The federal govern ment offers to assist in bettering these road to the extent of 7 per cent of their total length, or a total of 2,927 miles; the federal appropriations will amount to about SI, 000, 000 a year for three years. The road3 are classified as "Primary" and "Secondary" hiEhwavs. Of the first class there are the Columbia highway. Astoria to Pendleton; the Umatil la Cut-off, Umatilla to Wallula on the Walla Walla road; the old Oregon trail, Pendleton to the Idaho state line; the Pacific high way, Portland to the California state line: and the Roosevelt highway, Astoria to the Califor nia line. These make a total of 1,245.1 miles. The secondary highways are of inter-county and and state-development Import ance, and draw a less sum per mile for their building. Pendleton Holds up The bill authorizing the appro priation of the money has already passed congress, but 'the actual appropriation has not yet been made.
