HARNEY COUNTY, OREGON, MARCH 28, 1925 NO. 22 -- v jr v . v - , IMPROVE CENTRAL ORE GON HIGHWAY, OBJECT Harney and Deschutes Counties Join Forces; Permanent Sur- vey; Repair Temporary. Representatives of tho llontl com mercial club mid tho Dcschutcn coun ty 'court, who wore accompanied by C. W.

Tho mooting provod qulto successful In that the delegations settled upon a plan of action that should brine re sults. Engineer Wanzcr tooka keen In terest In tho conference and whllo he xave out the fact that ho was sure tho statu highway commission wai favorublo to giving tho Central Ore gon highway any assistance within Its powor, yet It would not put out any money on anything but a per manent road. It was docldod that the two coun ties would Jointly ask tho state high way commission to mako a doflnlto and permanent survey of tho route from n point Just this side of tho Harney county lino to Hrooklngs on a proposed routo to tho north of Glass Huttos, thus eliminating a bad strutch of sovornl miles that Is al most entirely In Lake county. Mr. Wanzor was consulted on tho mat ter and oxprossod tho belief that tho -commission would look kindly upon such a proposition If tho counties would hIiow a disposition to do some permanent work on tho routo. It was tho souse of tho meeting that no attempt would bo made at this time to havu tho entire route constructed -up to hlyhwny require ments but that a reasonable grado be constructed to care for tho tralllc that will use it for tho next few years. Of course this arrangement would necessitate the maintenance be enred for entirely by the counties as tho state highway commission would not ha expected to lake earn of the upkeep of such a road. TIih new routo would place tho highway almost entirely In Harney and Definite counties. olltnlii.iUiig nil but about four miles In Luke Tho liond delegation showed keen Interest In the proposed road and ox pressed a willingness to cooperate In overy way possible. It Is tho Inten tion of the respective county courts to repair tho present routo for tem porary use and tho travel may bo assured of tho route being in butter shape within a short tlmo and this will bo continued until the now per manent routo is surveyod and put in shapo for travel.

James Glrard, onglneor In chargo of tho Fred Herrick Lumber activi ties in this city, yesterday morning confirmed tho roport that tho work on tho railroad grado between Uurns mid Hear valey would begin nt once. The fact Is that several contractors havo been engaged In work during the winter, but additional contracts have boon lot. Mr. Glrard stated positively that Ameson had boon given n contract for tho heavy cuts and fills on tho routo on the upper Poison creek sec tion. The Arncson contract Is for work Joining the end of the present grade on Poison creek mid on up to ward tho summit of tho mountain. It includes eight bridges as well au heavy rock and fill work. Mr. Glrard annouucod to a repre sentative or this paper that Mr. Klo buchor, construction engineer on tho rnllroad work, wns In Portland whoro ha wnn purchasing a steam shovol, a compressor and also nocossary wheels axles mid Irons for tho construction of dump enrts that will bo used in the work. Tho dirt from tho cuts may thus bo carted to the fills. When It wns suggested that tho stoam shovel might be used in ex cavating for the log pond nt tho mill site Mr. Glrard explained that it was not tho intention to do much exca vating ns It was much more practical and far less expense to build a dike to hold tho water from tho warm springs for a log pond. Ho quickly convinced tho writer that bo know what ho was talking about with n few figures which Indicated a differ ence or perhaps $70,000 in tho cost. It Is also reported that work will likely begin In tho near futuro on the change In tho Central Orogon highway, permission for which has boon granted by tho stnto Jilghwny commission. This change is askod lu order to run tho highway west of tho mill site. Tho now routo will continue tho snme tnngont ns at present where the new highway con nects with the old Geer lane and continue on toward the foothills mid skirt tho hills until It again conver ge with the present route below tho warm springs. During thu week It Is statod that several contractors havo gone out over tho rnllornd route toward Roar valley mid that several strctohes of grado havo boon contractod. James Glrard, chief engineer In chargo of tho Derrick activities having announ ced to frlond that II. A. Arncson bad contracted for two iiiIIob of heavy construction on tho routo between HuniB nnd Hoar valley. Mr. Arnoson wiib hero during tho wook nnd has gono out to outside points, presum ably to nssomblo oqulpmont and noc ossary working forco to bogln ton structlon work ns soon as possible Everything points to Immediate activity In tho nrllroad building lino and things will bo humming along lu flno shnpe within tho next two weeks, o PLEAD GUILTY TO PHOIIIMTION VIOLATION J. 11.
