C. of C. Favors
' Walter W.. R. May, manager of the
Portland chamber of commerce, who
submitted a resolution to his direc
tors favoring the proposed construc
tion If economically feasible, was
among those testifying.
May said that the chamber had
previously taken a similar stand re
garding the rival Gold Coast road,
represented at the hearing, and had
not changed Its position.
The Gold Coast, line, which would
extend 00 miles Inland from Port
Orford, was represented at the hear
ing by Gilbert Gable, president, and
mayor of Port Orford.
Nell R. Allen of Grant Pass, rep
resenting that city, the O. & C. C.

Coast does If allowed to."
I Would Aid Timber men
Representatives 01 a number of

the road would bring possibility of
great expansion of timber operations
in the area affected.
Before leaving for their homes to
await a decision, the proponents of
the proposals beard N. G. Wallace,
state public utilities commissioner,
voice a plea from Governor Martin
for speedy construction of an out
let. "Governor Martin feels that south
western Oregon has greater poten
tial values than any other undevel
oped section of the United States,"
he said.
"He feels that the only way south
western Oregon can be developed Is
through construction of railroad
lines connecting the Southern Pa
cific with the coast. Cheap power of
Bonneville should make it possible
to develop at a profit ore deposits
found in this area.' A railroad la
needed to bring these deposits out.
"Governor Martin hopes a railroad
will be built as soon as possible."
