The government survey,, of 1909 showed a t the
entrance of the Siuslaw riv er a bar about 2500
feet across with depth lender ten feet, the
miniihum controling depth be seven feet at
mean lower low water. The channel across
this liar was narrow, l)eing 200 feet at its
narrowest place.
According to the government survey ,of July
1914, the least depth a t mean lower low water
was found to be ten feet and the minimum

but 1500 feet across.
So far the bar has not advanced but instead
has got deeper on its outer edge. There has
been a remarkable improvement between the
end of the old north jetty and the end of the
new, the depths in some cases increasing from
seven feet to 24 feet below mean lower low
water.

Those persons who believe Mr. Hawley has
been representing the First Oregon Congressional
district might do a little'searching of records and
find out what th a t distinguished gentleman was
doing when Idaho, Montana, Utah and other
western states were getting great, rich slices of
th at reclamation fund while Oregon was getting
crumbs. As we remember it, he was getting
patent for some of his Salem friends to timber
lands over in the Siletz country to which they
had about as much right as Satan has to a seat
inside the Pearly Gates.
Even his warmest
admirers among the newspapers of the district
are unable tp “ point with pride” to any of his
achievements, consequently are keeping very
quiet.—Oregon Messenger.
