Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitched Mail Tribune Regional Editor The Ashland Chamber of Commerce "good will" tour to Siskiyou county Thursday, on which it was our pleasure to go along, proved rather conclusively that more communication between the Oregon and California branches of the State of Jefferson is necessary. Members of the Ashland group went down to Mt. Shasta and Dunsmuir a little apprehensive that the chamber folks down there would feel that the Mt. Ash land Ski development constituted competition for the Mt. Shasta ski area. The problem didn't materialize, however, because many of the businessmen there weren't even aware that a ski area was being built on Mt. Ashland. For the benefit of those who did know about it, the Ashland group pointed out that skiers like to have a variety of slopes on which to ski, and that therefore, having two ski areas within 100 miles of each other would probably attract more skiers to both areas. Another point the Californians seemed surprised and interested to hear was the fact that Crater Lake National park could be reached as easily from the Rogue valley side as from the Klamath Falls route. The Ashlanders stressed the beauty of the drive up highway 62 and the fact that the opening of Interstate S between Ashland and Medford, plus work on high way 62 around Prospect, will make that trip even faster. Advice From Dunsmuir Of the stops made by the Ashland delegation, the morning coffee hour at Dunsmuir seemed to be the most successful, thanks primarily to a fine job of organizing the meeting by the Dunsmuir chamber president. The Dunsmuir chambcrites presented some good basic infor mation on what it is like to be bypassed by a freeway. (Their town has been bypassed for tnree years now.) They said that business fell off for about four or five months, but then climbed up to the pre-freeway level in most cases. A few businesses, such as service stations, did have to close, particularly those that did not have a modern appearance. The Dunsmuir group also reported considerable success with a community billboard located on the freeway five miles south of town, advertising it as a nice place to stay and mentioning the city's claim to the best water in the world. The luncheon with the Mt. Shasta chamber was less successful. Because more people were present and be cause the Mt. Shasta organization held a business meet ing of its own during the luncheon, it seemed as though less was accomplished. But the Ashland group did get a chance to see the Shasta chamber's information booth, which is located on the main street through the city in front of the city hall. : The high point of the trip came when the carload with which we were traveling slopped at a Weed service station and, posing as tourists, asked the attendant whether to lake Highway 99 or 97 to Portland. The attendant first said either route was good, but, when questioned further, said 97 was shorter and faster. We wonder if the poor fellow realized he was being cross examined by the assistant to the president of Southern Oregon college, Dr. E. C. McGill. The attendant stuck to his contention that 97 was faster, however, despite some fairly extensive questioning about miles of free way, speed limits and such by Dr. McGill. Armed With Driving Time Figures Before going on the trip, Mrs. Walter Jones, chamber secretary-manager, obtained data from the state high way department showing that while 97 is three miles shorter than 99 between Weed and Eugene, there are 86 miles of freeway and 12 other miles of four lane road on 99 compared to no freeway and just four miles of four lane on 97. According to the AAA, the driving time via 99 is now 40 to 55 minutes shorter than via 97. The Weed chamber secretary indicated that members of her group like to maintain neutrality on the question. But she confessed that a delegation from Klamath Falls, Chemult, Bend and The Dalles came down to Weed last summer to promote tourism up the middle of the state. She suggested that the Ashland group make a luncheon date with the Weed chamber to present its case.

Improved Grayback Camp Area Opens Cave Junction - The Gray back recreation area, located on the Oregon Caves highway 12 miles east of here, opened to the public Friday, follow ing completion of extensive work on facilities. Work began at the area last November, under the federal accelerated public works pro grp.Ti, with planting of seed lings, which will eventually provide more privacy for campers.
