WILL SHORTEN DISTANCE TO CRATER LAKt Other Improvement Work will ltring Thousumls of Dollars To Douglus County. " That Judge Marsters' recent trip to Salem to appear before the state highway commission with plans for the Improvement of the Pass Creek canyon road was very successful is proven iby the following dispatch, received from Salem today: SALEM, Aug. 11 The Btate high way commission at Its meeting yes terday authorized the county court of Douglas county to expend $5000 at once for the preliminary work on a road from Pass Creek canyon south which It is said will make the trip to Crater lake one day shorter and will avoid about 120 miles of the road to the Crater lake national park. The proposed new road will run by Tiller Rock over what is now little more than a trail In a few places. S. C. Bartrum, forest su pervisor of the Umpqua national forest, stated that the preliminary survey showed that the steepest grade would be but two per cent and that the Tiller Rock would become a wonderful scenic route. State Treasurer Kay was lit favor of taking immediate action in the matter but Governor Withycombe asked that the advisory board of the Pacific highway bo consulted be fore any definite action was taken. It is stated that the proposed road will make a creditable addition to Pacific highway and will Improve this highway by shorettnlng tlie route and also by providing a short er route to Crater lake. Judge Marsters, county judge of Douglas county stated that the residents of that county were favorable to the expenditure of county money on the proposed route. The work of the Pass creek can yon road will begin In a very few days according to a statement made by Judge Marsters today and dur ing the winter months a survey will That the people of Douglas county a - taking a greater Interest in limiting and fishing than ever be fore shown by the number of hunting and fishing licenses issued by the county clerk's force. A steady growth is shown in the past Jew years in the sale of licenses this year ,bolng decided Increase over any previous year. The great est rush of licenses comes the last three days before the hunting season opens, this year the date being August 15. On account of the sea son opening 30 days later In making . comparisons It is necessary to use the month from July ir to August 15 instead of the month of July as heretofore. In July, 101.1. there was taken In by th,- clerk's office iiy sale of li censes $l,nt;s each dollar represent ing one license. In 1911, $1104, a gain of $:iii. During the month of July. 1015, there were sold 312 licenses, and In August lo date there has been sold 2B2, making a total of r.TI. Eighty-six licenses were Issued yesterday and It is thought that the next three days will average at least I ion, bringing the total up to over son. Added to this number is the licenses sold by the seven deputies, there being a person authorized to pell licenses in Glendale, Drain. Sutherlin. Myrtle Creek. Riddle. Elkton 'and Gardiner. With this addition It Is certain that the total number will run considerably over that of last year. be run south with the Idea of more improvements and the work of the new construction will begin as soon as the weather opens up in the spring. The work will mean f.ie ex penditure of several thousands lot dollars In the county and will make several places .In the road which heretofore have proved a menace to the lives of those who travel them a safe and scenic road which will .prove a .great advertisement for Douglas county. The cost bill in the rase of Olive F. Crow vs. Albert Abraham was fil ed today costs being required In the sum of $22.50. B. R. Clark left this afternoon for Seattle where ho will visit with his brother. Mr. and Mrs. Will Carl returned today from a two weeks' vacation trip to the mountains. RELIEF NEEDED WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.
