PLAN IE TUNNEL
IN OREGON CAVES
A new tunnel will be constructed
In -the Oregon Caves this spring If
planes are approved In time by na
tional park officials In Washington,
It was stated today by David Can-
field, administrator of the national
monument. The blueprints were
submitted some time sgo and early
approval Is anticipated, Mr. Can ft eld
said.
Purpose of the new tunnel Is to
facilitate the progress of visitors
through the caves so that more par
ties can be accommodated In a given
time. About six weeks would be re
quired for the contemplated Improve
ment, with CCO men doing the work.
Mr. Can field related.
The proposed tunnel would extend
spur to the main tunnel and would
obviate the retracing of steps by the
visitors, Mr. Canfleld explained. The
rpur has a dead end so that sight
seers must retrace their steps to thu
main tunnel. While one group is
in the spur, others must watt at tho
entrance. Under the proposed ar
rangement one party will bo able to
follow closely after another.
