Decision of ICC Culmination
of Long Effort After Ad
verse Report by En
gineer Gable Grateful
PORT ORFORD, Ore.. March 26.
(.P) port Orforrt's several hundred
resident went about their work with
a new optimism today as a result of
the Interstate commerce commission s
decision to permit construction of the
proposed OoJd Coast rail llpe.
The decision, announced in Wash
ington culminated long months of
doubt which followed an engineer's
adverse report.
Gilbert E. Gable, mayor of Curry
county's only incorporated town and
bead of the five corporations active
la developing this area, aald: "My
first reaction on receiving news that
our Gold Coast railway was approved
by the I. C. C. was one of gratitude
lor the support, loyalty and faith
shown by citizens of this section In
bringing the decision about.
Many to Prosper
"It will mean that thousands of
people will have happy and prosper
ous environment In this part of the
state.
Gable, who la president of the rati
company, also said: "I am assured
by the United States englneersthat
they will be In a position to recom
mend an immediate survey of the
harbor and the building of a 3.000.
000 breakwater Jetty to protect the
part of the harbor we are now using
for commercial purposes."
The Gold Coast Rullroad company
presented Its application to the In
terstate commerce commission De
cember IS, 1034. An I. C. C. exam
iner on July 28, 1935. disapproved
plans for the 4,160.000 line, on the
grounds there was insufficient public
domand. On August 3. 1033, Ben n tor
Charles McNary (R., Ore.) wired from
Washington an appeal from the dis
approval was being filed. Several
months later, December 11, 1035,
State Public Utilities Commissioner
Frank McCulloch, following a hearing
here, recommended to the I. C. O.
that the construction permit be
granted.
Taps Vasi Resources
A survey of records made during
the controversy showed the 00-mile
line from Port Orford to the South
ern Pacific line at Leland, north of
Grants Pass, would tap 282,000 acres
and 12,000,000,000 feet of stum page.
Oable, In his application, cited large!
iinrtvelorwd deposits of ehromf. cop
per and other valuable metals, and
said the area contained 6 per cent of
all the standing timber la the United
States.
Oable said survey of the region
showed It to be "one of the richest
in potential tonnage remaining with
out railroad facilities In the United
States.
Corporations of which Gable la
president already have taken large
strides In their development activi
ties. Historic Oraveyard Point was
blasted away to make room for the
sew dock, an administration and
other buildings were constructed, a
aawmiU was placed In operation, a
large wharf was built, and local rail
lines Joining the several enterprises
were constructed.
rive Corporations
The five corporations Include the
Gold Coast Rail company, the Last
Frontier Realty corporation, the
Trans-Paclfio Lumber corporation, the
Port Orford Dock and Terminal cor
poration, and the Oregon Engineer
ing corporation which acquired valu
able mining property on the Sixes
river.
Curry county Is known as the only
county to ths United States without
outside rail connections. It la about
two-thirds the size of the state of
Delaware.
Gable and his aides came to port
Orford In 1934. Gable formerly was
connected with the Pennsylvania coal
lines, was a paleontologist and ex
nlorer of the desert area of south
western United States and a weekly
speaker over a national radio nook-

would be expended for equipment,
that the first year's gross revenue
would be as83,7fi0 and that the an
nual gross revenue at the end of five
years would be $1,066,000. The line
would follow the Rogue river most
of Its route.

