Lea Urges Army Board To Approve Dredging And Visions Railroad Senator Steiwer Backs Plan. By H. C. HUNTER (AMltJ Vnm Pacific NorthwMt Corrwponaeni) nrAsHmaTON. Auk. 11. UPi Pointing out that 48,510.000,000 feet of virgin timber la awaiting aoremp m.nt it, aouthern Oreeon and north ern California, Representative Ki, of Santa Roa, Calif., haa pictured to the army board of englneera a bright future for the little town of Crescent Olty, Calif. Lea la backing a propoaal to dredge the harbor of Crescent City to a depth of 80 feet to permit the dock ing of ocean-going veaaela. Ualng figures obtained from the United 8tatea forest service the rep resentative aald there wae a total of 1,668,000,000.000 feet of uncut timber in the United States, of which 1,34.9, 000,000,000 feet was virgin timber. Of the virgin stands remaining In this country, Lea said, 050,000.000.000 feet is in the three Pacific coast states of Washington, Oregon and callforn.a. Ho estimated that 48.510.000.000 feet of this virgin timber was In one California and three Oregon counties which could be tapped by a deep sea harbor at crescent City. "Wo are drawing on our lumber supply about five times as fast jui the growth," Lea said. "At present other regions are furnishing most of the timber, but that Is only hasten ing the time when the Pacific coast will be the principal source of sup-ply- Tho representative predloted that within a comparatively short tlma the lumber available from the forests In the mountains back of Crescent City would be needed. When that time comes,, he said, a good port will be essential at Crescent City. Pointing out that the little Cali fornia city Is the "natural outlet for the southern Oregon and northern California timber," Lea said there "Is nothing more sensible than construct ing a harbor or a road along a natural line of travel." He envisaged e time when a trans continental railroad would link Cres cent City with the east by way of Klamath Palls, and through Nevada. "With the completion of the Crea cent city harbor," Lea said, "all of the Pacific coast and hinterland be tween San Francisco and Portland would be developed." At the present the little California city has no rail outlet, but a line has been proposed from Grants Pass, Ore., through the vast mountain timber lands to that point. Such a railroad would be available for transporting the lumber end logs to tidewater at the California port and would hasten the development of the city, backera of the rail line have aald, Development of Crescent City as a harbor also has the backing of Ore Ron congressional representatives, Senator Steiwer of Portland, having urged that It be dredged to permit Its use by see-golng vessels so that an outlet for southern Oregon pro ducts would be available. The site was Inspected recently by members of the army board of en glneera while on a tour of the Pa cific coast region. T Tomorrow a caravan will leave South Grape street en route to Grant Paaa, where Med ford citizen, under the leadership of R- O. Stephenson will greet General Charles H.
