FOR BIGVESSELS
Development Project Leader
Outlines Program Not
Seeking Outside Capital
Nor Selling Stock for Plan
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 28. (AP)
Gilbert E. Oable today disclosed hla
plans and the plana of his associates
for the breaking down of America's
last frontier that richly endowed
southwestern corner of Oregon,
through the medium of water trans
portation. Gable, leader In a program of de
velopment already started at Port
Orford, was ono of the "13 apostles"
of the Liberty loan drive In the
World war. He Is a former public re
lations man in Pennsylvania for the
Bell system; Is closely allied with
bankers, railroad owners and others,
and la said to have developed the
present harbor and dock system at
Lima, Peru.
Today, In Portland, he discussed
the possibilities of Curry county and
plans for development of Port Orford
as a deep water port.
To BulM Termlnnl
Briefly, he plans to build at Port
Orford a breakwater terminal to ex
tend from the peninsula at the
northern end of the harbor, thus
locking In part of the bay. The en
tire structure would be about 1.000
feet long with berthing space of 600
feet on either side, or half Its length.
"Eight months out of the year,"
Gable said, "ships will be able to use
the seaward an well as the Inshore
aide with a minimum depth of 38
feet of water available.
"The rest of the time they can use
the lee aide. The terminal will be
built along aueh lines as to stand
the ocean's onslaughts. Thousands of
tons of steel, cement and stone will
be used. Exposed docks have been
successfully built before and will be
built here."
Not Selling Stork
Only the barrier of costly trans
portation has kept Curry county In
that stage described aa the "forest
primeval," Gable said. He pointed out
It has an area two-thirds aa large as
the state of Delaware; that It Is one
of the richest spots on the globe In
natural resources such as fir and
spruce lumber, gold, minerals and
metals.
And he emphasized this: "We are
not seeking outside capital. We have
now and will have cash to pay as we
go. We have no promotion company
with stock to sell."
He mentioned, too, that "there Is
no room In our plans for outside la
bor, and neither port Orford nor the
back county can support any Influx
of such. It Is no Eldorado."

THEY'RE SAFE -IN
AN AIL-STEEL BODY
-a feature of the big, rugged New-Value Dodge
THE first Dodge car ever built had
an all-steel body. It wasn't chance
... it wasn't "climbing on a band
wagon" that led Dodge to the safety
of the all-steel body. It ws progres
sive engineering, the urge to pioneer,
to lemd and not follow In vital, Im
portant automobile improvements.
These Dodge bodies havebe en tested
and proved by owners for over 20 years,
everywhere, in constant daily use.
Dodge not only pioneered the all-steel
body but has constantly perfected it
over the years.
80. too. with hydraulic brakes. First
introduced by Dodge many years ago,
DgJkC ii:insUnily developed them.
Today, Dodge gives you hydraulic
brakes that are long past the experi
mental stage. For in Dodge you get
perfected, dual-cylinder hydraulic
brakes safer, more dependable, more
economical thin other types.

FOR BERRY PEST
The "red berry" disease of blsrk
beirlea and Young berries may be suc
cessfully controlled by spraying all
canes with liquid lime sulfur, one
gallon to twelve gallons of water, at
this time of season, states L. P. Wil
cox, county agent.
This socalled "disease" Is In reality
caused by a small mite, which works
lte way Into the hr.ds during the
bloom period and so Injures the berry
that normal development la Impos
sible. Injured berrlen remain red In
color and fall to mature, thereby
causing severe crop leweu. The Him
alaya variety la moat auoeptlble, but
Injury Is known to occur to a certain
extent on all varieties, even tho
growing In the wild state. Young -berrlea
are subject to this Insect also,
and should be given protection by the
spray recommended above.
Growers desiring a crop of edible
berrlea are advised to plan at this
time to spray all their vlnre with the
lime sulfur solution before the buds
break open. Insdlstrlcts where wild
blackberries are harvested, It la sug
gested that some community effort
be made to spray these vines as rec
ommended. y - . tv- ,1
Now Dodge pioneers again the "Air
glide Hide", In which you speed
smoothly along with new comfort,
skimming over bumps without a
tiemor or jar, taking the curves safely,
without Bides way. Another new con
tribution to motoring rase 'Synchro
nistic Control", which makes driving
unbelievably easy and effoitlesa.
You'll rerogniie this Dodge as a
pnre beauty the minute you see it.
But you must drive it to see hnw far
ahesd of others it is in power end
speed, comfort and economy, safety
and performance.

OF NORMANDY
GIVEN AT HI SCHOOL
A large and enthulastlc crowd last
night witnessed the high school op
eretta, the "Chimes of Normandy."
which was presented for the eecond
time. The performance of the cast
was equal, if not superior to that
given the evening before, with all the
characters again acting In almost a
professional manner.
. Miss Mary Kem gave a remarkable
performance, and displayed a splen
did soprano voice. Robert Murphy
showed probably the best acting abil
ity, with Harvey Field showing the
most promising propensities for fut
ure operetta work.
The school orchestra, under the
able direction of F. Wilson Watt,
furnished all the musical scores
through the production, and much
credit la due them f jt the remarkable
effects produced through their ef
fort. Another good point of the perfor
mance waa that given by the various
choruses, who showed understanding,
and the results of long, patient work
by their instructor, Mrs. Esther
Church Leake. Particularly fine was
the men's chorus which rendered "Let
Our Torches."
The whole performance. . mualcal.
dramatical, vocal and mechanical was
surprising for a high school produc
tion, and. the many hundreds who
witnessed the performance are look
ing forward to toe nexs production.
