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.
