The Ortfonlu Of ALL THE STORIES of fieroic figure that I loved a boy I itill cherish th talcs about eld Bill Bradley, a seml-legen-dary, bearded giant of a man who lived in mysterious solitude In the darlc forests of the wild North Umpqua river country. Bill Bradley had one of his sev eral mountain homes at Bradley flat on the North Umpqua ten miles above the mouth of Steam boat creek. There, more than 30 fears ago, a horse kicked Brad y to death and he was laid to rest in a grave in the quiet glade. I wonder what Bill Bradley would say, and what the Indians, whose bones long ago mingled with th dust of Caps Illahe, would say of modern times that have brought roads and automo bile into their primeval domain. Vhat would they think when earavaning automobiles stream cross Bradley flat this coming Jun 21 to dedicate a new road that forever will end the isola tion that, to them, was the charm f their rugged country? It was preview of this cara van trip, for which the Roseburg; Chamber of Commerce has in vited Governor Sprague, state highway officials and chambers of commerce of Klamath Falls and other cities, that the motor log automobile of The Orego-nian-Oregon State Motor associ ation made the 92-mile run over the new North Umpqua road be tween Roseburg and Diamond lake. Between Roseburg and Steam boat creek, distance 45 miles, the road has been completed for some years, a co-operative proj ect by the forest service and Douglas county. Construction above Steamboat, started in 1934, has been entirely by CCC Wuumnrtl "-'v !i I .V Thi lout taken by th motorlog car la mapped above. crews for the 23 miles between Steamboat and Big Camas ranger station. CCC road and powder crews and bulldozers were rushing work on the mountain grades to get them ready for the caravan. The dedication will be a trium phant occasion for central and western Douglas county resi dents who feel that they have re claimed a long-lost possession. Now they may reach Diamond lake, which is in their own county, without having to go through two other counties on the way. After a pleasant dinner at th Diamond Lake lodge, the motor log car departed to make a loop of the Journey by way of the new Willamette pass highway. At the Junction with the Wil lamette route, marked as state highway 58. we were an even 94 miles from Eugene and on a highway which, with completion of a final 3'4-mile link, probably by the middle of this month, will provide a high-speed transmoun tain artery of primary impor tance in the state's highway sys tem. The Willamette highway will have its official opening prob ably about the same time as the North Umpqua dedication. For our motoring trip, and until the final construction link is weld ed, there is a 16-mile detour be tween points Just west of the Cascade summit and 15 miles southeast of Oakridge. Southern Oregon chapter, Sons of the American Revolu tion, will be host to the state society at dinner in the Hotel Med ford, Saturday at 7:30.
