Another theory has been advanced
in connection with activities at White

Coast is seeking a passage through the
Cascades to the Sound, via the Old
Columbia gorge, which offers a route
through the mountains with rise of
but 400 feet. 1t has been announced
by Strahorn, however, that the sur

disputed any knowledge of the Pitts
