How-to raise funds with whleh to
jflnish the. grading of th Columbia riv
ter highway in Clatsop and Columbia
ountleo and then hardsurfae it was
tUscussed at a special meeting of the
holnmeHa Highway aasociatlon at the
Jearhart hotel Thursday night imroe-
Idiately after the opening of the bigh-
vay to travel.
There was a general expression of
kentlment that the two counties .had
Hons their full part, especially Colum
bia county, which has made the great
est sacrifice of any county in Oregon
to the causs of better roads.
For several .years' Clatsop county
will derive much more benefit from
he highway than Columbia -on account
if the coast travel. For that - reason
he opinion was expressed that no fur
ther contribution should be expected
from Columbia county and that It was
how up to the state to complete the
Iwortc
State Aid XTecessary.
The discussion resulted In the adop
tion of a motion that the advisory
board of the state highway commis
aion, composed of S. Benson, of Fort
land; Leslie Butler, of Hood River, and
iL II. Albert, of Salem, formulate and
Lubmit some plan by which state aid
(could be extended.
County Judge i Clark of Columbia
fcounty made a plea for state aid. He
Maid his county had already expended
bn the highway $260,000, raised by a
bond issue, and '$80,000, raised by di
rect levy. For next year It will be lm-
fossible for the county to raise more
nan a five mill tax for road purposes.
tfhlch must be devoted to its other
oads. If the state would appropriate
550.000 the present gap between Rain
ier; and Beaver valley .would be closed.
Speaking for Clatsop county, ex-
County Judge Judd said its resources
were exhausted 'and that, if the road
Is to be finished, help must come from
outside sources. : In addition to - the
money raised by: a. bond Issue and di
rect taxes, business men of Astoria,
he as. id, had advanced to the ' county
ch sum of $25,000.
Strategic Value of Bo ad.
A suggestion for federal aid was
contained, in a resolution submitted
Jby O. W. Taylor and unanimously
(adopted.
The- resolution, after referring to
the necessity of modern higways fn
the transportation of troops, and ord
nance in time of war for defensive pur
poses, calls attention to the great value
of the Columbia river highway from
Portland to Astoria and then down the
coast to Tillamooki says direct benefit
to the general" government through Its
improvement would come, closing:
"lnereiore, De it resoivea, mar, it. is
the sense of this association that the
lattentlon of the secretary of war be
called to the great importance of this
highway for strategical purposes; and
the fact that when properly surfaced
it would also greatly aid In the agri
cultural development of a large sec
tion, and that for these reasons the
highway should -receive the indorse
ment and financial support of our gen
eral government."
Secretary "to Be Consulted.
It was further resolved that a copy
of the resolution be mailed the secre
tary of war with a request that the
department make an Investigation of
the highway with a view to rendering
assistance In its completion.
Another action taken by the associa
tion was to promise moral support to
a movement being organized by Samuel
Hill and Frank Terrace of washing-
ton: to plan a great highway on the
Washington shore of the .Columbia
river from North Beach and Ilwaco
to British Columbia, to be Jtnown as
as the "Great North road."
In the general congratulation over
the present condition of the Columbia
river highway, 6. Benson declared that
it was remarkable to see what haa
already been accomplished and that
work had been dona substantially and
permanently. It would excel the work
done by other states and the men wno
had done it were entitled to the great
est credit, he said. It should be fin
ished, he thought, by the state. He
advocated raising money by a state
bond issue.
Leslie. Butler and J. H. . Albert, his
associates on the advisory board, spoke
on. similar lines. a
Bat People 33emandvaliie.
C. S. Jackson said that if honest
value was given in road construction
there would be no moBsbackism or
miserliness on the part of the people
in providing funds. If the people
are raitnruny servea. o tuuuuucw
there will be no hesitation In i-iving
money. They must first be assured
that they will get a dollar's worth
of road for every dollar spent.
Referring to the $10,000,000 bond
issue . advocated by Mr. Benson and
other members of the advisory board,
hethought that It would be better
to proceed slowly and demonstrate
that the state was; qualified to enter
on road improvement on a large
acale. He suggested that it would
be better, for a year or so to spend
only $1,000,000 on j-oads, raising' half
the amount by direct tax.
. Th Columbia river highway had
cost Multnomah county approximate
ly $1,000,000, but It was worth $20,
000,000, he said, and the people of
the county and state not only have
the road, but the original million
that it cost has been returned to
them, ' ,.-.'
' r One highway o the Pacific coast,
he added,- would accomplish more for
national def ense : i than five dread
naughts.' Bond ' Issues , tn. Balance.
