Second Section Eyed
The commission expects, Immedi
ately after the opening of the first
.t.rt work on the remaining
slx-mlle unit which will take the
new route to the California line. Ap
proximately one and a half miles of
he lest unit, from the California
line toward the top of tha Slaklyous
can and will be graded, surfaced and
opened first. Approximately S7SO.0OO
to el.OOO.OOO will be needed for the
last six miles, according to estimates
of the highway officials.
The surfacing of the flrat 10 miles,
from Ashland to Siskiyou, will cost
approximately .300.000. This will be
a. macadam surface, according to the
present plana of the commission of
ficials. Talent Requesls lleclAlon
The highway officials also assured
representatlvea-of the city of Talent.
Messrs. Schumacher and Lowe, that
sometime In the near future the
commission would consider the re
quest of Talent that some definite
decision be made as to which route
would be followed In Talent -whether
the present route would be Im
proved or whether an entirely new
rout would ba made, Just below the
city of Talent.
Ray Schumacher, representing Tal
ent interests, said the city was de
sirous of Installing a new lighting
system, widening the main atreet
through Talent and doing other Im
provements which hinged upon what
route the commission decided to fol
low through Talent. A publlo hear
ing will be held, the commission aald,
before any decision Is made.
State Engineer Baldock atated tha
present Talent highway was deteri
orating and that something would
have to be done about It within the
next two or three years, either Im
provement of the present rout or
rerouting the highway directly thru
the business section aa at present,
or using an entirely new route, the
latter being favored from a strictly
engineering atsndpolnt, he stated.
lnpect rlnxa Curve
The commission members and of
ficials also Inspected the project of
taking the curve Out of the Pleaa
corner, which would require the
elimination entirely or partial re
moval of several buildings between
J. D. Mara and Son'a corner at Main
and Oak. and the Claycomb Oarage.
Chairman Cabell stated he would
have tha local highway engineering
department make a preliminary
blueprint of thla proposed project for
the consideration of the commission.
rilKklyou Route Vital
Assurance waa given by the com
mission members and officials that
the Siskiyou highway was considered
one of tiie most lmportsnt projects
In the state; that the Pacltlo high
way deserved more construction and
Improvement than In he past few
years, partly due to the fact that
the heaviest expense on tha coast
highway waa completed: that they
ownlrxl the Pacific highway would
always carry the heaviest traffic: :
and that they always had tha Inter
est of every part of the state at
heart.

Society of Friends, wrto believe In the
unit worth of the Individual more
than any other like organisation In
the United States.

Anyone who has visited that ward will
agree with me, I am certain."
