Proponents argue the road would speed canal work, reduce costs, and provide early relief above The Dalles, with limited conflicts near Celilo and the Big Eddy fishery. A new Open River Commission meeting is expected soon.

Colonel R C Judson of the O R and N disputes Professor Chubbock of the agriculture department on the Russian thistle.
