tide Making Scenic Route
K. L. Mapes mid Win, Fizcllc, as
sisted by their neighbors, huve
been making a valiant light for
better roads up to iiuld 1'enk on
the north slope, and while lin y
ttill soon have u rock road up to
the Majies placi at least by
f all -and expect to see a rock
road clear through to the nin
hill line in another season, ilicy
have not stopped at that. Tin y
recently went over to Newberg
to tisil the business men of that
city. They were wtleuiiu;d by
the Commercial Club uf that hi
It rprising town, and it begins to
look as though Newberg ami
Vmnhill County will buck their
-diuiihlcrs and lay a ruck mac up
I he south slope at n less than 'ive
per cent grade. Mr. Mapes, if
ler his riturn, received the fol
lowing letter from J. L. Coleord,
Cashier of the I'. S. National
I! ink of Newberg, the letter ti ll
ing its ow n story :
"Mr. F. I.. Mapes, Laurel,
Ore iron.
Dear Sir- A report was made
last 1 1 i 1 1 1 to our Commercial
Club as to your ollieial visit here,
ind it it needless to say that the
members of the Club were very
much pleased, as wt; were at 'he
lime of your visit, u learn au;iiit
vuur ruad improvements Mid
id ins to complete )our work 'his
season. The conditions of the
roads on Chchalcm Mountain
on
been
i a ve
so very
bad that our
ixoiile do nut travel over them
ople do I
d do not
ind du not know how vour peo
ple are situated over on that side,
but as our work has been started
hy some live wires on the moun
tain and have interested all on
this side as to the possibilities of
getting an easy grade as well as
tu open .some of the best eou itry
in tin.- state, mid also to develop
une of the attractive scenic
routes, the work will now be
backed up by our business men,
and will be pushed along as fast
as such improvements can be
considering the heavy costs mid
shortage of labor.
Vour road, if not much lunger
to Laurel and Ilillsboro, has
many advantages over any other
road ns now laid out, as it will
give the easiest gratle and makes
the outlet fur more roads from
the north side uf the mountain,
and can be completed .sooner
than the other road or branch
which we are planning for, run
ning tu the cast and connecting
with the Scholls road. The Ciub
ordered the Road Committee to
push the work as much as can be,
to get a surveyor as soon as pos
sible and nlso get the petition
ready and presented to the
Court for n short piece not yet
l,)jd out lis a road.
Wishing yon success in your
good work and that you may lie
able in a few months to feel that
vou have access to the big tfiVri
in which you live mid to be nbl
to mingle with mid enjoy your
nciiiliburs as you have not been
permitted to do in the past.
Vcrv trulv yours,
