M ill Company, of this city, plans
to place a steam schooner in the
lumber trade between Florence,
on the Siuslaw River, and San
Francisco. I t w ill be the first
craft of th at type to be operated
from th at section of the Oregon
coast.

H. P. Dutton, at the head of
the company, who has returned
from a trip down the coast, says
th at the steam schooner for ad
dition to the fleet either w ill be
built or purchased. On account
of the large .number of coasters
temporarily out of employment
it is intimated that a suitable
steamer fo r service out of the
Siuslaw may be purchased to
advantage. Just now the Hugh
Hogan, Sausalito and Lawrence
are * t Florence loading lumber
for the south, while the Oakland
is a t San Franeisco discharging a
cargo she took from Florence,
where the company has a saw
mill turning out cargoes for
them.
Last month the four vessels
transported 2,500,000
feet of
lumber to San Francisco. The
capacity of the mill is 3,000,000
feet every 30 days. The surplus
product is disposed o f locally.
W ith a steam schooner assisting
the fleet they would be able to
handle the entire output o f the
mill, and considerably more, if
available.
A survey completed by the
United States engineers shows
that the channel at the entrance
to the Siuslaw Is 14 feet deep at
the lo w - w t e r stage, the best
condition ever known. A t high
.
tide it is believed that most any
of the steam schooners would be
able to get in and out o f there
without much difficulty.
When
the je tty projects now under
way there by the Government
have been completed it is believed
the channel will be scoured out
to a depth o f 20 feet at the zero
stage.
The north je tty has been com
pleted for a distance o f 7710 feet
and the south je tty more than
6000 fe e t A sum of 3250.000 is
available for their extension and
it is anticipated that the funds
