Much of Oregon's future road
development can be traced to the
work of Felix Scott and his help
er John Craig. In 1862 Scott
came north from California with a
supply train and a herd of cat
tle. His intention was to go up
to Marysville and on to Eastern
Oregon via the Barlow road
then the only road over the
mountains and very steep when
heading east.
He stopped overnight at Cart
right's tavern in Lorane and was
told of a trail used by the Indians
from eastern Oregon when they
came to the headwaters of the
McKenzie to cure salmon. This
suggested to him the possibility
of a shorter and easier way than
the Barlow road so he came over
to Eugene to investigate further.
Here he learned that a single

light wagon had made its way
up the McKenzie to Belknap
springs, a distance of 60 miles.
In spite of the fact that many
people warned him of the perils
attending such a venture and
thought him foolhardy for think
ing about it, he decided to at
tempt a crossing.
40 Men Begin Work
Bringing together a group of 40
men, practically the entire labor
supply of the region at that time,
and hiring John Craig, of Coburg,
as foreman, Scott began the trail
which is now the McKenzie high
way and pass. All summer and
autumn they worked, following
the Indian trail up and over the
mountain and down to Trout
creek where they made their win
ter quarters.
A corporation for the develop
ment of this road was first form
ed by Scott in December, 1862,
but not until 10 years later, dur
ing which time Craig kept stead
ily at work, sometimes with as
sistance and sometimes without,
was a successful business formed
and a wagon toll road started in
operation. After over 10 years of
operation the company finding
that it was losing money on the
venture abandoned the road but
in 1898 Lane county took over
the road, naming It the McKen
zie and. Eastern Oregon road.
Marker on Trail
The crossing now known as the
McKenzie pass is not the same
one discovered by Felix Scott.
This is the Lost Creek canyon pass
discovered in 1866 by John Latta.
The marker will be hung between
two large cedar posts at some
spot along the actual trail used
by Scott.
This pioneer road work had
further repercussions. As a resi
dent of Coburg prior to 1862 John
Craig had as a friend and neigh
bor, George Melvin Miller who as
a boy had idolized Craig.
Craig s dream for the comple
tion of the McKenzie pass in turn
Inspired George Miller who dream
ed of a transcontinental highway
stretching from New York to the
Pacific coast. This then became
the task of his life and he spent
many days searching for a west
ern terminus finally deciding up
on Florence.
Miller Helped
When Ezra Meeker decided to
make his trip back over the old
Oregon Trail in a prairie schoon
er, he was encouraged and parti
ally financed by George Miller.
Possibly because of urgings by
Miller, Ezra Meeker continued his
trip beyond Independence, Mis
souri, and on to Washington, D.
C. Here he had a chat with Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt, who im
pressed with his story made a
provisibn in the forest service
laws then beeing drawn up for
government-built roads through
these western areas.
While George Melvin Miller
never realized his dream of a
six-lane transcontlnenal highway
his "road faith" helped start the
present fine highway over the
McKenzie, the "low pass" over
