thn connecting llnkr between westorn
and southeastern Oregon, will bo
opened for through travel before
many moons, provided existing In
junctions against tho expenditure of
county money do not Intorfnro when
tho opportuno tlmo for beginning
road construction arrives.
This highway, now In an Impass
able state, loaves tho Pacific high
way at Goshen, I.ano county, Ore.;
and follows the Wlllamotto river
southeast, crosses the Cascades and
Into and through Klamath. Lake
and 'Malheur counties.
Wau Pioneer Trail
During tho early stages of devel
opment In this stoto this road, then
nothing moro than a trail, was much
In use. Today, It Is open to travel
from Goshen to tho Klngdon ranch
In Lane county, nnd from this city
to Crescent Iske However, tho road
has been neglected, steep grades
predominating and surfaco condi
tions being so bad that It amounts
to nothing moro than a wagon road
of tho worst description.
R. S. Ilryson, county clerk of
Lane county, following Instructions
of his county court, has written to
the Klamath county court, bis lot
tor containing a proposition for both
counties to appropriate a sufficient
amount to place the road In serv
iceable ahape, It being understood
that tho government will match
both counties, dollar for dollar. In
payment ot tho cost ot tho. Im
provement. HI Mile In Klanutli
Six miles ot Improvement work
will fall to this county. Lane coun
ty will bo compelled to improve
about H miles. It will cost ap
proximately $2,000 per mile, entail
ing an appropriation from this
county.. of $6,000, tho other $(,000
to bo paid by tho government. Lane
county will oxpend $14,000, but this
will not Interfere with tho project,
as that county has already spent
moro than J8D.00O. and recognises
tho necessity for the added oxpend
Ituro If tho purpose of the highway
Is to be served. County Jndge R. H.
nunnell stated yesterday that the
lotttt board la In accord with the
Lane county board, and that the
appropriation will bo forthcoming.
Hit Per Cent Griule
With theso comparatively modest
expenditures, engineers say, It will
bo posslblo to socuro a 6 per cent
grade, and alt other requirements
necessary to make tho highway pass
able for vehicles ot any description.
Furthermore It Is pointed out that
thero aro 600,000 acres of timber
land adjacent to this road, and that
as soon as It Is opened It will af
ford transportation for loggors, aid
In development, and bring rovenuo
Into tho county coffers from sources
which at present tlmo aro closed to
limitation. In othor words, vast
areas of untaxed lands would bo
placed upon tho tax rolls and con
verted Into profit-making properties.
tirand Scenic Route
This highway will shorten tho
routo between north and northwest
ern Oregon to Crater laku and
Klamath Falls, and It seems to bo
tho concensus ot opinion that the
scenery, hunting and fishing along
tho hlghwuy would make It Im
mensely popular with tourists.
In Illustration It Is stated that
tho distance from Portland to Cra
ter lake via tho Wlllamotto highway
would bo only 270 miles, cr a dif
ference ot 126 miles. Quite a sav
ing of tires und gasoline, many nuto
owners say.
.Shorter to Portland
Again, from Portland to Luko-
viow, via the Pacific Highway, Ash
land and Klamath Falls, tho dis
tance is S38 miles, and over tho
routo which will bo afforded by the
completion ot tho Willamette mili
tary highway, tho distance would ho
only 418 miles.
Forty-six por cent ot Lane county
Is in national forests, national parks
and Indian resenros. Fitty-oue per
cont ot this county is coverod by
this description, This highway
would enable both counties to con
vert theso areas into profit-producers.
Lane county has seen tho wis
dom ot opening the highway, and
has already Bpont a largo sum ot
money upon It. Lane county Is
willing to spend moro, hut knows
that unless this county co-oporatos
with it tho road cannot bo com-
Tiletod. No chain Is stronger than
its woakest link, the people over
thero say, and ask this county,
through its commissioners, to pro
vldo a link that will onduro and
serve the object la view. Accord-
