East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-07

The route of the Colum bia river
h ghway in Hood River and Sherman
counties was definitely located b.
the commission at the recent meeting
The route chosen in Hood River
county is what is known as the river
location instead Of the Maxeltown
hill road. The latter, while affording
view of Hood River valley is five
miles longer thar the river route The
estimated cost of construction of the
two routes IS about equal. approxi-
mately 100000. The shorter route
was chosen on account Of the saving
in paving cost
In Sherman county it has been de-
.ided that the highway shall run by
way of sherman. Wasco and MacDon-
oid's ferry to Arlington on condition
that a bridge is erected by the county
AT MacDonold's ferry.
Paving in WaSCo Proposed.
This route is approximately nine
mi es longer than the one proposed
along the river, but it will be cheaper
to construct and maintain. Another
urged in it's favor is that
ii traverses the populated section of !
the county and passed through wheat |
fields.
In Wasco county the commission
decided not to accept the seven-mile .
hill road between Mosier and The
Dalles as a section OF the state high
way, in view of the fact that ii may
be determined in the near future to
construct a highway along the river
between the two points The com
mission has agreed, however. to pave
he road between Cnenoweth creek
md The Dalles, distance of two I
niles. and also a four mile stretch on
he east between The Dalles and Pc !
ersburg. on condition that the coun- 5
les Of Wasco and sherman take steps
q eliminate the present toll bridge ;
cross the DesChutes river ana erect l
free structure {

The Prohibition Situation

The House of Representatives passed its food administration
legislation with amendments forbddng the of foodstu
the manufacture of alcoholic beverages The
mittee agriculture reported the house bill favorably with
modification permitting the president to permit the
facure of wine The bill thus amended is under dis
cussion in the senate.
The advocates of beer and in the declared
their intention defeat these prohibition failures of the bill
if il is hlbnster all summer The president
realizing the lack of patriotism of the liquor interests
and their disregard of the welfare of the nation has
appealed prohibition forces of the country

will proracted debate from The pending measure
The president has not declared himself be in favor the

The Anti Saloon league insists that the of three mil

liquor should be prohibited in furnish more food for
people and for allies and that the food conservation
vote promptly upon that question But in view of the state
ment OF the president that there will be proraced debate
upon the question: and the knowledge of the unparoc threats
of the vets the AntSaoon league declared that will
