REPORT ON COOS BAY BAR AND HARBOR The following report on Coos Bay was furnished the Marshfleld Cham ber of Commerce by Col. Roessler. It includes data on the recent survey made by Engineer Carroll. of tho Arago: Coos Bay Is a tidal es"tuary on the Pacific' coast In Oregon, about 400 miles north of San Francisco, Cal. Except Humbolt, it is tho principal harbor between, tho mouth of the Columbia river and San Francisco. Before Improvement the obstructions consisted of tho usual bar in the ocean at the entrance of the bay and of shoals Inside the bay near Its entrance formed by sand which blows down the beach during northwesterly winds. The depth of the ocean bar was often but 10 feet at low tide. Tho original project for the im provement of Coos bay received the approval of the secretary of war November 14, 1879. It provided for tho construction of a jetty from a point about 250 yards below tho southern extremity of Fossil Point, on a line toward the east end of Coos Head, this line curving so as to be directed at its outer end to the head, or a little north of it, tho structure to be of wood and stone, or stono, as should bo found best. The estimate cost was ?G00, 000. The amount expended on tho or iginal project was 213,750, with which 1,700 feet of timber crib and rubble-stone jetty was built. .Tho existing project, adopted by act of congress approved September 19, 1890, is that of a board of en gineers dated October 27, 1889, and It approved for obtaining and main taining a channel 20 feet deep at low -tide through tho ocean bar 'at the entrance to tho hay by confin ing the entrance between two hlgh tldo 'rubble-stono jetties, the north Jetty to be 9,000 feet long and tho south jetty 4,200 feet long. The estimated total cost of the existing project, exclusive of tho amount expended on tho origi nal project, is ?2,4GG,412.20. The amount expended thereon up to tho close of the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1907, is $090,988.05, of which $171,988.05 was for main tenance of Improvement. The expenditures on this im provement to 'date have resulted In the construction of tho submerged Jetty" near. Fossil Point under the UAM)OX NOTES. Bandon, October 12.
