WORK ON GRADING
PROGRESSING SLOWLY

A. r. Cruikshank. who has charge,
for the state highway department, Of
grading the two mile stretch of the
Highway between the city and Ruthton
hill, says that crews have encountered
some Of the most difficult excavation
ever found in the state.
The formation seems 10 be lava ash
that has been cemented through pro-
cess of nature. 1t would be great
discovery if We could duplicate the
formation in road building. The stuff
is of the consistency Of hard rubber.
1t has no grain, and it is certainly
hard to handle. Blasting has little
effect on it. and it is impossible for a
steam shovel. 1t means that the exca'
walton must be mostly hand work.
Naturally the work has been slowed
up. and it will be another month likely
before the short grade. on which work
was begun two months ago. will be
completed"
Mr.. Cruikshank states that the new
grade will be given rock surface as
soon as grading crews are through
work.
