It is .possible th a t th ere is some
point where a crossing could be
m ade th a t would be able to utilize
the adm ittedly b e tte r south a p ­
proach through S herm an county
and still give good service to the
ad m ittedly la rg e r traffic th a t
rises from nearn ess to The Dalles.
T here has been some local dis­
cussion o f the probability th a t the
Fulton canyon site m ig h t be a
good one fo r an in te rs ta te bridge.

It is possible th a t the road could
come to the Columbia riv er high
enough th a t it could cross the
la lroad track and go on across
the river, using M iller’s Island for
a cen ter span.
The south side of the bridge
would n o t need to be expensive
and its north span could be high
enough to cross the railroad track s
and also be high enough to perm it
riv er tran sp o rta tio n of an y type
likely to be used.
A dditional ad vantages o f this
site is th a t connection could be
made w th the W ashington sec­
to r of US-97 on an ea sy grad«.
S teepness of th e M aryhill grade
is one of the given objections to
the B iggs site.
Those who attended the recent
h earings of the US E ngineers
learned th a t th ere is still a possi-
b lity th a t a big dam m ay be
b u ilt a t The Dalles o r ju s t above
th a t town I t is unlikely th a t the
highw ay com m a s ion would w an t
to build a bridge below th a t dam.
I t m ay be posa ble to use such a
dam , if built, as a bridge, a so l­
ution th a t would settle all contro­
versy.
It seems likely from the word-
tog of the report that farther
studies will be made before a fin­
al decision is made. Matters lob e
considered are the duPont de­
velopment near Preeser, as re­
ported, and it seems probable that
consideration win also be given to
the fact that there may soon be a
large irrigated territory in central
Washington that to novr devoted
to wheat and stock.
Development of this area for
agriculture or Industry, wfll give
