N Improvement May Be Thwart ed Despite Citizens' Con tribution of Funds. PORTLAND PAPERS PRINT THE REPORT Col Roessler In Final Estimate Includes Work on Coos and Coquille Rivers. Although the required amount to defray the expenses of operating the dredge which the government is hav ing constructed at Portland for Im proving Coos Bay's harbor channel has been raised by local subscrip tion, there is now a danger that tho dredge may not be secured. Port land papers publish reports that it has been decided not to send tho dredge here, the Oregonian placing: that interpretation on tho final report of Col. S. W. Roessler, the engineer In charge of the government im provements on the North Pacific coast, who retired from office Sat urday. Walter Lyon, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, left for Port land via Drain today and will try to impress the new government en gineer with the necessity of sending tho dredge here. He took consider able correspondence, showing that Coos Bay had done Its part when 1 was discovered that Congressman Hawley and the Oregon congres sional delegation had failed to have the $25,000 in the Coos Bay harbor improvement fund transferred so as to be available for operating the dredge. The government engineer's office at Portland was notified by wire that Coos Bay citizens had sub scribed the amount necessary to operate the dredge. If the dredge is not sent to Coos Bay, many people feel that it will bo because Portland has acted sel fishly in the desire of "hogging" the Improvements or of preventing Coos Bay receiving any recognition. Tho Portland Claim. The Portland Oregonian: "Reference Is made to the new dredge being constructed for use on the, outside" harbors. The craft will be ready for service next month, but thero is yet no appropriation for operating. It was the intention to send her to Coos Bay, but this Is at present out of the question. Thero has been talk of the Marshfleld Chamber of Commerce putting up sufficient money for operation but this is not official. "Work has also been done on tho Clatskanie, Lewis and Deep Rivers In the way of removing snags and obstructions to light draft boats. There has also been some work done on Coos and Tillamook bays as well as on the Coquille river." Loral Improvements. In the itemized appropriation ask ed by Col. Roessler for tho North Pa cific coast during the next two years ire the following: Coquille river 32.210.3S Coos Bay 1,444.94 Coos river 1,970. 0 Tho Portland Journal says: "A now project proposes the deep enlng of the bay at Coos Bay to 18" feet at low water to the town of Marshfleld. A pipe suction dredge.' Is now under construction for this purpose. It Is recommended that the available balance on the Coos Bay jetty appropriation be expended lit operating this dredge."
