    VITRIFIED Brick and Pipe Whenever you want to construct perma­ nent streets for heavy or light traffic, auto­ mobile speedways, or drains, use Vitnhed Brick or Vitrified Pipe. WHY?

    Great Northern Railway, New Cascade Tunnel

    14 ew Cascade Tunnel Great Northern ailway The Cascade Mountain Crossing of the Great Northern Railway "When the Pacific extension has been completed, your company will have a continuous rail line from Lake Superior, St. Paul and Minneapolis to the Pacific Coast, shorter than any existing transcontinental railway and with lower grades and less curvatures. The policy of improving the property, which has given such good results in the past, is still being followed." James J. Hill in Great Northern Railway annual report for 1890 The physical advantages mentioned above still prevail and the completion of the longest railway tunnel in the Americas is proof that the policy of improving the property is still being followed. On Thanksgiving Day, 1925, the Directors authorized the most extensive improvement project ever undertaken on the Great Northern. It involved the construction of a long tunnel piercing the backbone of the Cascade Range, the relocation of all but 7 miles of the old 50-mile line between Peshastin and Scenic, the elimination of nearly 12 miles of tunnels and snow- sheds and the electrification of 75 miles of road between Appleyard (near Wenatchee) and Skykomish. This program is now completed at a cost of $25,000,000. When the Pacific extension was begun at Havre in 1890, the outstanding engineering problem consisted of finding the best route across the Cascade Mountains. John F. Stevens, in December, 1889, had discovered Marias Pass, which gave the Great Northern by far the best Rocky Mountain crossing in the United States north of New Mexico, and immediately thereafter James J.

We have l imited our report to "facts and figures" concerning the Highway Department and Washington State*s highway system, and have made no attempts to advance opinion or philosophy. We intend this book to be a reference guide for anyone - students, legislators, news media people and Highway Department employees - who need information on Washington's primary transportation system. Compi l ing the information for this book has been - and wi l l continue to be - a formidable task, requiring many hours and much di l igent research. The book you are now holding does not contain "everything" about the highway system; rather, ^it contains the information we have compiled so far and have included in it. More - much more - wi l l be forthcoming in the future. We wi l l send additional information to those who receive the book as it becomes avai lable, and we ask that those who want to stay up to date to supply the Publ ic Information Office with their names and addresses. We hope our book serves your needs and we wi l l welcome any suggestions, comments and criticisms you may care to give us regarding its contents.

    Finding of No Significant Impact Duportail Street

    Federal Highway Administration FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT for DUPORTAIL STREET BRIDGE BENTON COUNTY, WASHINGTON Issued Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4332 (2)(c) and 23 U.S.C. 128 (a) This action complies with Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, and Executive Order 12898, Environmental Justice. The Duportail Street project will construct a new four-lane bridge and a pedestrian/ bicycle path on the upriver side of the bridge. The project will also extend Tanglewood Drive eastward approximately 700 feet east and 1, 700 feet west of Duportail Street. Sidewalks will be installed where necessary to create a seamless pedestrian network in the project area. It will upgrade the intersection of Duportail Street and SR 240, install a signal at the intersection of Duportail Street and Tanglewood Drive, and build new access to Tanglewood Drive from properties south of Duportail Street. The existing water main, which crosses the Yakima River at this location, will be replaced with a water main onto the new bridge. The parking lot for the existing boat launch will be reconfigured and one nature trail will be designated. The Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) has determined that this proposal to construct a· bridge will have no significant impact on the human or natural environment. This Finding of no Significant Impact (FONSI) is based on the February 2013 Environmental Assessment. The environmental assessment was independently evaluated by the FHWA and determined to adequately and accurately discuss the need, environmental issues, impacts of the proposed project, and appropriate mitigation measures.

Palouse Falls, Washington. The Palouse River originates in Idaho and flows westward before it enters the Snake River near Lyons Ferry, Washington. About 10 kilometers north of this confluence, the river has eroded through the Wanapum Basalt and upper portion of the Grande Ronde Basalt to produce Palouse Falls, where the river drops 60 meters (198 feet) into the plunge pool below. The river’s course was created during the cataclysmic Missoula floods of the Pleistocene as ice dams along the Clark Fork River in Idaho periodically broke and reformed. These events released water from Glacial Lake Missoula, with the resulting floods into Washington creating the Channeled Scablands and Glacial Lake Lewis. Palouse Falls was created by headward erosion of these floodwaters as they spilled over the basalt into the Snake River. After the last of the floodwaters receded, the Palouse River began to follow the scabland channel it resides in today. Photograph by Stephen P. Reidel.
