Whllo Sam Hill U planning hi
so-called cut-off on Ills so-called Con
trnl Oregon hlRhway throuRli Lako
county and Mllng the Portland par org
with reports of the advantages of tho
new routo, the ncoplo and the nows
pupors In the territory affected seem
to ho Rotting madder and madder
ovor what they call the "audacity" ot
tho man In coming Into tholr county
and telling them where their road
should run.
Tho Silver Lakq Leader has taken
the trouble to Interview a number of
residents In tho affected sections and
In Its latest Issue prints two columns
ot statements criticising the plan.
One ot the more picturesque (s tram
J. L, Clltr. a 10 year resident and tho
man tor whom the'town ot Cliff was
named, Mr. Cliff saldt
"That Is one h 1 ot a route for
itnyone ot Intelligence to propose.
Who Is proposing this thing anyway?
and who Is going to pay the bill! I
know ot no worse route, more cxpen
slvo one, than this last freakish prop
Pillion, It seems to me It would be
better for the County Court and tho
Commissioners to confer with the
tax-paying pobllo 111 this road-build-
ing matter and. not with Mr. Hill ot
Washington."
la the same issue tho Leader
makes a long statement on tho plan,
extracts from which follow;
"A few weeks ago when C. C. Chap
man, editor ot the Oregon Voter, told
tho public a few cold fact relative
to the failure and flagrant audacity
of Samuel Hill In his efforts at build
ing all the automobile roads ot two
states, we thought him a little bit
severe; but new that we are having
our own experiences with tho stu
pendous gall of the emtio Blind from
Maryhlll our opinio have rcpldly
changed.
"to the May 1st Issue ot the Voter,
Mr. Chapman said: 'It Mr, Hill ovor
spent n ilvo cent pleco of publlo mon.
cy In n way that grvo satisfaction to
tho public that ho was trying to
sorvo I novor honrd of It. In Wash
ington ho controlled tho oxpondltura
of millions and In Oregon ho dictated
tho road policy for tho oxpondltura
of thousands. Illttornoss, disappoint
mont nnd hard feelings havo follow
cd In his wako In both states.'
" 'Dltternoss;- that was what was
engendered tho day following Hill's
arrival hero and when It became
known that ho had Incubnted an Idoa
In highway construction for us as
craxy nnd tnaano as the aadd dunes
and thn dust storms and whirlwinds
look In tho desart thrauRh which his
propored routo runs. Tho audacity
ot the man Is making our citizens
vicious, for as Mr, Chapman says,
'Each district knows Its own needs
bettor than does an outsider,' and as
our own peoplo aro paying tho bills
and not Mr. Hill, our own pooplo will
no doubt settle nil these road ques
tions and at tho sume time settle that
disturbed condition of Mr. Hill's
head, so far as our own ronds aro
concerned.
"This high desert road as propos
cd by Mr. Hilt of Washington will
pass through a country of sand duhos,
rim rocks, whirlwinds and simoons,
and tt will be tho height of ridiculous
folly to allow him to evon turthor
I suggest such a thing, at least nt the
expense of tho tax payers ot Lake
county. If Mr. Hill and hla gum-shod
powers from the throne wish to
. tickle their fancy they are at liberty

pense, and r the proposed route Is
from SO to 40 miles from tho fertile
valleys In iLake ceuuty the road will
be a sort of private holding for Mr.
Hill, hla gum-shoe elect, and their
pals, the transcontinental overland
tourists.
"This, desert route goes through
a country that haa alwaya been
known aa the deserts of Lake county,
the same being uied by the stock
men as winter range, and can he used
only when the snow begins to fall,
which Is generally In December, when
cattle, horse and sheep lick up the
snow for drink. During December,
January and February the winds
blow and the mows drift through this
desert country, whteh rvry sleek man
In Lake eeunty knows. Kreti the
cowboys and sheep herder melt snow
tor their ej use,
"Over this prepoMd desert mute
there wll be cuts which will drift
full of mow and will be lmpaamble
for two or three months during the
winter. It U Claimed that the roads
are natural er already built to a
greater or leeeer degree; but the
facts are that during the .swing
months white te tsovt are ateHhsc

"Tho arguments of tho promoters
of the now lino aro that, tho distance
Is groatly shortened nnd that the

In tho matter aro that tho distance Is
shortoned very little, tho turns and
angles being about the somo as are
