historian tells us that when the allied
forces arrived at Pehtang they saw
before them two small forts. Not a
soldier was visible in or near them.
Day was declining and the allies,
though fearing an ambush, decided to
venture into the forts. They found
on the ramparts two or three wooden
guns encircled with iron, and these
had been abandoned by the defend

struction had been laid around them,
and were removed by the French en-

LOOP APPROPRIATION
FURTHER EXPLAINED
(Fr0m the Oregonian)

1t is remarked by the Eugene Regis
ter that application of government
funds to construction of the Mount
Hood Loop would be crime against
Oregon; that the state must nut up
dollar for dollar of government..money I:
that the crying need is for general
utility roads.
The statements clearly are founded
on lack of understanding of the new
federal road law, and it therefore seems
proper again to call attention to its
provisions.
The money for the Mount. Hood loop
would come from an appropriation
available only for roads within national
forests. The law does not require the
state to match federal appropriations
for that purpose. Nor is the money
appropriated for forest roads available
for market roads or any other roads
outside Of the national forests.
The same law contains another sec
tion providing for government aid for
roads not within the national forests,
which must be matched with state ap-
preparations. 1t is not our understand.
ing that application for the latter al
lotment coutemplates use OF it on the
Mount Hood loop.
! IL there is any question at all about
the Mount Hood loop, it pertains to
comparison of its advantages with
those of other roads within the national
forests, and not as to comparison Of its
uses with those of market roads or other
highways within settled districts.

standardized highways connecting our
main centers. and confined to low ele-
vations, and as far as practicable, on
water grades? The construction of this
link would enable motor driven trucks
of armament, supplies, and troops. to
be rushed through-not over-the Cas-
cades, with two water level highways
at their service. For this reason alone
our government should, and doubtless
will, authorize its construction across
the Indian reservation.
The unconstructed portion of this
highway largely consists of some SO
miles which lie in the Yakima Indian
reservation. This must necessarily be
sanctioned and constructed by the gov
ernment. The matter is in the hands
of our representatives at Washington
and it is expected favorable action will
be taken. Yakima county commission
ers have ordered preliminary survey
made at once. Those of Klickitat
county, lying south of the resery alton,
will construct such section as may lie
in their county.
The following data was furnished the
Yakima Commercial Club, bearing on
the proposed highway route across the
reservation. Mr.. Marble said:
''The most favorable route is from
North Yakima to Wapato (close 10
Yakima). thence south to Toppenish
road, thence vest to White Swan.
Leaving the Toppenish road there, the
route Is up Toppenish creek, and the
divide between Toppensh creek and
the Klickitat river at Parrott bridge.
connecting with the Klickitat road at
GIenwood. Total distance from North
Yakima to Glenwood, sc miles.
"The only grade to be made is up
Toppenish creek, where. in a distance
of six miles, an ascent of 1000 feet is
made. Road from top of the divide for
ten miles is comparatively level. Sum-
init has an elevation of 1880 feet, and
in 10 miles grade drops only 100 feet.
Road is through open timber, and will
be easily constructed.
He estimates the cost for six miles

view points of Mount Adams. Passing
close to Fort Simcoe and White Swan
via Wapato comes North Yakima, where
is found one of the cleanest and best
paved cities in the Northwest.
That this highway will be toured by
thousands of tourists every season, and
bring many to the Columbia river high
way and Portland who otherwise would
not visit this section, is certain, but of
greater benefit will be the opportunity
provided our own people for frequent
personal interchange of commercial
visits, and knowledge of the many de-
lightful scenic spots our own North
west offers to the lover of nature.
During the open season it is now Gus
tomary for the northwestern CONNER
cial traveller to tour his district by
auto, enabling him to make several
towns a day instead of but one or two
when train service is depended upon.
The banker, merchant or professional
man can combine a pleasant outing
with a personal call on his customers,
thus creating good feeling all around
and gathering first hand information
for future use in extending his busi-
ness.
The foothills and lower slopes of
Mount Adams, in the United States
forest reserve, are leased for grazing
purposes. The season of 1915 saw co.
600 head of sheep on this range. A
number of camps are established and
supplies for many of them now have to
be packed for many miles. The con-
struction of this highway will be of
great benefit to this industry, not alone
from the supply end. but getting in and
out their stock. An increased lease
revenue would doubtless result and the
sheep men are ready to do their part
financially to aid its construction.
