Portland-Spokane-This airway is being surveyed for intermediate fiels and lights by Airways Extension Superintendents S. S. Boggs and Grant N. Berryman. The Pasco-Spokane section will closely follow the highway and railroad leading from Pasco to Spokane, and the intermediate filed sites will be located at Connell, Lind, Cheney, and an intermediate field midway between Ritzville and Sprague. http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015021076875;view=1up;seq=54

LIGHTED AIRWAY LANE THROUGH DEEP MOUNTAIN GORGE NOW READY FOR AIRCRAFT
A lighted lane for aircraft, 50 miles in length, running through a deep gorge between mountain walls and heavy forests, is now ready for airmen to fly at night, between Portland, Oreg., and Pasco, Wash., on the Salt Lake City-Seattle airway. Bounded on two sides by the walls of the Columbia River Gorge, on the bottom by the Columbia River and the floor of the gorge and frequently on the top by fog, this passageway, at times is virtually a tunnel, yet is the most desirable aircraft route through this section of the country. Combined with the difficulties of terrain and forest was that presented by fog which frequently blankets the surrounding area, and at limes the upper portion of the gorge, making it impracticable to route the airway over the top of the gorge. The lower part of the gorge, however, is usually swept by winds which keep it free from fog, and thereby enables airmen to cover the distance when flights over the top could not be undertaken. When the fogs form in the upper part of the gorge, which frequently result in li50-foot ceilings, the beams from the regular long range revolving beacons are blotted out. Therefore, a special system of low altitude lights was developed by the airways division of the Aeronautics Branch for installation at prominent points on the walls of the gorge, marking an air lane free from obstructions between Cape Horn, 25 miles east of Portland, Oreg., and Lyle, Wash., 50 miles farther east.
MOUNTING OF BEACONS
Airway electric flashing code beacons are mounted at 21 sites on both sides of the gorge at prominent locations so that airmen need only follow the course outlined by the two lines of light in order to fly safely through the gorge. Green lights are on the Washington side of the gorge and red lights on the Oregon side, to provide proper orientation by airmen passing between red and green lights. Two 300-milimeter airways code beacons are Installed at each site, one being in use nightly and the other functioning as a reserve unit which is put into operation automatically upon failure of the service beacon from either the burning out of lamps or power failure. The reserve units are operated from storage batteries, which are kept charged by means of trickle chargers connected with the service line. Each of the service beacons is equipped with two 250-watt, 110-volt lamps, and the stand-by units are provided with 36-watt, 6-volt bulbs. Both service and reserve beacons, the latter when in operation, flash on a one-second-on and one-second-off program. In order to provide commercial current for all of the side lights, it was necessary to contract for approximately 25 miles of pole-line extensions. Rights of way through standing timber had to be purchased and many of the poles had to be set in rock. Two more lights to complete the system are being installed, one at the western extremity of the gorge, and the other at the eastern end.
