W. O. Peters, in charge of the work on the ground, was in Grants Pass in conference with Mr. Elliott Wednes- The survey which he is now day. completing gives a road starting from the Grimmett ranch on Sucker creek, sight miles long, to the caves. In building it there will be 90,000 yards of excavation, of which 80 per cent will be of solid rock. The road will wind up the mountain from the mouth of Grayback creek, but i«i no place will have to exceed a 6 c&nt grade. In connection with per development upon the highway to the caves, it is proper to give recognition to the work done by the local champer of commerce in the progress made. For years the Organization has been giv ing its best efforts toward the build ing of the road to the caves. It has met rebuff on many occasions, but al ways it took up the work with re First it tried to get newed energy. aid through congress, and failing in this, appealed to the forestry depart ment and the state highway com mission, finally getting united tion through the bureau of ac public roads, representing the federal gov ernment, and the Oregon state high way commission. Through these two bodies the funds were made available and before the end of another month the highway to the Marble Caves of Oregon will be under construction. This would not have been possible ex cept through the effort of the Grants Pass organization. But the work of the chamber of commerce is not end ed with the letting of the contract for actual construction of the road from the Sucker creek side to the caves, The ultimate aim should be to con- liams creek side, not alone to accom modate travel to the caves, but as an industrial development. The build ing of this road will open up a terri tory rich in resource, bringing isolat Hobos Heave Thankful Sigh When They Get Thirty Days instead of Five Years.