C W. .Hodson :i expressed one of
Mr. Jackson's ideas when he said
that if goodi results . were obtained
from bond issues, there would be no
difficulty in passing: further 1 bond
issues; but if good result were not
obtained it was unnecessary to talk
about raising money in that manner.
' Frank Terrace ears assurance that
the people of -the state - will - finish
the Columbia river highway and that
it would be hardisurfaeed from' the
sea, to Hood River.: He paid a tribute
to the work of Engineers Lancaster
)and Bowlby and suggested that stone
monuments to them Jse set up along
the highway, - . .

URGED
NEW HIGHWAY TO THE SEA A
I :cr --a irf - rf- :
Thursday's Dedicatory Trip
Over Lower Columbia River
Highway an Eye-Opener.
j
Cordial Reception Appreciated.
Speaking as president of the
Columbia Highway association,
under whose . auspices the Co
lumbia river highway, from
Portland to the sea was dedi
cated Thursday, Julius L. Meier
said yesterday,' "The officers of
the association are very appre
ciative of the reception given
us at the different -towns
through which we passed and
the presence of the groups of
people along the road side. -It
is a, matter of regret that we
"could not have staid longer
and showed" our appreciation in
a substantial way but our
schedule compelled us to hur
ry through.
''The assembling' of the peo
' pie at the cross roads is an evi
dence of their realization of
what the highway means in
the future development of the
country and their release from
isolation. t u - v ' -
fe
Another forward step in highway de
velopment in (Oregon was taken last
Thursday " when the lower section of
the Columbia river highway, from
Portland to the sea, a distance of 125
miles, was formally opened to travel.
While the dream of a highway
through the wooded valleys and around
the rocky bluffs of Columbia and
Clatsop counties has come true the
road i8 stilly in an unfinished condi
tion. There is much work yet to be
done.
At present it is only a fair weather
road. A heavy rain would make It
Impassable owing to the soft condition
of the new grade ' and uncompleted
drainage.
Before, the highway reaches its full
efficiency there are ' sections of old,
road to be eliminated and the road bed
must be hardsurfaced. When this is
accomplished the trip from Portland to
the beach can be made easily in four
houre by automobile.
In traveling over the new sections
cf the road one is impressed with the
excellent Judgment shown by Former
State Highway fcngineer Bowlby and
his assistants' in locating the road and
the engineering capacity in surmount
ing natural obstacle.
Much has been said of the beauty
of the upper section of the highway,
between Portland and Hood River. The
lower section is in full keeping with
it, both from the location and the con
struction standpoints.
Economic Vain Is Sigh.
As a scenic route it will not suffer
greatly in comparison. Its chief value,
however, lies in its instrumentality In
developing a great agricultural section
which it makes accessible. It passes
through thousands of acres of .the rich
est soil. In addition to the vast tracts
of upland there are Immense stretches
of delta lands brought within reach.
In its finished state the highway
will represent an expenditure of over
one minion collars m the two counties.
tut the value it will create will be
many times greater.
The formal opening of ' the road
Thursday consisted f a procession o
auiomoDiies containing men who bad
a prominent part in the construction.
state 'and county officials and taxpav
ers. Leaving , Portland there were 60
automobiles headed by the one contain
ing Julius L. Meier. nrestdAnt of th
Columbia Highway association, under
wnose auspices th road was dedicated.
United States Senator Chamberlain and
Governor Withycombe.
At Rainier there wera a few addi
tions to the party made, and at Clats
kanie the Portland party was met nv
over one hundred machines with resi
dents of Astoria, Seaside and other
eoast points.H to . serve as an escort
through Clatsop county. It was in the
nature . of a triumphal croceaslon
Along the route people gathered and
showered, the occupants, of the pass
ing cars with flowers and in other
ways expressed their , appreciation of
the significance of the occasion, which
included their release from isolation.
It was a matter of regret to President
Meier and other members of the asso
ciation that the time schedule did
not permit mor.e stopa to fratemlte
with the local Inhabitants who gath
ered at the . roadside .and - at cross
roads. '
Whence Came the People.
A most noticeable feature of these
roadside greetings was the wonder
where the people ' came f rom ; There
were ho signs of habitation, only
woods as far: as the eye could reach.
The children ; were well dressed and
specially chubby and healthy. To
many of them it was probably the first
sight of an automobile. At least they

had never before seen such .a. collec
tion of them. .
Leaving Portland af 7:30 a. m. the
party ' drove through Scapppose and
Warren to St. Helens, where a .brief
stop was made.
