Building Program
Chetco River, noted for its fishing for silverside and steelhead salmon, offers to
probable future investors in the fishing industry, something of a haven, provided a
jetty of some sort is erected to prevent tidal action from fillin g ’ the mouth w ith
sand. However, this scene offers much, as it is, to the people who love fishing from
row boats, or with outboard motor rigs. E. E. Hanscam & Sons’ H arbor Store is
shown in the centei foreground. Pioneers in the mercantile hoM Mtts of the area, this
establishment has more than tripled its floor space in the last five years.
