Senator Alfred H. Corbett, Demo­
cratic nominee for secretary of state,
praised economic development ef­
forts of the Port of St. Helens August
22, in a talk to Columbia county
Democrats, at the Democratic booth,
Columbia county fairgrounds.
“Tile strip of land in Columbia
county, lying along the Columbia ri­
ver, is potentially the most important
industrial site in the Northwest,”
Senator Corbett said. “This land is
especially valuable because it: Ad­
joins the 40-foot channel; it is well
joins the 40-foot channel; is well
placed and large enough to be usable
by heavy industry; will draw on in-
roeasingly valuable forest lands now
under reforestation; has access to
low cost power, good rail service and
roads which will give access to the
metropolitan area,” Corbett added.
Senator Corbett gave special praise
to the efforts of the Port of St. Hel­
ens. "Your Port of St. Helens de­
serves special praise for the leader­
ship it has shown in encouraging eco­
nomic development in the area, for
its ability to work cooperatively with
local interests and with state and
federal agencies.
"The port shows real foresight in
its interest in obtaining use of the
Beaver ammunition depot lands, be­
cause it is a prime industrial site,”
concluded the Senator.
Senator Corbett recalled that he
had been in Columbia county in his
capacity of chairman of the legisla­
tive subcommittee on economic de­
velopment, holding one of the 16
hearings exploring methods of step­
ping up industrial and job opportuni­
ties in the state in order to meet the
challenge of automation.
The senator added, “Besides your
excellent industrial potential, you
have almost unlimited possibilities to
improve your recreation facilities
and attract business through fishing,
boating and camping.”
"I was impressed by the spirit of
optimism and enthusiasm shown by
residents of Columbia county, and
expect a brilliant future for this
area," Senator Corbett said.