SALEM, March 30. Federal
soil conservation benefits may be par
ticipated In by 36,734 farmers In Ore
gon representing a total cultivated
acreage of 17302,127, Solon T. White,
director of agriculture, told the As
sociated Press today.
White Just returned from the con
servation meeting of II western states
held at Salt Lake City and outlined
the program as it might affect Ore
gon. Benefits of from $l an acre for
soil building crops to lo an acre for
soil conserving crops planted by far
mers will be psld under varying con
ditions, White declared.
Unit In Earn Htate.
The western division, which In
cludes Oregon, will be In charge of
George E. Farrell at Washington, D.
0., who has been assigned to the 13
states In this district. Each state,
however, will have an organisation of
Its own of five mcmbtrs, mostly fu
rriers, who will operate In conjunction
with the State college extension service.
The state groups to have charge of
the program will likewise name coun
ty committees. White declared. Ths
manner of selection of these groups
will be outlined later by Farrell.
If states desire to continue ths fed
eral benefits under the far-reaching
program, they must enact legislation
within the next two years to make
state laws conform to the federal pro
gram. The federal act provides for
benefits for two years only, for which
(470,000,000 has been appropriated '.or
1036.
Flax Pays More. .
Oregon will receive additional bene
fits for flax planting, White pointed
out. The flax crop, considered a soil
depleting one, will carry In addition
a sum of 20 cents per bushel of aver
age yield on acreage planted of flax
seed In each county.
The matter of selection of soli con
servation and aoll bulldtng crops de
pends largely upon what and bow
acreage had been used before, the
agricultural director continued. It la
hard to point out Just what crops
would be under the various classifi
cations, he commented..
The amount of payments to be
made farmers will be left to the de
termination of the county commit
tees. It will be based upon how much
Is planted over and above what was
being dona now. Payments will be
divided between landlords and ten
ants where share crops were the basis
for rental.
No payments. White emphasised,
will be made to farmers until after
actual evidence of fulfillment of the
grant Is given. Mo advance contracts
will be made. The farmers' base acre
age for any crops Is the amount of
land normally planted to a certain
crop or crops.

depending upon the response, but In
no event will the variance be mere

Crops listed as soil depleting ones
as far as Oregon was concerned, wire
potatoes, melons, strawberries, flax,
small grains and hay.
Soil conserving crops grown In Ore
gon Include winter peas, vetch, clover,
alfalfa and grasses. The building crops
were similar, depending upon what
was used on lands before. In some
Instances the plowed under phase was
emphasized as conserving and soil
building.
Director White announced a meet
ing of the cooperative council In Port
land Thursday for the purpose of
making a study of the program. Dean
William A. Schoenfeld of the Oregon
Agricultural college will preside over
the group which represents all co
operative organisations In the state.

all farm groups, will meet with tho
council later In the day.

This is the engine which

ROTARY OF CEYLON
Dr. LeRoy C. Jensen entertained
the members of the Medford Rotary
club with an Interesting account of
his travels in Ceylon as a feature of
Tuesday luncheon meeting of the
Medford Rotary club at the Hotel
Medford. The speaker painted a col
orful picture of the beautiful Island
with 1U picturesque natives, rem
nants of ancient civilisation and lux
uriant tropical grandeur.
Ceylon, according to Dr. Jensen. Is
spproxlmately 300 miles long and 100
miles wide on which the Inhabitants
live In languid luxury. He told of the
early civilization which was wiped out
by a deadly scourge of malaria, leav
ing imposing temples and crumbling
cities hidden In vsat Jungles of tropi
cal wilderness. Some of these ruins,
visited by Dr. Jensen, were described.
The native roads, foods and wild life
were not overlooked In the speaker's
Interesting address. Lack of sanita
tion with resultant diseases was cited
aa the main disadvantage of living In
this beautiful land.
Why You Should
Never Cut a Corn
If you aw troubled with eoma or
callouses, do not run the risk of blood
poisoning by paring them. StatlMioe
how that many Infection have oc
curred from thla eeemlngly Innocent
practice of paring corns.
Simply go to your druggist and fet
some Ice-Mint, rub a little on any
painful corn or callous. The pain
promptly disappears and In a short
time the corn or callous will loosen
and lift off easily root and all
lesrlng the surrounding skin la
h.lthv normal condition.
t This, together with the fact that
Ice-Mint qulcwy eases sucn troume
as sore, tired, aching, pulled or burn
ing feet mskes them cool, easy and
comfortable. Is probsbly the reason
for the hearty endorsement given It
by druggists.
To rid one's feet of every hard
corn, soft corn, corn between the toes
or painful csllouses In such a pleas
ant and safe way, makes It seem the
height of folly for anyone to pare a
com and people are warned to stop It.
