velt Highway; The seven great
coast counties comprising one-seventh
OF the area Of THE State are just as
enthusiastically working to develop
the irrigation projects of the East
Oregonians.
An apt illustration Of the friendly
spirit that Is animating the coast
counties is a rally held at Gardiner
on the Umpqua river recently when
settlers came by the hundreds to boost
for the Roosevelt highway bond issue.
Some OF those in attendance came
from points miles distant in boats.
More than a thousand gathered at
Gardiner to hear President S. c. Pier
of the Roosevelt Highway Association
explain the wonderful possibilities that
will be opened up by what he declared
will be the greatest scenic boulevard
in the world.
The assemblage not only endorsed
the highway project, but it went on
record win a unanimous resolution
favoring the passage of the Gallagher
bill whereby the State is given authori-
ty to lend its credit to irrigation pro-
jects approved by special commits

tendent Of Banks, the State Engineer
and the Attorney General.

will bring millions of tourists to Ore

the unparalleled scenery offered by
the highway, but they will seek op-

great stretches OF land in the irriga.

chance for investments. The people
OF Eastern Oregon and other se-:i'".
that are looking to their future de-

too well aware that anything they
can do to insure the construction of
the coast highway will be therefore
greatly TO their own interest. For
this reason they have been glad to get
behind the highway movement.
