A New Opportunity for Curry County
T h e ojiening of S o u th Coast M illing C om pany’s new plant
here, and th e ir plans for m ass tra n s p o rta tio n of finished lum ber
by barge, m ay very well be one of the tu rn in g points in the
econom ic history of C u rry C ounty.
W e have fought here, since th e first se ttle rs, a condition
w hich has kept o u r pro d u cers alw ay s in the bight. T h a t condi
tio n is o u r isolation from the m a rk e ts which need o u r m a te ria ls.
T h ere has never been such a thing as a co m p etitiv e m a rk e t
fo r S o u th e rn C u rry C ounty. O u r producers not only have had
to m eet th e prices of o th e r regions for the p ro d u c ts we have
sold. . . we have ha«l, also, to absorb th e e x tra tra n s p o rta tio n
co sts n ec essita ted by o u r position.
And th e pro d u cers we have had here have done m agnificently
In c a rry in g on th e uphill b a ttle ag ain st tra n s p o rta tio n costs. T he
fact th a t a u r p ro d u cts arc in th e m a rk e t at all testifies th a t
th e y have produced su p erio r products at less a c tu a l costs th an
m o re accessible regions.
Now the S o u th ( ’oast group, th ro u g h the cooperation of its
su p p ly in g nulls, j»r<»|x»s»‘s to cut o u r tra n s p o rta tio n costs still
