UNTAPPED COUNTRY
Importance of Route Lies in. Fact
That Section at Present Has
.No Railroad Shipping Facility.
TWO ROUTES SUGGESTED,
One Leaves Columbia River High-
-way at Biggs and Other Leaves
Columbia River at Arlington.
By It. C. John ton
Canyon City. June 27. Next to the
... Pacific and Columbia river highways in
the state highway system Is the John
Day highway. Its Importance lies in
the fact that it passes through a sec
tion which is not served by railroad.
Its course is through Oilliam, Wheeler,
Grant, Baker and Malheur counties,
chiefly a livestock country. The west
ern end of the highway has not yet
been located definitely.
Two locations are under considera
tion. One leaves the Columbia river
highway at Biggs and proceeds across
' Sherman county, crossing- the John Day
river at Cottonwood and thence to Con
don. The other location is to leave the
Columbia river at Arlington and run
through the center of Gilliam county to
Condon. From a topographical stand
point this is the most natural location.
It also conforms with the general plan
for the. development of transportation
on the Columbia river. It being the most
direct route to the1 river and down hill
all the way. The Cottonwood route In
: volvss the crossing of the John Day
canyon, necessitating expensive con
. structlon.
PASSES THROUGH FOSSIt
. From Cottonwood the John Day high
way passes through Fossil and then
strikes the John Day river, which It
follows through "Picture Gorge" and on
np the John Day valley to Us head at
Prairie jcity. From this point the high
way crosses the mountains through the
southeastern part of Baker county to
Vale, where it connects with the Central
Oregon highway, and thence to the
. eastern boundary of the state at Nyssa.
The location between Prairie and Vale
has not yet been fully decided upon.
One Interest wants the road to run
to Austin and thence to Unity. Another
interest advocates from Prairie direct to
r Unity. This route is only 30 miles long.
The Austin route Is 54 miles. Both
routes cross the national forest and rise
to an elevation of approximately 5000
feet. This- is the only hindrance to an
all-year-round route. It is claimed,
however, that the road can be kept open
nearly the entire winter. It is claimed
that the advantage is in favor of the
- direct route. which has only 15 miles
within the heavy snow belt. The Austin
route, it is said, has 40 miles of deep
snow; From Unity east the highway
enters Malheur county by way of Iron
side and Brogan, passing through a rich
section of country to Vale.
SOMIf MOSEY SPE3 T
In the way of improvement consider
able money has been already spent by
the state and counly In Wheeler county
between Mayville and Sarvice creek.
Between Sarvice creek and Valdes ranch
In Grant county, a few miles west
of Dayvllle In the John Day valley, a
section of 50 miles has been under a
cooperative agreement between the fed
eral government, state and county under
the federal aid act. The improvement
has advanced to the construction stage
' and bids have . been called for. The
estimated cost of this project Is ap-
proximately $500,000. The grading along
the John Day river is very heavy and
will average $10,000 a mile. The cost
is added to by the fact that It Is a
long ways from a railroad, making it
a. difficult oroblem to assemble material
and equipment.
The worst section of the highway In
John Day valley Is between John Day
city and Prairie, a distance of 14 miles.
This section Is now being improved,
being regraded and macadamized. The
work is divided Into two post road sec
tions. About 75 per cent of the grading
has been completed and about 25 per
cent of the macadamizing. It is over
this section that chrome ore Is being
hauled. This fact led to an early com
mencement of the improvement during
the war. A factor entering into the
heavy cost of Improvement is the neces
sity of protecting irrigating ditches,
many of which are crossed. In many
places the water is Bi phoned under the
road. In rocking the surface of the
road the old mining dumps of early
days are useful in furnishing material.
In many places these old dumps lie
along the roadside.
HAS FINE SCENERY
The estimated cost of the improve
ment between John Day and Prairie is
approximately $150,000.
- Incidental to its commercial value the
John Day highway vies with other. Ore-
gon roads In its scenic setting. This
embraces rugged mountains, deep can
yons and beautiful valleys filled with
orchards and alfalfa fields. An inter
esting place is Picture canyon, a deep,
rocky cleft through which the John
Day. river' winds through beds of lime
stone in which repose fossil remains of
a past age. To the student of geology
the John Day valley furnishes an inter
esting study in Its deeply eroded buttes.
From "a material standpoint when the
highway is ultimately completed it will
provide an easy outlet of communica
tion between the eastern part of the
State and the Willamette valley. The
traveler from the eastern "boundary of
the state will on reaching Dayvllle have
the -choice of two routes to the coast,
either by way of Mitchell and Frinevme.
across the McKensie pass road or by
way of Fossil and Condon to a junction
with the Columbia river highway. .

Siple Is ntlmsiastic
Over Oregon Jersey
Cow, Vive La France'
3. Law Siple. famous for his art
photographs of pure-bred cows. an4
other livestock, called Upon General
Manager O. M. Plummer of the Pacific
International Livestock exposition Wed
nesday to express his enthusiasm over
the Northwest and its future as a
stock raising section.
With another expert of his firm, and
accompanied by L. L. Noble, Judging
specialist for Armour & Co. of Chicago.
Brple has been making the rounds of all
the big stock farms and breeding cen
ters of the Pacific coast, and had just
come from the Plckard farm In Marlon
county, where 125 feet of moving picture
film and numerous still life studies were
taken of "Vive la France." the famous
Oregon bred 'Jersey cow that won the
world's record In the Jersey class for
the production of butter fat and missed
the world's dairy cow record by only
four pounds. Offers of $30,000 have
been refused for this animal.
"She Is the - most beautiful cow In
the world," said Mr. Siple. "She Is
absolute perfection, and except for an
accident In being deprived of green feed
for .several weeks last year she would
now be holding the world's dairy record.
I predict that she will make a record
better than 1200 pounds this year and
win the world's record by more than
120 pounds. I also unhesitatingly pre
dict that if she goes to the international
dairy show at Chicago this fall ehe
will easily carry off the grand cham
pionship of the world. She is a sample
of what can be done by way of breeding
in Oregon, and Oregon ought to be very
proud of this perfect cow."
