11 at tin- time cf voting npon such annexation, also vote
■HK|^^kson as commissioner to represent said precinct upon
I
or board in authority who would have
the disposition afid power to initiate a
move towards securing such a road, to
the following route;
To begin at the forks of the Traek
on what is known as the “Old Thornton
Place," in sec. 25, tp. 1 south, range 8
west in Tillamook County, Oregon, and
thence follow up the north fork ol said
river to or near its source ; thence cross­
ing the divide to creek in tp. 1 south,
range 5 west (probably known as “Pat­
ten Creek”) ; thence on the most prac­
ticable route to connect with the county
road which leads most directly to Forest
Grove, in Washington County. Oregon.
This route would bring Tillamook
City witlitn 35 miles of Gaston, 36
miles of Forest Grove, and 59 miles of
Portland. It would require the building
of only about eight miles of new road
within Tillamook County, and only
about 10 miles within Washington
County to connect with the county road
in Washington county, and would l>e
by far the shortest and most direct
route from Tillamook City to Portland
that could lie built on a suitable grade,
not varying more tha i five miles from
a general easterly course at any point
along the route.
The distance from Tillamook City to
the divide on the eastern boundry of the
county would be by this route only 22
miles, and the highest altitude reached
would be approximately 1700 feet, mak
mg a grade ol less than 100 feet to the
mile.
II this road is builf the people of Till­
amook City would he able to get mail to
Portland and return in 22Vi hours, and
Portland people could send letters to
Tillamook City and receive an answer
in 12 hours ; while under existing con
ditions it requires 60 hours for Portland
to get return mail from Tillamook City,
and 64 hours for Tillamook people to
get return mail from Portland. Travel­
ing men could then come to Tillamook,
do business and return to Portland in
12 hours and Tillamook people could
leave Tillamook City for Portland,
spen I 12 hours in Portland and be back
in Tillamook City in 22H hours. The
United States Government would there
by save about $2000 per year in the
price paid for carrying its mails.
On account of the very low altitude
this road could be traveled during the
entire vear, and during a great portion
of the year automobiles could make the
run from Portland to Tillamook City in
a lew hours. In the summer, instead of
having only a few hundred campers and
other visitors, we wonld see thousands
of people upon our beaches, and l*ing a
road which automobiles could travel and
get to Tillamook in so short a time
without danger, would induce the class
of visitors who have money to •«nd to
co« to our country ill great number«,
cavil of whom would upend acme ot it
with ue.
Thia road being a direct roate to Port­
land, would open up to settlement
