ASHLAND TIDINGS
FILES FIRM PLEA
FOR CUT OFF ROAD
BlronR editorial endorsement of
the proponed Williams Creek rond
lb fffven ly the Anhjand TUHjikk,
in Its Ismio of Saturdny, as fol
lOWM "Southern Orepon. particularly
Jackson county, has nlwny been
progressive in the matter of honey-combing
the country with Im
proved highways.
.'"As a part of that progressive
hlfrtiwny program the county, ut
nn Initial cost of more than $300.
000 constructed u highway which
extended through Jacksonville and
IlUch nnd clown tho A?ilogntft
river to tho mouth of Williams
creek. Then tho 'Williams creek
district residents exterfded the
highway Into a market rood well!
up to the head of the creek. j
"To complete this cut-off It will;
lit' necessary to construct a road j
through the Siskiyou nutinnal for i
est a project which is generally !
known oh the 'Williams Creek Cut-'
I "Ashland community through !
the ehamhor of commerce repre
sentatives, -has given this pro
itosed road unqualified approval.
JI'Tho Ashland Dally Tidings lik-
wlse has approved the project. We
yivo. given our endorsement, lmsed
ft) the merits of the proposition.)
i'The proposed cut-off rond I
would provide a more direct route!
for tourists coming north on tho .
J ted wood highway to visit Oregon
Caves, Crater lake nnd the nkr
region In Klamath county. It
would tnko tho tourist through th
beautiful rich Williams creek pud
Applegatn sections and would
further stimulate development of
thot nrea. And It will shorten
materially the distance for Ash
lrn1 and other Jackson county and
eastern Oregon folks who wish to
visit tho Pacific ocean.
"One-way roads to natural won
der's or recreational points nre not
sfttiflfactory the loop highway
drawn- the maximum patronage
tho Williams creelc cut-off road
would provide!' that loop hlghwuy
to the wonders of tho Hogue rlvor
valley 'and southern Oregon.
"Then there Is tho matter of
freight rates from the 'coast to
further tho cnuso of the proposed
highway extension. 1'ntil such
time ns a railroad leads directly
from tho const to tap this sec
tion of the Htute, the only
hope
of getting n reduction In freight
rates. Is through development "f ,
highways over wmch freight can)
pass. Kvery increase In traffic '
fncilltles will serve to aid In this
direction. '
"The Williams creek cut-off Is
a' project for which southern Ore
gon can make a united effort for
success.
