In September of 1911 , work on the Elgin Canyon Road progressed rapidly with the help of local townspeople . On this workday , thirty-five men and ten teams with plows and scrapers fixed the road's grade . They lunched at a site near the end of the long stretch of road , at the farm of Retha M . Perry . The Women's Civic Improvement League assisted in the effort by providing the hungry workers a square meal . The Elgin Canyon Road meant a shortcut into town for many orchardists living out by Shell Rock Point .
