Maupin We Strive The Highway (contributed) Another stretch of The Dalles- California highway was begun last week by Mr. Doty, his son, and three other men, contractors It runs for a mile, beginning at the top of the White river grade, or the Maupin Ferry road as it was called long ago. The pres ent grade almost parallels the old one, whicb was established by some of the first settlers of the country, and so -far as any one can now remember, was the first grade south of the White river canyon. But the road now building is at a lower level, with a far more uniform rise, and will be much longer than the old grade, which has long since been discarded. Much of the new roadbed is finished, waiting for the surfac ing, though there are several fills to be put in before one could drive over it. The stock pass that leads from ths hillside pas ture to the spring above the Tige Morgensen house (which is on the old Baskett ranch) is nearly finished- Stakes are be-, ing given through the right-of- way across the Flat, and our part of The Dalles-California highway seems a fact of the near future. The new road-bed from White river bridge to Tygh is now be ing used its full length, and though rough, gives promise of better things before long. Good looking fences are going to be the rule, at least along the highway. Orange Brittain and Raymond Doering are rebuilding' the Mays fence, and Joe-and Cecil Chastain and Mr. Shearer are resetting the lines on their" respective ranches, thef latter hauling posts from the moun tains and rushed to keep ahead of the road work. Others will begin work in a few daym. ,Now if an epidemic of new houses should hit the. country, HARD well would't this be a lovely country to live in? PPLES put them in storage.
