In discussing the matter of the im
provement of the Yaqulna Bay Har
bor the writer has meot a number .of
people who oppose the idea of tho
people taxing themselves for any por
tion of the money for the payment
thereof. The writer has met, during
tho past week, a number of different
persons who have used this argument:
"You say tha. two thirds of the tax
t will be paid by the owners of tfmbor
in Lincoln County, the- remainder of
the taxpayers In the county paying
the other one third. This sounds very
good, but the timber will be logged off
in ten years, and all we will have left
is the stump?, ..nd the farmers will
have to pay the bonds when they come
due twenty years from now.
Ten years ago I prepared some fig
ures, and used them In an address
that I made before the Willamette
Valley Development League held at
Marlon ' County, Oregon, when I was
urging the Improvement of Yaquina
Bay Harbor, and the building of a
railroad from Salem Oregon, through
the Stletz Country, to Newport. These
figures were published in a number
of papers, and afterward quoted by
James Hill in a speech at Portland,
Oregon: "The resources of the coast
counties are so great that they are
almost unbelievable. One acre of tim
ber land will furnish as much freight
for transportation in one year as will
one acre of. land In the Willamette
Valley in one bundled and fifty years.
When the promoter talks about build
ing a railroad into the great Inland
empire he figures out the amount of
freight to be furnished by any given
territory supplied by wheat growers.
When our Commercial Clubs ask an
appropriation for the Columbia River
they furnish great loads of statistics
referring to the millions of bushels of
wheat tributary to the Columbia, and
r
far:tured Into lumber, and would give
employment to several thousand men
every day in the year for fifty years.
I personally know many hundreds
of acres of land in this county that
Is now heavily timbered with second
growth timber and some of it being
sawed into lumber where 47 year's a&..
there was nothing but burned snags
and blackened stumps, timber lands
in Lincoln County will re-forest ltsolf
in fifty years.

granted. Upon the other hand when
the taxpayers and Commercial Clubs
attempt to enlist capital to build rail
roads into the coast counties they
are confronted with the argument that
there Is no grain raised in these coun
ties, and by reason thereof would
never be sufficient freight to justify
the building of the Railroad. When
the people of the coast counties ask
for an appropriation to improve their
harbors, and at the same time pledge
thcniBclvos to pay one half of the cost
thereof by taxing themselves, and
send a petition to our delegation in
Congress, a mllo long, they will be
confronted with the seemingly un
answerable argument that there Is not
sufficient present or prospective com
merce to justify the Government ln
the expenditure of any money for tho
Improvement thcrfof.
By the way of comparison let us
use a few figures, showing the amount
of produce In the grain producing
country as well as an acre of land ln
the coast counties. Statistics show
that an average acre of land will pro
duce thirteen bushels of wheat. After
deducting three bushels for seed, feed
and bread, there Is left for shipment
ten bushels, which at sixty pounds
per buBhel would amount to six hun
dred pounds per acre. At this rate
one acre of land would produce for
shipment in a hundred years sixty
thousand pounds or thirty tons. In
the coast counties 'the lowest esti
mate placed on an acre of timbered
lands is thirty thousand foot, and
many timber men and Government
place it at forty thousand
TfTff?fMTfTf f 1TTTT1
T j feot an acre. One thousand feet of
lunmer weighs two thousand pounds.
Thirty thousand feet of lumber weighs
sixty thousand pounds.. Then there
Is left on an acre of timbered Linda,
after It has been logged off, the small
timber and forty to fifty feet ol the
tops of trees which at a low eutlmato
will ninke fifteen cords of wood. A
cord of dry wood will weigh two
thousand pounds. Thus an average
acre of timbered lands In the coast
counties will produce as much freixht
for transportation In one year as will
an arre of land In the Willamette Val
ley ln a hundred and fifty years, and
after the timber Is loggod off, It will
produce more pasture on an acre of
land than will an acre of land In the
Wlllumette Valley by reason of tin
moisture from the ocean.
It Is estimated that in Lincoln Coun
ty there Is eUhteen billion foet of
merchanlablo timber. If this timber
was sawed Into lumber it would take
a vessel of the carrying rapacity of on
million feet every dny ln the year for
fifty years to transport this lumber to
market, and It would renulre the ser
vice of one hundred cars every day
