The Ashland Tiding de-eribes the
new Siskiyou highway route laid
out by Kngineer .1. S. llownrd nnd
Division Kngineer V, A. Kittridge of
the State Highway commissien:
Considering the nature of the
country through which the road is to
lie constructed the work of grading
has been much simplified by the very
efficient engineering. Then' is but
one place where there is niiy utuonnt
of overhaul (that is, of hauling dirt
so far as to compel the payment of
extra charges for the distance), and
there is practically no waste dirt and
very little ''barrow" work. Th s is
n lvmarkablv good showing. Titer,
has been some talk, probably ema
nating from the disgruntled contrac
tors who had declared their determi
nation to "p't"' Major Howlhv. that
there had been money and time
wasted in engineering. As n matter
of fact, in mountain work more than
one line is nearly always run before
getting the most economical location,
and the extra expense of engineering
is thus sned ninny times over in the
grading nnd construction of Hu
ron d.
No ltnllroiul Crossings
The maximum crude, nt any point
does not exceed tl per cent and tin
maximum curve is a 100-foot radius.
On nil cune.s the outside is raised,
thus eliminating any tendency to
ward skidding, nnd enabling autos to
safely negotiate curves nt a speed of
twenty miles per hour.
Ono feature of the road which
should nppcal to all is that there wit1
not he n grade crossing of anv rail
road outside of the limits of town-,
and cities. This would avoid nil dan
cer of collisions. The state hmhwnvl
engineer holds that where he -peed -- i

There will be two overhead cross
ings of the railroad, both between
the station of Stcinmau and tin
Dollarliide toll gate. At the lower
crossing the road makes a complete
loop. It goes up parallel witli tin
railroad track nt n height of from
two to four feet nhoe the track it
a cut of about eighteen feet in depth,
swings to the left in a large eircli
nnd crosses over both the wngor
road and the railroad wi:h n -ingle
cement bridge, nnd citing a clear
ance of twenty-two feet oxer the
rails of the railroad track. This is
at a point on the passing track n
short distance above Stcinmnn. In
places tho route passes through
heavy timber, while nt other times it
comes out where it hns beautiful
views, of the mountains and valley.
Itoute of (ireat Henuty
In locnting the highway tho engi
neers have taken into consideration
tho matter of water for horse ant'
automobile nnd there will be sevcrn
watering troughs along the line, t
which pure t-pring water will h
piped.
Taken altogether, tho route nil'
bo ono of great beauty nnd rcoiiora;
of construction nnd use. The inoiin
tains are crossed at an delation "
,.r)00 feet, or :7"j feet higher tha
that attained by the railroud, this
being necessary from the fuel llm
there are no tunnels in the wagon
road, while one tunnel a mile or more
in length passes under- the- crest ot
the mountain on tho nrilroail.
