Keeping Valley's Economy One -Jump
Ahead of Population Seen
Major Problem by C-C Speaker
Keeping our economy at least
one jump ahead of our rapidly
increasing population that's
the major problem in Jackson
and Josephine countiei accord
ing to Glenn Jackson, vice-pres
ident of California-Oregon Pow
er company.
Jackson was speaking last
night to some 90 members and
guests of the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce at a din
ner meeting at the Medford ho
tel. The guests included 28 col
lege and high school instructors
and college students who were
here studying the area's natural
resources.
A statistical account of the re
sources and economic advance
ment of southwest Oregon
Jackson and Josephine coun
ties was presented by Jackson,
Absorbs Growth
"It is amazing," he said, "how
the area has managed to absorb
its yearly population increase of
3,600 without harming the econ
omy. We aren't interested in at
tracting - people to the area.
Rather we must work to buid
up the Industry to keep our pop
ulation at a high living stand
ard."
Jackson described progress
and the need for additional
progress in the lumbering, ag
riculture, mining and tourist in
dustries. In each case he held
out hope for a considerable ex
pansion of income to the Jack
son-Josephine area.
Timber here is being cut at a
rate double the government's an
nounced allowable sustained
yield cut, according to Jackson.
Thus the time will soon come
when substantially fewer lum
bermen and fewer sawmills will
be able to be used. Soon the
area's private timberlands will
be exhausted and only government-owned
forests will remain,
Then the government's sustain
ed yield allowances will be en
forced, he added.
Two Solutions
In preparation for this, Jack
son advocated two solutions:
Greater utilization- of timber-
lands and more extensive utili
zation of the logs themselves.
For better use of the lands, he
said, 800 miles of additional
roads are necessary. "We must
make the lands more accessable.
This probably would result in
the government's sustained yield
figure being increased nearer to
what we are now cutting.
"Economy," Jackson added,
"is forcing a greater number of
man hours per thousand feet of
timber produced. Much greater
use is being made of the logs
being brought out."
Except for livestock, there
have not been huge Increases in
the value of agriculture here,
Jackson contended, because
about the same amount of land
is available for agriculture as
was available years before. He
said the place of agriculture can
not be greatly' expanded until
such projects as the proposed
Bear creek and Illinois valley
reservoirs are accepted. (Pro
posed development of these res
ervoirs is now before the secre
tary of the interior.)
Must Develop Housing
Speaking of the area's $12
million tourist income, Jackson
said there are "certain notable
drawing cards, but we must de
velop the housing facilities to
stop the tourists long enough to
give the local people a chance
to extract their dollars. Because
of a lack of facilities we must
turn down many tourist trade
possibilities.
Jackson told of the area's min
ing possibilities in chrome, cop
per, nickel, manganese and clay
"In the Rogue valley, as in all
Oregon," Jackson said in con
clusion, there are people com
ing in and those people will
build industry.'
But he cited the difficulties in
encouraging Eastern investment
in this "pioneer area." There is
no long-term paying record of
investment here, so investors
must be found who are willing
to gamble, according to Jack
son.
Harbor Seen Detriment
"An ocean harbor would be
a detriment rather than an as
set to our area," Jackson said
in answer to a question about a
direct highway route to an ocean
port. "We don't want to send
out raw materials. We must de
velop them ourselves. The value
of a deep-water port is very def
initely questionable

Guard Rail Smashed

Light Plane Landing
On Mountain Proved
' Hood River (U.R) Lt. John
Hodgkin said Wednesday he has
proved that a light ski-equipped
plane can safely land and take
off from Mt. Adams in southern
Washington.
Hodgkin, accompanied by
Earl Dean, landed and took off
twice from the summit ,of the
12,307-foot mountain Tuesday.
The 43-year-old Air Force pilot
first accomplished the trick
Monday.
Dean is the son of the presi
dent of Pacific Sulphur comp
any, sponsor of Hodgkin's high
landings. The mining company
has some new ideas for investi
gating possible sulphur deposits
in the area and asked Hodgkin
to see if workers could be
flown to the site.
