NEUBERGER A few year ago If the people of uregon wanted to glimpse me iarg it evidence of man 'a Ingenuity, an extensive journey was necessary. They had to span the hemisphere to Egypt to view the great pyramid or uiten. Now. this mission can be acconv pllshed In much simpler and less expensive rasmon. ah mat is quired is a 861-mile automobile drive from Portland. The change In traveling distance is not because the great pyramid has been magically transported to the Pacific north west, but because the great pyramid is no longer the largest man-made object on earth. It has been super aeded by Grand Coulee dam. Grand Coulee is tremendous. It challenges verbal description. It Is like some relic or the massive and thundering Ice age that still sur vives In an era of smaller and lesser creations. The only way to under stand Its unbelievable proportions Is to point your automobile north eastward and drive tne wi miles necessary to see it for yourself. On the way to Grand Coulee you will pass Bonneville dam, as did the white mo tor log car of The Orego nlan and the Oregon Stats Motor association. Perhaps your reaction will be the same as that of Harris Ellsworth, publisher of the Rose burg News-Review. En route up the Columbia along the Washington bank of the river, he looked at Bon neville. "By gosh!" he said, "that's some project Just get a look at those piers and penstocks." Later, Passing Remark Two days later the mo tori og ear came back past Bonneville, headed down the river this time. In the Interim Ellsworth had seen Grand Coulee. He viewed Bonneville with out comment for several moments. Then he turned to an astonished government guard standing nearby. "Nice cute little dam you have here," . he blithely remarked. "Do the boys take It down at night, or do they work on it all the time?" There Is but one method of ap predating the slxe of Grand Coulee see It for yourself. However, a few comparisons with Bonneville may be of Interest Bonneville will be 170 feet high. Grand Coulee 600 feet Bonneville will be ISO feet thick, Grand Coulee 550 feet Bonneville will be 1800 feet long, Grand Coulee 4300 feet To reach this monumental edifice, you drive via U. S. 830 up the Colum bia gorge from Vancouver to Gold endale. Then on U. 8. 97 to Ellens burg, going through Toppenlsh and Yakima. This consumes about 240 of the miles between Portland and Grand Coulee. From EHensburg, which Is near the center of the state of Washington, you point your radi ator cap directly east to Vantage, wher the highway spans the Co lumbia on a spectacular bridge. Then you head northward to Qulncy. It Is on this stretch that the motorist for the first time appre ciates the bigness and Immensity of the region Into which he Is driv ing. The canyon walls of the Co lumbia become more precipitous. Weird and towering rock forma tions flank the highway. Lofty hills roll away to the horizon like the folds of some monstrous blanket: Occasional farmhouses are dots against the background of wilder-1 ness grandeur. Here and there are the ruins of dry-farming experi ments that failed mute and tragic reminders of the great irrigation project that lies ahead. First Sight of Coulee You drive almost due north, go through the mineral-springe health resort of Soap lake, and there, visible from the center of town, Is the opening of one of the remark able geological phenomena of all time the Grand Coulee of the Co lumbia river. It is like the entrance of a huge trough not a trough dug by men with steam shovels and dy namite, but a trough gouged by some supernatural power transcend ing all the efforts of all the men who ever lived. Through this vast declevlty the road goes. You drive up It with mingled awe and wonder. On either side the cliffs are as sharp-brlnked as shoe-box edges, A mammoth chisel could not have carved them stralghter. The bottom of the coulee Is flat and dotted with an occa sional rock formation or lake. At the end of this boxlike chasm, the road circles up a sharp cliff and you discover yourself In an-: other coulee the exact replica of the first. A 400-foot precipice as straight as the front of a safe separates the upper and lower coulee. Wheeling your automobile up the epulee. a trough effect is notedI r rmrm : . . .. . vapv ,'-: .-.

The river pours through the granite gorge with the speed and fury of a thou sand locomotives in a thousand tunnels. The granite walls and basalt formations dip down to the stream and stand against the sky line, survivors of the great Ice-sheet of the Pleistocene Epoch, when glaciers from the arctic carved the upland plateau that dominates east ern Washington. ! You can get a hotel room with bath In Mason City for $2.00. The hotel Is a hastily built structure, because It will be torn down after the dam is finished. But it Is com fortable and roomy. Not a chimney I pokes through Its roof. Electricity I best bet for victuals, Information Service Good The department of the interior, through the reclamation bureau. has made excellent arrangements for providing information for peo ple who visit the project A view tower and grandstand (both free) look down on the dam, and a loud speaker public-address system car ries the announcers explanation to persons within several hundred feet There Is a supply available of pamphlets that are clearly written and explain the purpose of the en terprise without Indulging In long words and effulgent phraseology.

UKAXISiT hFHUV J )f PORTLA.NO " Oktuas Map thowi route to Grand Coulee dam from Oregon They are O. G. P. Markhui, the engineer In charge of public re lations, and S. E. Hutton, the di rector of publicity. Markhus Is a whimsical, bald Scotchman who wears a cap and smokes a pipe. Hutton has a little goatee and looks like the late Lincoln Steffens. They are quiet, philosophic individuals, who love to amplify Grand Coulee to bewildered persons who cannot understand just why the federal government Is spending more money in eastern Washington than it cost to build the Panama canal. Briefly, here Is the why of Grand Coulee: The Columbia basin project is a chunk of potentiality fertile land twice as large as Rhode Island. To bear In abundance all the crops native to the northwest all It needs is water. Water it can get If the Columbia Is diverted back into the coulee, and thence run from the coulee through irrigation canals to the Columbia basin project. This can be accomplished by throwing the world's largest chunk of mason ry across the river at the head of the coulee, and generating enough power to put the water back where it flowed thousands of vears azo. Thus, Grand Coulee dam. Roads Over Project There are automobile roads all over the various parts of the proj ect, and the bureau of reclamation Is co-operative In enabling tourista to drive to the various points of in terest Blasts are set off at specified times each day, and thus motorists know exactly when to be on hand for the most spectncular feature of the construction work. As you come back, everything seems smaller than when you went up. Bonneville dam was not the only object that Impressed Harris Ells- ! worth as being smaller after he had seen Grand Coulee. Even the cliffs flanking the river looked less mas sive than the great granite walls and j bluffs near the biggest man-made edifice on earth. Grand Coulee is ! the Colossus of Rhodes among the ! dams of the world, and everything iooks less significant and or less pro portions after the ultimate has been seen.
