After meeting with tho Chamber of Commerce Monday evening he wai ta ken down the bay yesterday and ont over the bar, on the tng Colombia, he and others being tho guests of L. J. Simpson, than whom no ono could bet ter represent the now life which IsjH bringing this section to the front. The meeting in tho rooms of tho Chamber of Commerce Monday evening was an exceedingly profitable one, in that it not only afforded Mr. Herman a .chance to hear Just what tho people .hero want in the way ot assistance from tho general government, but it also brought from him many suggestions as to tho best way in which to proceed in 'making known our wants. , Thero were present at tho meeting L. J. Simpson and J. H. Flanagan presi dent and vice-president of the Chamber, Dr. Tower, H. Sengstacken, Peter Log ,gie, Thos. Rcnnle, H. Lockhart, J. S. Kaufman, Robt. Mareden and W. J. Butler. The meeting took the form of an informal consultation, although Mr. Herman with consumato skill directed the discussion to a systematic consider-, tttlon of tho subjects at hand. Taking up first the matter of the en trance, it was unanimously agreed that something should bo done thero to main lain tho depth of water wo have bad. It -was pointed out that thero is consider ably less water than there was a year ago. Mr. Simpson said that Captain Mateo ot the tug Columbia reports that the bar is shoaling that tho end of the Jetty Is being beaten down and that other pieces are likely to go out this winter ; and it was his opin ion that even a short eouth Jetty by cutting off the water that now flows to the south and directing it upon the bar would giye a greater depth ot water, without doing anything to the north jetty. Mr. Herman pointed out the great dif feculty in the way of securing an appro priation, in the fact that the engineers department would be Bolidly against It because the improvement contemplated in the work done heretofore has been completed, and the engineers wero all agreed on that point, and had bo reported. This formed a eerious obstacle In tho way of securing further appropriations. J. H. Flanagan suggested that we take a new start and ask for a greater depth of water than was contemplated before ; making a new project of it. This sug gestion was considered an excellent ono and was heartily approved by Mr. Her mann. It was agreed that the govern ment be BBkod to give us SO foot of water on the bar, and Mr. nermann advised that the Chamber of Commerce addross a memorial to congress, atk'cg that the engineers departmenT'be in structed to make an examination and report what would be necessary tocecure a fixed depth of 80 feet at low tido on tho bar. lie also maue valuable sug gestions as to what sort of showing should be mado in such memo j a), na a basis for the request, advising' ngaintt tho use of tho statistics of our present commerce, which might look small in omparlBon with somo other ports, but advising mention of the natural re sources and area of the eeciion that ,; would be benefited by the proposed ., liaprovement. This would avoid tho nr oblection which mlsht come up, that the commerce of the port would ot justify a Urge expenditure, It being the duty of tho government to provide for tho luture,aa well as the present. Tie Also suggested that nq mention be made of a eouth Jotty or other specific way of obtaining tho depth of water doslred, but that all that bo left to tho engln. oers. Tho latter Just now eeemed to !m putting considerable faith in tho bar dredger, and It would mako no differ ence to the people here how the required depth would bo obtained and tnado permanent. Turning to the deepening of thochan. nol inside tho harbor, it was agreed that while thero wero comparatively few shoal places, their removal was absolute ly necessary, in ordor to accomodate vessels of deeper draught than now come here. Tho Cwrlna was cited as an example of veecols coming here oven now thai are unable to go out loaded to their capacity. Mr. Hermann said that it had long been a fad of bis to have a government dredger built to make its headquarters at Coos Bay, and to do whatever drodg- ing should bo found necessary bore. ehneatone timo secured an appro- I ... .. t- J U..

His suggestion was adopted as a good ono. Mr. Hermann endorsed Mr. Flanagan's suggestion tho $60,000 ap propriation for tho north Jettv, which has neVer besn used because it is too small, might be divorted to tho purpoEO of dredging in the harbor, Mr. Hermann brought up the matter ot the mail eervico wo are now getting. He expressed the openion that this community is now entitled to a quicker service, and advised that tho memorial ized with the request that tho mail ser vice be cxpodited. Mr. Hermann especially congratulated tie people here on tho formntlon of the Chamberof Commerce. Ho emphasized tho fact that in dealing with the govern ment tho reprctentatlonB made by a Chamber of Commerce carry much moro weight than a popular petition, for the reason that peoplo are careloia about signing petitions, while a board of trado is understood to bo composed of respon sible and representative men, who rep resent their community by authority. Mr. Hermann made many suggestions ot tho utmost value, coming from ono whose long experience has tboronghly familiarised him with all the crooks and turns of iegislatson arid departmental proceedure. While he expressed bim. self as averee to making promises as to results, ho pledged himEolf to work in dofatigably in tho interest of Coos Bay, a pledge which hid recotda guarantees that he will redeem.
