We may begin tb inspect the goods. Some say we can t use it at all, that it is dangerous, but as fat as we are concerned the goods look to'be all wool and a yard wide. The only question is whether it can be made into a useful and servicable pattern or not.

Wc read with considerable pleasure that the elate of- Califor- fornia ia going to bjjild a road to connect the southern end of Fed eral Highway No 97 with state highways in that stale. This will improve the through route from the Canadian to the Mexican line as the completion of the Satus road in Washington made a better connecting link at that end V . It Is expected that these new connecting roads will be includ ed in thfe federal road and eventually make a federal road through the three states of the Pacific coast. When finished according to government specifications this will be one of the best highways in the entire country as is indicated by the type of road that is -built in Sherman county from Demoss to a few miles south of Grass Vai- ^if the entire length of the road is chosen with the intelligence shown when the engineers picked the Sherman county route from the Columbia river to the desert lands to the south it will be the best located road, as far as terrain is concerned, that is possible. Sherman county offered the best route for a north and south road from the Columbia to California east of the Cascades and was there for chosen by the government men who located the highway. We have the easiest grade from the river and have fewer ^can yons to be crossed than on any other route. The road through this county has the best road bed in addition to low percentage grades and is at present traveled by the truck lines that haul from the Portland to the interior points south of us.. The new connecting links will make of this a more popular road than it is at present and brings nearer to realization the dream of Sam Hill of a bridge across the Columbia at Maryhill. When these are completed we will have through our county a great Interna tional Highway, surfaced to federal standards, that will be able to carry military or civilian traffic of any kind. It will have its con necting roads for at KUmath one will be able to branch off for Crater Lake, at Bend one may take the McKenzie highway over the mountains, perhaps the road will be finished through the re- servatinn to connect near Madras sometime in the future, if one . wishes to travel via The Dalles he may take The Dalles-Criterion highway a few miles south of Shaniko or one wishing to visit the r cattle country may take the projected road that will connect at Shaniko for Mitchell. .
