T he J ac ksonville OUR DOWNTOWN OFFICE The five-year plan oi «t Crater na tional forestry service, as outlined to a representative of The Miner by K. L. Janouch. director of the Medford office, will include many new roads, trails and improvements in the Applegate section. Prominent among these will be the building of a road from the Applegate post office to Bryan creek and up ovei the divide in back of the Oregon caves and south to the California line. This will complete all but approximately three miles of the Applegate to Oregon caves road. When this stretch is com pleted it will be necessary only to build from the divide to the caves. However this last short stretch will have to be constructed by the Siskiyou national forestry division as it lies just outside the Crater boundary. No definite information could be ob tained as to when actual work will start on this new project. Mr. Janouch stated that although plans are completed, building of the road cannot begin until appropriations are made by congress and the work ordered by the Portland office. It is hoped that the Portland of ficials will take some action by Feb ruary 1. When completed this develop ment will connect Jacksonville directly with the Oregon caves and divert a large amount of traffic through this route.
