PORT ORFORD, OREGON: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, ISSO.
COUNTY.
T h e A v e r y T r a il.
The above thoroughfare is of
the first importance, not alone to
the large number of industrious
settlers at its term inus and along
its course, but to the business of
Port Orford as well. This trail
was located by order of the County
Court, in pursuance of the “ trail
law ” of Oregon, and has been
opened from Newcastle this way
tor a considerable distance, while
the route selected puts it upon bet
ter ground than that occupied by
the old trail and very m aterially
shortens the distance traveled be­
tween Newcastle and this place.
Some work has been done on this
end, starting out from a point near
Deputy Sheriff U nican’s place.
We understand th at many b u si­
ness men and others about P ort
Orford are ready to contribute
toward the completion of the en­
terprise, and certainly it will be
to the interest of all of us to per-
. severe in the m atter, until a good,
practicable highway connects us
with the very outposts of the in ­
habited country lying east of here.
"W e would suggest in this connec­
tion that contributions be placed
in the hands of Mr. Coldwell or
some other reliable person, and
let him hire labor by the m onth,
and have the supervision of the
expenditure of all funds so ad­
vanced. By all means let the peo­
ple at this end evince a sp irit of
liberality in a m atter of so much
importance to all. And w hatever
is done should be gone about
speedily.
