The bridge across Gate creek
twenty miles west of here is an
other valuable, improvement of
the public highways. This, to
our mind should have been put
in by the county ten years ago,
buc instead, the residents of the
, west side of the county hare
had to build their own roads
largely or have none. They
h;i e some very good roads in
that section and yet their efforts
are so well rewarded that it is
necesbary for them to build their
bridges by local donation.
The interest shown by some of
the Upper Juniper Flat farmers
"in the irrigation project now
opening to realization will be of
wonderful value to this whole
section. A number of them
have . agreed to cut up their
farms into small areas that can
be handled by irrigation and
made to produce immense values
in vegetation, enabling the same

and parallels the famous Columbia
River Highway a daylight ride
