Saturday, December 19, 1925 STATE PROPERTY IS VALUES JUMP OFFICII!! 1118 JUSTIFICATION OF BETRAYAL ATTEMPTED The Klamath News is in sore straits in its efforts to build up an alibi for its attempted betrayal of Klamath county into the hands of the Southern Pacific. In ltsj issue of today it seeks to twist an isolated statement in I his paper as giving its a clean bill of health. The at- ;empt is so labored as to be amusing. It still has the I impudence, however, to restate its stand in favor of de- livering this territory over to the railroad monopoly of j the Southern Pacific companv. However, one of these i days the .$500 a week ansrel will get tired helping it along the devious paths it is traversine, and then there cept for 20 miles at Blalock, the entire distance between will be no need for an alibi, "for circumstances are not i The Dalles and Pendleton. This 20 mile stretch, which what they were in Klamath," to quote a phyase from the I was the finest unoiied macadam road in the division, was left as an experiment, ana its ruiigii comuuun in mm On Coach m Wochter (ricbtl anil Captain V.

A HINT FOR KLAMATH "Oiled macadam wins" observes the Dalles Chronicle in an editorial commenting on the policy of extending oiled surfaces which has been adopted by the state highway commission. The commission's oiling program is of special interest to Klamath Falls in view of the many macadam' roads extending from this city, repair and upkeep of which has assumed the proportions of a serious problem. "Oiled macadam has proved itself, to such an extent that the state highway commission at its last meeting voted to provide for an additional 110 miles of this type of surfacing next year in this division. This, added to the 85 miles of macadam road oiled this year, will make a total of 195 miles of oiled macadam in eastern Oregon by next summer. 'The 'outrage' which sundry eastern Oregon motor ists and city officials protested against last spring when the highway department was placing from 57 to 135 barrels ot oil per mile on tne uoiumDia ruver mgnway between here and Pendleton, has proved a blessing. The same communities which were loud in complaints when the oil was being spread are now equally vocifer ous in praise of the new type road. ' "No one can travel over the oiled section of the high way between here and Pendleton and not be convinced of the success of the process. This road, in mid-December, is still virtually as good as pavement, after a sea son's travel which was unusually heavy. The number of cars going over the road from here to Pendleton was greater than the Portland-Astoria total, as revealed by a highway department traffic census. In addition, there was the tremendously heavy roundup travel. "The oiled macadam stood up perfectly, the only ex ception being at intersections where horse drawn wagons loaded with wheat crossed. The steel tired wagon wheels cut the macadam, which was repaired as soon as wheat hauling was over and is now as good as ever. "Oiled macadam in eastern Oregon was first tried at Big Eddy in the spring of 1923, when government offi cials complained of the dust blowing from the road into the houses of Celilo canal maintenance engineers.' Then the local highway office had no equipment for putting down the oil and an old sprinkling cart belong ing to the city was borrowed. So successful was the experiment that the highway was next oiled from the Deschutes river to Biggs, using about 60 barrels of oil to the mile. Then, this spring, the highway was oiled, ex- summer uroved a decided contrast to the smooth sur face of the oiled road on both sides of it. "Oiled macadam does not make a road. The road first must be built and permitted to settle for a year or so. That is why new sections of The Dalles-California and Sherman high ways are not yet on the oiling pro gram. After the roadbed has settled, however, the oil makes a perfect surface which, properly maintained, (lis- integrates only tnrougn me expanding aim cuuiiucung processes of winter. Thus it is necessary to reou to certain extent each soring, although the amount neces sary to- put the road in good condition again is only a tliira oi tne initial coaung. "One big advantage of oiled macadam in eastern Oregon is that resurfacing every three or four years is unnecessary. Resurfacing is an expensive process, lhc 15 miles between The Dalles and the Deschutes river had been resurfaced twice before oil was placed on it. "Maintenance of oiled macadam is cstimattd by en gineers to be 25 per cent less than for ordinary macad am. This feature, coupled with the fact that resurfacing is necessary every few years, makes the oiled road fat the more economical of the two in addition to being better for traiiic. It also has been proved that the inter est bn paving alone will pay the cost of building anci maintaining oiled macadam roads.
