OREGON, W EDNESDAY, INDUSTRIAL AND STATE NEWS NOTES FEBRUARY 10, 1915 CRESWELL FOR LORANE ROAD NO. 16 would be nominal considering the great benefits that both Creswell and Lorane would derive from it. The right o f way on the Lorane end has been cleared for several miles and with contributions on the part o f the citizens o f both places and a little assistance from the county the road could be put through with but little cost and in a very short time. People living on or near the route o f the proposed road would donate their services for a few days which would great ly help in putting the road in the best o f condition for travel. It will mean a great deal in a com mercial way and would be the means o f starting a stage and freight line and possibly a mail route. Merchants o f Creswell will get more trade and it will make Creswell more o f a distri buting point. Lorane people are ready at any time to do their part and if the business interests o f Creswell do their part there is little doubt but what the road will be opened this next summer. The Lorane valley is a pros perous and enterprising commun ity and the people o f that section are engaging extensively in the fruit industry. Over 1200 acres o f fruit has been planted there, most o f which will be in bearing in a year or two. Most o f this or chard land is owned by the Mil waukee Orchard Co. and the Churchill-Mathews Co. With the fruit coming iuto bearing it will mean that several hundred car loads o f fruit will be handled through Creswell each year.” NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE Salem.
