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.

There are more than 10,000
bcncf'vlnrlcs receiving social
security payments In the area
serviced by the Medford dis
trict office, according to Ed
ward B. Jucobson, district
manager.
These beneficiaries, resid
ing In Jackson and Josephine
counties, receive more than
$7,500,000 annually.
At tho end of 1BS0, as Fed
eral social security was start
ing its 25th year, old-age, sur
vivors and disability insur
ance monthly benefits were
being paid in Jackson county
to 7,000 persons ut the rate of
$431,431 a month. This Is an
increase In the number of
Jackson county beneficiaries
of about 9 per cent since Feb
ruary, 1050.
Nationally, about 13 mil
lion persons were receiving
old-age, survivors, and disa
bility insurance monthly ben
efits at the end of 1059 at an
annual rate of more than $10
billion, Jucobsen said.
At the close of 1940 - the
first year in which monthly
benefits were payable bene
ficiaries throughout the nation
totaled 200,000. Almost half
a million disabled worker
beneficiaries and their de
pendents receiving benefits at
a yearly rate of more than
$400 million are Included in
the figures for 1059.
The number of wives, hus
bands, and children of dis
abled worker beneficiaries
receiving monthly benefits in
creased sharply in 1959. Such
benefits were first payable for
September, 1958. Nationally,
from February to December,
1959, the number of these ben
eficiaries more than doublcd
from 60,000 to 126,000.
Payments to a retired work
er with no dependents receiv
ing benefits averaged $69 a
month ..Jtionally at the end
of last December; to a retired
couple, both of whom were re
ceiving benefits, the average
payment was $121. The aver
age for a widow with two
young children was $160.
By contrast, Jacobson said
that when benefits first be
came payable In 1940, the av
erage monthly payment to a
retired worker with no de
pendents receiving benefits
was $22, and to a retired cou
ple the average payment was
$36.
