Roads Easily Travelled.
The out of door lover, the sportsman,
or the person who tours with the idea of
feasting the eyes on. things worth see
ing in nature is the only one who can
get real enjoyment out of either of the
trips suggested. The roads are not
good, judged in comparison with paved
boulevards, but they are travelled by
scores of ears every year and without
serious mishap, or any greater discom.

formation covering both trips In this
issue, but a summary of the road con-
ditions and the route to be followed on
the coast trip will be given, as this
route, of the two, will probably be the
first opened to travel. Both routes are
peculiar in a similar respect. Travel
over either is subject to the road con
ditions in what might well be called
the gates to the routes. Mckenzie Pass
is the barrier to the interior route un-
til the SHOWS have melted, while the
canyon road along the Middle Fork Of
the Coquille river is the last stretch Of
the coast route to dry sufficiently to
allow automobile travel.
Trip Well Worth While.
For the Willamette Valley automobile
owner who is looking for vacation
drive that is really worth taking, the
coast route to California mepIa every
requirement. Fishing abounds oil along
the way, the scenery cannot be excelled,
the climatic conditions encountered are
idel and the roads not so bad as to de.

During the deer season the hunting af
forded by Coos and Curry counties, both
of which are pretty thoroughly travers
ed in making this trip, is perhaps the
best to be found along the Pacific
Coast. Also, a large part of the trip
is made along the coast within sound
and in many places within sight of the
ocean.
Roseburg is the point Of contact be-
tween the coast road and the Pacific
Highway and makes good first day

eluded in the Pacific Highway and are
well marked.
Turn West at Roseburg.
The 63 miles between Roseburg and
Myrtle Point are usually considered a
days drive for the driver not inlnllar
with the road,espeeially early in the
season. The coast road branches off
from the Pacific Highway just south Of
ROseburg (the turn to the night being
plainly indicated by signboards) and ID
easily followed to the junction of the
Cammas Valley and Looking Glass
roads. The Looking Glass orancn is
what is known as the ola Uuus Bay
Wagon Road and is not usually open ia
travel until late in the season and at
any time is dangerous for persons not
familiar with the roads. At yne 1unc.
tion Of these two roads the one to the

Trip To WashOugal Made In
Good Time---ROads Passabie

While he admits that touring is not
at its best in this part Of the country at
Just this time Of the year, DR.. J. r.
Pemberton, who returned Tuesday from
trip to Washougal, Washington, in his
Erin Six, says that most Of the roads
are in good shape for 50 early in the
season and there are no obstacles in the
path Of motorists who wish 10 invade
Portland, or southern Washington from
now on.
During his trip DR.. Pemberton struck
all kinds Of weather and many rough
spots. Leaving Salem Saturday, when
showers were an hourly oecurrance, he
drove to Portland over the esR side
route and from there crossed over into
Washington at Vancouver. The Clarke

Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1919-04-26

The protests against closing the road
even for a short time are based on the
eunteation that, with war over and life
fast returning to its normal channels,
automobile touring is going to be more
popular during the coming summer than
ever before and that closing the road
vii divert tourists from travel be-
tween Oregon, Washington and Cali
fcrnia and result in the loss of money
that would otherwise be spent in the
cities along the highway route.
To a certain extent the protests are
veil grounded, but it is doubtful il the
l1az accommodating during the few weeks
IN, road will be closed after the touring
season opens will offset the gain re-
sailing from the improvement incident
upon putting this piece Of the highway
into condition for all.yegr travel.
Barrier Only Temporary.
SO far as preventing tourists from
freely passing between Washington and
California through Oregon is concerned,
this argument will hold true only dur
ing the very first of the season. There
are mt least two other routes ny which
motorists travelling from north to south,
or south to north, may span the gap be-
tween the California line and the head
sf the willamette, both of which will
be open to travel soon after June l.,
PEoviding weather conditions this year
xre normal. The through travel over
the Pacific highway before June 1st,
Or even June Is is not heavy.
Speaking from the standpoint of the
auiOists of Salem, Portland, Eugene, or
any other Willamette Valley point, the
Pacific Highway route through Cow
Greek canyon is by far the most direct
TO California points and from the stand
pofHt of comfort and speed is much to
be favored. But there is also much to
sy in support Of either the coast route,
or the Mckenzie Pass-Klamath Falls
route. For the tourist who is not balk-
ed by prospect Of getting off the hard
s9rfaced or macadam roads, and who
wishes to get out and away from
s'everything' either of the two last
naned routes offer more in the way Of
intercsting and unusual scenery than
Eaes the beaten path along the highway.
Neither of the two routes are to be rec
s.Hmended, however, for the tourist

Roosevelt Road To Open Big
Market For Feed From
Interior Oregon.

TillamOch, Or. April 26.-Thongh
it is q fact not generally known, Tilla-
nook county, the most productive dairy
ing section Of the state Of Oregon, has
to ship in hay and other forage for
its dairy herds. On this account farm
ers Of interior Oregon profitted to tho
extent Of 100000 in 1915. While the
Tnlamook section and the coast eoun-
try in general boast as fertile soil as
can be found anywhere the grasses
out the United States $2,000,000 worth
winter fodder, for the reason that tho
product is more valuable for grazing
dairy cattle.
Tillamook county was not the only
coast county that proved TO be a good
customer Of the alfalfa raisers of in
terror Oregon. All the rest Of the sev-
en- coast counties purchased hay as
well, though in smaller quantities.
The proposed Roosevelt highway
along the coast would open up a great
Agricultural empire in that region. ard
in a few years millions Of dollars
would flow out to the hay producers
where now only hundreds Of thousands
are spent by the dairymen.
In 1918 Tillamook county sold thru

Of cheese and dairy products alone.
This gives an inkhng of what win be
the result il millions of acres Of land
