Road Needs Oiling
It lias been a mystery to The D aily T idings as
to why the Ashland-Klamath F alls highway has not
been oiled. Practically every other unpaved impor
tant highw ay in the state has been oiled w ith the
exception of the road between Ashland and Klam ath
Falls.
•It is believed that the figures showing the
amount of travel on the various highways of the
state w ill show that the local highw ay is used pro
bably as much as any of them aud it unquestionably
ia of equal m&ortance from the standpoint of south
ern Oregon
the state tourist travel in general.
It is tru F oilin g makes it unpleasant for a short
time, h u t.it would be far better to undergo this in
convenience for a short time in order to elim inate
the dust nuisance which makes travel on the A sh
