Be nr Mr. Cooper:
1 beg to acknowledge receipt of your on-
teemed favor of the 84th.inst.nncl note its contents. I examin'd with much interest the Missouri -Pncif.K.R.Go.1 s publication with its beautiful photograph's. It shows a u3&ghific$nt highway. I wonder if you know what was the cost per mile average for the building of this splendid road,and how it, was constructed—that is whether by the City of Portland or by the county of Multnomah ,or by the city and county jointly and in what proportion ?
Mr.Backes told me at the Rotary luncheon last TMrs-
