To the Editor: Necessity has compelled me to make five trips within the past month over the Oregon Mountain. via Grants Pass-Crescent City high way, and, owing to the condition of the road on the Oregon side. 1 have found each trip to be so exhausting as to positively dread the coining of the next one. Returning from Patrick’s Creek, the road on the California side is in an excellent condition with its well rounded curves, its filled in gutters, its pavement-like smoothness all brought aliout by the every day touches of a trained laborer, giving the tourist the Impression that Cali fornia’s leaders are neither sleeping nor resting on th*' laurels <4f a suc cessful “taxless." political campaign, but, instead, are making every ef fort to live up to tlieir de luxe name • But when th«- boundary line is reachi'd, and you enter the Oregon trail, instead of enjoying the grand scenery before you, you. and all of the occupants of your car (no matter bow many) begin to strain nerves, as well as muscles, to avoid the skull .and cross bones that incbly awaits you. Jounced and Jostled and Jazzed for oyer an hour and with torn tiren, jammed gas tanks and other evf- dunces of damage done by tbo ter rible condition of this road that should be so constructed and signal- led as to at h ast prepare us a safe place to pass the on-coming suf- ferer, you finally reach Whiskey creeit, where, ot course, you stop to get your breath and courage to try, the next six mil' of tortuous road, where the boulders no longer bound the passage, but rear their jagged heads at every turn until peaceful Waldo is upon you and a you stop for a “soft drink” you cannot help l»ut listen to the comments of tour- ■ ists who charge our leaders with au dacity In permitting th«- circulation of literature, lauding our climate and sceni'i'y and at th«' -am«' time are turning a deaf ear to picas for a safe road over tin Oregon mountain. And now that the season Is half gone, and nothing on thia section of the road having b , u done, is there , anyway to appeal to tin- reason of the .ones possessing discretionary, power? If not. perhaps a toll-gat«: could he install' d which, with its quick re sults, would be gladly welcomed by a suffering public. ( «PHIF It FROELIC. DELIVERED 10 1 DODGE BROS.
