REVISION PROPOSED FOR INTERSTATE 5 - An alternate
freeway route which would avoid the Shasta and Klamath river
canyon area has been proposed by California officials. 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.

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.
