ROSEBURG, OREGON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1928.
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.
