PHNDLETON'H VIEW ON CUT-OFF NARROW ONE The editorial broadside of the E O. berating the Portland Chamber of Commerce in Its stand towards t In (hnntllln -Wallula cut-off we shall leave In the hands of the Portland Chamber of Commerce for reply Hut we must take issue upon tin narrow basis the broad and publii spirited eft) of Pendleton lakes on this cut-olT. II Is the old "live-wlth In" decadent spirit of an ossified Oregon. Willi the construction of a brldgi at I'asco means the diverting of West bound auto travel thru the Yakima valley to Timet Sound With the Uniatilla-Walliila cut-off con structed means the diverting of two thirds of this travel over the Col umbia highway. It means a greater travel to yon, Tendleton, if you would but raise your sights. We recently had occasion to drive to Wulla Walla via Pendleton Wi Bnd we I raveled forty miles out of our way. The same applies to Spo kane and Interior Washington points. This cut-off gives direct connection with the Yellowstone and evergreen highways. The states as Individuals are con structing their highways. Is It not asslnine not to link the two systems at their nearest point? Is not the government Interested from a mili tary standpoint In this short connec tion? And Pendleton, don't belittle your self In Intimlnatlng that you will knife the 1925 tax unless Portland behaves herself You know you have already laid your ground plans In preparation for this 1925 fair. You know it means an uplift for the state In general. Do not plug an artery that this Inflowing blood will course through, when Oregon needs blood transfusion to save her from herself. We like to see and think of Pen dleton as the big broad progressive city that vou are. Hut when you fear the rut off will cut-off your sale of Cheese and gas and vou do not see the. vital need of this connection to the state In general your broad ness is narrowed to a glimmering sin He big Pendleton. Be what you real i are. WONDERS OF AMERICA ByT.T.MAXET (B. Western Newspaper Union. OUR GREATEST BALANCED DRAWBRIDGE IS ONE way It Is surprising and In another It Isn't that In the most unexpected of places one often will find the- greatest of its kind. To Illustrate, across the Chicago river, which is not a nationally-known stream, at Kith street, Chicago, one Is a bit astonished to find a single lift, counterbalanced bridge that Is one of the marvels of engineering anil the longest and greatest structure of the kind in the world. At l his point an exceedingly heavy truffle Interchange takes place between several large railroad systems and, at the same time, the traffic on thl busy little river Li such that the con tlnuous How of the rail traffic is fre quently Interrupted by the passing of ships. This condition necessarily called for a structure which could be opened and losed In the minimum of time and was, at the same time, suitable to accommodate the traffic conditions. The river Is bridged by one enor mous span, about 360 feet long, which. Standing on end. Is as high us ii 1' story building and weighs npproxl niately 8,800 tons. One end Is station ary, the other Is raised and lowered by electric power only 1 minutes being required to open or close the spnn. The bridge Is single span, carries n double track, successfully meets the peculiar requirements Imposed upon It and cost upward of SfsOOOOO. MONEY ASKED FOR WESTERN PROJECTS Washington. D. C.
