ELLIOTT ANNOUNCES
EARLY LOOP FINISH

By the middle Of next summer the
Mount Hood Loop road will be pass
able for motorists the entire distance
from Portland up the Sandy river and
thence by the Barlow road around the
East Side of the mountain to the Hood
River valley and back over the Column
bia River Highway. Such was the in
| formation given last week by j. A.
Elliott. chief engineer for the Bureau
of Public Roads of the Northwestern
Department, including Alaska, who
had lust returned from a tour of in
spection of the Hood River end of the
23-mile link of the highway in the
Oregon National Forest.
MIR. Elliott, who has supervision of
forestry road work that will cost an
aggregate of about SIS, 600, 600 this
wear. declared that he was as enthusi-
astic over the Mount Hood Loop as any
of the many roads under his supervi-
sion. He declared that IL would add
new wonders to Oregon scenery al
ready available to the motorist. Mr..
Elliott, who was stationed here in 1915
in charge of construction of Mitchells
Point tunnel, said:
''The people of Hood River ought to
greet with iubilation announcements
of the Bureau of Public Roads in has.
tening the Mount Hood Loop, for the
opening of this scenic thoroughfare
will attract as many people to the val
lev as the Columbia River Highway.
1t will be q new and climactic chapter
in Oregon road building.
"We found that Contractor j. E.
| Clarkson, who last year graded six
| = ka
has a crew of six men on the new
grade engaged in breaking he snow
and in opening bitches. Twenty more
will be dispatched at once from Port
land to make ready for grading the
additional II miles.
Plans call for completion of the
grading this fall, and as soon as the
road is open next year bridges will be
built. Mr.. Elliott says that the most
appealing span of the route will be
concrete arch across small creek,
tributary to the East Fork of Hood
river. The bridge will set just below
beautiful waterfall. The longest
span will be that across the White
river. This bridge will probably be Of
steel construc tion.
While on the tour of inspection Mr..
Elliott, accompanied by WIG. Peters
who will succeed j. e. Andrews as en-
gineer in charge of the work, Mr.. An
drews having been dispatched to
Missoula, Mont, to take charge of a
sub-office, inspected quarries. Two To-
cations for crusher set-ups were chos-
en-. Bids on the rock surfacing of 10
miles of the road will be advertised at
once, Mr.. Elliott stated.
81 was surprised at the way the
snow was melting on the high eleva-
tions," said Mr.. Elliott. "The mid
day temperature the first of the week
was as high as during midsummer. and
one grew uncomfortably hot hiking
over the trails. Warm winds will melt
the snow more rapidly than the sun,
now that the crust has softened.

K0BERG'S 10Th GEN.
TURY GARDEN BUSY

One of the busiest places in the Hood
River valley at the present time is the
Twentieth Century Truck Farm, owned
by j. II. Koberg, pioneer of the valley.
who was an exception to the rule and
followed the development of gardens
instead of fruits. Mr.. Koberg, who
has diked in fertile acres along the
Columbia east of the city. is now en-
ploying n people in his gardens. The
asparagus season is at its height, and
the Twentieth Century, which took the
first award at the Panama-Pacific In
ternational Exposition at San Francisco
in 1915, is forwarding the grass in ton
quantities to Northwestern metropoli-
tan centers. The product always de-
mands a premium in the city markets.
Mr.. Koberg. one of the leaders in the
organization of the Hood River Valley
Anti-Asiatic Association, practices
what he breaches. All of his help are
full blooded Americans. Mr.. Koberg
is not believer in the federal free
seeds, distributed annually by congress
men. He says:
Progressive business men and far
mers are always looking for something
better. 1t is especially so with US
gardeners, who wish to improve our
seed. While we wouldn't give five
cents per pound for Uncle Sans free
seeds, we have just paid at the rate of
$50 per pound for some tomato seed.
We have developed tomato excellent
for our purposes, calling it the Hood
River Special. If we can secure to-
mato that will ripen 10 days or two
weeks earlier and still retain its quail
ity, we will have a gold mine. We
have secured some highly developed
foreign seeds, which we have mixed with
ours this year. These are being dis
tributed among our city garden
friends.
In order to increase an interest
among the vacant lot gardeners, Mr..
KOberg has offered prize of 81. so for
the seasons first ripe tomato grown
from his plants.
