During the was there was a move ment along th Hawkey Highway. extending across Iowa from Dubuque to Sioux City In nearly a straight line, by way of Waterloo, Fort Dodge and Cherokee, and twenty or thirty other towns, to have the Grand High way absorb that route of travel. Soon after the Armistice was Bigned this consolidation of the two orga nizations was effected, and in 1919 the Grant Highway was extended from Pendleton to Astoria Is what we call the 'Columbia River High way." and the portion from Astoria to Seaside Is a part of our 'Roosevelt Highway'." Briefly, .the Grant Highway Is the most direct route from Cliicajro to Yellowstone Park and the Pacific coast, the one with the lowest alti-. tude and the one where no wilder nesses are encountered. By the end of the coming year more than a across northern Nebraska by way of thousand miles of this route will Laurel,' Randolph.

In the past, construction of many urgently nyfded forest roads in Ore gon, Washington and Alaska has been deferred for lack of sufficient funds. Much of this work can go forward.
