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 duction included C. B. McCullough, assistant chief engineer, Howard Merriam of Goshen, president of the Oregon Pacific highway asso­ ciation. H. B. Glaisyer, secretary of the highway commission. Mayor T. S. Wiley of Ashland. Leslie M. Scott of Portland, state treasurer elect and chairman of the high­ way commission when the Siski­ you improvement was initiated. Judge J. B. Coleman of Jackson county. Mayor C. C. Furnas of Medford and State Senator George W. Dunn of Ashland. Various of­ ficials and civic leaders of north­ ern California cities and Siskiyou county also were introduced. Funeral services for Milton C. Lininger, 67, long-time business­ man of Ashland who died here Wednesday following a long ill­ ness, will be held at 2 p. m. Satur­ day at the Church of the Breth­ ren The Rev. F. H. Barr of Myrtle Point will officiate, and burial will be in Mountain View cemetery.