Then on through Columbia City to
Tide creek, where the first new con
struction was encountered. Here the
road . follows at the foot' of a steep
bluff to Goble. The 'lower elope ex
tends into a slough which', was once
the channel of the Columbia river. In
the vicinity of Goble the line comes
into close contact with the railroad
and it was necessary to throw the"
highway into the bluff, taking a one
hundred foot cut on the upper side.
This made the cost of construction
very heavy. Prescott point is sur
mounted on a five percent gcade. The
old road was over-twenty percent. Citi.
zens of 'Rainier have started a move
ment to rechristen this point by giv
ing it the name of Bowlby, In honor
of former State Highway I Engineer
Bpwlby. From this point a magnifi
cent view of the-river and the fields
of Cowlitz county .on the Washington
side is to be had. ' After leaving this
point for Rainier the first waterfall is
passed. It is Little Jack falls, named
in honor of the son of District Engi
neer Thompson. The falls overhang
the highway eighty feet above the
road bed. Coming into Rainier the
party was met by a large assemblage
of maidens and matrons who show
ered the machines and their occupants
with flowers, bouquets of sweet peas
and roses. The omnipresent small boy
was here With his small apples. One
of these struck Circuit Judge Ganten
toeirt in the eye, causing a serious in
jury. Rainier was decorated with flags
and bunting and welcome signs were
suspended everywhere.
Throngli Beaver Valley.
Going out of - Rainier a detour was
made over the old road which leads to
the top of the hill over a very heavy
grade and corduroy. At the top of the
hill is a commanding view of the sur
rounding country. Going down iatp
Beaver valley the new grade is again
met and traveled over for considerable
distance. Passing through 'upper Bea
ver valley another detour from the
line of the highway is made over an
old road. It is impossible to traverse
the hew grade owing to the lack of
bridges. This section of the road is
said to be an interesting one. The line
follows the meanderings of Beaver
creek. In places the valley la very nar
row and is walled first on on side
and then on the other -by vertical rock
cliffs. This involves numerous stream
crossings.
In' places the roadway Is benched
out of the rock bluff a One of the
most picturesque, spots on -the road is
Beaver falls, 60 feet high. -The road
way overhangs the falls 50 feet above
its crest. '...'"
Crossing out of . Beaver valley the
automobile caravan left the new road
and proceeded to Oatskanie by an old
county road. It was near Clatskanie
that the only accident on the trip oc
curred. A woman was walking: up the
heavy grade carrying a suitcase. Paul
Wesslnger, to avoid striking : her.
turned out "a little way. His car be
gan to slide- off the, grade and - was

Clatskaale's Warm Welcome.
A few minutes after the Portland
party arrived the Astoria and Seaside
delegations coming from the west en
tered town with the screech of auto
horns and 'the music of the Seaside
band. The automobiles were parked
on both sides of the main street al
most its entire length. A stop of one
hour and a half was made here, dur
ing which time the people of Clats-
kaine served a buffet lunch. This
was followed by some formal speaking
by Senator Chamberlain, Governor
Withycombe, Samuel Hill, S. Benson,
A. S. Benson, Engineer Cantine, Frank
Terrace and others. Across the street
from the speakers there was a . won
derful display of vegetables. This
served as a text for Frank Terrace to
Impress what the opening of the high
way meant In the development of a
country that had such resources.
From Clatskanie to Westport the
party went over the new road.
Great care has been exercised in
constructing the road along here. Con
siderable difficulty was experienced in
adjusting' a line with easy curvature
to clear the marshes and avoid heavy
cutting into the wet and soggy side
hills, which are very susceptible to
slides. A thorough system of drain
age will have to be worked out here
to maintain the roadway during the
rainy season.
A noticeable feature about the work
in Columbia county is the large
amount of work that has been done
by contractors Standifer & Clarkson
in the past five weeks. When they
took over thework it was in a very
unfinished state. So far as finish
Is concerned their work will rank with
thkt on the Multnomah county section.
The engineering part of the work
has been done by- C. C. Kelly, district
engineer.
Near Westport the dedication party
entered Clatsop county. In Clatsop
county the work is farther along and
all the way to Astoria there were only!
two err three short detours off the
new grade. ..
Buffby Mountain Biffhtly Spot.
One of the chief assets of the high
way is found at Bugby mountain. To
get to the top of Bugby pass at an ele
vation of 1 BO feet on a S per cent grade
required great engineeijng skill. For
years the mountain has stood as a
barrier to the construction ; of a high
way through Clatsop county from east
to west.
' From its summit there is a pano
rama which in extent exceeds the one
from Crown Point and other points
on the upper river. Looking to the
westward,, the Pacific ocean can be
seen on a clear day. ,
To get to the summit . of the pass,
a series of loops were Introduced. The
