Harbor improvements are properly the function
of the general government, due to the fact that such
work is in the interest of the people as a whole. The
policy is sound and has stood the test of time. Im­
provements, such as jetties, breakwaters, etc., cannot
be constructed by private capital owing to the fact
that there is no return on the investment with which
to pay interest, principal and profit; hence funds for
such work cannot be obtained.
Practically Free from the Prevailing Fogs
The only no bar, non-rivermouth harbor between
the Golden Gate and the Straits of Juan de Fuca—a
harbor susceptible of entry during any weather con­
dition—is the natural deep water harbor at Port Or­
ford. Recognized by the Federal Government for im­
provement since 1879, and such improvement being
recognized by seafaring men generally as a necessity,
the Port Orford Chamber of Commerce is now pre­
paring its case for hearing before the Board of En­
gineers, Washington, for the improvement of the har­
bor of refuge.
