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.
