COAST ROAD
CHARLES V. STANTON
The Reednport Chamber of Commerce has brought forth
what secma to be a moat feasible and economical plan for
developing the much-needed commercial road from the in
terior of the Umqu;i Huh in to the coast.
.Inasmuch as the Drain-Heedsport highway already is car
rying a heavy load of truck traffic, the Keedsport Chamber
propones improvement to the lower section of the road, be
tween Elkton and Keedsport, and the addition of a primary
highway from Sutherlin to Klkton. Data has been collected
tihowing that a water grade route can be develoed at mod
erate cost throughout the entire distance.
Heavy emphasis should be placed upon necessity of a
commercial road between the interior of the l'mua Hasin
and ports of the I'nipnua and Coos Bay. It w ill take at least
five years to complete a suitable, road program, even with
ample funds. It ia to be expected that the lumber market for
the next five to 10 years will be good, and that inland mills
will not be seriously handicapped. But the time will come
when our industry will suffer heavily if forced to depend
upon rail transportation alone, particularly if the Southern
(Friendly) I'acific should keep its stranglehold on the area
and maintain discriminatory practices as in the past. On the
other hand, a truck road to the coast will eliminate exces
sive freight rate practices by the railroad, and at the same
time give the industry opportunity to compete in ocea com
merce. The time will come when such opportunity for com
petition may be the salvation of the industry. Construction
of the needed commercial road should be started as early as
possible for it would take too long to build if we waited until
our industrial life became dejiendent upon its presence.
Existing needs are sufficient to warrant earliest pos
sible construction, however, without consideration of future
emergencies.
Already, the r.eedsport Chamber of Commerce points out,
the Drain-Keedsport road is carrying virtually all of th
truck freight between Portland and the west Douglas, Coot
and Curry county region. The narrow Scottsburg-Heedsport
section, w here much of the road was carved out of solid rock
along the river bank, has become exceedingly dangerous be
cause of traffic congestion. At several points, where rock
cliffs overhang the road, buses and freight trucks must
come to a full stop and then nose out gently to the wrong
side of the road, when the opposite lane is clear, to prevent
striking the rock wall. Some trucks, however, fail to stop,
resulting in occasional serious accidents. A program calling
for widening some of the most dangerous spots is on the
highway department's immediate agenda.
Back in 11)31 a survey was
general improvement of the Drain-Keedsport highway. That
was in a time w hen much money was being spent on public
works. But the plans, apparently have been "filed" and only
a limited amount of work has been done.
It is proposed that the highway department dust off the
old plans and rebuild the road, taking into consideration the
fact' that traffic has increased
the increuse being in commercial vehicles, since the survey
was made.
It is further proposed that the Stitherlin-Klkton improve
ment be considered as a part
and that the oer-all plan be
Canyon route and the Drain-Klkton
Klkton to Keedsport.
The plan calls for the development of this route for com
mercial use. It would not conflict with improvement of the
Kosebui'g-Coos Bay highway for lighter traffic. In fact, by
improving the l'.oseburg-Coos Bay road for light traffic and
setting up a truck road by way of Keedsport, a separation
of traffic would be made possible, thus eliminating: much
hazard. iUI, EtES
A commercial road over the route proposed would ! little
if any longer between Koseburg and Coos Bay than oer the
present Koseburg-Coos Bay highway, and would have the
great advantage of no adverse grades. Truckers, thereby,
would have their choice of ports, stopping either at Keeds
port or continuing into Coos Bay.
Separation of traffic, and the possibility for choice of
port facilities by fleet operators, are important angles.
It is obvious that a heavy-duty truck toad, bearing a large
volume of truck traffic, is not a goinl road for tourist and
passenger car travel. If then, it is possible to develop one
route largely for commercial use and another principally for
light cars, while, at the same
territory and facilities, the project seems to have much in
its favor and should be given serious consideration at the
forthcoming interim committee hearing at Coiiuillo and
study by the legislature and

Toft Leads In
Opposition To
Meat Ration
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13 (JPU-
Sounding a key note of Republi
can opposition to meat rationing,
Senator Talt predicted today It
wouia revive oiacK marKets and
lead to even higher prices.
The Ohioan told a retKrter that
while ht is nut completely bar
ring rationing or price controls,
he does not believe that meat ra
tioning would work.
"You have to set up lust as
big an organization to ration one
Item as to ration everything,"
Taft said.
"Besides, meat Is the one thing
most susceptible to black market
operations. I am afraid that we
would nave a repetition ol the
time when cattle were killed
widely on the farms Instead of at
the slaughtering houses, with
the hides and olher by-products
being lost.
"Certainly the people who got
beef through the black markets
would have to pay even higher
prices for it than they are now
and a great many people would
get practically none at all."
Although a handful of GOP
lawmakers led by Senator Flan
ders (Vt.) have said they believe
meat rationing may be necessary
by spring, Taft's views reflect
the attitude of Republicans gen
erally toward Persident Tru
man's appeal for stand-by power
to restore rationing and wage
price controls on a limited basis.
Anderson Urges Controls
The party skepticism and out
right opposition came into sharp
focus yesterday when Secretary
of Agricultpre Anderson plugged
for meat rationing and whole
sale price ceilings on meat. He
testified before the Senate Bank
ing committee, which is consld
erlng various bills to re-establish
these wartime controls.
Meanwhile at Harrisburg, Pa..
Secretary Anderson forecasts a
reinstatement of rationing by
popular demand by April or May
of this year.
"I predict that the people will
demand rationing, at least ot
meat by April, or certainly by
May," Anderson told a reporter
at a meeting of Pennsylvania
Farmers last night.
The secretary told the farmers
that demands on American agri
culture under the Marshall plan
will continue at "very high lev
els." and called for "top produc
tion to meet these demands."

