Without Government aid. and relyina-ole-ly
on their own resources, resident
of Nehalem hae undertaken the con
struction of a jetty at the mouth of
the Nehalem River, which. In a short

will have to be made on the river, but
the people of Nehalem are confident
that when they have itlven the Gov

and determination aa they are doing
In pushing- tlie work unaided, they will
have little difficulty in securing sub
stantial appropriations. They will try
to secure the financial heln of the Gov

This would aMve them a total of 1150.

The Work of constructing the Jetty
. has been let by contract to C L. lious
ton. and la being; done under the su
nervlslon of civil engineer Neal It.
Wilson, who was formerly employed
by the Government in harbor work in
the Philippines and in Honolulu.
Facilities Arc Favorable.
The Nehalem River and Bay present
unusual oportunltles for the speedy
and Inexpensive making of a foou
harbor. Somewhat more than five
miles from the ocean the river branches
off Into two forks, knoan as the North
and the South Forks. The North Fork
extends Into the mountal-s. 15 mlles
from the ocean, while the South Fork
Is about 100 miles lone. Both merle
and become ore stream about one-half
mils above Nehalem. from this point
to the sea the river is wide and deep.
From Nehalem to the bar a minimum
of 14 feet of water at low tide Is
maintained In the south channel, with
the exception of one shoal a quarter
of a mile below Nehalem. and about a
nuarter of a mile In length. The
depth on this shoal Is about four feet
at low tide, but a small expenditure
woiiH dredge It out and maintain It at
a satisfactory depth. Tii.re are ro
forces thero which would tend to till
the channel with sand, as the current
of the river makes a straight sweep
to the sea.
Nehalera Is on the North Bank of
he Nehalem River, about five miles
from the ocean. A short distance be
low Nehalem. less than one mile, the
river branches into three channels,
formlns- Islands of marsh lands be
tween them. It Is the south one of
lhte channels ti'at Is now used, and
.hat It Is proposed to Improve.
Clianucls Form Bay.
After dividing, the channels gradu
l!v broaden In thel course. and
'nally their overflowing- waters unite
sea'n and form a hay. wrt'en exteniia
l.orthward along the coast line. A
lore spit reaches from the north, di
viding It from the ocean. The chan
nel runs directly towsrds the spit,
rearing which. It turns across the
bay. and for three miles to Its irouth
skirts the south shore, touching at the
sawmill town of Wheeler.
Work on the Jetty wss started last
Fall, and the trestle work Is now
completed to the prescribed 5000 feet,
so that there remains only the rock
filling to be done. A imill "dinky"
engine Is used to haul the rock out
onto the Jetty and dump It. The rock
Is hauled to the Jetty from a quarry
on the Factflo Railroad Navigation
railroad. Twelve men are now em
ployed at the Jetty, ar.d 1 at the
marry, and about ISO tons of rock
are handled dally.
The object of the Jetty Is to elimi
nate the south channel over the bar.
which Is used now. and to form a
channel at the north side. The pres
ent south channel runs far through
the shouls on thu south side, at an
acute angle from the shore, while the
so-called north channel extends prac
tically straight out to sea. To Im
prove the south chsnnel would be ex
pensive If not Impossible.
COOS AND CURRY TO SHOW

MARSHFIEI.P. Or, Aug. 10. impe
rial.) Coos and Curry t'ounlles will
lave an exhibit at the Ptate Fair at
Palem this year for the first time. The
Chamber of Commerce of this city Is
collecting- products from the Coos Bay
side of the county and the exhibits
f-nm the CoqulUe Valley side are being
collected at Bandon and will be shown
at a harvest fair and carnival to be
held at Bandon August It to IT.
As a drawing- card, the business men
have put up a purse of 11090 to secure
a f'.vlng machine, an attraction never
before seen la this part of the stste.
but the chief object of the fair Is to
exhibit the products of the surround

have asked Curry County to Join In the
exhibit and Curry Coitnly has applied
to the state fair officials for space to
make a showing. The best of the ex

AVIien tJovrrnmcnt Falls to Aid. I!cs
Idcnls of Vpper Klamath Take
Mailer In Own Hands.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or, Aug. JO.
(Special.) That the sejtlers of the
I'pper Klamath project, better known
as the Bonanxa section, are determined
to have their lands irrigated. Is shown
by the recent action taken by the land
owners of that region. Not long- ago
the people there were expecting Imme
diate action by the Government to
wards completing that end of the proj
ect, but recently they have about given
up all hope of relief for years to come
from the Government, and are casting
about for private means with which
to complete their Irrigating rystem.
The plan has been taken up with W.
K. and Louis Gerber. the former a
banker of Sacramento and the latter
one of the most prominent stock men
of the Klamath basin. They own a
part of what la known aa the Horsefly
reservoir site and have offered It to
the land owners whose lands would
benefit by water from It. and have
agreed to supply funds with which to
build the system aa well.
Pr. Y.. IK Hitchcock, of Bonanxa. who
Is Interested in the project, outlined
the proposed action while In Klamath
Falls recently.
"We propose to organize an irriga
tion district under the Oregon law,
which permits, us to Issue and sell
bonds to cover the cost of Instslllng
the system.' he said. "These bonds
are payable in 21 years at per cent
interest. We expect to have all details
worked out without much further de
lay. Several weeks ago we presented
our petition to the County Court, which
approved it. and now the farmers are
readily signing up their lands. Those
who refused to sign up under the old
Government contracts are eager to sign
under this plan, as It Is easily seen
that It will be much less costly than
by having to pay the Government for
water.
"Before any actual work Is started,
a competent engineer will be engaged
to prepare plans and make the sur
veys. These will then have to be sub
mitted to the State Engineer, and this
preliminary work is the only thing
now that is keeping back work on the
ditches and reservoir. About 11.000
acres can be Irrigated from the Horse
fly reservoir site. It is generally es
timated that the entire totl will not
exceed $30 an acre, and this will be
only about half what the Government
proposed to charge us. Not only that,
but we would have to pay the Govern
ment In 10 years, while we will have
It years to pay under the new plan.
This will work a hardship on no one
and will be a great boon."
CEMENT SUPPLY IS SHORT
Work on Improvements In Olympla
May Have to Stop.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. Aug. 20. (Special.)
There is a shortage of cement In
Washington at present, and the con
tractors putting In new concrete walks
and gutters on Main street have bought
up all the available supply In Olympla.
Cement plants in Skagit County are
closed down preparatory to being en
larged, while It is asserted that a plant
In Oregon ha suspended operations
so that Its output may be increased.
Shipments ordered from the Hast
may not arrive for some time and the
result Is a cement famine. In another
week or 10 days the local supply will
be exhausted and the contractors say
that unless there Is relief Improvement
work will have to stop.
LUMBER TRAIN GOES EAST

KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Aug. 20.
(Special.) That Klamath Falls will
have one of the largest sawmills and
box factories In the Northwest, In oper
ation within half a mile of the city
limits, before the end of September.. is
the announcement of one of the mana
gers of the Pelican Bay Lumber Com
pany. This mill will be situated at
what Is known as Hanks, on the bor
ders of the Upper Klamath Lake. Work
was begun on the big enterprise sev
eral weeks ago. No less than 1600 men
will be employed in the mill when it
begins operation, and probably 600
more will be kept In the woods, cut
ting logs and getting timber down the
lake. The mill wlli run day and night,
and Is expected to cut 160.000 feet of
lumber every day.
Lake to Be Thawed.
The company last Spring olosed a
deal with the Government for 103.513.
000 feet of logs on the Crater National
Forest Reserve. This is the biggest
Government sale of timber to one firm
ever made in Oregon or Washington.
The timber Is In the vicinity of Pelican
Bay, the late FX H. Harrlman's Summer
home, and is among the finest pine in
the entire country.
Already a log canal nearly a mile
long ha been cut from the Klamath
Lake to the hills back of Pelican Bay.
Men have been- sent to the woods to
get camps ready for tlmbermen and
railroad builders, as several miles of
logging road will be constructed to
haul the logs to the canal. Thence they
will be towed down the lake more
than 30 miles to the mill.
To enable the mill to operate in the
Winter months It is planned to keep
the water In the log pond thawed out
by steam from the big steam engines.
The canal leading from the main lake
to the mill will alo be kept thawed,
and while it Is not expected that
enough logs can be got through to the
mill In the Fall to keep it running all
Winter, arrangements will be made to
keop a channel open between the mill
and canal at the upper end of the
lako all Winter, regardless of the Ice,
so tht towing can be done at all times.
Workmen to Have Comforts.
The operation of a mill here in Win
ter will be something never Derore at
tempted. Although the temperature
seldom gets down to zero, there are
few Winters when more or less Ice
doea not form on the lakes, and the
logs In their booms become frozen so
It has been impossible to cut them. The
steam turned on the water ana iog
will eliminate this trouble.
The framework for the first story of
tho mill Is now up and much or tne
machinery has been placed. As soon
as the mill l completed tne rirsi turn
her turned out will be used In build
ing a little town at the mill site. The
company will erect a large store build
ing and a boarding-house for the men
without families, while those with
families wl'.l be supplied with well
built houses at nominal cost. Bunk
houses will also be built for the single
men.
WASCO AFTER SETTLERS
O.-W. K. & X. WILli AID IX DE
VELOPMENT WORK.
Greatest Need Now Is to Secure Pub
licity Regarding Resources Ag
riculture Pays Well.
SHANIKO. Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.)
Through the uggestlon of The uaiies
Business Wen s Association tne -.- w.
H. N. Company will soon begin the ex.
nloltatlon of the resources of Southern
Wasco County. In a communication to
Secretary Fish. General Passenger
Agent McMurray says that after an In
vestigation by representatives oi tne
nuhlicltv department, they find great
opportunities for new settlers here, and
the road will do everytnjng in us power
to develop the district.
It Is said the principal difficulty lies
In getting the land-owners to sell some
of their holdings to small farmers. Thl
matter, however, is rapidly reaching its
own solution, as growers of range
stock, both sheep and cattle, are find
ing It more profitable to go into gen
eral farming a little heavier eacn year.
As an Instance at this fact may be
cited the case of Henry Wakerllg, until
last year one of the biggest sbeeprals
ers In this district, who has wholly
abandoned the flocks and Is breaking
up his land for grain. He now has
more thsn 00 acres under cultivation
and has 1400 acres more of plow land,
Judge A. 8. Bennett, of The Dalles, who
owns 7000 acres near Antelope, la an
other of the stock ranchers who are go
ing Into farming. He "broke" several
hundred acres this year with a caterpil
lar engine.
Aside from the agricultural develop
ment of the big holdings, there are still
good homesteads to be had. and many
have been taken up during the east
year.
Owing to this section being remote
from the main line of the O.-W. R. &
N.. the country has had little opportu
nity to attract settlers, although It has
been -settled by stockmen for many
years. In good years prodigious crops
of all kinds of grain and hay are raised
and the crops this year In this section
have not suffered by lack of rain as
severely as In other parts of the coun
try. With only fair crops and a little
publicity. Southern Wasco County can
show intending settlers many advan
tages not to be found elsewhere.
