Where’s Our Highway?
Let's take note of our situation. Lt. Col. J. M. Miles has iterat«*d that
the reason for the transportation of cement to the dam site by rail was
necessitated by the fact that there Is no passable highway between Gates
anil Salem. Coupled with this fact are the two accidents tills past week on
our roller-coaster from Salem that caused death to one person and injuries
to five other», plus much economic cost to the local area.
We aren't blaming any one person for these tragedies, but if there bail
been a good highway here, the two unfortunate circumstanc«*» might not
have happened.
The dam will eventually employ many thousands of
workers with many of them forced to live in other areas due to the lack
of housing facilities. There will then be a distinct increa»«* in traffic to
anil from the dam site.
A big new highway is now being built to attract tourists to the Colma­
bin gorge and Bonneville along the Oregon side of the Columbia river, la
not this area in the Santiani Canyon one of the most scenic in the state?
One of the most beautiful drives one can think of is from the eastern |>art
of Oregon through lai Grande, down the Gorge drive to Portland, through
th« Willamette vajley and up to Bend via the Santiam Canyon. It would
also lx- only a few hours drive from Portland through to Bend via a Santiani
thoroughfare and back via the Warm Springs highway to Portland. This
would be but a »even hour Sunday drive, four hours from Portland via
Santiam to Bend, and three hours from Bend to Portland via Warm Springs.
Add this to your publicity releases for scenic travel of Oregon for next year,
or shall we lead the nation In occidental death» on this scenic highway?
Death» on the highway aren't a pretty picture for any »tate, and let’s
cut out the cause 111 Oregon, There are Ver; rjt few death» on GOOD roads,
but on a roller coaster what can one do? Travel on slippery curvea are
fit for only dare-devils.
Industries are wanted and needed by Oregon, but seldom locate on road»
that jeopardize their man-power and equipment. We want money in Oregon,
and we want lives, but on roller coasters them* thing» just don’t exist.
