ALL IS NOT LOVELY
OVER THE SISKIYOUS
The first tar over the Sisklyous
from California this year arrived in
Medford Wednesday, says the Med
ford Tribune of Thursday, the jour
ney from Dunsinuir, Cal., taking
three days. Eugene Crandall, editor
of the Calgary "Motors and Motor
ing" drove the car being en route
from Los Angeles, Cal., where he
spent the winter, to his home. The
, road is closed 'between Redding and
Dunemuir, but construction work has
started and reports in Redding were
to the effect that the road would be
open about May 1st. Mr. Crandall
shipped his car to Dnnsmnir and
then motored to Hilt. The otner side
of the mountain he reports in very
bad condition It being necessary to
shovel through drifts mile after mile,
but his car has made a path and If
there is no more snow the only diffi
culty will 'be a landslide two miles
from the summit on the California
side where a portion of the road has
almost disappeared and Mr. Crandall
nearly lost his car. A temporary
bridge In his opinion 'will have to be
built bere, and be believes It will
take a week to make this portion of
the highway passable.
