The Motorloggers Check Up on Road Con­

East of Salem
By Lawrence Barber
Staff Writer. The Oregonian
NCLE SAMS road builders
are gradually tying to­
gether the laM links of
the new North Santiam
South Santiam highways, faM
sister roads over the middle Cas­
cade range, designed to clip 50
miles from the motoring dis­
tances between Willamette valley
cities and the sparkling lakes and
colorful plateaus of central Ore­
gon.
This summer, for the first time,
motorists are already driving the
entire distance of the North San­
tiam highway on the new per­
manent grade. They encounter
clouds of dust, busy road-build­
ing machinery and bumpiness of
rough grading, but these Incon­
veniences are considered minor
to the average motoring Orego­
nian, who thrills in the explora­
tion of new highways, new moun­
tains, new rivers and new lakes.
U
Starts at Detroit
The new North Santiam high­
way starts at Detroit. 60 miles
east of Salem and Albany, ard
rises with easy grades and sweep­
ing curves up the North Santiam
river valley 32 miles to its junc­
tion with the South Santiam high­
way at Little Nash junction.
The South Santiam highway
starts its mountain climb near
Cascadia. 45 miles southeast of
Albany, and rises 35 miles up
the Santiam river to the junc­
tion at Little Nash. From that
point the combined highway
sweeps up the west Mope of the
over and drops down beside
sparkling Suttle lake and the tall
pines of the upper Metolius.
But the South Santiam high­
way is not yet opened to traffic.
A section of several miles about
midway between Cascadia and
Little Nash is to be built this
summer, and the entire grade,
although unsurfaced, will bo
opened for the public next sum­
and
mer. Meanwhile, Oregon’s un-
stoppable exploring motorists will
use the summer detour road
through the timber.
Little has been published about
these two new roads, becauM the
United States bureau of public
roads does not wish to encourage
travel upon uncompleted high­
ways. *
“There Is always the incon­
venience, discomfort and danger
of driving In clouds of dust, which
heavy traffic stirs up on unolled
roads,” explained H. D. Farmer,
senior highway engineer in charge
of forest highways in Oregon.
“Persons driving in dust tog face
the danger of head-on collisions
or of running off the road.”
So the North Santiam highway
is not yet being recommended as
a travel artery for the general
public.
Wide as Portland’s Broadway,
the new grade lacks much of
man’s finishing touch. Ten miles

route was not officially "dlscov-
ered” until 1928, three years after
a narrow, one-way road with
turnouts was constructed from
Niagara, eight miles above Mill
City, to Detroit to serve people
who previously had only a log­
ging railroad for their connection
with the outside world.
Begun In 1981
Ao soon as the preliminary In­
vestigation of the route was made,
the North Santiam was added to
the Mate system, and construc­
tion was started la 1931. From
that year to this the federal gov­
ernment has allotted about >100,-
000 annually for construction,
adding three to ten miles of grade
each year, and now and then a
bridge or two.
With the completion of the last
bridge over the river this month,
the North Santiam grade will be
entirely completed and the last
detour above Detroit will be elim­
inated.
But there Mill remains the 25-
mlle bottleneck below Detroit,

Rivers Scenic Streams
The Santiam route to attrac­
tive, too, from a scenic and tour­
ing Mandpoint Both the North
and South Santiam rivers are
scenic streams, rushing down
from the mountains through deep
canyons of rock and timber.
As the joint highway climbs
over the summit, fine views of
Mount Washington, the Three
8isters and Three-Fingered Jack
are played before the motorlM to
an endless panorama.
Dropping down the eastern
slope, the motorlM gets a Mrik-
ing view of Blue lake and Suttle
lake, surrounded by deep pine
timber far below. The road passes
the entrance to the Buttle Lake
lodge and forest recreation area
at the eastern end of the lake.

vicinity lead direct to the Meto­

The Half Moon service station,
store and four cabin auto court on
the Myrtle Point highway, a little
more than a mile from Coquille, was
totally destroyed by fire of unknown
origin about six o’clock last Friday
morning.
Mr. Butler, proprietor of the place,
was awakened by the crackling of
the flames and his first effort was to
get Mrs. Butler into their car and
across the highway to safety. He
then turned in the alarih and started
moving out as much as he could.
The fire department responded
with the chemical truck but the
flames had spread too rapidly to be
stopped. There was quite a pyro­
technic display for a few minutes as
the fireworks in the store were set
off.
The West Coast Telephone com­
pany’s through line to Roseburg was
destroyed by the fire but service was
interrupted less than two hours be­
fore temporary repairs were made.
Mr. Butler was operating the sta-
tion and court under leaae.

Grants Pass, informs the Sentinel
that in compliance with an amend­
ment to the federal fish and game
code, the illegal possession of fish or
game in a national forest will here­
after mean prosecution in the feder­
al court.
Heretofore, the offender
has been tried in the state’s courts.

Close harmony is an arrangement
