IT SEEMS TO ME
rm.
B y Dewey
Last Thursday evening, just as
I was about to lock the shop at
5:30, Mrs. Phillips, chief oper
ator, handed me the following tel
egram, which, at the time didn’t
hold any particular meaning to
me and not until after I had
eaten dinner and was relaxed in
an easy chair: “Chetco harbor
survey resolution authorizing U.
S. Engineer review favorably re
ported by the public works com
mittee today.”
At the moment it did not dawn
upon me what this message con
tained. I had khown of the pre
vious harbor survey and how all
appropria turns for this type of
work had been forgotten during
the war. But after recalling the
visit last fall of Harris Ellsworth,
congrt ssman f r o m the Fourth
District, did tin meaning come
to me with any reason.
The old U. S. army engineers’
survey, made in the late '30s, is
revived. Action toward creating
‘en given new
life, and
work is being

omy of Oregon and northwest
California would be given a defi
nite boost should such, action be
carried to completion.
A special meeting of board of
directors of Brookings Chamber
of Commerce was held Friday
evening, to plan assistance of any
nature asked by the federal gov
ernment. Certainly a wave of op
timism accompanies the receipt
of this telegram, vague as it may
seem to the average reader. It
looks like this section of Oregon,
including Grants Pass, Medford,
aiui eastward, are included, in
a boom of new industries and
business.
Ultimate outcome of this proj
ect, and the future of this area,
depends largely upon the co-op
eration given this movement. It
will not stand up under disunity,
lack of harmony, and petty bick
ering. Behind the movement we
must put a united front, and be
willing to accept all favors the
federal government may bestow.
It doesn’t take a real intelli-»
gent person to quickly sum up
what a harbor could mean to
this part of Oregon, now beset
by transporation problems gigan
tic in proportions, and so terrify
ing that the economy of the area
is almost strangled. A harbor in
southwest Oregon would mean
a new economy, perhaps so gi
gantic that few could compre-
hend the ultimate goal.
Harris Ellsworth, I have often
repeated through these columns,
certainly works for the better-
went of this district. his very
men, too. He is thoughtful of his
const if ut nts and lets them know
what he's doing and what is be
ing done in their behalf. He. at
his visit here* last fall, promised
to get a review if possible, and
he did just that, thus the tele
gram received Thursday.
letters, telegrams. and data
have gone out to hasten action
on this project, and no doubt,
Mr. Ellsworth is fully armed at
m nfent
put
a
light for more action on the har
bor project. Time will tell, and
herein lies the co-operation this
area can give him in the battle.
