Group Taking Pack Trip to Agness Gold Beach-Several lenlsla lors. newspapermen, lumber men, and other Interested Ore gon residents left Selma Frl tiny mornlnK for Agness on a three-day pack trip down the. Illinois trail promoting the Gold Hcuch-Sclma rd. The group will arrive at Agnexg today and continue to Gold Beach by boat Monday. The existing route through the Illinois canyon begins with a poor-standard forest service administration rd. 1R miles from Selma with 30 mile; of trail from there to Oak Flat, about five miles from Agness. The trail climbs to 3,B0I1 feel to cross Bald mountain, loavlng the Illinois river. A low grade road leads from Oak flat to Agness. 'According to the promoters, a road through the Illinois canyon down the Rogue river to Agness would shorten the distance to Selma about 70 to BO miles, making Grants Pass about as close to Gold Beach as Coos Bay Is now. Presently the most feasible route from Gold Beach to Grants Pass Is through north ern California and la about a five-hour drive lo cover an air line distance of 58 miles. A road through the Illinois would also open up vast areas of timber presently untapped by any road as well as many miles of the Illinois river, presently unreachable, to fish ing, and more recreational area. The road would also form an all-Oregon route to the sea for lumber and other products from the upper Rogue area. Among thoso making the pack trip arc Representative Charles O. Porter (D-Orc); Representative Robert Dun' can (D-Mcdford); and Marcus Norton, Phoenix lumber dealer.
