SANDY. OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1971 f Many persons operate, use old mountain road The following is some more Howe. This article is about E. historical information from the Henry Wemme. Post mountain reporter Nell After Samuel Barlow crossed the Cascades and arrived at Oregon City, he found the territorial legislature was in session. He petitioned for a charter to open a road across the Cascades. The charter was granted December 16,1845, and as soon as the snow had melted a party of 40 men set out to recover the wagons that had been left behind and to clear the rest of the way. 668-5365 or The construction of course was crude and skimpy, but 668-4717 Barlow operated it as a toll road for two years after it was Poodle Grooming by Appointment C O W P O K ES By Ace Reid Wul, what do you know— I jist found your key here in the lock."

O rig in a lly the road was ninety m iles in length, beginning near Wapinitia on the east slope of the Cascades, and ending a few miles south of the present town of Sandy, where it joined the old Foster Road. Barlow la te r deeded his rights to the government and the road was operated under lease for the next two or three years. The lease operators did nothing to improve or repair it and it deteriorated badly as a result. In 1862 the Mt. Hood Wagon Road Company, capitalized at •$25,000 took the road, but their operation failed. They were followed in May, 1864 by the Cascade Road and Bridge Company, Inc. This company laid some corduroy across the swamps, built some bridges and made other im provements. In 1862, the road was deeded to the Mt. Hood and Barlow Road Company, which was organized by R ichard Gerder, Stephen Davis Coalman, H E. Cross, J.T. Apperson and F.O. McCown. This group shortened the road so that its western ter minus was at Alder Creek, and they made some further im provements, but at its best it was still a rugged, formidable passage, particularly on the west side of the mountain. In 1912, E. Henry Wemme, Oregon’s first motorist, (there is some argument whether he was or not) and a devotee of our scenic resources, purchased the road outright for $5,400. By this time the west end was at ¡Tollgate, one m ile above Rhododendron. Wemme made many im provements before his death. He bequeathed the ro 'd tc his attorney, Mr. George W. Jose ph, who held it in trust until it was finally accepted by the State Highway Commission and the federal government as a gift. With this transfer the road was soon modernized into a “ high gear" automible high way which was completed about 1920. Wemme was named after E. Henry Wemme, and the dedicated corridor just west of Wemme, was also named for him. Rings taken Rings, guns and a camera valued at $590 were reported stolen Oct. 8 from the home of Earl Nolte, 15625 E. Burnside.
