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

Cave Junction - The Gray

work on facilities.
Work began at the area last
November, under the federal

overnight camping in the area
and a large section is re
served for picnic uses.
Also constructed was a new
water system with a 2,600
gallon tank and automatic
chlorinator. Finishing touches
were put on the comfort sta
tions. There is no charge for use
of the picnic area, but start
ing June 24 a $1 charge will
be made for overnight camp
ing. The forest service has
labeled some of the different
types of trees in the area so
that visitors may identify
them.
Why did we hang this old-fashioned sign in our newfangled brewery?
Everything about our Rainier brewery is bright and gleaming
and modern and new. Except one thing. The kind of welcome
we give you. In this respect, we have to admit we've fallen
behind the times. We still treat visitors in the warm, old
fashioned, friendly way we did back in 1878. Come see us, see
how our great beer is made. The welcome sign is always out. Rainier Beer
