R6ad Is Being Cut
Around Perpetua
Highway Is Being Carved Out of Solid
Rock to Connect Lincoln and Lane
County Coast Line.
Grim old Cape Pefpetua, one of the
most forbidding of the many heads that
guard Oregon's coast line, is at last
having a good road built over it. Right
across its face the United States for
est service, with the assistance of the
counties of Lincoln and Lane, is hew
ing a highway out of the solid rock,
and one little stretch of three quarters
of a mile long is costing thousands of
dollars in blasting work alone.
J. T. Schuyler, the new road engineer
recently assigned to this district of the
forest service, is now on the scene,
and is enthusiastic over the road and
what has already been accomplished.
The new road connects two areas of
settlement, one in Lane and the other
in
Lincoln, which have hitherto been
accessible to each other only by rounda
bout and almost impassable routes. The
two counties are each building good
roads to connect with the new one.
