It was constructed from Alberta, Canada, to the Bay region of California, a distance of 1,400 miles. Its cost was some $300 million. It Is the Alberta California natural gas pipeline.

Gas will be flowing through the line from Canada late in the year. A stern wheeler steamboat played a major role long ago in the story of the development ol Centra Oregon transportation and tile coming of steel out of the north in 1910-11. It was the the grand old lady of two rivers, the Snake and Uie Columbia, that eaine to its end on the Willamette. It was a streamer that received special mention in the book "River of No Return." Recently, the story of the "Norma" was revived here when C. A.

Hayward, who recently retired from a railroad clerical assignment of 47 years, visited Bend. He was the son of Captain G. F. Hay-ward, who in 1909 purchased the then-derelict "Norma" for use on the Columbia in the Fallbridge area, upstream from The Dalles. There for many busy months the "Norma" was the connecting link between the S.P.

and S. railroad on the north bank of the Co BETTER i i I i I I HIGHWAYS TO NEW HORIZON reign sr.a passengers wime me bridge was being built over the Columbia at Celilo. That bridge made it possible for Die Oregon Trunk to beat the Harriman line to North Junction on the Deschutes. North Junction was the first crossing of the railroad over Uie Deschutes. Passengers to Bend in the construction years took the North Bank train to the ferry, crossed Uie river there on the and continued up the canyon to the end of Uie rails, to continue on to Bend by stage.

The "Norma" was Uie connecting link in the train-to-train transfer. Operations of the "Norma" over the Columbia continued until the O.T. steel bridge was completed and placed in operation in January, 1912. After Uie bridge was finished, the "Norma" was held ready for emergency use. I-ater Uie "Norma" ran Celilo Falls at high water and Spear-fish Canyon at low water to reach Portland, where Uie Uireat of barge service to East Portland forced Uie Union Pacific to grant Uie Oregon Trunk, common user privilege.

Final resting place of the "Norma" was in the "boneyard" south of the present Ross Island bridge in PorUand. Barges towed back and forth over the Columbia at Fallbridge were sold. Such is the briefed story of the only boat that had a part in the Central Oregon transportation story.

Delaying and often frustrating repair work, which usually takes place during the summer, is liable to give Oregon a bad reputation. Our state should be a convenient pleasure spot, not a place to stay away from. Concrete requires virtually no repair work for the first ten years, and then only minor maintenance for the rest of its predicted 50-year life.

While concrete highways are a definite asset, the burning, oiling, patching and repaving associated with the upkeep of asphalt Is not one of Oregon's selling points for tourists. Concrete highways are built to take the heat. On the other hand, asphalt surfaces tend, to melt and bleed under hot sun another detriment to tourism. Oregon's highways are your highways -you pay' for them, you maintain them. Look to new horizons for Central Oregon and speak out for modern concrete.
