BY RICHARD NOKES
Nlfht City Editor, Trie Oresonlan
Nature was exceedingly kind
to Oregon's coast.
She scattered pure white sand
along the beach, she planted
evergreen trees to where the
water foams, she laid mountains
to the ocean's edge and then
took a handful of rocks left
over and tossed them into the
surf where the waves could
pound them and the sea anem
ones could grow.
It was such a mecca that
called us one recent week end
as we climbed into the white
Ford of the Oregon State Motor
association.
Before the journey was over
we found the week-end motorist
or the Sunday driver can enjoy
these wonders as well as the
family who has a week or two
of vacation time.
A quick turn around the loop
from Portland, out Sunset high
way to Seaside, down the coust
to Tillamook and back to the
city via picturesque Wilson
river highway can be done in
one day. And with time in the
middle for a picnic and suri
bathing at the state park al
Short Sand beach.
The entire journey is approx
imately 200 miles, the highways
are in excellent condition all the
way d the new stretch ol
Sunsv. Highway through North
Plains is completed, which elimi
nates the maddening experience
ot driving the choked, curved
hignwiiv through Hillsboro and
Forest Grove.
The humble but picturesque
scais of tlie Tillamook burn, the
world's greatest forest lire, si ill
stretch mile afti r mile on either
highway. But they are softened
by green undergrowth, the wild
currant, and by the Port Orf.ird
cedars that have been planted
along the highways by various
uuth groups in recent years

making time, the journey could
easily nave been made 30 min
utes more rapidly.
Immediately south of Cannon
Beach one begins to notice signs
of new prosperity. New motels,
new beach homes and new busi
ness establishments have ap
peared since the highway de
partment has flung the solid
concrete avenue across the face
of Neahkahnie mountain con
necting Tillamook and Cannon
Beach and making our Sunset
Wilson loop possible.

Rustic p.i h It 'id- to Short Sand
way must rank as among the
most beautiful In Oregon, even
In the nation. It moves from sea
level at Cannon Beach to a third
of the way up the side of 1710
foot Neahkahnie mountain, then
plunges again to sea level just
before reaching Manzanita.
But all the grades are to
gradual that even the most ven
erable of motor cars will scarce
ly be pressed to a deep wheeze.
Just before coming to Neah
kahnie (home of the Indian fire
spirit) is Short Sand beach
pride of State Park Superin
tendent Sam Boardman,
Short Sand beach is a mile off
the highway, but the state park
service has cut a rustic path
through huckleberry, virgin Um
ber, Oregon grape, sword fern,
twice across an excellent fishing
stream to the beach itself.
The climb from Short Sand
across Neahkahnie is only three
miles. But it took Sam Reed
and other pioneer residents of
Neahkahnie nearly 30 years to
persuade the highway commis
sion to construct that three
miles. Before 1941, the only
way over was a pack trail. It
was the completion of the ocean
side link of 101 that brought
new prosperity to this region.
Manzanita, immediately south
of Neahkahnie, also shows signs
of prosperity.
The towns and resorts south
of Manzanita are familiar to
most Oregonians Nehalem,
Wheeler, Brighton, Manhattan,
Rockaway, Barview, Garibaldi,
Bay City.

i rogresses upwards through the
Coast range, ever following the
rippling Wilson river through
the burn toward its headwaters
The highway is beautifully e
gineered with no steep graf
and no horseshoe turn'
plague the driver.
A picnic supper served on the
lawn by the leaders and troop
committees consisted of buns
with wieners to roast on the fire
place, baked beans, fruit and
vegetable salads, relishes, toast
ed marshmallow sandwiches, so
da pop and coffee. Mrs. Cohn had
the record player loud speaker set
up near the tables so the guests
were able to enjoy beautiful mu
sic all through the evening.

Arguments advanced for the
construction of federally-financed
access roads into public for
ests emphasized the necessity of
an adequate road system for fire
protection and cultural forestry
practices as well as for the har
vesting of timber. It was pointed
out that while present cutting in
private forests may exceed the
growth under a sustained yield
program, the cut on federal for
ests in the west does not exceed
two-thirds the allowable annual
cut and that access roads in the

executive vice president of v FIA,
"because without them public
timber must be offered in such
large units that the average log

is thus at a disadvantage in com

which also control most of the
private timber. Regardless of
whether roads are built by the
government or by the operators
the cost is actually paid by the
timber itself and funds appropri

The association's statement al
so stressed the importance of ac
cess roads as a matter of nation
al defense pointing out that
much of the readily available
timber was cut during World War
II and that in case of another
war there would not be time to
build roads into the timber to
get the large quantities of wood
necessary to supply the armed
forces and to house defense
workers.
