HIWAY OPENING
! DRAWS 500 TO
MOUNTAINTOP
A TORE than 500 persons throng-
1 ed the Oregon-California state
line Tuesday afternoon to witness
dedication ceremonies which for
mally opened the new section of
the Pacific highway—No. 99
which transform« the steep slopes
and deep canyons of the Siskiyou
range into a fast, gently-curved
high speed roadway.
The cere
monies, which drew Oregon's
Governor Charles A. Sprague as
main speaker, were held on the
border line near summit of the
Siskiyou’s -the United States’ on
ly range of mountains running
east and west and were set
against a panorama of snow-
crested mountain peaks bathed in
sunshine.
"This is a historic route," Gov
ernor Sprague said as he traced
use of the Siskiyou pass from
the early Spanish pioneer days in
California. "As it is now improv
ed, it will render great service to
the people of both states."
Just as the Siskiyou section of
the Pacific highway was improv
ed in spite of adverse economic
conditions that existed when the
improvement was begun, so will
other sections of the highway,
such as the "corkscrews" above
Grants Pass, be improved, the
governor declared.
Governor Sprague and Walter
Ballou, secretary of the California
state highway commission who
represented Gov. Culbert L. Olson,
each standing on his own side of
the state line and each holding a
pair of scissors, cut the riboon
stretched across the highway and
thus symbolically again opened
the flow of traffic between the
two states. Huron Clough. Oregon
state highway commissioner, held
the ribbon.
R. H. Baldock. Oregon state
highway engineer, translated the
improvement statistics into trav
eling comfort meaning. He said
the newest Siskiyou section saved
about 3 *«i miles and eliminated
the numerous hairpin curves and
cut-backs that had made travel
over the Siskiyous a driving or
deal. All curves were reduced or
flattened, he added. Cost of the
improvement in Oregon, he re-
minded his audience, was $1,934,-
000, of which the federal govem-
ment provided $1.250,000.
Commander A. W. Scott of San
Francisco, the Greyhound bus
line’s "ambassador of good will."
was master of ceremonies and
kept the proceedings going at a
fast and Interesting pace. Other
Oregonians called to the impro
vised speaker's platform for intro
