For the purpose of developing a
new-etate highway through the Wil
lamette valley, an association has
been formed with I. L. Patterson of
Eola at its head, and having as mem
bers prominent road enthusiasts of
Yamhill, Polk, Marion and Benton
counties. The new highway will be
christened either Capital highway or
Willamette highway, and it seems
probable that the latter name will be
selected on account of the fact that
it will parallel the Willamette river
for about 75 miles.
The present plan calls for a high
way branching off the West Side
highway at Dayton, 32.4 miles south
west of Portland, and extending up
the west side of the Willamette river
to a junction with the Salem-Dallas
highway at West Salem. Which of
the existing roads will be used is not
yet determined, but in any event a
connection will be made with Wheat
land ferry. This section between
Dayton and West Salem will be about
22 miles in length. It presents no
difficult problems of construction and
will open up a section that now has
no railroad facilities.
From West Salem to Brunk's cor
ners the recently completed pave
ment of the Dallas - Salem highway
will be used and here the Willamette
highway will turn to the south and
pass through Independence. This
section of road is one of the most
heavily traveled in the state and is
in urgent need of paving.
The association has not yet made
up a route south of Independence, but
if the plans of the state highway
commission prevail, and the West
Side highway is extended south from
Monmouth to Corvallis, then the as
ciation will endeavor to get an ex
tension of the Willamette highway
south from Independence on a route
nearer the river to Albany, and
thence over the river road to Corval
lis. The last named section is al
ready established as a state highway
by law, but no work has yet been
done on it.

considerable portion is not vin

Sway will also furnish several
fgonal connections betwoon
the West Side and the Pacific high-
Twill start on the West Side high
way at Dayton, tou.h the r.ciflc
highway at Salcm, and wUl Conner
back to the West Side h.ghway at
Independence by means of the con
nection with Monmouth. It will then
connect with the Pacitk highway a
Albany, and finally with the West
Side highway at Corvallis.
This will make four cross connec
tions in all, and at the same time the
highway, will be very popular for
through travel as well as for local
service. Some sections are even now
very heavily used.
While at present no extensionsouth
of Corvallis is contemplated, it would
be possible to get an excellent loca
tion by crossing the river at Corval
lis and following the eant bank to
Harrisburg, parallel with and several
miles west of the Pacific highway.
At Harrisburg the Pacific highway
would be crossed and the Willamette
Whwav would then extend to Eu-
O
gene by way of Coburg.
In fact, at one time the highway
commission seriously considered rout
ing the main Pacific highwaythrough
this territory. From Eugene the new
Willamette highway would merge
with the old Willamette highway up
the middle fork of the Willamette
river and over the Cascade range into
eastern Oregon. The road as planned
would be by far the shortest route to
Crater Lake and the Klamath country.
Just what attitude the highway
commission will take is uncertain but
it is probable that even if the new
highway is placed on the map by the
commission or by the legislature, im
mediate construction would be out
of the question until other roads are
more nearly finished.
It is possible that the commission
might be prevailed upon to take up
some of the sections now, including
the stretch from Brunk's corners to
Independence, and between Albany
and Corvallis,especially since the lat
ter piece is already provided for in
the state programme.
One of the first actions to be taken
by the new association will be to
urge the commission to pave the sec
tion of the West Side highway be
tween Newberg and Dayton station.
This stretch has already been graded
and graveled, and is ready for hard
I surface. It is one of the most heavily
traveled roads in Oregon, and is not
J only an important connection with
the new Willamette highway, but
also serves Dayton, Lafayette, Dun
dee, McMinnville, all the Tillamook
country and the points south of Mc
Minnville on the West Side highway.
The unpaved section is six mileo
Iong,and if a paving plant were to be
set up this fall, the section could be
completed early next .summer. With
the hard surfacing of this section,
there will be continuous paving for
35 miles from Portland. Oregonian.

FARM PRODUCTION COST
IS FOUND TO IJE HEAVY
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis The cost of produce is being
determined by the farm bureaus of
Malheur and Sherman counties.
"In solving economic problems,
cost of production is a fundamental
item," says the Oregon State Farm
Bureau News. This has been too
generally overlooked in farm mech
anics." The cost of production survey of
growing alfalfa in Malheur county
showed that most of the money made
by farmers there was on rising
land values. It was found that after
allowance was made for interest
and normal depreciation of equip
ment and other investments, the la
bor incomes of more than CO farm
ers were only about .$1000 a year
"Considering the size of their in
vestments this labor should have
brought the farmers managers' sal-
woes rauier than laborers
said the News.
The cost of producing Vhcat in
Sherman county was found to be
Siw?4io? buingfrom
Jl.ll to $1.94. This reduces the la
bor income of the farmers far below
what it is generally thought to be by
the public. '
