When man was just a boy. the basaltic fang since known as "Tooth Rock" stood poised on the edge of the
cliff near where Bonneville now stands. One day the earth twitched her shoulder and the future Tooth
turned a somersault to land bottom-down by the edge of the Columbia far below. When the pioneering
engineers of the Highway Department bumped against Tooth Rock on their way up the river, it gave
them an engineering headache which they cured by gouging a roadway out of the enamel of the Tooth.
That road (shown just above the present highway tunnel) was scenic, but narrow and high up and
not at all straight; all out of kilter with modern traffio conditions! So, in 1936 the Federal Forest Serv
ice got the chore of straightening things out. which it did by boring a cavity (left center) 21 feet high,
26 feet wide and 406 feet long beneath the old road and right through the middle of the Tooth. It was
a $237,500 dental job with an automatic electric lighting plant which starts Itself up at dark, illuminates
the 400 foot cavity, then quits and turns off the juice when daylight comes. The new way may be short
on high, twisting scenery but it gets you from here to there on time and all in one piece.
Plans were also discussed for a

July.
