"It's a good place, but It needs a railroad," ha replied. -When a rail road is built Into Cooa Bay it will ba an Important -seaport. It has many commercial advantages, and I was very much pleased with what I saw there." "Are you going to make any recom mendations favoring Cooa Bay 7" was th next question put to him. "There ara no recommendations to make. Th Government baa appro priated $lo0.0no for building dredges and $110,100 will be provided for work lnr them."

After crossing th bar early yesterday morning tha Breakwater was forced to anchor for three hours below Fort Stevens, to await the clearing away of fog. She brought 0 passengers and her usual amount of freight. LIGHTSHIP AID SCGGESTED Navigator's Letter Itcferred to Chamber of Commerce. Among several letters received by Commander Elllcott. lighthouse inspec tor, concerning tha proper placing of Lightship No. SO Is on that has re ceived particular attention on account of th fore of Its arguments. Tha letter la from Captain E. W. Mason, commanding the steamer Rose City, and It has been referred to a commu te of th Chamber of Commerce, which has th subject in charge. In submit ting this .letter ajid others to the Chamber of Commerce. Commander KUlcott says ba will be pleased at any time to receive auggestlons from navi gators. The latter from Captain Mason is as follows: "I i would suggest that the proper place would be at No. I buoy, or say, a quarter of a mile north by west from where No. buoy is now anch ored, as this would Rive us sufficient room to pass on either side, which will be necessary at times. "Coming from sea: From the mid channel buoy to No. I can be made In one course, then we have a haul of four points around No. S buoy to Una up to No. 13. This makes a long turn and If you miss this buoy on account of th current, fog, rain or darkness, you are compelled to com to anchor, as It would not ba safe to proceed without having a departure from No. buoy. "Aiao. I am compelled to call your attention to tha mid-channel buoy, as we hava the same difficulty, if not more. In locating this buoy either on going out or coming In. This buoy I consider the most important one, as we take it for a departure after cross ing In over the bar. Coming from the lightship or tha bell buoy we will not make this buoy onca out of ten times, or going from No. to it. If there is any wind or tide, and then you hava to be on top of It before you can see It aa the tide drags It nearly under. -It would be a great help to us If a bell, whistle or gas buoy could be operated here, or a beacon might ba placed: some means that we could de termine this place, as the chang of course Is very large: In fact, more Im portant than at any place at the mouth of tha river.

SGHOLARSPAYMDRE Cost of Living Rises at Agri cultural College. FIGURES SHOW INCREASE Investigation Reveals Fact That Ex penses Now .Are Much More Than They Were Ten Tears Affo Report Submitted. OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COLLEGE, Corvallls. Or.. Jan. 29. Special.) After mora than six months of Investigation and the collection of statistics, a Joint faculty-undergraduate committee of the Oregon Agricultural College appointed to investigate the cost of living for the students In Corvallls, has completed Its report, which was yesterday adopted and submitted to President Kerr. The sta tistics have been compiled after an in vestigation of the Incomes and expendi tures of several hundred students of the classes from 1900 to 1913, and the tabu lated figures are compared in detail with the student expenditures at other col leges and the gradual rise in the price of staples. Fees Are Small. Exclusive of the college departmental fees and deposits, which are shown to average hut JiM.ll per year, the report shows the average expense for the frealiman during the past 10 yeara to have been $214.82; for the sophomore, $219.66: for the Junior, $253.48, and for the senior, $2S2J22. During the college year 1909-10, the average freshman's expenses were $265.16; the average expenses of the sophomore. $237.03; of the Junior, $2S5.37, and of the senior. $301.11. From these figures It appears that there Is a gradual and fairly regular increase in the expenses through tha four regular classes. The statistics regarding the cost, of board and rooms in Corvallls during the college year 1910 show the average cost of board to have been $3.58 per week; of rooms, $1.18 per week, and of board and room when secured together to heve been $135 per week. At the dormitories, the average cost of board has Increased at Cauthorn Hall, the men's dormitory, from $9.01 per month In 1900, to $15.50 per month, and at Waldo Hall, the women's dormitory, from $12 per month In 1900 to $15.10 per month during the college year Just past. Tho Increase at the two dor mitories during the nine yeara has been 63 per cent at Cauthorn and 26 per cent at Waldo. On the other hand, statistics compiled from Bradstreefs Stock Report show that n the same period, the rise in the prices of staple products haa amounted to approximately 65 per cent. Student Incomes Shown. The statistics showing the average total Income of self-supporting and non-self-supporting students are interesting aa showing that in general the income of the student who Is wholly self-supporting Is larger than the incomes of either the non-self-supporting student or h student who Is partially self-sup porting. Among the general conclusions drawn by the Investigating committee after a study of the tabulated figures is the fact that there has been a gradual increase in the cost of board and room in Cor vallls, but an unexpected decrease haa occurred during the past college year coincident with the formation of eating clubs and fraternities. In not only the cost of board and room but In every other department of student expenditure. It Is further concluded that any ad vancement In the cost of living has been the result of circumstances over which the Agricultural College has had no con trol and has, in no department, been greater than the general advance in tha cost of diving throughout the country. In comparison with similar figures tab ulated from Cornell University, It is shown that the minimum student ex pense at Corvallia Is but 60 per cent of the average minimum at Cornell, while the average maximum at Corvallls Is 40 per cent lower than tho stated maxi mum at Ithaca.
