The Williams Company
invited citizens to their open house at Seven Feathers Convention Center
in Canyonville to show the process and the benefits of the proposed
pipeline to Oregon. The pipeline they plan to lay, is 36 inches wide.
"During pipeline
construction at its peak, we expect there to be 18-hundred jobs that
need to be filled in order to get the job done," said Dan Lattin,
the project manager.

There were some against
the pipeline on principle, and some against it because of the land-use
