construc tion will berth, on the Astoria public docks Intended to facilitate any Pan ama canal carrier, .on the Astoria sea wall back of which will be made ground as permanent base for that portion of the city now founded on piling, and on the Clatsop county sec tion of the Columbia highway. These structural enterprises are the advance facilities of a great commerce. and it is the possibilities of their use that arrest attention and enliven imag ination. Lacking adequate outlet, Co lumbia basin commerce has been large ly born into and out of Puget sound, and even as far south as San j?ran Cisco. Qf northwest commerce Puget sound last year handled 62 per cent; Vancouver, B. C, 23 per cent, and the Columbia river 8 per cent. But with an open harbor last year's foreien commerce of 116,000,000 for the Columbia river might be increased to an anual $150,000,000. The fact that there is now on the. bar at the rlver'a mouth a 30 foot channel, where last year there was 25 feet, and that this depth has good promise of being increased to 35 feet by the end of the vear and to 40 feet within three years through combined dredging and Jetty work, gives warrant for the most op timistic predictions as to tne certainty of an open harbor.

The long train from Portland rolled in. Bands' struck up march time music. The crowd, gathered in the yard of the berfutiful big hotel building, with Its shading of trees and shrubs. There were addresses. Jubilant talks warm with optimism. Everyone moved down to a trestle at the water's edge. Presi dent L. C Gilman of the P. & S. climbed upon the trestle. He waved a white handkerchief. The tonweight of a giant pile driver down thrust its blow upon a straight, alender fir pointed into the earth. Work bad been begun on the work that ia to make the mouth of the Columbia river the ocean terminus and transfer point of the Hill interests. It was a moment big with future. It possessed a significance passed over by the conservatively sober mind. Sup pose Captain Gray and the Columbia with which, in 1792, he sailed into and named the kingly river, had lived to look upon that scene. Suppose John JacoW Astor could have come back to see his prediction of 1811, that the mouth of the river would be a great assembling point of business, set in the way of fulfillment. Suppose the startled eyes of Lewis and. Clark might have- been permitted to look upon such a throng, not of aborigines but of whites, rhappy in possession. Suppose John Day, with "eye like an eagle and step like a panther," bad come suddenly upon such a spectacle! Or, to come to the second genera tion of pioneers, suppose Captain George Flavel and Captain A. M. Simpson had been witnesses of the event. These two men had established pilotage at the mouth of the Colura bla. They had made passage of the bar when the channel waa less than 18 feet and had dared every kind of rough weather.
