THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY MARCH 13, 1917. ARMY MEN WANT COAST ROAD BUILT Highway Into California via Curry County Would Be Open All Year. ROUTE DEEMED FEASIBLE State Engineer Lewis Advises "W. D. 13. Doflson That Construction of Road Easy, as Hills Are of k Soft Rock Formation. SALEM. Or., March 14. (Special.) That steps are being taken toward ad vancing the construction of a. military highway along the Pacific Coast be tween Oregon and California, and that the Balboa Highway Is receiving marked consideration. Is shown In a letter from W. IX B. Dodson, executive secretary of the Portland, Chamber of Commerce, to John. H. Lewis, State Engineer. Xne of the schemes with reference to road construction between Oregon and California is that suggested as the Balboa Highway, which would have some value for military purposes," de clared Mr. Dodson. Road's Construction TJrgred. "The engineers on Puget Sonn-d are Wrglng this and making a strenuous argument to the effect that If a road were built along the coast line It would be free of snow the year around, and would prove a very attractive route for automobile tourists to travel at periods of the year not attempted now." In replytnr to Mr. Dodson concerning the feasibility of locating an all-year road between Portland and California through Curry County, State Engineer Lewis said that he regarded this as the only feasible route for such, high way. "The Coos Bay and Port Orford quadrangle maps, published by the United States Geological Survey," said Mr. Lewis, "show the detailed location of existing roads, also elevations by means of contours, to a point near Gold Beach. There is no map available showing roads from this point to the California line, about SO miles. The United States Army engineers may have some information for this portion of the route. "Last Summer I went from Coos Bay to Crescent City, Cal., along the coast, and was surprised at the excellence of the roads and bridges in Curry County .nd at the great variety and beauty f the scenery. 1 Rood Material Ideal. "The soft rock formation In the hills and gravel at numerous creek crossings along the coast, affords Ideal road building material! At present the road Is too crooked and narrow at three different points, where it climbs to an elevation of 1200 to 1400 feet, to en tourage heavy automobile traffic by this route. "Present travel reaches the Willam ette Valley by way of Myrtle Point and Roseburg, but ultimately will follow nore nearly a water level grade across Coos Bay, up the Siuslaw River and over a low divide to Eugene. "The Pacific Highway is closed by snow for a number of months each year where It crosses over the. Siski you Mountains into California. Late reports Indicate It Is now closed to traffic While such route will have to be constructed to serve the large population adjacent, yet the Curry C'ounty route would doubtless prove C. A.

"It is unfortunate that the $6,000,000 to be voted upon In June cannot be used by the Highway Commission In the construction of grade and align ment, which is the only permanent part of the road, leaving the wearing sur face, or temporary part, to be pro vided by the counties. This has been the policy in the state of Washington to eliminate local pressure in the im portant matter of permanent trunk line location. "I find that this Important link In the North and South all-year road through Curry County Is not listed in the bonding bill. There Is thus lit tle Immediate prospect for Its construc tion, as Curry County cannot afford to construct its road for heavy through traffic without help from the state and Nation."
