County Judge Frank L. Ton Velle,
Engineer J. S. Howard nnd Frank
Khnndftfl, Accompanied by Messrs. M.
G. Lawrence, A. Hopkins and other
residents of Soda Springs, made n
rcconnisance Sunday of tio proposed
new highway over tho Siskiyous,
which will connect with Hie Califor
nia state highway nnd supercede His
present toll road.
"Wn find what nppenra to bo nn
excellent grade," states Judge Ton
Velle. "It is a grudunl slope, about
seven miles in length to summit nnd
will not exceed six or eight per cent
in the steepest places. It has east
ern and southern exposures and will
be readily dried after rain. It in n
picturesque route nnd will add great
ly to tho nttrnctiveness of tho Pa
cific highway.
"At the California border tho rond
will connect with a proposed grade
to be built that will eliminate the
present steep grades on the Califor
nia side.
"Engineers IToward and Rhoaden
will begin actual surveying this week
and locate the new road. They esti
mate its cost at from $30,000 to
$35,000. We will probably have to
await tho issuance of bonds to bo
pjia construct as there is not enough
money on band and the Ashland rond
district bos refused to pay its pro
portion of the road tax."
