SIX" ' POSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG. OREGON. SATURDAY, JUNE 21.1 930. STORY 1 (Continued from pace i; will eliminate practically all ma- "jor problems of port develop- ment. 17-Yeara' Toil Recorded m The port project at the mouth of the Umpqua was started In lyl3 ""at which time the Port of I'nip Jqua waB created, taking in all of viue lanu iriui!iur to uuewmer. The district immediately sturted w working on the harbor and Boon w obtained government recognition m The north Jetty was started under a cooperative agreement, wiin ine district bearing oue-half of the cost. The Jetty was built out 4,000 a feet at a cost of about 1100,000. The Jetty has now been extended to 9,000 feet and an additional ex- m lenmuit 01 oi. in nun ut-iiiig mmaae. tins rinai extension, upon which work is no in progress, "will carry the Jetty to the edge of the coastal plain. A rew reet he. yond the end of the projected con siruclion, the wuter drops off to a depth of several hundred feet. " The north Jetty has resulted in considerable benefit, but it will not provide the necessary depth over the bar for large vessels, although Thts new addition is expected to re sult In a much lower bar. . The river water, however, surges into Winchester bay. dropping ""considerable amount of lis load of . sill and sand, so that much, dredg ing is necessary to maintain a deep channel. 90-Foot Depth Likely The government engineers have now approved a plan for a Jetty on --the south side of the river. This ietty will be about 5.000 feet In ...length, and will extend from the lextreme point of Winchester nay, "almost directly toward the north : jetty, then turning out to sea. This will leave a channel about 1,000 lee) in width. The great volume of water In the Umpqua river, passing through this comparatively narrow chan nel, backed by the force of the tides, Is expected to carry the Bund off the bar and leave a depth of at least iff) feet. This deepening of the bar will, In turn, carry much of the sand out of the inner harbor, and give a deep water harbor suitable fur the largest vessels. Outstanding Harbor The Umpqua harbor Is one of the few freshwater harbors on the Pacific cousL The great flow of the Umpqua, coupled wllh the wa ter from Smith river, which Joins the Umpqua across from Meeds port, fills the bay with fresh wa ter and carries the current for a considerable diBtanco Into the ocean, which is a very advanta geous factor In port control and maintenance. A freshwater harbor of such depth as the Umpqua will be, when the new Jetty is con structed, will prove a great attrac tion to the sea going vessels, as the fresh water anchorage, causes re moval of barnacles and other hull encrustments. The loading facili ties provided by the Umpqua har bor are already quite complete so that with the completion of the south Jetty, authorised in the sen ate bill, thu port otriclalB can turn their attention to the construction of other needed port facilities. The Coos bay appropriation of $125,000 will also provide for a ' badly needed Improvement. The Jetties constructed at Coos b"ay are giving excellent clearance over the bar, and attention Is now being given to the Inner channel. At-present the controlling depth Is 22 feet, which is being extend ed to 26 feet this year, as a result of operations now In progress. With an average 6-foot tide, this will give a depth of 32 feet for the Incoming and outgoing vessels, providing ample depth for the most heavily loaded craft. Pigeon Point reef, however, has a deptli of only 21 feet, and the appropriation included in the river and harbor bill is for the purpose of blasting out this reef to provldo a 26-foot depth of water at that point.

They were accused of kill ing Cliff Jones. I.lge Harper and Krnest McCullough, each about 30 years of age. Iluildlng up a chain of clrcuin "stantlal evidence, authorities ad vanced the theory that tho men engaged In a poker game nnd that the victims enruged the Hulsoys by winning tho greater part of the nioney at stako. Complications, authorities said, which grew out of the game nnd at tendant drinking led to the sluy , ing nnd disposal of the bodies In an abandoned well.
