ADDITIONAL HIGHWAY
CONTRACTS EXPECTED

Contractor Powell, who is now en-
gagged in grading the 5-mile Booth Hill
unit of the valley trunk of the Mt.
Hood Loop Highway in this county,
has made considerable showing on the
heavy cuts and fills that will charac.
terize this stretch of new road, which
will eliminate the old Booth Hill
grade, one of the bugaboos of winter
travel beween the Upper and Lower
Valleys. Mr.. PowelPs time limit on
the grading work will expire MAY 81
next year. 1t is expected that he will
add to his crews early next spring and
hasten completion of the grading, in
order that the work of surfacing the
new grade with gravel OF erdshed-rock
may be FASTENED. Local officials are
urging that the new road be made
available for apple hauling by next
September.
The State Highway Commission has
definitely announced that contract
for grading the valley trunk from
Booth Hill south to the border of the
Oregon National Forest will be let at
the next meeting of the body. Here
Saturday, j. b. Yeon, member of the
stated that the next meet
ing of the Highway Commission will
be held in Portland December Is.
While no official announcement has
been made, county officials here have
been given to understand that the com
mission will also let contract for the
north end of the valley trunk at the
December meeting. While the latter
unit is the shortest of the three. it
will be the most expensive, as the
grading will be largely through almost
solid rock along the Hood river gorge.

modern factories on scientific princi-
pies. The alcohol of hard cider, con-
verted into ascetic acid, is what makes
the vinegar. The conversion takes
place, fast or slow, proportionate to
the surface of the mass of LIQUID ex-
posed to the air. Therefore, in order
to hasten vinegar making factories are
equipped with generators, huge tanks
filled with beech shavings. The cider
trickles through these. thin film COW

sweet cider can be turned into hard
and then into vinegar in remarkably
short time. The vinegar is then filtered
and aged in wooden tanks. 1t is ship
