ROAD ORDERED SURVEYED
office of Public Roads Ordered ;.
Locate Highway from Missoula.

The first step tending towards the
construction of the Lolo pass highway,
which will connect Missoula with the
Columbia roads and shorten the auto
mobile route to the coast by several
hundred mileS was taken yesterday
when the offices of public roads receiv-
ed orders from the office of engineer
ing of the forest service to make a re-
connaisance survey of the Lolo pass pro.
ject.
The Idaho state highway commission
has agreed to pay half of the cost of the
survey, which is being made in order
to obtain an estimate of the approx
mate cost construction of the highway.
The Lolo pass highway will extend from
Lolo pass, on the ,MontanaIdah line
near Lolo Hot Springs to Kooskia,
Idaho a distance of III miles. While
it is expected that definite location
of the highway will be secured this
summer construction work will not com
mence until next year. The government
will pay half of the cost of construc-
ton, while the counties through which
the roads is to pass, and the state of
Idaho, will furnish the balance of the
construction costs.
The new road will not only be u
connecting link between the Columbia
highway and the Yellowstone trail and
the National Park highway, but will
also open up new territory of great
agricultural and numbering possibilities.
The military necessity of a road
through the Lolo pass has long been
recognized according to experts. At
present there is a military road ex-
tending through the section, which how
ever is closed to traffic on account of
heavy snow in the mountains for several
months every year.
There are many large stands of timber
in the territory to be tapped by the
highway, but logging operations have
been severly hampered by the lack of
roads. There is a great deal of timber
suitable for pulp in the district, accord
ing to forestry officials which will be
made available by the building of a
highway.
The Kooskia country is especially
suited to the production of expert
fruits and vegetables, according to ex
pert farmers, and the building of 9
highway will furnish a market for al
this produce.-Daily Muscular.
