FRHAlT HERBERT RAWUNSON IN 'FLIRTING WITH DEATH.'
According' to information received
here today the secretary of agricul
ture has approvedl the co-oporative
agreement for the survey and con
struction of the Canyonvllle-Gal-s-
ville road (Canyon creek canyon) in
Douglas county, - this announcement
being made by District Foretser Geo
H. Cecil, of Portland, who has just
received a copy of the agreement
signed by the secretary.
; The Canyonville-Galesville road Is
a forest road project under section 8
of the federal aid road act of July
11, 1916. It will replace a specially
difficult stretch of the Pacific high
way in the Cow creek cannon region,
and because of its value as a military
road Its early construction is impor
tant. The total length of this pro
ject Is 11.8 miles, in Douglas county;
8.15 miles being within the Umpqua
national forest.
The state highway commission of
Oregon and the county commission
ers of Douglas county will co-opera e
with'the government in the survey
and construction of the road. The
estimated cost for the location sur
vey and construction is $157,000. The
government will pay 42.68 per cent
of the final costs of survey plans, esti
mates and) construction of the pro
ject, and the state and county offi
cials 57.32 per cent of these costs,
The cost of maintenance, which is
estimated at $1,600 annually will be
met by the local authorities. Cau
tionary and informative signs will
be erected and maintained along the
right-of-way by the government.
District Engineer L. I. Hewes, of
the office of public roads, already
has a party at work making the loca
tion survey for this road, which will
require three or four weeks to complete.
Oregon share in the $10,000,000
allotted by the government for forest
roads in the national forest states
under section 8 of the federal aid
road act is $128,111 for 1918, and a
similar amount each year until 1926.
Other forest road projects In Oregon
which have been approved by Secre
tary Houston are 17 miles of the
MedlfordtKlamath Falls road on the
prater Lake national forest, in Jack-
SUU UUUI1LJ, O IHllttH 111 Uie BUIIltt IUUU
In Klamath county, and 9.7, miles of
the Ochoco canyon road in Crook
county, partly on the Ochoco national
forest.
- By this co-operative agreement
$167,000 is to be expended for the
construction of this strip of the Pa
cific highway, known as the Cow
Creek canyon or the Oanyon Creek
canyon road. Of this amount Doug
las county is required to furnish the
sum of- $23,000 the residue is ap
propriated and shared equally by the
federal government and the state.
iEngineers are now engaged in
making the final survey of this strip
of roadway and as soon as this work
is completed bids will be advertised
for and actual construction will
commence in ten near future.
This particular part of the Pacific
highway haB long been a menace to
tourist travel and many serious acci
dents have been . narrowly averted
and in some instances lives 'have been
sacrificed, due to the narrowness of
the road and the many sharp turns
encountered therein.
With the elimination of this dan
gerous strip and the completion of
the Roberts mountain cutoff, Doug
las county can well boast of a "safe
and sane" highway through this sec
tion which will tend greatly to ad
vertise our community to the motor
traveling world.
