DEPT. STORE POIITLAND. Ore., Dec. 14. To urge the construction of the last gap In the Crater Lake road, a Jackson county delegation has arrived to meet the stato highway commission. Therp remain nine miles between Prospect and Trail to be graded and surfaced to complete the road from the lake to Mcdford, Jackson coun ty already lias expended $500,000 on the highway. The cost of the nine miles of grading and macadam Is es timated, roughly, at $300,000, and tho Jackson county court wants the work done as a cooperative project between the highway commission and the government. The commis sion is said to view the matter fa vorably In order that the stato can reap the .benefit on tho money al ready invested In the road. O. A. Gardner, judge of Jackson county, says that the nine miles can be graded In winter this winter and be completed before tho travel starts next season. This section Is along tho Rogue river, and there Ib no way for a detour. Because of this particular situation. Judge Gardner Is eager to hare the contract let and the work started during the winter so that the grade will be in readiness for the traffic la spring. It Is said that government men want a sur facing placed on another section of the highway. The county Is willing to agree that if the nine mile section in graded the county will run water wagons on the dusty division which the government wants surfaced.
