ollovu within tho invnnr.it e limits of
county representative to Washington tne .,tv. Hre nec.iH,.ed to he as speci-
to appear before the vivers and har
-tors committee and the board of
army engineers in behalf ot the con
struction of a harbor at Crescent
City, says George Putnam in the Mail
Tribune.
Army engineers, after exhaustive
surveys and examinations, have re
' ported favorably upon the construc
tion of a harbor at Crescent City at
an estimated cost of $1,800,000,
which will have an average depth of
twenty-four feet at low tide. They
have, however, refused to recom
mend its construction until assured
that such a harbor is essential to the
development ot the country served,
aad convinced that a considerable
area will be benefited thereby.
Capital, according to those who
have spent considerable time and
money in the effort, cannot be inter
ested in the building of a railroad
for this valley to the coast unless
assured that such a harbor will be
constructed. Tho railroad, therefore,
depends upon the harbor and the
harbor, to a certain extent, upon the
Tailroad.
A harbor at Crescent City and a
railroad connecting would be worth
millions of dollars to Jackson county.
In short, it would assure develop
ment ot natural resources now im
possible because of freight rates and
the long overland haul. A short road
to water, with the Panama canal
opened, would revolutionize condi
tions throughout this region. It
would make copper mining a possibil
ity by providing smelter sites as well
as transportation.
A few years ago the county sent
Will G. Steel to Washington in behalf
of Crater Lake. As a result nearly
three-quarters of a million dollars are
being expended there, all of which
will Indirectly benefit the commun
ity during future years.
