NAPIER Reedsport Attorney Who Has Been Consulting Leaders In Con gress Says That Local Project Will Receive Aid In Deepening Channel and Inner Harbor. There Is little doubt but that a suitable federal appropriation to carry on development work In the Umpqua harbor will be forthcoming from the present session of congress. Is the statement made by Attorney J. Hawkins Napier, who spent yester day in Roseburg after returning from Washington. D. C. where he spent several weeks In the Interest of the Port of Umpqua. While In Washing ton, Mr. Napier consulted with the heads of the various committees and departments concerned in river and harbor development and placed the pr6ject squarely before them on its merits. In every instance be found the leaders awake -to the situation and willing to aid a port which has accomplished so much for Itself. The local project attracts consid erable attention because of the fact that the port has gone ahead with Its work, doing all within Its power to Improve tho harbor without wait ing for federal aid. This fact caused many of the congressmen to promise their support over other projects where local aid has not been so free ly given. . . Attorney Napier left last night to return to Washington and take up the project again, and he will prob ably remain there until the appro priation Is definitely assured. He states that the Roseburg Cham ber of Commerce resolutions and the support given through the columns of the News-Review had a great ef fect in securing the endorsement of many of the loaders. When he placed before them these resolutions and ar ticles showing that all of the people of Douglas county are behind the port Improvement, aid for the ap propriatlon was immediately prom ised. Mr. Napier urges that the peo ple continue to stand behind the pro ject and write frequently to the Ore gon delegation to encourage them In the stand they have taken. The Port of Umpqua Is asking for the sum of $267,000 to complete the north? Jetty for a distance of from 7500 to 8000 feet In length. This Improvement is asked for on the ba sis of the report of the government engineers who have thoroughly In vestigated the project and found this Improvement necessary for the de velopment of the harbor. The re port has been placed before the lead ers and the money, If granted, will be spent along the linos recommend ed In the report. This appropriation, coupled with the money raised by the Port of Ump qua will result In A 30-foot channel over the bar and will enable all ex- opt the very largest vessels to enter the river. The desired appropria tion will complete the channel and will provide for a survey of the In ner harbor, without further help. The federal aid has been tenta tively promised and Mr. Napier Is sure that the aid will eventually be forthcoming. The Oregon delegation li behind the proposition purely on a question of merit and the fact that the people themselves have under taken the improvement alono Is the strongest argument In favor of the pro;ect. 'Much valuable support was won piiidy upon the prop.isl;.on of the ncrt district having had the nerve to provide In advance of the approval of the projoct the total sum of $4r0,- 000 for Its development." said Mr. Napier. "The army engineers and the riven; and harbors committee of con gress both appeared more Impressed iih that fact than any argument nrosentcd on behalf of any port. knowing as they do, from data fur nished, the actual resources to be carried to the port after Us development. "The port has been promisea a ciirvev of tho Inner harbor by Its rep resentatives in congress. We have Edna Bryant and Harold Bowker Wed asked that It be made on the basts of a 25-foot channel from the bar Onough the insldj harbor. "The actual appropriations will probably not be available before June or July, but it Is expected that work will be started at about that time. . "The Rivers init Uat-luiM Kit) l thought, will he ma 1a un H.it-in the month of December this year. If all of the people Interested stay bw bind the project It Is thought that we are sure of adoption and also almost assured of the appropriation In tht amounts previously mentioned. ine auoption or tne harbor as a government projoct means great d- vnlonment In tha future l?waw mbh In Douglas county should get behind me project ana write nis representa- Hvna llni'n.nmnnl MnvfnAAvs k A . - - - ' ' ....... . ciiBiumjii 1 V- ru t L the natural conditions of the river ana oar among the best on the Pa clflc coast."
