A 8 WEDNESDAY. JULY 10. 1963 MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Regional Roundup By Clev Twltchell Regional Editor The May-June issue of "California Highways and Public Works, contains two interesting articles about the freeway construction through the Sacramento River canyon between Dunsmuir and Red ding. The magazine is the of ficial journal of the Division of Highways and the Depart ment of Public Works of tne State of California. One of the articles concerns actual construction of the most recently completed six-mile stretch, south of Castella This project was the one which was delayed somewhat by slides. Reading the article brought to mind the rather classic statement made in a letter to us from H. S. Miles, district engineer, last Scptenv ber. He was discussing the problem posed by efforts at stabilization of the suae ana remarked that a "more satis factory" solution was found "This", he said "consisted of shifting the alignment of the new highway partially away from the slide, moving the railroad tracks, and construct' ing a new channel for the Sacramento river." History Related The other article relates some of the history of the canyon route, first as an In dian path, next as a trail and then a primitive highway at a cost of some $300 per mile. The freeway now completed cost $1 million per mile. Farther down the road bids are now being invited on construction of a 12.3 mile stretch of freeway from a point two miles north of Red ding south to a point Just north of Anderson, Calif. We take this description to mean the freeway will bypass Red ding. Approximately $7,702, 600 has been budgeted for this stretch of road. Oregon Roads Praised As a footnote to the above, we might mention that sev .eral California friends have remarked to us on visits here recently how much they con sider . Oregon freeways su perior to those in California. The two principal features of Oregon freeways the Call fomlans seem to find most im pressive are the. solid white lines on the outsides of each lane and the provision made for a' full lane's width of emergency area on the shoulders.

Josephine Unemployment Rate Drops Grants Pass-The Josephine county rate of unemployment dipped to 4.8 per cent during June, marking the lowest rate for that period since June, 1959, according to Don Stiff- ler, manager of the Grants Pass office of the State -Em. ployment Service. The county's employed civilian work force is now nearing the 10,000 mark, said Stiff ler, with a small expan- s i o n in woodworking and tourist industries expected to continue through July. Worker increases within the plywood industry have ac counted for the major share of new employment. Workers employed at local plywood plants during May totaled 1,025, an increase of 24.5 per cent over May, 1962. In creases in other industries have also taken place, but to a lesser degree. Stiffler also reported that minors seem to be finding work more plentiful this year. The number of work permits issued to minors in June, he said, increased 59.7 per cent from those a year earlier. Fourth Avenue In Gold Hill Closed to Loaded Log Trucks Gold Hill Loaded logging trucks traveling within the city of Gold Hill are now prohibited from using Fourth ave. At the July session of the city council, Mayor Richard Straus and council members favored action to route all loaded logging trucks on high way 234, and to have signs posted designating it as a truck route. Chief of Police Bill Young was authorized to inform drivers and to enforce the regulation. Route 234 Is a state highway. The decision was made after a lengthy discussion in regard to the increased traf fic of loaded logging trucks on Fourth ave. Principal rea son for routing loaded log ging trucks on highway 234 is to prevent possible damage to city streets by heavily load ed trucks and hazards at cor ner of Fourth ave. and Sev ent st., and at Second ave. when pulling from Seventh st. onto the highway. Radar Signs Planned It was decided that "Speed Checked By Radar" signs should be posted at all Gold Hill city entrances which in clude the following locations Talent Mayor Appoints Planners Talent-Eight persons, four of them from within the city of Talent and four living out side the city limits, were ap pointed to the Talent Planning commission last night by May or Wayne Reichstein.
