Bennett Thinks That Reconstruction of Old Jetty Would Be Best. G. A. Dennett. In writing of tho Coos Day Jetty Hltuatlon in tho News, glvia tho following Interesting views and llgures: Tioject No. 2. referred to in Mr. Simpson's dispatch, is from tho re pot t of Col. Uoessler. it embraces Project No. 1, which provides for a hydraulic seagoing dredge with an annual luniutaluauco of gfiO.OOO and $10,000 additional for dredging tho bay channel. It provides for tho res toration of wharf, buildings, pile drivers, scows, and purchase of tugs, engines, derricks, etc.. etc., rebuilding double-track troinwny: restoring the north Jetty to high tldo lovel and fur ther extending It 1.000 feet; nlso tho construction of a parallel nouth Jetty extending L'.'iOO feet out from Coos Head. Col ilocssler lti his report, speaking of Projct No. 2, says that "it contemplates tho greatest Itnprov ment In tho bar channel that can bo affected by Jetty work and dredging combined." Tho totnl cost estimated for Project No. 2 Is $2,700,500 "It Is tho impression of those who have paid particular attention to Jet ty work at Coos Hay that tho llgures are entirely too high. It will bo re membered that when the board of engineers recommended tho building of the north Jetty In 188!), after work on the crib Jeuy . which had boon started lit Rocky Point in the spring of 1880, had been abandoned, they estimated tho cost of giving ub 18 feet of water on the bar nt low tldo at $2, ICG, 112. nnd tho government sanctioned the expenditure of this amount, although at that time the lumber shipments from tho bay only aggregated 10,000,000 feet, and tho total tonnage across tho bar was less than 100,000 tons annually. Tho north Jetty was built and portions of It lestoied on two occasions ISO" and liioo and yet tho entire cost was approximately only $700,000. and when tho Jetty wiih In n good state of preservation tho soundings showed a depth of 20 to 22 feet on tho bar at low water. The old timers who were Interested In Jetty work re member this, and conseiuently they think Col. Itoessler has placed his estimate entirely too high for re storing the portion of the north Jetty which lias neon llatteued out by storm waves, and for further extend ing It I. oho feet. Ids estimate for (ho north Jetty alone. Irrespective of tho south Jetty and the bar dredge, be ing $l.8t;,.i.:.oo. Ueinomber that a plant wiih pm chased, wharf built. vessels secured for towing scows, etc., etc.. and the Jetty was built to its contemplated length of lu.IJfiS feet and the sunken portions were twice restored, all at n cost of $700, 000. If tho Port of Coos Hay Is willing to assist the government In restoring the Jetty to the extent of $ir.0000, as proposed, why not urge an emergency appropriation now by tho government of $100,000. which with the amount to be glteu by tho Port of Coos Hay would undoubtedly lebulld the sunken portion of the Jetty and further extend It 1.000 feet? Xeter mind Project No. 2. Rebuild the llatteued out portion of the Jetty lirt thus Insuring us a good depth of water on tho bar. ami then other projects like south Jetties and bar (Hedges can be tried without working a hnrdshlp on our commer cial Interests. It Is a phy that a larger and more powerful diedge than tho Oregon cannot bo secured to carry out tho proposed plan. The Oregon Is nil light for work In narrow waterways, but she Is mlhllt when It comes to handling illit wheio the bay la wide. Deepening a channel and dumping the dredging close by, to be tt ashed oii-K again into (lie chanuol or to fill up the tidal area nnd tluia limit the amount of water that ebbs and Hows ne i nas the bar and which Is nocobsar) to keep the bar channel siourod out, is poor policy This way the way the Oiegon handled dirt at Pony Slough, and something sim ilar was nlso done opposite Porter last year." Coos County Commissioners Purchase Large Amount of New Machinery. Judgo John F. Hall nnd County Commissioner Armstrong arrived homo last evening via Drain from n trip to Portland, whero thoy at tended a convention of tho County Commissioners of Oregon and nlso purchased road-building mnchlnery. Of tho latter, thoy bought a lnrgo traction engine, ateiini grad ing machines, n large rock crusher. some largo scrapers nnd boiiio six- ton dump wagons. Tho now traction engine will bo used near Daiidon nnd tho present small trnctlon engine brought up nenr Coqulllc. It was found last year that tho small traction engine saved enough In una Benson to pay for Itself. Tho now mnchlnery will ennblo tho commissioners to build moro permnncnt ronds nnd do the best work more cheaply than they have been able to do It In tho past. Judge Hnll says that tho Drain stngo brought In II people The slides along the road wore Insignificant.
