Her death was due to complications result ing from a severe attack of typhoid fever last year. She was born January 30. 134S. and was the daughter of the lata William Livingstons Holmes and Mary Louisa Holmes, who were pio neers of ls42. Miss Holmes was widely known for her prominence in church and char itable work. She was an active mem ber of St. Paul's Episcopal Church here. and had been president of the King's Daughters sines the body waa formed 11 years ago. Sha was a charter mem ber of. St. Paul's Guild, and had been worthy matron of Pioneer Chapter. Or der of Eastern Star. Rosa farm, where Miss Holmes lived with her sister. Mrs. Daniel O Nelll. was one of the most popular residences In tha Oregon country In early pioneer days. Governor Lane, of Oregon, and other dignitaries of tha time were en tertained there. Besides her sister. Miss Holmes Is survived by two nephews. Charles Holmes, of Oregon City, and William Holmes, of Spokane, and an aunt. Mrs. Martin, of Spokane. Tha funeral will be held Tuesday at 3 o'clock from the residence at Rose farm. Services will be conducted by Rev. T. F. Ilowen. of Sellwond. and the Interment will be in tha Masoniu plat of Mountain View Cemetery. The sita of Mountain View Cemetery was donated to the city by Miss Holmes' father many years ago. Involving a total of 1176.670, a con tract waa executed yesterday between the United States Government, through Major Williams. Corps of Engineers, U. S, A and the Miami Quarry Company, for the completion of tha north and south Jetties at the entrance to the Siuslaw. The south Jetty Is to be ex tended a distance of JSO feet and the north Jetty f (0 feet, and It Is estimated that the project will not be finished until early in 117. Originally the Port of Siuslaw Com mission constructed 2940 feet of the south Jetty, that being In 1810 and 1111. and a contract was awarded by Corps of Engineers, through which finished last season, on 400 feet more of the north Jetty, and the soutn Jetty waa started. The addition to both Jetties Is depended upon to deepen the entrance considerably. J. S. Polhemus. assistant engineer In the office of Major Williams, has been dispatched to Taqulna Bay to make an examination of the entrance and inside conditions, with a view to reporting on the advisability of conducting a thorough survey, looking to permanent improvements there.. As examination was made two years ago. but It waa decided not to order a survey. 8ince then Yaqulna Bay Interests have ob tained Improved conditions inside and an effort Is being made to obtain in creased depth on the bar. At Coos Bay the dredge Col. P. 8. Michle Is covering herself with glory In digging on the bar. In duly she handled a total of more than 200.000 cubic yards, which, while not the best she has done there in clear weather. Is regarded excellent because of the fact there waa so much fog last month. More than 12S men are engaged In repairs to The Dalles-Celllo Canal, which was emptied a week ago Sunday for that purpose, and it Is expected the locks and canal will ba in condi tion for a resumption of -navigation about August 21 or 22. Meanwhile freight and passengers from Portland to points on the Upper Columbia are being transferred from the Big Eddy over the state portage road to Celllo, from where the steamer Twin Cities operatea as far as Kennewlck. At the Oregon City locks, dredging Is progressing In getlng ready for concrete dividing wall at the upper end, so the locks and canal property will be separated from adjacent holdings. The water was drained for a short time Sunday morning so an examination could be made of what has been accomplished. The Government has barges under construction, to be used in handling material, mixing concrete and the like, so when the building of the wall ta started It will be carried forward rapidly.

Friends of Captain Moreno have known for tha past few weeks that he waa being considered for the billet and of late it has leaked out generally. Be cause of his success with the Chinook officers of the Corps of Engineers are loth to have Captain Moreno leave the Chinook, but having originally been from San Francisco he Is credited v"lth such a longing for the California me tropolis that "where rolls the Oregon' has no longer a bold on him. The San Pablo is to be completed early in 'the Fall and shortly before btng constructed. They also will see the dredger Chinook at work and the plana for a new dredge, even more powerful, will be laid before in em. Bay titles Presrat Heejaesta. The commercial Interests of Coos Say.

It Is possible that the committee will set a time for bearing from all the other Coast cities and Colombia River cities while they are In Portland. A dinner and an Informal reception wll be arranged for the members while they are in Portland. Opportunity will bo given for Portland buainesa men to meet them.

Bids will be opened on the 18th of this month for a modern ves sel, authorized by the last Congress, and I am strongly hopeful that the bids win enable us to award this contract to a Pacific Coast firm.' Asked whether the Government would allow any differential In favor of Pacific Coast bidders. Dr. Jones said that question was under consideration. The new ship Is to be an oil burner and oil fuel is cheaper on the Pacific Coast than on the Atlantic Dr. Jones has been urged by the Portland Chamber of Commerce to visit Portland while on the Pacific Coast, and he hopes to be able to arrange his schedule that way. He is desirous of meeting the members of the Portland Chamber and also desires to get in touch with the Senators and Represen tatives from '.he. Pacific Coast states. for the coast survey must look to them pirmarlly to get the needed appropria tions for surveying the West Coast waters. If he visits Portland, Dr. Jones will lay stress on the advisability of establishing a branch office at Port land, as well as in the other large cities on the Pacific Coast, and detail ing to each office a competent and re sponsible officer, whose duty It will be to watch for and rmort any shift Ing of sandbars, newly discovered ob structions to navigation and changes In channel depths, and to keep in touch with seagoing men who use tha Gov ernment charts for their guidance In entering the V estern rivers and har bors.

Favorable comment was made on the excellent condition of the lower river armament in charge of the district commander. Colonel Ludlow, ranking officer of his grade in the Coast Ar tillery Corps. The use in the mortar batteries, com manded by Captain Waldron, of an en graved name-plate and historical sketch of the battery, received the indorse ment of the Eastern officers. Special attention was devoted to Fort Canby, Wash. Its advanced posi tion on a headland projecting into the Pacific would give it an advantage in gun range of nearly 6000 yards.
