towns is lndlcatlvo of tho com in una!
sentiments, and with tho Southern
Pacific company, through Its land
department, waging a vigorous cam
paign against it, tho outcomo of tho
plnu to create tho Port of Umpqua,
which will bo submitted to a voto of
tho people whoso proporty Is direct

Tho olcctlon will bo held noxt Satur-

of tho Umpqua rivor, mo property

tho assessed valuo of 10,897,00u.
North Against South End.
Tho movement for tho creation of
tho port was Initiated by tho City
of Gardiner, headed by two of Its
wealthiest nnd most influential resi
dents, Wnrron P. Reed and ox-County
Judgo Joseph Lyons. Tho lmm.
dlato purposo is. tho Improvement of
tho harbor at tho mouth of tho
Umpqua, by tho flotation of bonds
to Incrcaso local maritimo commerce,
through which it is hoped to ulti
mately invito the construction of a
railroad. Approximately 1100 citi
zens will voto on tho proposition,
which appears to havo resolved Itself
Into tho question of whothor tho ter
ritory north of Yoncalla will yield
enough affirmative votes to over
come tho ncgatlvo votes that will bo
polled In tho section south of it nnd
Including Yoncnlln.
fl. P. Co. Would Defeat Plnu.
Tho campaign of opposition to tho
projoct Is being waged from tho of
fices of E. O. Young & Company, of
Oakland, chiefly in tho form of a
circular letter drafted, It Is not do
nlod. by tho land department of tho
Southern Pacific railroad, which
owns mnny thousand acres of land
In tho area affected. This lottcr .
adoqiiata numbor of copies has boon
sent to all of tho voters of tho pro
posed port district and wns reprinted
In full In tho Yoncalla Times of last
Friday. It occasioned a big maim

at which stops woro taken to combat
tho offocts of it. Aftor tho adjourn
ment of tho meeting. Wnrren Reed,
In a tologram to the Drain Nonparoll,
which Is a strong champion of tho
port project, announcod that n com
mltteo would visit all of tho settle
ments botweon Gardiner nnd Drain
and "show up tho misleading and
malicious statement" of tho circular.
NtVHMiiern Reflect Sentiment.
To Biimmarlzo tho argument of
tho circular, It says that tho taxpay
ers havo been misled In tho estimate
as to t! o full amount of Indebtedness
with which they would bo called up
on to encumber tholr holdings and
that tho port, If created, would bon
oflt only tho extromo coast end of
tho county, nt tho expense, oven unto
tho next gonorntlon, of tho remain
ing territory. Tho nppearanco of tho
circular In full In tho Yoncnlln Times
Is accepted bh evlilonco that tho pa
por opposes tho port project, and it
doubtless reflects tho Bontlmonts ot
that community. Tho Oakland A'l
vuro Is outspoken editorial.'
ngnlnst tho proposition. Tho Drai
piiini,l lias made nn elaborate
Journalistic battlo for tho port from
the eiy inception of the project anil
Its campaign hns been taking on In
creased vigor as tho day of election
nns drawn nearer.
Short Jetty Now, Long Ono Later.
In tholr campaign propaganda, tho
publicity agents of tho port project
say that tho Immediate plans call for
the construction of a portion of n
north Jotty "short north Jetty" thoy
call It to protect tho bar channel at
tho mouth of tho Umpqua. from Gar
diner to the sea, from tho sands that
nre washod Into It from across tho
north spit. Theta shifting sands oft
en reduco tho dopth of tho cliaiinol
to n minimum of seven font, nnd dur
ing thogo periods vessels nro bar
bound. Hy checking such sands with
n Jetty. It Is polntod out, tho bar
channel will have n minimum depth
of 1 feet the- yo'ir around and thus
permit of iiiilnterruptod mnrlttnio
