Enthusiastic over thq poesibUittee
of developing a world-eurpaseiag
scenic read along «ho <
pressed by 8. Benson, chairman o f the
State Highway Commission, and John
B. Yeon, roadmaster for Multnomah
County, who returned to
yesterday after a weak’s motor trip
through the southwestern part o f tha
state on which they wane
led moot o f the distance by Governor
Withycombo, State Highway
sioner Adams and Amo
Both Mr. Benson, Sr., and Mr. Yaoe
are convinced that the coast road, aa
well as the mountain routes from
Grants Pam 'to Crescent City, C al,
and from Roeeburg to Corn Bay will,
when completed along standard lines,
be instrumental to attracting many
motor tourists to Oregon. They point
out, too, that each of these reads is
of tremendous economic importance,
being needed to the full development
of these communities.
They feel that the coast road from
Coos Bay to ths California line will
be of scenic rather than
significance and, therefore, It
wait until the opportune time far
Over and above alPetee they believe
that the Pacific Highway and other
main trunk roads must bars first con
sideration add ths coabt aad scenic
roads secondary consideration.

important, industrially, than its sis

cause o f the fact that the pfepoood
coast road Is to be •of scenic rather

the Pacific highway route, should re

“I do not want to be understood as

will not be built, as it stoat certainly
will be, bat it te to be dene gradually
and in such a way aa not to interfere
with the mem Important work.
“The road from Grants Paas to
Crescent City te to be a moat impor
tant commercial highway, as is evi
denced by the large amonwt o f travel
which te already going that way. But
the state should not, aad will not,
spend its money on that routa until
it io proparly located.
“This matter is entirely up to the
counties through which ths road runs,
Josephine County, (fcwgoa, aad Dal
Norte County, California, and them
two counties have not thus far come
together oa a right of way. Whoa
they agree to meet oa a now toeattea

position to do its share.
_ “The road from Corn Bay to Roee
burg ovet the Myrtle Potat-Camas
Valley route is to fairly good shape,
except about 20 mites over the me
teins. Ths traffic over this road
beea heavy and It has been eut up'
rather badly. The state will
work on this road to the near future
and will also lay seam hard-surf aoe
along ths newly completed grades be
tween Marshfield and Coquille. This
road from Corn Bay to Reaoburg te
highly important, from a commercial
stanrpoint.”
If anything, Mr. Yoon is oven mom
enthusiastic than Mr. Benson over the
scenic poesibUittee o f road develop
ment to the district covered by the
road authorities oa the recent trip.
“ Improvement o f the Coast routs
from Coos Bay sooth will be ows ef
the greatest assets Oregon could pos
sibly possess,” said Mr. Yeon yéstar-
day, "Futhermom, 1 think the com
pletion o f this road along standard
lines will corns quicksr than people
now realise duo to ths demand and
the recognised opportunity to make

“ Ones ths Pacific Highway te com
pleted on a proper line and connected
with a wonderful Coast road, includ
