SHORT CUT TO SALT LAKI Klomath travelers have been making increasing use of the
Cedarville-Winnemuceo rood in order to cut short time and distance in reaching Solt Lake
City and points east. The rood, which lies on the proposed "Winnemucco to the Sea"
highway, is eosily accessible from Klamath Falls via Alturas and Cedarville, ond passes
through the little border town of Demo, which stroddles the Oregon-Nevada state line.
Denio is unique with its gombling rooms on one side of the border, the post office on the
other. From Klomoth Falls to Solt Lake vio this route is 697 miles, knocking more than a
hundred miles off the regular highway distonce. The rood is well-kept, though unsurfaced,
and fost travel is one of its assets.

housing problems:
A two-story "dream house'" ex
hibited In the West 5ind street
night club belt ovenhsdowed by the
towers of Mxkerfellrr center, was
won In drawing three weeks ago
by student veteran s wife.
Bhe and her husband haven't
been able to figure out a way to
use the six - room prefabricated
house. And they fear notice from
tht U. 8. Internal revenue depart
ment that they'll have to pay taxes
on the value, 119.000.
Ho they announced laat nlfti
they would be glad to give back
tht bouse to the Amrrlran Wom
en's Voluntary Kerrlrei n return
for tht S cents paid for the
winning ticket.
The chief problem la finding a
place to move the house from a
parking Int.
Mrs. Edna Blrnbaum. an assistant
supervisor of nurses at a hospital,
won the house. 8he and her hus
band, Alfred, 30, had visions of a
better life.
But thrlr Joy soon waa ruined
by the prospects of the eosla ef
collapsing, moving, re-ereeting
mad connecting the house, plus
parking lot fee of tU a day dur
ing the drtay, and the Income tax
liability.
The Blrnbaums offered unsuc
cessfully to give the house back to
the American Women's Voluntary
Service for 3000.
Then the "lucky- couple tried to
sell the house, but prospective pur
chaser shied away when they
learned the costs ahead.
Birnxaum'a brother, Rudolph, a
lawyer, waa called on for advice,
lie ran Into a bunch of headaches,
and finally made the St-eenl offer
last night.
The parking lot owner. Jerome
I Voleuky. said he had arranged to
neve the building dismanteled to
day end moved at his own expense
Into storage.
Tht yellow "drram hou.se" was
very much a white elephant today.
