TRUNK ROAD GOES NEAR PARKDALE 11. H. Scott, in charge of a party of engineers engaged in laying out a tent atwe route for the proposed Hood Riv er county trunk highway. that will con ne t the Columbia Highway with the end of the Mount Mood Loop road at the na lonal forest border, has passed 1'8 'kdale in his progress toward the nn th. Mr. Scott s survey will pass cl je:to t'arkuale, the line as now laid ou striking within a quarter of a mile of the Upper Valley railway terminus, rom the Upper Valley to Hood Riv er two different routes will be sur veyed, a final choice probably resting with contour of country, orchard acre' age served and the cost of construction ai d maintenance. MANY ATTEND THE STOCK SHOW Headed by W. M. Black and Prof. R V. Wright, more than twenty Hood R:ver orchardist stockmen went to Portland this week to attend the live stock, dairyjproducts and horse show. The creamery Bent an exhibitof its butter. Mr. Wright was accompanied by members of his agricultural classes. CORNELIUS SUGGESTS . TOURIST HOTEL While no definite plans have been made, agitation has been started here by C. G. Cornelius that may If ad to tie construction of a large tourist ho tel. "I have been considering the matter eriously for tome time, ' say Mr. Cornelius, "and Saturday I discussed the nutter with numerou business men. 1 find that most of them were ready to subscribe liberally to such 'a; venture. Indeed, it seems that manv ; business men have been thinking of, the need in Hood River for a large ho- ! tel. Hoed River needs something like the Pilot Butte Inn in Bend. We have native stone right here for construe - tion. It is a matter that should result iiiuii luvm eitierpriac anu progress. , The tourist business has not been j touched in the Hood River valley. We i have seen how numerous has been our Hood K,ver mp'y must have a great i hotel that will become known to the I entire country. We can duplicate, if e wil1 iust K about the success of the Mission Inn at Riverside. "In years to come Hood River is go ing to be the hub of mid-Columbia Cascade scenic activities. All roads are going to lead to Hood River. One of the lines of rail now leading up the Deschutes to Bend will eventually be torn up to make way for The Dalles California highway. It will be an all winter road. The government is foa tering the Park to-Park highway. Hood River will be as prominent on the great road as is anv one of the na tional parks. We simply must pre pare." BIG ROADS PLAN HAS BEEN OUTLINED Cooperation of other western states with Oregon will be sought in an effort to attract the attention of congress to the need for an appropriation for na tional forest roads totaling $75. 000,01 Hi or more, UeciuoU the Mount ltoo.1 l.oou Road association at a meeting held in I'ortlai.d lat week. Through such an appropriation only could sufficient money be made available for comple tion of 37.2 miles of the proposed loou road lying in the national forest, it i. believed. On a committee which will appear before the state chamber of commerce and urge a conference with other western states, so that concerted ac tion nay be taken in demanding of congress additional funds for roads in national forests, were appointed Julius L. Meier, chairman. Portland: W. 1.. i'humpson, Portland; Rufus C. Holman, chairman of the loop association, Port land ; Leslie Butler. Hood River, and H S. Anderson. Oregon City. Com missioner Hannum was present for the tneetii g. 1 he appeal to congress would be made for general distribution of an ap propriation throughout the western states, in proportion to the length of state and county roads within national forests and also in proportion to the area of the lands that have been with drawn from taxation by the national government. No si c? al reference would be made to the loop project. though the appropriation secured would take care of it; Hard surfacing of the entire road about Mount Hood is a thing of the dim future, even thould the apprecia tion sought go through congress. At least JWlll.DM.Sy more than now avail able will be needed for grading alone of the 37 miles through the national forest. Fourteen miles from the Zig- Zag entrance to the forest are being graded, unier contra, t, for an expen diture of $2(14. 5(K). The remainder in government funds available for grad ing the Zi miles remaining is J'J4!l,r(KI. The estimated cost of this grading is placed at $7.r9.4i)4.M. leading the re quirement of $509,99.89 to construct even a dirt road. HIGHWAY STRETCHES BEING SURFACED Except for a small bit of rock work and a little cleaning up, Contractor Kibbee has completed grading the stretch of Columbia Highway between here and Ruthton hill. Preparations are being made for a surfacing of crushed rock. Crews are nearing completion of grading on the six mile stretch of Highway between here and Mosier. Both of the tunnels are completed. Nine'big motor trucks are busy haul ing gravel, giving the rough, new grade surfacing that will pack into an excellent road by spring, it is said. A team shovel, used in the Hood River Ruthton link of road, has been moved to a gravel pit uncovered in excavat ing for one of the four loops by which the new highway ascends from the city level lo the range of mountains east of here. The trucks are loaded with the big shovel. The Hood River-Mosier stretch of the road will be open before January 1. BRIDGE AT CASCADES A bill giving consent of congress to the Interstate Construction Company to build a bridge across the Columbia riv.;r near Cascade Locks, by which to connect the Evergreen highway with the Columbia Highway, has been intro duced in congress by Senator Jones. The bill also grants a license to build approaches on the Oregon side through a small strip of ground owned by the government. The bridge is to be a single span structure. It is thought that this calls for the location of the one span bridge at the lower end of the government locks where the river is narrow and where piers can easily be constructed. City Considers Street Improvement The city council in session Monday night spent the evening chiefly in ten tative discussion of street improve ment for the coming year. The city administration plans on engaging in additional street improvement each year, allowing no season to iap With out bringing about a marked better ment in city thoroughfares. The first work on next year's pro gram will be the grading and hardsur facing of a stretch of Oak street, which intersects the Columbia High way obliquely at the west edge of town. Oak street leads directly through the heart of the city, while Cascade avenue, known as the city extension of the Highway agei. serves hotel and gar- FIREMEN ARE TO GIVE BAIL !
