ROAD TO THE COAST
r
a
f
Uy CHARLES V. STANTON
The Douglas County Court, in plugging for u road to the
coast, will urge a water grade route to liecdsport, it has
been announced. The project of a road from the Central
l'nip(ua Basin to a deep water harbor is expected to be one
of the principal issues at the hearing to lie held in Coquilk'
before the interim committee investigating Oregon's high
way needs.
Civic leaders in Coos County are anxious to develop r.
route between Iloseburg and Coos Kay and thus channel
lumber movements through the Tort of Coos IJay. Hut,
judging from the editorial comment in the Coon Hoy Times,
there is li(tle inclination to change the route from its pre
sent course through Bridge, Myrtle Point and Coquille.
The present Koseburg-Coos Bay highway is a very' crook
ed road with many steep grades. Modern engineering and
expenditures of large sums of money doubtless could produce
much improvement in the grade and alignment, but it is not
feasible to transport heavy loads up and down mountains,
and mountains cannot be avoided if the coast route is built
on the existing location.
On the other hand, a water grade into Reedsport can be
secured at much less expense than would be involved in re
building the Roseburg-Coos Bay highway for commercial
purposes.
A fairly good road now exists west of Sutherlin on what
it locally known as the Dodge Canyon route. The few minor
grades and sharp curves between Sutherlin and the crossing
of the Cmpqua River could be cased at moderate cost. In
improving this road, which is already a secondary state
highway, the plan calls for relocation along the river shelf,
rather than crossing the mountains into Kellogg, and a bet
ter route between Kellogg and Klkton, thus placing almost
the entire road into Klkton on water grade. There are no
.steep grades between Klkton and Reedsport. Authorization
for widening the Scottsburg-Reedsixirt section already has
been given by the highway department, while work has
been underway for considerable time in the Kellogg district.
Should the state find reason to change designation of this
route from a secondary to a primary highway and develop
it for commercial use, a first class truck road could re
sult, providing an economical route for truck transjwrtation
of lumber to tidewater. Furthermore, and this is the ar
gument uppermost in the minds of the county court, all of
the route lies in Douglas County and the road would termi
nate at a Douglas County port.
Advocates of the Coos Bay route point out that the Port
of Coos Bay is apt to have a deep water harlxir, capable of
handling fully loaded lumber schooners sooner than such im
provement can be anticipated for the port of l'mqiia. But.
as the court points out, studies are now in progress for deep
ening the Port of I'miMjua, and, as the improvement work is
ifus exjiensive than that of Coos Bay, it is entirely possible
the lmMtia might be first with a deep harbor. At leant,
it If) claimed, it would be possible to partially load lumber
boats at RoedsKrt and move them to Coos Bay for finish
ing their cargo.
Personally, we are sympathetic to the Port of l'nixua
routing, although there may be some good argument in the
matter of a larger and dreiier harbor at Coos Bay. That
question will In' lietter answered when the Army Knginrcrs
have announced their plans and money actually has lieen av
propriated for harbor work.
But, to our mind, one tiling is evident: we need anil must
have, nt the earliest possible date, a good commercial road
between the Roseburg area and a deep water port used by
ocean going and coastwise cargo carriers.
At present the lumber market is favorable to rail ship
ments. Our lumber producers are not greatly concerned as
long as they are in a profitable market. But the day will
come when successor failure in lumber production will hinge
upon a few cents difference t thousand board feet in trans
portation costs. A commercial road to the coast, giving ac
cess to the export market, could then mean a matter of life
anl death to our industry.
H lakes time to deepen harlxir and build roads. We have
every hope, and good reason to believe, that the lumber mar
ket will remain favorable for several years. But while we
are enjoying these favorable conditions, we should be look
ing forward to the time when the outlook may not W so rosy.
If we fail to get an early utart on the improvements we will
need at some future date, we may suffer a severe H'iialty
for our delay.
