Plans, characterized by G. N. Ravlin. bo with Leslie Butler represented Hood River at the conference, as being the eclipse of any former good roads movement in the atate ' of Oregon, whereby the Oregon State Highway Commission, the United Statea Foreat- 7. UeDartment and the United States ar Department, will undertake the construction of roads on an immense scale, were revealed at a meeting of the Highway Commission in Salem Monday. And as a result of action taken at the Salem meeting, construc tion work on the completion of the Co lumbia river highway unit between this city and the Multnomah county line and on the aection of the Loop highwax between the Homer A. Rog ers' Mount Hood Lodge and the old Barlow road, involving the probable expenditure of $381,000, may bo under way by the first of September. illation over gratifying events has never before been so keenly felt in Hood River 'as has been evidenced by representative business men in their expressions on learning news from the state Highway Commission. At an impromptu meeting held last Thursday evening at the Commercial Club, when good roads enthusiasts con ferred with Amos S. Benson and J. B. Yeon, of Portland, as to possible plans for securing an appropriation from the State Highway Commission for the elimination of the Ruthton hill grade just west of town, it was decided to send Mr. Ravlin and Mr. Butler to Sa lem Monday to ask that an appropria tion, set aside for expenditure on the east extension of the Colombia river highway, between here and Mosier. be diverted to the road work in this coun ty. The state aid appropriation, orig inaly amounting to $45,000, but which had been decreased to an approximate $40,000 by the diverting of funds for surveys in other sections of the state, was made with the provision that Was co county, in order to obtain the bene fits, would vote bonds for road im provement. The local men, in asking for the money, were prepared to pre sent the argument that the citizens of the neighboring county had postponed their vote on the proposed bond issue until the general election in November, and that after that date it would be too late to accomplish much with the fund at hand this year. We had gone to baiem. aays Mr. Ravlin, "with some hope of getting at least a portion of that $40,000. The results of the real accomplishments of the meeting are ao big that 1 acarcely know where to begin to tell you of all that happened." The events transpiring Monday came as a climax of efforts on the part of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and representatives of the United States Forestry Department during the past year. Last autumn the proposed Loop highway, to be made possible by the opening of the road up the East Fork of Hood river and extending to the old Barlow road, thus connecting the Columbia river highway with the route leading out from Portland to the south side of Mount Hood, received its first material stimulus when a party of Chamber ot Commerce reDresentaties. Forestry officials and local good roads men, made a tour of investigation on muleback and hosreback. Since that time, as was evidenced Monday, the Chamber of commerce and the forest ry Department have been carrying on a silent but ceaseless campagin, look ing to the ultimate construction of the roads. "We of Hood River want to extend unstinted thanks to Portland men for their aid Monday." says Mr. Ravlin. "Without their backing we would never have gained the least headway Amos S. Benson, by arranging for the Portland delegation, carried the plans through to success. When the names of S. Benson Amos S. Benson and John B.Yeen.all of whom were present, were mentioned, and it was stated that they were favorable to the plana as outlined and put into effect. Thomas B. Kay, mem ber of the Highway Commission, said 'I consider that you three men have done more for highways in Oregon than all the reBt ot us in the state combined, and your approval is enough to win mv favor for the plan. Other men present at the conference were: E. E. Coovert. Geo. Joseph, ,'egal adviser of the Chamber of Com merce: Jacob Kanzier, cnairman oi the Civic Committee of the Chamber of Commerce : T. H. Sherrard, state forest supervisor, and b. J. fincn, senior road engineer in department of roads for forestry service. The members oi the forestry ier vice in the oast year's time have com pleted surveys, made investigations and prepared arguments in anticipation of Monday's meeting. In fact, all necessary steos bad been taken, ana a .brief of their plans were already en mute to Washington. The plans of the proposed Loop ra4. of which the Columbia river hip-bnav will form the north boundary it is arid, will take precedence over all others for improvement of forestry maris..

