P.) —Completion soon of the Columbia river highway between Astoria and Pendleton, Ore., is forecast by the state highway commission which in a statement reviewing the work says the grading of this highway repre sents what is probably the most dif ficult and costly piece of highway construction yet undertaken in Am erica. For many miles it was necessary to construct the road bed upon the rugged and almost perpendicular wall of the Columbia river gorge, ne cessitating that the highway be lit erally carved out of- the solid rock. At the close of the 1920 season there was fully completed on the Colombia river highway 178.7 miles of pavement and 123.S miles of broken stone and gravel surfacing. All this pavement is 16 feet or more in width, with an additional four feet of broken stone shoulders, To complete the highway there re- mains to be done only four miles of grading, 2.5 miles of broken stone and gravel surfacing and 25.3 miles of paving. Completion of the grad ing within a few weeks is predicted. Getting Acid From Phosphate Rock TP5- state is keepftig teams on this hill, daily from 8 a. m. to 9:30 p. m. to render assistance when needed and without charge: the teams will be kept there as long as the conditions require. The macadam that was laid on the north side of Smith Hill last fall, is holding up well, and between the summit of Smith Hill and as far north as Roseburg and beyond, chains are not needed.—Medford Sun.
