hemisphere to Egypt to view the
' great pyramid of Glxeh.
Now, this mission can be ac-
i eompUshed In much aimpler and
less expensive fashion. All that Is
required Is a 3 8 1-mile automobile
drive from Portland. The change
In traveling dlsUnce Is not be

' challenges verbal description. It Is
like some relic of the massiTe and
thundreding ice age that still sur-
Tires In an era of smaller and less
er creations. The only way to un
f derstand Its unbelievable propor-
tioas Is to point your automobile
$ northeastward and drive the SSI
miles necessary to see it for your-
self.
On the way to Grand Coulee
you will pass Bonneville dam, as
did the white motorlog car of The
Oregonlan and the Oregon State
Motor association. -Perhaps your
reaction will be the same as that
of Harris Ellsworth, publisher of
the Roseburg News-Review. En
route up the Columbia along the
Washington bank of the river, he
looked at Bonneville. "By gosht"
he said, "that's some project. Just
get a look at those piers and pen-
Stocks." . i . i ..;
' Later, Passing Remark ,
Two days later the motorlog
car came back past Bonneville,
headed down the river this time.
In the Interim Ellsworth had seen
Grand Coulee. He viewed Bonne
? vtlle without comment for several
moments. Then he turned to an
: astonished j government guard
standing nearby. "Nice cute little
dam you have here,"! he blithely
i remarked. "Do the boys take It
down at night, or do they work on
fit all the-time?" ;
There Is but one method of ap
I predating, the size of Grand Coulee
. see It for1 -yourself. However, a
few comparisons with Bonneville
- may be of interest. Bonneville will
be 170 feet high. Grand Coulee
.500 feet. Bonneville will be 180
feet thick. Grand Coulee 550 feet
Bonneville will be 1800 feet long.
Grand Coulee 4300 feet.
To reach this monumental edi-
f ice, you drive via U. S. 830 op
j the Columbia gorge from Vancou
ver to Goldendale. Then on U. S.
7 to Ellensburg, going through
sToppenlsh and Yakima. This con
sumes about Z40 of the miles be

Information Service Good
Th$ department of the interior,
through the reclamation bureau,
has made excellent arrangements
for providing information for
people who visit the project. A
vlewtower and grandstand (both
free) look down on the dam, and
a loudspeaker public-address sys
tem carries the announcer's ex
planation to persons within sever
al hundred feet. There is a sup
ply available of pamphlets tfiat
are clearly written and explain the
purpose of the enterprise with
out indulging In long words and
effulgent phraseology.
. If you .want more data than
this public service supplies, there
are two men in the long, colonial
style administration building at
the model village who - make It
their business to describe the pro
ject to people who want to look
behind the superficialities.
They are O. G. F. Markhus, the
engineer in charge of public re
lations, and S. E. Hutton. the di
rector of publicity. Markhus Is a
whimsical, bald Scotchman who
wears a cap and smokes a pipe.
Hutton has a little goatee and
looks like the late Lincoln Stef
fens. They are quiet, philosophic
individuals, who love to amplify
Grand Coulee- to bewildered per
sons who cannot understand Just
why the federal government Is
spending more money la eastern
Washington than it cost to build
the Panama canal.
Briefly, here Is the why of
Grand Coulee: The Columbia ba
sin project is a chunk of poten
tially fertile land twice as large
as Rhode Island. To bear in
abundance all the crops native to
the northwest all It needs is water.
Water It caa get If the Columbia
is diverted back Into the conlee,
and thence run from the coulee
through Irrigation canals to the
Columbia basin project, This can
be accomplished by throwing: the
world's largest chunk of masonry
across the river at the head of the
coulee, and generating enough

Broadway Bridge
Held Danger Spot
"Use extreme caution when
you drive across the Broadway
bridge In Portland," was the
warning sounded by traffic acci
dent figures for the first five
months of 1JS7, released Thurs
day by Secretary of State Snell.
Portland bridges contributed
317 traffic accidents to the city
traffic toll du r 1 a g the Ave
months period, with the Broad
way spaa, with 17 S accideatsj
leading all others by a wide
margin. ; '
Snell said more accidents were
reported on the Broadway bridge
than on all other Portland spans
combined. , ,
The several bridges and num
ber of accidents on each follow:
Broadway bridge 175, t Burnside
2J, Hawthorne 45, Morrison 11,
Ross Island 33, St. Johna 10,
Sell wood 3 and Steel bridge 11.
The survey showed the Broad

motorist but also . the most
dangerous accident spot in port
land. Rodgers Clan Will Hold

