The route is denoted on this diagram by a dotted line. It would run east of the existing Highway route through the canyon from Yreka to a point two miles north of the Klamath River road- Highway 99 junction. The diagram shows the alternate as "green revised," referring to the fact that the original proposed route through the canyon was called the "green" route, while a proposal to put the freeway through the Shasta Valley was designated the "brown" route.

Freeway Route That Would Avoid Canyon Proposed YREKA -When motorists travel between Medford and Yreka a few years from now, they may no longer have to drive through the Shasta and Klamath river canyon area. An alternate route for Inter- stale 5 from Yreka north toward the Henley-Hornbrook area that would avoid the canyon, through which Highway 99 now travels, has been proposed by California state officials. The new proposal would cost $6 million less than a freeway through the canyon and offer a straighter road, thereby allow ing traffic to proceed without having to reduce speed. A hearing on the new proposal will be held Thursday, Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. at the Yreka Elks Club. State officials and area lead ers expressed the opinion at a chamber of commerce meeting here last week that the proopsed alternate would eliminate most of the objections to putting the Interstate 5 freeway through the canyon area where U.S. 99 is now routed. Motorists using the existing highway 99 would be largely un affected by construction, they also pointed out. The alternate route would run along the top of a ridge east of the present Highway 99, leaving the old road just north ot Yreka and rejoining it about two miles north of the existing 99 bridge across the Klamath, the point where the Klamath River road joins 99. Tourists would still be able to see the canyon from various points along the freeway, it was pointed out. Gold Hill Enrollment Up GOLD HILL Gilbert A. Mack, principal of district 6 schools in Gold Hill, reported an in crease of 13 per cent in the en rollment of Patrick and Hanby Elementary schools on Sept. 9. Total enrollment was 397, an increase of 45 students. Broken down. Hanby enroll ment was 206, while Patrick en rolled 191. Enrollment by grades was first, 43; second, 48T third, 47; and fourth, 53 al Patrick. Enrollment of grades fifth through eighth at Hanby wore, fifth, 44; sixth, 42; seventh, 56; and eighth, 57. There are 29 seventh and eighth grade sluclcnls from (he Sams Valley area. Son of Talent Couple Gets New Promotion TALENT Monty Montgom ery, son of Mr. and Mrs Don Montgomery, 118 North First St., has been transferred from Bend, where he has served for the past six years, to Portland, where he has been promoted to a staff position at the Oregon state game commissioner's of fice in Portland. Mr. and Mrs. Cleve Newman, of Seattle, Wash., were brief callers here Tuesday evening. Cleve was a former resident here, being a member of the Sam Newman family that lived on a tract of land which is now a part of the Table Top ranch, where they operated a dairy. We hear cigarette smokers say that they would vote for a sales tax on cigarettes, but we note that each time it has been on the ballot in Oregon, it has been defeated by a fair sized majority. We wonder if the smokers expect us to believe that it is the non-smokers that vote against it? v The Unpopular Matter of Taxes We are hearing a lot of griping about taxes and the tax bill passed by the last legislature. Well, tax collectors have always been unpopular, as far back as Matthew's time, who before his conversion was exceedingly unpopular as a tax collector. Per sonally, we have looked on the tax situation-as rather a neces sary evil, and have tried to pay our taxes, although at times it has been tough. Although we have no children in school, we are paying the school tax, which we do not regret, a fire district tax, although we have never had a fire, and other taxes, in cluding a pole tax. The State Grange has no quarrel with the legislature over the lax bill they passed. The grangers helped to secure the initia tive and referendum and still believe we need them. Some years ago a bill was brought up in a session of the legislature that would make those petitioning for a special session pay the cost of the election. The grangers opposed and helped to defeat this bill. But as things are shaping up now, we are not so sure they did right. Now if some people think their taxes are too high, they can get enough signatures to call a special session of the legislature. Even if many do not approve, they have to help pay the cost ol the election. Some 40 years ago, we registered voters in this and sur rounding districts. We received 10 cents for each one we reg istered, rode a bicycle, and made from $6 to $8 a day. Fred DcVos, who is studying to be a minister, was a re cent visitor at the Table Rock Sunday School. He taught Die Bible class, gave an interesting lecture to all the school, and sang several hymns, accompanied on the guitar. ', Better Not Grow Too Fast So far this year, we have had visitors from many States. most of Ihem from California. All have been loud in their praise of our state, but some Californians tell us if we don't watch out we will soon be like our sister state to the south, which they say is over-crowded, and over-taxed, with many of them looking toward Oregon for relief. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Taylor have returned from a vacation trip that took them as far north as Alaska. WW Cleve Twitchell, regional editor of the Mail Tribune, with his wife, and young son, Peter, was a business visitor here Tuesday. They look home to try some of our golden cross corn that was advertised in the Mail Tribune livestock column. WW Thought for the day ...

District 6 Curriculum Development Plans Told Ron Pelric, assistant super- intcndci-.l of schools in district 6, reported on curriculum de velopment to the board of di rectors al their meeting Tuesday night. He also announced plans for a pilot team teaching program for 11th grade English classes and a developmental and speed reading program at Crater High. During the meeting.

He also announced that early bird classes are being arranged at Crater (or typing and tresh man homemaking classes. These classes will start al 7:15 a.m., he said. Board members discussed the possibility of a bond issue for building in January. Meyer noted that the school tax this year in District 6 is 58 9 mills compared to last year's figure I of 60.9 mills. I In other action the board ap pointed Meyer budget officer for the district and hired a new teacher. Scott Phillips will loach vocal music al Central Point RegionalCalendar Elementary. A shortage of elementary tool halt equipment was noted and board members gave authoriza tion for the purchase of equip ment for grades 6, 7 and 8 at Gold Hill and Central Point. Meyer announced that all ad- ; minislrators in District 6 now . have masters degrees or better.