Score More Saved From
Death in Alaskan Waters
SEATTLE, Jan. 14. UP Two
more midwinter rescues from
small Alaska vessels wrecked out
to the "westward," in waters
west of Korilak Island and alone
the Alaska Peninsula , have up
wards of a score of passengers
and crew members.
The 15 passengers and crew
men of the Aleutian Mail, all suf
fering from exhaustion and ex
posure, were taken off the beach
and the grounded vessel by a
hoat and salvage crew late yes
terday, the Coast Guard cutter
Cedar radioed.
The Aleutian Mail had eround-
ed near Arch Point, on Unimak
island, early yesterday, and the
s.-11'propelled Army barge BSP
1927, turning to go to its aid,
also grounded and nearly met dis
aster. Floating free, the barge's
crew of approximately nine mes
saged at noon yesterday that the
craft would stay afloat only an
hour longer.
Later, however, fishing vessels
rescued those aboard.
Most of County's
Officials Mum On
Candidacy Query
Two months remain before a
majority of Douglas County's
elective officers must decide
whether or not they wish to be
candidates for re-election this
year, according to an election
bulletin released by County Clerk
Roy Agee.
Although the primary nomi
nating election Is not until May
.'1, March 12 is the latest date
n which petitions or declara
tions of candidacy for nomina
tion for county offices and dis
trict offices within the county
may be filed with the county
clerk.
Most of the county officials
whose oflices are at stake in the
roming elections have main
allied a silence as to their in
tentions. Only one has said that
he intends to be a candidate, and
.hat is County Treasurer Oliver
L. Johnson, who remarked, "1
.xpect to be."
In an Informal poll conducted
at the courthouse this week, all
ihe officials queried adopted a
.ion-committal "attitude or de
clined to be quoted.
County Commissioner H. B.
Roadman, whose third four-year
term ends tnis" year, would not
commit himself. County Clerk
Roy Agee said he was "unde
cided." Mrs. Lula C. Gorrel,
county school superintendent, de
clined to make any statements.
County Surveyor Ben B. living
said he is "undecided,"
Other officers who were not
contacted In the poll are Sheriff
O. T. Carter and Coroner liarry
C. Stearns, whose terms both ex
pire this year. Persons close to
;he sheriff said he plans to run
again, however.
Justice of the Peace Thomas
C. Ilartfiel "doesn't know yet"
whether he'll run for . office
again. The Glendale Justice
Court, also listed in the coming
elections, is presently vacant.
Terms of three commissioners of
Ihe Port ol Umpqua expire this
year. They are James VV. Ford,

Driver Training
Course Urged On
School Teachers
Rex Putnam, superintendent of
public instruction, has Joined
with Secretary of State Kewbry
in urKlng Oregon high school
teachers to attend the driver
training course to be held In Port
land early next month.
Both officials lauder the
course as another forward step
in establishing driver education
and training in high schools
throughout the state. Teachers
successfully completins the five
day training period qualify the
schools they represent for free
dual-controlled driver training
cars.
"I believe most teachers will
find it more convenient to attend
this session, since It is being held
during the school year," Putnam
said. 'Similar courses during the
summer frequently conflict with
vacation jobs or summer work
toward higher degrees."
Scheduled from Februarv 2 to
6. the course will cover 40 class
hours. It is sponsored by the
Portland extension center of the
Oregon State System of Higher
Education under arrangements
with the Oregon State Motor As
sociation, and three hours of
graduate or undergraduate aca
demic credit will be allowed. Pro
fessor Amos E. Neyhart, driver
training expert from the faculty
of Pennsylvania State College,
will supervise instruction and Bob
Glenn, professor of highway en
gineering at Oregon State Col
lege, will serve as course conduc
tor. Applications for enrollment, to
gether with a $10.50 registration
(ec, may be sent to Sidney King,
Oregon State Motor Association,
in Portland.
Tidelands Unwanted by
Southern Pacific Co.
PORTLAND, Jan. 14. .P
The Southern Pacific Company
yesterday bowed out of the con

serting It does not want the tide
lands. The eomoany had been read In
to the controversy bv ex-Goy. Os
wald West, who said the railroad
could claim Lincoln County
beaches by virtue of Durchase of
a long-defunct minor railroad line
10 years ao.
This came as news to the firm,
but after investigation A. T. Mer
cier, company president, said that
Southern Pacific did not want the
lands and offered a formal re
lease or quit-claim to settle title.
West brought in the railroad
when he was fighting the state's
asserted right to dig industrial
sand from the beaches.