It meana that in all Drobabilitv $166,000 will had for completion of the Columbi liver highway in Hood .River county almost immediately. The first points of attack will be Kothton hill grade, just west of Hood River, and Eden hill at Viento. The aurveys of the exten sion of the Columbia river highway at these points have already been made by Engineer J. A. Elliott, working un der the State Highway Commission. United Statea Road Engineer Finch has asked State Highway Engineer Lewis to assign Mr. Elliott to the Kutbton snd Eden hills construction, because of his familiarity with the topograhy of the country. Mr. Elliott had charge of the construction or the Mitchells Point tunnel. The application of the State High way Commission, signed by Governor Withycombe and with the approval of ttorney General Brown.waa mailed to Washington Tuesday. The opinion is expressed by the Portland men and the forestry officials thst they should be spproved and returned here within three weeks. It is proposed to adver tise, in the meantime, for bids on the work, and be prepared to let the eon tracts by the time of the receipt of the duly approved application for the fed eral fnnd." The Oregon national forests, accord ing to Mr. Ravlin. have available the sum of $225,000 to be expended on roads within national forests. This full amount will be used on the Loop high way. The Forestry Service will take immediate charge and start operations near Mount Hood Lodge. While the Columbia river highway will be graded and paved a full 24 feet wide, when complete, on a maximum grade of Ave per cent, the road in the national forest will be 20 feet wide with the grade in no place exceeding four per cent. ine oner that has been prepared bv the Portland Chamber of Commerce and Forestry Department, signed by Gov. ernor Withycombe and the other mem bers of the state Highway Commission and that has been sent to the United Stated Department of Agriculture and President Wilson contains the following data, showing final cost of respective units, when graded and paved: Mult nomah county line to Hood River. $230,000; Hood River to Mount Hood Lodge, $250,000; Mount Hood Lodge to intersection of Barlow road, $90,000; from thence to Multnomah county line. $115,000. "It ia shown." Bays Mr. Ravlin. 'that the citizens and officials of Mult nomah county will take care of the construction of their portion of the road. They have expressed the will ingness to turn to Hood River county any aid that may come to them for building of the Loop highway. In the course of the meeting. Mr. Ravlin states. Engineer Finch explain ed to the State Highway Commission and those present the complete plan of the government to assist in construc tion of roada through Oregon, connect ing with the Lincoln highway at On tario. This main transcontinental line, extending through Idaho and giving access to the National parks will pass through Ontario and thence to Vale and the Dalles. Mr. f inch further showed that the United States War Depart ment was contemplating the construe tion of a military road, beginning at Astoria and proceeding south through Oregon and California to San tran CISCO. "In the course of his talk," aaya Mr. Ravlin, "Mr. Finch stated that the route would extend along the Pacific the entire distance and, Bince it would be open to traffic the entire year, would form the most popular scenic route between Oregon and California." It takes some deliberation," con tinues Mr. Ravlin, "for us in Hood River to realize the immensity of these plans and to grasp comprehensively how fortunately we are situated. But we must not lay down and consider that everything has already been accom pushed, we must keep on at work and by every available means show our in terest." Judge Stanton was in Salem also Monday to make a plea for aid at Ruth ton hill. Judge Stanton addressed the Commission, however, and returned to Portland before the ultimate and con elusive deliberation was entered upon.

The Granger nd bis family can take a greater per sonal interest because of a kind of proprietorship in the event. lbe Grangers of Hood Kiver are to be congratulated on formulating the encampment plans. The event has not yet transpired, but from the bustle of public spirited citizens, valley hustlers, the feeling of anticipation that ia lready in the air, one will make no mistake in predicting that the encamp ment is going to be successful. The Glacier makes the prediction that in future yeara Grange encampmenta will become annual events that will be heralded far and near throughout the Northwest. The approaching encampment not only offers the rancher means of an outing but he will be privileged to come closer in contact with bia fellow orchardists from - other communities.
