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
