It IS A Primary Highway
Some of our citizens have become aroused over
what they deem a discrimination against Hepp
ner in the matter of highway signs. The princi
pal agitation has arisen with regard to the high
way sign in Pendleton which directs people to
Heppner via the Pilot Rock route, or more proper
ly, the Oregon-Washington highway.
It is regrettable that the signpost at the west
side of Pendleton on Highway 30 does not in
clude Heppner, but Heppner is not on Highway
30 and the rule of posting directions calls for
placing towns not situated on through highways
on the signposts at junctions leading to points
on feeder or secondary routes. That accounts for
directions pointing to Heppner being on the Oregon-Washington
(No. 74) highway and not on
Highway 30.
A good many people may not be aware that
No. 74 is a primary highway. It was so set up in
the beginning. It is not adapted to the heavy
hauling of the present day but with completion
of the surfacing between Lena and Nye Junction
hauling conditions will be improved. So far as
passenger traffic is concerned, more people
should be encouraged to travel the hill route,
particularly after the surfacing job is completed.
It is a picturesque route and offers a broad con
trast to the lower rolling and valley route. So far
as the hills are concerned, the upgrade and down
grade are about equal, thus compensating gas
consumption. It at least offers an alternate route
to those who have occasion to drive to Pendleton
and points beyond and not wishing to use the
same highway going and coming.
As pointed out in the chamber of commerce, no
move should be made to eliminate any sign
pointing this way. The thing to do is to get more
signs. We should not be too modest about our
region. Neither should we feel so smug that we
don't want to share what we have. Be that as it
may, it is reasonable to conclude that we don't
holler until we think we're hurt.
