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.”
