WHAT 100000 MIGHT DO

Editor or the Leader:
see you are recommending the vot-
ing of 100000 for the building of the
road up the river to Elk City and the
bridge at Toledo.
The State Highway Commission
after sending their surveyors over each
route, have selected the Simpson Creek
route for the reason that it is 5k
miles shorter and probably 100000
cheaper to construct. This should be
sufficient reason to defeat the measure.
We gain nothing by trying to overri lie
the Highway Commission and may
lose a great deal by being too conten-
tious.
The statement that the added prop
erty value derived from the building
of this bridge would take care of the
interest on the bonds Is absurd. The
entire assessed value of all the land
south of the Yaquina and north of the
Alsea Bay, including South Beach and
Seal Rocks Resort, is only a little
over $6O0,0UO No one will claim this
bridge will accommodate South Beach.
There is great deal OF camouflage
in this bridge bond. The intent Is to
change the road up the river, regard
less of the added cost Of construction.
! hold that it is not fair to other parts
of the county to spend any more than
| is absolutely necessary to complete
the road from Newport to the Benton
county line. The low bid on the grad.
ing of the road from Toledo to Newport
was little over $4,000 mile, using
as much of the old road as possible,
in fact, they do leave the old right OF
way only in three places for short
distances. Compare this with the
building of nine miles of new grade up
the river plus the cost of the bridge.
| do not think 100000 will build the
bridge.
Let us see what this amount Of
money might do expended in some
other locality, just as much in need,
and just as much isolated as Elk City.
100000 would connect Salmon River
with Tillamook county, would grade
and rock a road the entire length Of
Salmon River 1t would probably
grade road from the mouth of ST.
letz Bay to Salmon River, distance
being 10 miles and easy construction.
1t would grade and rock the road from
Euchre Creek to the head of tide on
Siletz river. 1t would grade and rock
road from Harlan to Tum Tum, thus
giving the Big Elk an outlet TO the
Corvallis-Newport Highway. 1t would
grade and rock the road from Denzer
down Five Rivers to the Alsea highway
and then some. 1t would widen and
rock the road the entire length of the
Yachats river. 1t would do wonders
expended on the coast road from ST.
letz Bay to Newport. None Of these
communities are served either by rail
or water as is Elk City, and Elk City
has just as good wagon road as any
of them.
The Alsea forest road, when COM
pleted, will serve the south end OF the
county. The Corvallis-Newport road
will serve the central part of the
county. Are we to continue ignoring
the north end of the county, denying
them any consideration at all because
they are few in number and claiming
every thing for ourselves because We
are many? AS matter Of fairness,
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1920-05-14
ARE you FOR
ADVANCEMENT

In this issue we publish a letter
that is being sent out to the voters
of the county by the Elk City Com
mercial Club. We also publish an
article written by Jay w. Dunn. Our
readers can read both and then draw
their own conclusions.
The Leader favors the building OF a
bridge across the river to provide an
outlet for the south half of the county.
The location of the Corvallis-Newport
highway is another matter, and as it
was left up to the State Highway
Commission to decide, we are willing
to abide by their choice.
There are many places in the county
where 100000 could be spent TO good
advantage, but, where shall we make
the start?
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1920-05-14

the north end of the county should
have at least two-thirds of any future
bond issue voted in this county. | am
in sympathy with those wanting the
bridge, but think it bad policy to at
tempt to change the route as selected
by the State Highway Commission at
its meeting February 5th.
We will accomplish better results,
present and future, if we work in har-
mony with the commission. Or shah
we scrap their disinterested decision?
If all parts of Lincoln County are so
we'll provided with good roads that
they feel able to spend 100000 on
5000 feet of trestle and bridge, so
be it. The answer rests with you.

We predict that AL Waugh will get
the solid vote of the Democrats in Lin
coln County.
The Leader calls the attention OF
the Republican voters of Lincoln
County to the fact that one week from
today is primary day, and that Lincoln
County for the first time in its history
has favorite son candidate for the
most important office in the State.
Hon. B. f. Jones is candidate for
Secretary of State, and at this writing
looks like a sure winner, but 1t is up
to Lincoln County to show its appre-
citation of the advertising we have re-
ceived from his candidacy, and also
for his work on the Roosevelt High
way. The election of Jones to the
office of Secretary of State would do
more to put Lincoln County on the
map than all the advertising our COM
mercial clubs can get out in the next
wear. Certainly after all the work
Jones did for the Roosevelt Highway,
which means so much for our county,
we will not neglect the opportunity of
further boosting our county by giving
him practically the unanimous vote of
the Republican electors of this county.
The Leader does not believe that there
is a Republican voter in the county,
but is for Jones, but the danger is in
the stay at home vote, and we take
this opportunity of urging every Re
publican voter to make special effort
to get to the polls next Friday, and
see that your ballot is properly mark
ed for b. f. Jones.