How Docs Your Garden Grow?
Oriental Poppies Are Great Gardener's Gift to
; Lazy .Gardeners; Easy to Grow
By LILLIK L. MADS EN
MRS. A. N. of Salem writes for
information on Oriental pop-
. pies. She wants to know if
she should replant them .now.
What sort of soil, and If they can
be grown from seed.
Oriental pop
pies are the
great gardener's
gift to lasy gar
deners. They are
adapted to ex
tr ernes in cli
mate and care.
They are very
hardy and al
most absurdly
easy to g r o w.
There are no
special poppy
pests. No special
soils are requir
ed and they will
LOUS Ma4m
grow in either a fair amount of
sun or shade. Ot course they
really prefer the sun.
There Is one important matter
in poppy culture, however. That
is the planting time. Popples re
fuse to be agreeable if they are
moved at any time other than
their dormant period. This usually
starts in late August and from
then until early October, it seems
quite safe to move poppies.
Too Much Water
One other important factor Is
that no water be permitted to
.stand over their crowns in win
ter. This is most frequently fatal
One should not plant annuals over
the poppies for late autumn. Din
ing their dormant period, pop
pies want to be let alone and all
they want all day long is to bask
in warm sun.
While Oriental poppies grow
comparatively easily from seed
the results are not dependable.
Unless you have some time for
experimentation It is better to
buy the plants which have already
bloomed and showed their color.
Those who are planning to add
popples to their garden in Aug
ust should be making a study of
some of the new varieties. Many
ot the gardeners who visited the
Klelnsorge gardens this May will
remember the immense, satiny
blooms Mrs. Klelnsorge had grow
ing. I remember someone asked
me at that time that when poppy
planting time came to mention
some ot the newer varieties.
New VarleUe lasted
Among the new deep reds art
Lulu A. Neely, Beauty ot Liver-
mere, and Trlbly. The delightful
Chinese red is Mandarin. A
pretty soft pink, really a salmon
ptnk. Is Mrs. Perry. Good scarlet
ones among the new are the tall
Wurtembergia and Prosperlne. A
grand new scarlet in Colonel
Bowles and one of the very beat
rose-reds Is Wunderklnd. Cavalier
is a cherry red.
Old time favorites In the pink
group are Joyce, Cerise Beauty
and Perfection.
But among the best ot the new
pinks are June Delight. 'Parity,
Enchantress, Echo. Gold ot Ophir
is the only poppy yet Introduced
which has a decidedly golden
tone.
Ot course there are many other
exceptionally fine ones. Selections
of any flower are, after all, large
ly a matter of individual taste.
One might mention Bed Lacquer,
Mrs. Stobart, Nancy. Australia,
Amun Ra the flaming orange
red King Allumeuse a deep and
onuiant pink, and Coral cup with
to consider whether they can af
ford to he without an operators
license for three years - before
taking n chance on breaking
any provision of the law that
means revocation of their driving-
pHvUege,- Snell concluded.

This is also iris planting time.
Those of you who visited the gar
dens this spring should Jbe get
ting the varieties you wrote down
in your note books. Do not forget
we also hare autumn-blooming
irises now. These were originated
seven or eight years ago in France
but can now be had from Amer

10 inches to 30 inches high.
One, of the smallest is Neola

blooms from them this autumn if
you plant them at once. But they
will bloom next .spring and will
repeat themselves in autumn.
Franklin Roosevelt, a red purple.
Is very good but it still brings a
fancy price. But Eleanor Roose
velt, a violet. Is within the reach
of most purses.. Other good aut
umn blooming varieties are Jean
Siret, Autumn Dawn, Frost Queen,
October Opera, Jane Krey and
Golden Harvest, the latter a deep
yellow.
Plant Anemones Soon ' i ' .
Anemones should also bo plant
ed la late August or very early
September. When you receive
your anemone roots do not throw
them away because they look all
dried out and completely gone.
Instead, . soak them for about
three hours in water and then
plant them. They should be put
down one Inch and about six
inches apart. They will repay you
In early spring.
In order to get these plants and
bulbs which should be planted in
late summer or early autumn, or
der them now and let the. grow
er aend them to you at the time
he thinks best to plant. Unless
you order them soon yon will
likely forget to do so, and next
spring will be one more spring In
which yon promise yourself that
in fall you will surely get some
new poppies or anemonies or some
of the other flowers which should
bo planted in July, August and
September. r
To those of you who complain
of the cherry slugs on your lawn
trees I suggest a. spray or dust
ing of arsenate ot lead. Use In the
proportions ot tare level table
spoonsful of arsenate to' a gallon
of water. The slugs aren't really
slugs but are larvae hatched from
sawflies. The larvae should be

will bloom throughout the ante
umn. Some of the honeysuckle
vines have lovely red berries, but
the fragrance of the flowers la,
autumn more than make up for
the loss of the berries. Although
it has seemingly beta t damp
year, you will have a better dis
play of axalea and rhododendron
bloom next spring if you give the
shrubs plenty of water now when
they are setting their buds.
This applies as well to the Kal
mla and camella. Particularly is
this so of those which were plant
ed while they were in bloom this
spring. Unless they are given ex
tra care they will not bloom again
the following spring. But remem
ber, after watering, do not hoe
about our . azaleas or rhododen
drons. These should be mulched.
Peat moss or leaf mould will suf
fice. In spite of the dire things some
gardeners promised me would
happen to mine when I put a saw
dust mulch on a year ao this
summer, I must admit I never had
better azalea blooms than last
.spring. The idea was not original
with me. A commercial azalea
grower out from Cottage Grove
told me that he found a sawdust
mulch one of the best and he used
sawdust from an old mill site.
