lewport May Become Famed
For More Than Just Crabs
!By Eldon Barrett
(United Press Btaff Correspondent)
The Oregon coast town of Newport made crabs famous. Or was
it the crab that made Newport famous? Nevertheless, the Ore
jgon post-war readjustment and development commission is of the
cpinion that Newport has more
future than being the place most
likely to pop into your mind
ivhen you sit down to eat a crab
f" ocktail.
Industry is coming back to the
eld settlement on Yaquina bay.
viewport has been drowsing for
jrears, according to John Kelly,
Commission executive secretary
j The population of the Lincoln
icounty seaport town has nearly
doubled and hundreds of new
iuildings have been erected
since the end of World War II,
felly said.
A study is underway investi
gating the feasibility of develop
ing Newport as an important in
Mustrial city and port. The pro
(leram calls for a 3'A mile rail-
Sroad fill across Yaquina river
ikrom Toledo to the little village
Jof Yaquina.
'This will bring the railroad
to Newport and the fill will pro
vide industrial sites," Kelly said
A mooring basin to accom
modate 600 fishing vessels also
in the program.
Freight now must go to and
from Newport by truck. Few
vessels ply between Newport
and other ports.
World War II rejuvenated To
ledo, located a few miles up the
Yaquina river. During the war
streams of shipping carrying
prefabricated hospitals, bar
racks, barges and tugs flowed
from that port.
Toledo also shipped thousands
of prefabricated and completely
furnished houses for the atomic
bomb plant workers at Hanford
Wash.
Newport is the center of an
important fishing industry
There are located three canneries
handling salmon, crab, and oys
ters. About 1,000 of Us population
are fishermen, according to Kel
ly. Several hundred are can
nery workers.
Newport is best known for ltj
big red-backed crabs which are
shipped to all parts of the United
States. Just last week-end thou
sands of persons participated in
the Newport crab festival, back
ed by civic groups as a promo
tion event.
One of the city's most unique
businesses however is that con
ducted by a small firm that
gathers ferns which are shipped
to eastern florists. The ferns are
kept in cold storage until used
It is estimated that 1Z5 car
loads of ferns go out from New
port by truck each year.
Rail transportation and im
proved harbor facilities would
permit large shipments, not only
of ferns and seafood, but also
lumber and other timber prod
ucts.
Larmer Buys
Lots From City
An offer from D. A. Larmer,
transfer and warehouse opera
tor, to pay the city $600 for four
long lots located at North Com
mercial and B streets was ac
cepted by the city council Wed
nesday night on recommenda
tion of City Manager J. L. Fran-
zen.
The lots are below the street
level and traversed by North
Mill creek, and at present are
used as a dump for old auto
mobile bodies and other debris.
"It is now a Junk heap," the
manager said, and City Engineer
J. H. Davis said "it is a rat
breeder and a dirty, stinking
mess."
This was in reply to a sugges
tion from Alderman Albert H.
Gille that $600 wasn't enough
money. Larmer proposes to use
the property for truck park
ing. Strike Leaves Dead

Too should hare heard Ed Carey
and Spike Miller debating the
merit of Guernseys versus Hol
ateins. Ed's oar firechlef, and Spike
handles hardware bat to hear
them argue you'd have thought that
they'd been dairying for life.
Finally they put it up to Sam
Carter, who breeds dairy cows I
Sam hems and haws . . . and con
cludes there's a lot to be said for
Holsteins, and about as much for
Guernseys . . . take your pick!
. Actually, Ed and Spike were like
people arguing about say, beer
versus buttermilk. Folks who've
never tasted beer will sometimes
get mighty vehement about their
choice of beverages. And folks
who've never tasted buttermilk will
be equally pig-headed.
From where I sit, it's in things
we know nothing about that we
get bigoted and stubborn. But
when it comes to things we know
a lot about, we're able to see both
sides ... be tolerant and reasonable
. . and above all, understanding.
