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. It is understood that when the
