"The area legitimately tributary to the Crescent City harbor was the most conspicuous example ot econ , omlc waste In 40,000 miles ot tra vel,w waa the terse manner in which Captain Wilson I. Davenny. field sec retary of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, summed up his ob servations after arriving In Grants Pass from the eoast Friday. The captain had "been making an investigation of the Crescent City harbor and of the reasons for its development He had come up the coast from Eureka to Crescent City, then overland to Grants Pass, and all the time he was absorbing facts and figures and impressions that might have a bearing upon the suc cess of the project. ' Uncle Sam Is more particular these days than he waa once upon a time. He wants to know that there is need tor a new harbor or an improved waterway be fore the hard-earned dollars of his nephews and nieces are jaid out for breakwaters and dredgings. The mission of the captain in his travels about the country is to assemble for his organization this information and at the same time to build up a sentiment among the people toward the establishment of the commercial value of waterway Improvement. The congress believes that advance in the development of the resources of the nation can best follow the fostering of needed harbor and waterway pro jects. That "economic waste" of which the captain spoke most impressed it self upon him, he told the' Courier, as he witnessed the hauling of lum ber and ore from mill and mine to the end of the railroad at Waters Creek, there for rail transpotation to the markets. "Only the best of ore and lumber of the first quality could stand that long and expensive haul and yet return a profit to. the producer," remarked the captain. And In "that he saw one of the chief reasons for the building of a harbor at Crescent City. Then, with rail connection with the hinterland, this "economic waste" would disappear. Ore would go to the coast. Lumber and apples would be loaded upon ahlps for cheap water transportation, and there would be greater profit for the producer and lowered cost for the consumer. The "economic waste" would be a thing of the past. Captain Davenny left no doubt as to his personal views concerning the Crescent City harbor project. While insisting that he may not commit the congress to any expression regarding the project, the captain told the Courier that personally and unre servedly he could say that In his opinion the project for creating a harbor at Crescent City is one of the worthiest of government approval that he has encountered on the three coasts the Atlantic, ihe Gulf, or the Pacific. "And the most illuminating two days' travel that I have ever had in the United States was that from Crescent City to Grants Pass," con tinued the captain. He had come from Crescent City Thursday through the great redwood forests, and at Takllma he was handed over to the guidance of Dr. J. P. Reddy. There he absorbed from the doctor's great fund of Information and got first hand data regarding the copper and chromic ores being shipped, lie said that lie needed no tetter evidence of the value of the ores than the fact that it was being hauled 1J miles by TUNA, . v - SALMON CALIFORNIA HRA1 LKTTmC CKl.KRV d'CTMBKRS iRKKX PKPPKltS CARRAQN KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Yv ':;l V-.' i Quality First -.V'. wagon and then shipped to Tairoma in the one instance and to New York In the other, and yet was returning a profit. ' Captain Davenny met with a rep resentative number of members of the Commercial club Friday evening, and gave a most interesting address concerning the value of waterway and harbor improvement. He has made a profound study of the Ques tion, and be left his audience more than ever impressed with the neces sity of reaching tidewater with the new railroad in the shortest possible time. ... :. . The Courier most sincerely hopes that full investigation may disprove the first reports regarding the wreck ing of machinery at the Golden Drift dam. If it was the work of vandals, it must cast a reflection upon the entire citizen body. A "man" who vents his spite upon those for whom he gains a prejudice, or against whom he may have a legitimate grievance, through the methods of the dyna miter is about the most reprehensible criminal In the category., There will come relief, therefore, if it can be clearly shown that it was an accident that caused the damage Thursday night; - ; Manager Xibley, of the sugar fac tory, says that if there were, 5,000 acres of beets such as those on the Hood and other ranches available the factory would be 'swamped."
