K L A M A T H FALLS, Ore., May
10. — Small hope for the oiling
of the Ashland - K lam ath Falls
highway from Keno to the sum­
m it of Green Springs mountain is
held out by engineers connected
w ith the state highway depart­
ment. Lack of available money
for the project is held to be the
cause that the oiling of that
tion w ill not be undertaken this
year.
“A certain sum of money has
been, appropriated by the state
highway commission to be used
in oiling certain sections o f de­
signated roads,’* Charles Wanser,
division state highway engineer,
In charge of K lam ath said this
mornling.

“ I f the cost of oUlng these high­
ways was overestimated, then
there would bo some chance of
the surplus being diverted 4o the
Keno-Summlt section of the Aab-
id - K lam ath Falls highway,
Bfit only In that event, can I see
«ay change of raising sufficient
money for the project.
“ The commission has authoris­
ed oiling of a largo section of The
Dalles - C alifornia highway to the
north and south of K lam ath Falla,
and also the oiling of the Ashland-
Klamath
Falls highway from
Klamath Falls west to Kano.
Says Highway O. K .
Wanser was asked whether the
highway to Ashland would w ith­
stand the heavy tourist travel
which w ill bo routed over it this
year.
“ Yes, It certainly w ill,” he an­
swered. “The highway over the
mountains to the west of here 1s
one of the .best sections o f macad­
am In this part ot the state. Rout­
ed through timber, the moisture
is retained In tbe road bed, and
with the clay binder well sealed In
