Highway History Reveals Early Project Routes (Editor's note This is the third in a aeries of articles on Oregon's highway history pre pared by the highway com mission.) By Ralph Wation Highway Department Writer The 1913 legislature, when it setup the first state highway ma chinery, specified that the state highway engineer was to make a general state highway plan of the state. Within one year from the effective date of the law he was to prepare a map of the main highways which, in his judgment, were of sufficient im portance to be designated as a system of trunk or state roads to be improved and maintained at the cost of the state. This map was to be approved and adopted by the commission. A djrect tax levy of one-fourth mill on the assessed valuation of the state was provided for fi nancing the state highway com mission in its operations. State Highway Engineer H. L. Bowlby submitted the map one year to the day from the effec tive date of the law, or on June 3, 1914. It was adopted Sept. 5, 1914. bv Highwav Commission ers Oswald West, Ben W. Olcott and T. B. Kay. This map out lined: The Columbia highway, start ing at Seaside, running through Astoria,' along the Columbia to Pendleton, then northeast through Milton to the Washing ton state line. A branch, not named, diverged at Pendleton to run southeast through La Grande, Baker and Huntington to the Idaho line. The "Oregon Beach highway," starting at Seaside and running south along the coast to the Cali fornia line. Pacific Highway The Pacific highway, starting at Portland and following the general line of the present high way 99-E south to Ashland and the California boundary. The "Capitol highway" was project ed along the general route of the present 99-W from Portland to Albany where It joined the east side line. The Dalles-California highway ran south from The Dalles through Redmond to Klamath Falls and California's line. The Central Oregon highway started south from Wasco, to run through Prineville and on south to Lakevicw. An east-west line ran from Eu gene, via the McKenzie river, to Redmond and Prineville. Anoth er projected east-west line left the central Oregon trunk road at Milligan and headed for Burns and on to Ontario. Those trunk lines represented the state highway construction basis until the 1917 legislature set up the present three-man 'Commission, passed the $6 mil lion bonding act and put the highway construction into high gear.
