cific highway to California from
Grants Pass is closed, but a fair de-
tour turns past the Western hotel
to the town OF Rogue River from
Sixth street. The greater part OF this
dctour is fairly good with some
rough dusty portions. At Rogue
River 1t is best not to cross the
river, but continue on to Gold Hill
on the same side and there cross
over, following the road to right
until opposite the city of Central
Point, where the pavement for Ash
land is found via Medford.
An auto park is maintained al
Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Medford and
Ashland. The park at Ashland S
rarely passed by the experienced
traveller and has the reputation OF
being the finest on the highway, it
being equipped with gas, water, ETC..
and in a beautiful forest park.
