HAVE WRITTEN The committee named at the re cent meeting of the commercial bodies to the Bay to try and llSve the United States Engineers chwfge their recommendation fpp Improving 4he Coos Bay bar from a bar dredge to tho jetty proposition, have writ ten Major Mclndoe concerning it. Their letter was forwarded Novem ber 2 but as yet they have not re ceived any answer to it, probably owing to Major Mclndoe being still confined by Illness. The committee was composed of Peter Loggie, Dr. E. Mingus and J. W. Bennett. Their letter to Major Mclndoe follows: "An emergency has arisen by which at a meeting of the Marshfield Chamber of Commeice, the under signed were appointed a committee to bring the matter to your atten tion. And by reason thereof, we re spectfully submit that the emergen cy referred to has occurred at the entrance of the bay, by reason of a portion of the north Jetty being sub merged or removed by the winter stornjs so that the sand from tho shore north of the jetty was washed -through the broken places, creating .shoals, which unless attended to, Avlll seriously Interfere with the navigation of the entrance to the harbor. - f- "The Committee has discussed the hiat.er with the captains of the steamers Breakwater, Plant, Nann Smith, Czarina, and A'llance, who are navigating the entranco continu ally, and in addition, have- talked tho matter with Captain McGee of the tug Columbia and also discussed the matter with parties who have been Interested In the navigation of tho harbor for many years; and we respectfully submit that wo believe we are representing the honest be lief of all with whom we have talk ed that something should be done forthwith by your depaitment to wards repairing and reconstructing tho north jetty so as to prevent this and from washing through the breaks. f "We would also represent that re- cently one of the vessels above re ferred to struck something while crossing the bar which has carried away her rudder, and it is believed by many on account of the depth of water that the rudder must have been carried away by one of tho rocks which had been washed from the jetty with the broken parts -above referred to. "And it has also been said and our congressmen concurred that Upon this emergency being made clear by your report and the prob able cost of repairing and recon structing the north jetty, could be accomplished for two hundred thou sand dollars less than the cost and operation of the proposed sea-going dredge, for which an appropriation of five hundred thousand dollars has been recommended by your depart ment, that the congressman could probably delay that appropriation aud get what your engineer depart- w ment would recommend that Is ne cessary for the repair and leeon strue'lon of tho north jetty, by rea son of this emergency. It was tho wish of those attending tho mass meeting when your committee was appointed, that tho committee per sonally call upon you, but by rea son of your rt'cen illness and the fact of you being about to take a racatlon, tho committee has decided to submit I lie mattor to you in this way, so that you can puss the de Kalls over more easily to some of ycur assistants In case you are un able to give It attention. The com mittee also regrets being compelled to ask j on to give tho matter any thought at all un U you havo en tirely recovered, but understanding that you are again ot the olllco for a short time and tho linpoitnuco of this emergency to the nalgatlon of Goos Bay, wo respectfully submit this condition of nffaiih to you as we got It from tiO best Informed rocldPits here regarding tho naviga tion of Coos Bay."

For the relief of a "common cold," there Is nothing more efficacious and prompt. In ordinary, uncomplicated cabes, it will give relief in a day and a night. A "cold" Is due to the sudden checking of the elimination through the pores of the skin of ceitaln effete products that are deleterious if retained. "LAXACOLD" is made to fill these indications, which it does admirably, and it can be taken wi'h the assurance that it Is as good a preparation of its kind as can be devised.'
