One of the moit beautiful vlewa on the highway iu oh the ele atlon between Ragle and Moffet creeks. Here is crossed the ridge that marks the summit of the Caacade mountains). It wan from here that ex tended the traditional Bridge of the Uods. from a Muff rising 200 feet sheSr above the railroad track the highway looks out across the Columbia at the lower end of its cascades to Table mountain. 3400 feet high, which is said to have been the north pier of the fa bled bridge. On the right on the Ore gon side is ftecn the 2000 foot peak which formed the southern pier. Up and down the river for miles there is an unobstructed view of river and mountain that no artist can paint. It Is a picture full ofiajesty and color. TJiere is the greert or the for est, the sliver of the river, the purple of the Irregularly carved bluffs and at this season of the year the red and yellow of the maples. , It Is one of these views that must he seen to be fully appreciated- Its ef fect Is best expressed by Koadmaster John 11.

The view at this point does not suf fer in comparison with the view at Thor's heights and 8hepherd! Dell, but 'it has an individuality of its iown. One of the striking features of the hlgh- -way is this individuality of scene. No two spots are alike. There is a con ctant unrolling of a new panorama at every turnof the road. Kven one par ticular spot changes from day to day. The shifting lights and colors cause new combinations and blendings of view. The portion of the highway between Kagie Creek and Warrendale is being t fast opened by a force of 400 graders. ' ft' J : 1 . J I I . .

It la expected to have the grading work practically; finished. Next spring everything will be ready for the installation of the concrete bridges. There are four of these bridges, the estimated cost of which will approxi mate J.jO.OOO. The largest one Is to span Pierce creek near Warrendale. It wlU.bc a girder bridge 350 feet long. At Moffett cfeek there will be an arch brldne 170 feet In length. Bridges to Be Built. At BonneVtlle Tanner creek is crossed above the state fish hatchery on a K0 foot span. At this point also there will be a 23 foot fill, 600 feet long across the creek bottom from the eastern end of the bridge. Kagle creek will be crossed at nearly the same point on which was locate'! th.e. old military road bridge. . From Kagle creek the highway winds up to .the top of the hill and around the point where it cresses the county line through a grove of tall firs. The Eagle creek bridge is to be a 60 foot kpan. Between Kagle creek and Pierce creek the old military road is Crossed many times, bringing Into sharp con trast the vast difference between the old find present day method of high way construction.. The old military load was narrow, full of sharp turns and grades running as high as 20 or more per cent. The new highway is over twice as wide and In no place doea the grade exceed 5 per cent. The curves are long and graceful, afford ing a view of the road a long distance ahead. At the county line the Hood River county unit of the Columbia River highway begins and a large force of men is working eastward. By next June the highway should be completed to The Dalles. by S. C.

British Will Keep Khedive in Turkey Tear aa Uprlalaf la Egypt and Order Killer to Coatlaue Mim Visit to tba Saltan. London, Oct. 24. That the khedive of Egypt, who Is now In Constanti nople, has been forbidden by the Brit ish government to return to his do minions for the present is a belief cur rent among Englishmen who keep Tn toncfi with Egyptian affairs. The khedive was In Constantinople visiting the sultan when the war be gan, and was fired upon and slightly wounded by an Egyptian political agitator. The loyalty of the khedive to British rule is strongly questioned by Anglo-Egyptians. With lrd Kitchener absent front Kgypt and most ef the regular British garrison withdrawn for service in F ranee, the opportunity for revolu nonary oKbraks is unusual. Under these circumstances it is possible that Britain may use pressure to induce the Khedive to prolong his visit in Constantinople until the close of the war. There are lo.OOO British territorials in the garrisons of Egypt who have repiacea tne regular troops sent to I-ranee. Mathematician Dies A Charity Patient Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 24.

Every motorist operating a water cooled car should realize that cylin ders and radiator are liable to freeze when the temperature falls below 32 degrees F. This iecessttates the ad dition to the cooling water of a safe and economical medium which will lower its freezing temperature. Salt calcium chloride and glycerine have been tried but are objectionable be cause of eventual injury to parts due to corrosion, electrolytic action and decomposition. Proprietary substances should be avoided unless their constituents are disclosed. Experiments prove that de natured alcohol (tax-free ethyl ale)' hoi) is the beet for the purpose be cause it is manufactured and sold under the supervision of the United States government. It is uniformly pure, besides being harmless, efficent and cheap. A quart to each gallon of water in the cooling system is suffi cient to prevent freezing.

Let Us Give You the Facts- C. L. BOSS 615-617 WASHINGTON STREET, PORTLAND Rome, Oct. 24. A dispatch from I Cettinje says: "A close watch at night is necessary at the military camps not only because of the fear of the enemy, but on account of the dread of wolves, which, when the first snow covered the mountain tops, began to descend and wander in rapacious bands, at tacking the living if they cannot find dead." i cp. n - -5 1 v The currycomb recently patented by j two residents of Washington Is a ' square plate, each side of which 1 formed to perform a different duty. Frank C. Riggs, one of Portland's prominent automobile distrlDutors, who is on a visit east, in writing to lis local manager gave some very in tereetlnn Information regarding tiie return to this country of J. R. Clarke, recently with the Packard company in Paris, France. Mr. Clarke served a.s driver of a Packard car in the ser vice of the Fignal department of tjto allied army, and had some very inter esting experiences. During 18 days of service of this capacity he had an opportunity or oo serving many of the conditions that motor trucks and passenger cars are confronted with in the war work. Fu41y 90 per cent of all the passenger cars are being uaea in neu iuob - . These car are suffering largely from lo.-v nf drivers. Frequently taxicab drivers are placed on mgn-powerea cars with which they are not famil iar and accidents are frequent. Many of these taxicab drivers are not la- miliar with necessary care a car should receive, and consequently mere are many cars destroyed through sheer careleHsness. There is much danger connecteu with driving cars in any service, largely because the lights are put out In the city streets and at points along country roads, for arety purposes. Thoy are not allowed to use headlights and as there is practically as mucn driving done at night as in tne daytime there are many cars aestroyeo. juany Pord cars are at present being used In the ambulance service. When war broke out a number were requisitioned by the government and attnat time the company started to equip a num ber of chassis with ambulance bodies which are proving satisfactory. Mr. Clarke had ah opportunity of observing the work of the motor truck mnvovi in tne transportation ui am munition and supplies. At times 150 j to 300 trucks are run in convoys, sue- cesstve trucaa being about 60 yards apart. They travel generally at 15 miles per hour, and keep on the regu lar roads, -there being such a network of these that It is not necessary to do any cross-field . work. At present the English army Is los ing approximately 100 trucks a week and the French army an equal num ber, due to the average destruction which occurs. For example, a truck halts at the roadside to make some re pair and If the driver leaves it there is danger of the drivera of other ve hicles atealing magnetos, carburetors, or other spares which they require. Because of this many trucks are event ually destroyed for minor troubles, The broadest use of motor trucks for the different armies IS from what is known aa Pailhead, which means the end of the railroad system In use, to within a short distance of the firing lint, in fact, provision wagona are operating right up to the trenches in some nlaces and Red Cross vehicles are also working right to the firing line. The Goodrich tire factory In Paris Is being operated by the government, which is manufacturing solid rubber tires for trucks. Practically all of the other factories in France are being operated by the army, but in many the output is very restricted because of "tick of mateciaL .
