The whole-hearted cooperation of
the people of the entire Coquille val­
ley in making the tug and barge ser­
vice possible is to be commended. In
making the necessary investments to
establish this service, the Port of
Bandon has paved the way for an
era of renewed activity and develop­
ment that will bring benefits to the
tune of thousands of dollars to busi­
ness and enterprise of every nature.
It will make possible full realization
upon the investment in harbor facili­
ties of not only the Port of Bandon
but the investment of the federal
government as well.
We may well look upon the future
of this section with confidence for
it has all the natural resources to
make it a beehive of industry, and
the development of its harbor fa the
removal of the greatest single barrier
to a full realization of its possibili­
ties.
