GOOD Welcome is the infoi-miilion that the Chamber of Com merce of Bend, following similar action by civic organiza tions in Medford and Cottage Grove, lias endorsed Con gressman Hawley's bill providing for a federal appropria tion of $300,000 to complete the projected Ro.seburg-Dia-niond lake highway. With direct rail connection east and north already established and railway extension to the south assured, the progressive county seat of Deschutes is now naturally looking westward for another outlet, most likely in the form of a scenic overland route, and in due course of time Diamond lake may also be touched by such a road. A theoretical route southwest from I!end to Diamond lake would touch three other bodies of water as largo at the lat ter, namely Davis lake, Odell lake and Crescent lake. . If the Cascado range were crossed at the junction of Lane and Douglas counties, Summit hike would mark another spot on the route, or Fish lake would be touched if the mountains were pierced at the Klamath-Douglas county borderl'a short distance north of Alt. Thielson. To be directly connected with such a magnificent scenic highway would bo as much of an advantage to Uosclnirg as to Bend. Admittedly, the project exists only in visionary form, but it is from visions that nearly all great undertakings germinate. The demand for highway extension through the scenic regions of the slate is stronger than ever and, with constantly increasing tourist travel, nothing will silence it but the construction of new roads. With the greater portion of her limbered area beyond reach of taxation by reason of federal owner ship, Oregon, as well as other western states, is not asking too much for liberal federal assistance in 1uilding roads, es pecially through goveri'ment-owned territory. Bend is as much entitled to such consideration as any other city in the State, and when the time comes for her to ask a share of aid, Roreburg will be glad to reciprocate with an endorsement of her own. VISIONS THEN Rarely indeed is it the good fortune of the News-Review to bo able to publish in a single edition, as it did Friday, two such interesting articles on early-day Douglas county life as originated from the reminiscences of R. A. Emmetl, now of Klamath Falls, and William R. Vinson, of Roseburg. Singularly enough, while both men contributed their almost concurrent information from cities over two hundred miles apart, both arc former residents of the same Douglas coun ty locality the pioneer settlement of Coles Valley. In the steamboat experiment narrated by Mr. IOnimett one sees how th ri farmers of that day 1870 tried to solve that old, old ' problem of growing communities, transportation. The ex periment was a failure, but the farmers got what they want ed through the happy advent of the railroad a short time later. The railroad (li." iaced the tedious and dangerous sys tem of overland freighting, horse-drawn passenger stages) and the pony express. Pioneer communities that lacked the foresight to grant rights of way to railroads suffered ii after years by failure to show any material growth while their progressive neighbors steadily forged ahead. And this contrast will be the result in the near future its between thoNU cities that establish airports for the expanding avia tioiViervioo or have already done so and those cities that do not. Mr. Vinson's article shows how he envisaged years ligO. the coming of the airplane and brought ridicule upon himself. Ho Was simply displaying the 'courage of his ac curate foresight. May the realization of his vision be em phasized by the establishment of an airport near his home city of Itr.scburg and that be will live for many more years to enjoy the fulfillment of his prophecy. ."The action of the city council last evening authorizing a special election on March 2S to vote on the issuance of bonds in the sum of $2."i,(K)0 for the purpose of establishing an adequate airport for Uosebtirg sets (he wheels in motion for n very important acquisition to Hie c ity's future growth and prosperity, giving a landing field second to none in the stale with sufficient ground fcr all necessary imprtiimeutx that may be required later. I'mpqua 1'ost, No. ill. Ameri can' Legion, is promoting this new project lor U-.;.'!nu' and tho f'boys" are right on their toes to tee that the people of this community are fully acquainted with the merits of the Svorthy undertaking. The day is not far distal"--! when fiU mode of transportation will be of great imporlaipv to every live community in the stale mid RoMan-. with its ideal Vclimatic conditions the year round, will be o-i,- o:' the im portant airports on the n ; si route. With the bond election scheduled for March L'8, its success would be a happy occa sion to celebrate during the forthcoming Strawberry carnival. You don't have to be Mephi.-to in devil as a singer.
