adhere to the old road bed However,
the old road bed is we'll graded and
it would be quite expensive to BET or,
the present grade.
From this point to Chitwood no ex.
tensiya changes or obstacles are er-
countered. From Chitwood to Toledo
the road is at present located over
the hills on approximately a per
cent grade to Toledo. There is con-
siderable demand for this section to
be eliminated and the main highway
to pass down the Yaquina River to
Elk City and cross the Yaquina River
near Toledo. This would intail adding
about five miles to the total distance
to be traversed between Corvallis and
Toledo and the construction of two
bridges-one of which would be quite
expensive, as it would necessarily be
draw span and about 800 feet in
length
The grading on this line would
cost approximately $4,000 per mile
ON so per cent of the distance and
about $4,000 per mile for the balance
of the highway.
The rC-l1 over the hills is well
laid out and is graded from 16 to 20
feet in width at the present time.
This road could be improved on
per cent grade for $4,000 per mile, or
less, and | would recommend this
route be chosen as twill not only
serve the through traffic better, but
it will also serve more people IN Lin
coin County than any ether route 1t
was, due to the conditions of the road,
for me to get the distances on several
routes accurately. However, accord
ing to may scale the Big Elk Route,
via. Scarth Cutoff, would be about 8
miles shorter than the Little Elk
Route, but this handicap is easily
overcome by the lighter construction
on the Little Elk Route.
From Toledo to Newport, the pre-.
sent road is well located and only
needs minor changes in grade and
alignment to make the same accepta
BILE to the State.
The entire road from Corvallis tC
Newport has no surfacing on the con
templated location, same being practi
cally impossible during the winter
months. However, the present travel
ed read is surfaced with gravel from
Corvallis to q point about one mile
beyond Wren and in order to give
quick relief to Lincoln County and the
western part Of Benton county, il
would be advisable that the road be
constructed from this point westward
at the earliest possible date leaving
the section from Corvallis to WrcI
until such time as the balance of tn,
road Is completed.
The surfacing material is yer.
scarce along the entire road. How
ever, few outcroppings of good basal
tic rock were noted and | believe witt
more extensive investigation, sufficen
quarries could be opened up to surfac
the road

GOOD SOUND LOGIC


Toledo, Oregon, May 20, 1918.
Lincoln County Leader,
Toledo Oregon,
Dear Sir:
The following are few points as
! see them in favor of the Roosevelt
Highway
We ranchers back in the woods will
be able to have a good road to the
towns north and south, allowing us
to ship produce which ii is now impos
sible for us to do.
We have ten. OF thousands of un,
improved acres of the very best sol
which this Grlnd Highway will serve
bringing to us new settlers and carry
ing out their produce. This highway
is an impossibility for us to construct
owing to its great cost and with our
sparce population, it is preeminently
State and Government undertaking
1t has great value as a means OF
Natlonal Defense. This part of the
state, tributary to the Roosevelt High.
way, could be made absolutely impreg.
nable by an invading army. It's grem
resources of airplane stock, lumber,
cattle and dairying would all be made
use of and aid in tie enemy's march
thru the Willamette Valley and Inland
Empire. When if our own troops here
had this highway, the enemy could
not secure a foOthold.
We have enough resources and in
FAINT industries in Western Oregon
which this road would aid, that in ten
years the increased taWtion would
pay for all this state is asked to put
up for the Roosevelt Highway.
Give US a chence to grow and let
people see our resources. Just a little
boost from you people in Eastern Ore
gon and you will be paid many times,
for what helps us will help you.
Yours sinscerely,
j. l.. Thomas.

it seems that this was copied from the

Beaver Creek Valley, with a lot of

ENGINEERS REPORT
State Highway Engineer Office.

| beg to submit the following report
on my recent reconnaissance in Lin
coin and Benton Counties, covering
prospective routes from Corvallis to
Newport and from Corvallis to Wald-
port.
From Corvallis to Newport three
general roples have been proposed:
One by way of Philomath and Big Elk
River, another by way of Blodgett,
Summit and down the Yaquina River,
and another by way of Blodgett and
Little Elk River.
The route by way of Yaquina and
the Little Elk River comedies from
Eddyville to Newport. On this route,
however, there is a controversy on the
route to be chosen between Chitwood
and Toledo. Both these routes were
also investigated and are covere6 in
this report.
The Big Elk route was covered to
the summit and is rejected on account
of snow blocking this road during the
winter months as I have reliable in.
formation from many sources to the
effect that the snow is generally from
three to four feet deep during the win.
ter. The elevation at summit by an
eroid reading On. this route is 1888
feet, compared with elevation of SIS
feet on the Little Elk route.
The route through Blodgett, Summit
and down the Yaquina River is ap
parently feasible from the standpoint
of snow; but should be rejected on
account of the number of railroad eros
sings involved. From Nashville tc
Eddyville on this line, there are ter
railroad crossings On the present 10
cation. Six of which cannot be elm
mated with any reasonable cost
On the route by way of Blodget
and Little Elk, there are two railroad
| crossings, one at Blodgett and one a
Eddyville THE Blodgett crossing cal
| be easily eliminated by the installation
I of an overhead about three hundre,
feet West of the present crossing
, The Eddyville crossing would be yer,
, hard to eliminate; but is near tn
9 railroad station and therefore is no
comma ra iyalv dan Oaro,,s
/. Another feature in favor of the Lii
tie Elk route is that it is shorter tha
i, the Yaquina River route and the ger
eral contour of the country is les
abrupt, making construction somewha
y light along this line. However, COZ
, sidering the entire route from Corva
lis to Newport, | would roughly est
