Pioneer Passes The New Year presents a reassuring outlook for the whole of southwestern Oregon, which is blessed with great natural wealth in standing timber, minerals, agricultural and horticul­ tural lands, deep-sea fishing, and natural recreational advant­ ages second to none. The tide of investment money, as well as the tide of tourist travel, is turned Oregonward, and the excep­ tionally rich area embraced in southwestern Oregon is due to become the beneficiary in a large measure. Curry county, recently opened up to through north and south travel by the scenic Roosevelt highway, is destined to re­ ceive the full development to which it is entitled by reason of its great variety of natural resources, and 1929 promises to see that development well under way. j Jands The beautiful natural deep-water harbor at Port Orford strategically controls the full economical development of the great southwestern Oregon area, and Port Orford’s future is consequently assured, with 1929 witnessing its movement for­ ward to a great degree. The News extends its wishes to the people of southwestern Oregon for a Happy and Prosperous 1929. Billboard Opposition Crescent City All-Stars Win Basketball TeainS Langlois (¡range Meeting , - D I .
