NEWPORT, Or., June 10. (Special.)
The Miami Quarry company ''of
Portland, which has a contract to
construct the south jetty of YaTquina
bay for the ports of Newport and To
ledo, received no additional financial
assistance when the ports met In
joint session at Toledo Tuesday.
The original proposition for relief
was presented by J. Burpee, engineer
in charge of work for the Miami com
pany, and called for a bonus of $30,-
000 should the work be completed in
November. A previous bonus of $50,
000 had been granted. Mr. Burpee
changed.his proposition' today, asking
that the ports assume any loss in
curred by his company and pay for
whatever extra equipment would be
necessary to complete the work In
November instead of agreeing to give
a stated amount.
No action was taken. The present
loss of his company, Mr. Burpee said,
averaged $1800 a month for labor and
fuel and from $1000 to $3000 for up
keep of plant and machinery..
The failure of the rivers and har
bors bill at the session which ad
journed Saturday in Washington
would mean that no work may be
done on the north jetty before next
spring, unless the United States en
gineers at Washington and Portland
announce their willingness to Com
mence work on the north jetty by us
ing the first unit of $100,000 appro
priated by the government in answer
to telegraphed inquiry from B. F.
Jones, secretary of Newport port
commission. Should the government
engineers be willing that work should
proceed at once on the north jetty,
this would be a special inducement to
have the south jetty completed this
fall before winter storms set in. Mr.
Jones says that in that case he would
favor offering the -Miami company a
bonus and believes that the other port
commissioners would do likewise.
The deepening of Yaquina Bay har
bor entrance is essential to progress
in this locality A great part of the
Siletz timber is ready for manufac
ture into lumber and will be carried
to market by boat.
The steamer Francis H. Leggett
took out about 1,000,000 feet of lum
ber and the Bandon and Fifield,
smaller steamers, have carried many
cargoes from Toledo to San Francisco
since that date.
The port commissions have ordered
soundings to be made of the harbor
entrance to obtain data which would
refute a story being circulated on the
strength of a visit of a shipping man
from San Francisco that he found
only ten feet of water on the bar.
The findings will be published broad
cast. -
