ILLINOIS VALLEY
Work Progresses on Bridges
By FRANK STRICKLAND
Cave Junction Work is pro
gressing on two massive con
crete bridges which when com
pleted will span the east and
west forks ol the Illinois river
near here. They will carry U.S.
Highway 199, the "Redwood
highway," which runs from
Grants Pass 40 miles to the
northeast to Crescent City 55
miles to the southwest.
The H. & H. Motel is under
going remodeling and redecora
tion, with hardwood floors, new
paint and other improvement
Other motels in the area are also
prepared for the tourist season,
and many of them have shade
trees, lawns, flowers, lawn furni
ture and other attractions. A few
have access to rivers and some
have swimming pools, riding
horses for rent, and trout fish
ing available.
The Illinois Valley Chamber
of Commerce is at work prepar
ing a valley folder to send pros
pective tourists. The folder will
describe the area and its at
tractions. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Duncan
recently opened the "Paint
Pot," a store to handle General
Paint company products. It is
located between the bakery and
the Illinois Market. Duncan is
a painter, floor-sander and lin
oleum layer on the side.
One of the latest improve
ments in Cave Junction is the
new Illinois Market, opened re
cently by Homer Smith and Bill
Carter. The store, located next
to the Illinois Valley bakery,
carries hundreds of food items
including fresh meat and is open
long hours including Sundays
and holidays. The owners came
here from Waldport, Ore.
The Illinois Valley Cleaners,
Cave Junction, has provided an
outside window receptacle to
receive garments for cleaning
which arrive before or after
business hours.
Logging trucks, once' the dread
of visiting motorists to this reg
ion, are gradually passing- out of
the picture, and many of the saw
mills they supplied have closed
down. Time was when there
were so many log trucks on the
roads around here that some mo
torists by-passed the region . to
avoid them. Scarcity of available
timber is the reason given for
closing the mills.
July 7 through 8, there was
what old timers called the hot
test weather on record ior this
area. Temperatures ranged from
80 to 90 at mid-day to 65 or 70
at night. The valley is less than
40 miles from the coast and
usually enjoys the benefit of
ocean breezes.
A mother doe and twin fawns
standing in the center of state
Highway 238 brought us to a
dead stop in the Applegate area
last Monday. A blast of the horn
cleared them out so fast one of
the babies slipped on the smooth
pavement and fell underneath a
front wheel which, fortunately,
was not in motion.
A general information booth
has been installed at the junc
tion of U.S. 199 and State 46
in Cave Junction by the opera
tors of Oregon Caves 20 miles
east. Mrs. Cora Masoner will be
in charge of the attractive log
structure during morning hours
and Mrs. Blanche Lacky, both
of Cave Junction, will take care
of it afternoons. A two-way
pictorial bulletin 10 by 30 feet
in size, advertising the Caves,
is being erected at the booth lo
cation by M. M. Outdoor Adver
tising Co., ' Crescent City. A
similar sign, but larger, bearing
same copy and pictures will also
be erected at the junction of U.S.
199 and U.S. 101 immediately
north of Crescent City.
Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Banks
bought one of the houses being
moved because of the realign
ment of Highway 199. They
have placed it on another lot
and plan to redecorate it.
A number of property owners
in this area have been comp
laining about tread tractor be
ing permitted to tear up the
surface of improved roads in
the valley..

His Last Switch in Motor Cars !
We Lave no way of knowing, of course)
how many different makes of motor cars
this gentleman has owned through the
years. But we'd wager that he has changed
' his preference a great many times in his
years on the highway.
And we're also willing to bet that he has
now made his lost switch in motor carsl
For this time it's a Cadillac! And it is
historically true that once a motorist
makes the move to the "car of cars", he is
usually a Cadillac owner for life.
What are the reasons for this great devo
tion and loyalty? Well, let us count them off.

First of all, there are the things which
everyone recognizes in Cadillac. There is its
great beauty ... its matchless luxury . . .
and the unquestioned respect which the
car commands the world over.
Then there are those qualities with
which anyone who has ever driven a
Cadillac is familiar. There is its marvelous
comfort and ease of handling ... its
magnificent power and performance . . .
and its wonderful balance and agility.
And, finally, there are those things
which only Cadillac owners themselves can
fully appreciate. There is the car's remark-
