SHERMAN HIGHWAY
Reason« for the formation of a Sherman Highway A««o-
ciatio t or some «imilar a««ociation to work for the comple
tion of the Sherman highway, Federal highway 97, are plen
tiful enoaqh Rnd «ome very important reason« will occur to
everyone who gives consideration to the subject.
While the Sherman Highway is a part of a road that
runs from the Mexican to tho Canadian border it is separ-
^hte in itself. It doe« lie in two countie« and cooperation
Iwtween those countie« in getting improvement to tho road
ha« not been in evidence. Wa«co county people in the
north end ju«t don’t do anything about the road.
Consolidation of «entiment in favor of the highway by
an association devoted solely to Improvement of the road
will bring together the people of southern Wasco county
and of Sherman county. As a unit they may be able to do
something that each group working alone has not been
able to do.
_
•
There has been little work done on this road since the
late twenties when the Grass Valley-DeMoss section was
rebuilt except for maintenance.
Other roads have been improved in that time and new
roads haveheen started, built and finished. The competing
highway that runs from Lakeview to Burns to Pendleton
and on north has been built, the O.I.N. road has been sur
veyed and still this route, the one marked as a federal road
by federal engineers has not received enough work to keep
it in proper shape for travel.
Heavy trucks pound it during the winter when other
routes are closed and tho work is done on tho other routes
when spring comes. The Sherman highway is restricted
from getting as much traffic as it normally should because
of th« few mile« of gravel at the «outh end. That condition
should ba remedied immediately. .
If the people who live along tho road do not take a
personnel and active interest in its welfare they canndt
expect tha highway commission to take much interest eith
