I ie believed that “eventually a road would connect Bnx,kings with South Central Or egon—but it is a few years off. Action is taken by the I ligliway Commission main ly through the demand of the states citizens. The only way any action would be forthcoming would be to be gin sounding the bass drums. We are convinced that we can’t do it alone—we need help from the vallev. Let’s start looking eastward, and begin laying our plans.

Bandon The Home Economics class of school district has THE BIG BASS DRUM A goodly number of people—including professional foresters, mining enthusiasts, and just plain Sunday dri vers have traveled into the “valley’’ this summer without going into California. They have taken various routes, over roads of sorts, usually the upper Chetco Road, and then to Selma, or O Brien. It isn’t easy- but it has been done a number of times. Some facts are apparent. We reali; that it is but 56 airline miles between Grants Pa* and Brookings, while the driving distance at the pr sent time is better than double that. \\ e know other things. We know that mining in terests in the vicinity of Vulcan Peak now haul Chrome into Brookings, and then over the present route into Grants Pass We know that others concerned with our low grade ores would think it economically feasible to begin mining operations in this region if transportation to a railhead were available. We are positive that the proposed Chetco River mouth harbor will stimulate interest from people in the valley, who are week end fishermen. We kin >w, finally, that if we sit here waiting for the State I lighway Commission to make the initial move on a road through to the vallev we may be waiting quite a spell.
