Within the next two or three years there will be opened to traffic a splendid highway encircling the Olympic-Penin- sula-Washington opening to automobilists and nature lovers a vast field of scenic wonders.

Clallam County and the State Highway Commission are taking advantage of every day of good weather to push con- struction work now under way to com- pletion.

The crews are far apart, but they are striving toward one end, namely: the laying down of a good road from Oiym- pia, and encircling the peninsula, pass- ing through Shelton, Hoodsport, Ducka- bush, Brinnon, Quilcene, Port Angeles. Beaver, Forks, Bogachiel, Humptulips, Hoquiam, Aberdeen, Montesano, Elma and McCleary.

For the eastern part of the Olympic highway between Hoodsport, in Mason County, and the Duckabush River, the Legislature appropriated $111,814, and an additional sum of $9,220 for mainte- nance. Active work already is pro- ceeding on the eastern portion of the route. Honro Camp No. 1, containing thirty convicts under charge of Frank Randolph, has been operating a little more than two months on heavy rock work out of Hoodsport.

It has been decided to allot to the con- victs as much work as it is estimated they can do by October 1, 1914. This, it is expected, will take them through Hoodsport to a mile or two north of Lilli- waup, a total distance of about seven miles. Progress is slow, because the highway is blasted out of solid rock.

About a month ago, contract for nine miles of the northern part of the eastern wing of the highway was let, and some work will be done this winter. As soon as the work that the convicts in the honor camp can do by next fall is more defin- itely estimated, contract for the middle portion of the east side division, that between the northern end of the convicts' work and the southern end of the nine mile stretch, will be awarded. The high- way commission has just approved plans for the portion of the route between Sunds Landing and Hama Hama.

��Clallam County is making rapid pro- gress with its road programs, for which $300,000 was voted some time ago. Twelve miles of the Olympic Highway near Sequim has just been completed, and sixty miles more will be constructed, al! to be finished within two years. The twelve mile stretch winds about the shores of Discovery and Sequim Bays, crosses the rich valleys of Sequim and Dungeness, and then leads up into the Olympics to Lake Crescent, that gem-set body of crystal pure water in the heart of the snow-capped range.

For the western wing of the Olympic highway from Hoquiam north, the State

��set aside $44,727. It has practically been decided to establish a double route be- tween Hoquiam and HumptuUips by co- operation between the State and Che- halic County. The understanding is that the State is to improve the road as lo- cated on the State Highway Commis- sion's map, while the county is to con- struct a new and shorter road direct be- tween the two points. The new route is known as the Hanson road.

Construction of the Olympic Highway means much to the peninsula counties, a it will give them a passable route to tb Puget Sound country; also it will opei a vastly rich scenic touring ground for th
