The last Important step In the Im provement of the Pacific highway was the letting of the grading contract for the Canyonville-Galesville section in Douglas county to the American Explor ation company by the United States forest service. The road is a forest road In which the state, federal government and Douglas county will cooperate. The estimated ! cost of the Improvement Is $157,000.

The contractors I are the same who constructed the Wolf creek hill grade in Josephine county for ,' the state. The completion of the Canyonville Galesville stretch will eliminate all the bad spots on the Pacific highway be fween Eugene and the California bound ' ary and bring the highway to a state of r.eaf completion.
