Bend to Eastern at a point, almost di rectly east of Seattle crosses the mountains at a summit elevation 1,100 feet lower than the next best pass, and by being continued in a northeast direction across the Wenatchee river to Waterville could very easily be extended eastward to Spokane and thence to the Idaho line. Commissioner Snow stated that the road across the Cascades is the most important trans-mountain road now under construction.

The maximum grade on the eastern side of the Cascades will be 5 per cent, and on the west slope 7 per cent, whereas the grades on the road in use at the present are from 15 to 20 per cent. Furthermore no portion of the road will be subject to snowslides, and It can be traveled at all seasons of the year either by wheeled vehicles or sleighs. In describing the present condition of the state highways. Snow said in part: "State roads being located in the sparsely settled and mountainous districts, are built entirely at the expense of the state. Of this class of roads we have at the present time thirteen, twelve of which were definitely described and established by the last legislature: The roads that are of special interest to our farmers are: "State road No.

3, which begins at a point thirteen miles north of Leavenworth in the country road in Chelan county, extends northwesterly up the Chiwawa creek to the summit of the Cascades at Buck Creek pass; thencs descending the western slope of the Cascades along Suiattle creek to the Sauk river in Skagit county, where i. intersects the county road. The probable cost of opening the entire road is estimated at $250,000. "State road No. 7, otherwise known as the Snoqualmie Pass road, beginning at North Bend in King county and extending across the Cascade summit to Easton in Kittitas county, is the most important transmountair.

road now under construction. Surveys on the eastern slope of the Cascades were completed a year ago. The county commissioners of King county refused to take up the matter of the survey on the west side of the mountains under the former law, and it was only late in the season this year that the highway board was able to reach this work. The cost of completing this road, including bridges, will approximate $200,000. "State road No.

10, beginning at wtu town of Wenatchee, extends northerly along the Columbia river through thd town of Chelan, crossing the Methow at its mouth and extending northerly to amd along the valley of the Okanogan to Tonasket in Okanogan county, where it swings northeasterly, passing through Chesaw, reaching the British line at a point about one-quarter miles from the station of Myncaster on the Washington Great Northern railway. Forty-eight miles of this road were built by a commission appointed under the laws of 1897, and have been is use for nearly ten years. The greater portion of the remaining 110 miles is along and over existing roads, which are in fairly good condition The estimated cost of repairing and building new stretches of road, and the bridges mentioned, will be about $100,000, the total length of the road being 158 miles." Most all of the pictures of the scenes appearing in this number were taken with a camera purchased from C. W. Parker 11l Columbia Seattle.
