resolved Itself Into a frame of blddlnc.
ship owners holdlnar out until they
feel they have received the best pos

Tong.e Folnt Ideal Depot.
Tongue Point is an ideal place for a
buoy depot and so recognized by the
Government when it was established
being accessible for either Oregon or
Washington ports. It has no fathom
less depths In front of It. therefore any
kind of a narigatlon aid can be safely
and accurately tested. Repairs are
made there to equipment Ira all kinds
of weather, and as to tenders being
barbound in the Columbia Hivcr. that
strikes mariners here as somewhat of
a Joke, for any time a tender is unable
to get out of the Columbia River it is
a certainty that if she was within the
area of I'uget Sound bound for sea her
refuge would be Neah Bay, which has
been a retreat for the tenders for many
years. They have been held there for
sereral days at a time.
Tenders are usually so operated that
one of them is on Puget Sound. Sup
piles are purchased there as well as
at Astoria and Portland, so from a

MARSHFIELD. Or.. Dec. 11. (Spe
cial.) The Port of Coos Bay is pre
paring a memorial to Congress whicii
will be presented, despite President
Wilson's orders to "cut all rivers and
harbors appropriations to the bone."
The instrument sets forth arguments
for a better harbor for Coos Bay and
asks for Jetty work that will assure
40 feet of water on the bar and SO
feet in the inside channel from the bar
to the C. A. Smith mill, a distance of
14 miles. A new project is also re
quested. The memorial Is based on the expec
tation of foreign traere which will re
quire deeper draft ships. There are
already in sight several cargoes for
foreign ports in 1916, which will in
clude pulp and lumber shipments. Mors
advantageous rates can be obtained,
shippers state, if vessels of 50U0 tons
can load here without being compelled
to load but half or three-quarters of a
cargo.
The arguments also imply that Coos
Bay wil' be the actual shipping- port
for practically two-thirds of the stand,
ing timber in the coast section of
Southwestern Oregon. This hope is
backed by the expected completion of
the Willamette-Pacific railroad next
year, the probable ex-tension of the
Smith-Powers railroad, now within 15
miles of the county line, into Curry
Counts-, where there are great quan
tities of Port Orford cedar and mer
chantable fir and other timber.
The Willamette-Pacific, Coos Bay
people believe, will within the next
few years be hauling logs cut on the
Siuslaw and Umpqua Rivers to this
port for manufacturing.
ALASKAN SURVEY HAMPERED
Coast Steamers Condemned and Ap
propriation Is Sought.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec. 11. The Secretary of
Commerce having recently condemned
and ordered the sale of the old coast
survey steamers Gedney and JIcArthur.
that for years have been working in
Summer in Alaskan waters and at
other seasons along the Pacific Coast,
an appropriation of $254,000 has been
recommended to construct a new and
modern coast survey steamer to replace
these two old hulks.
The new vessel contemplated, if au
thorized, would permft of much more
effective work, and it is believed for tho
time being this one vessel would per
mit quite as much work being done in
Alaskan waters as has been done on
the Gedney and McArthur in seasons
past. During the next season, how
ever, work in Alaska will be hampered
because there will be no vessel to re
place the two which have been with
drawn.

LAKE DECISION TO STAND
Land Board Won't Contest Federal
Claim to Oregon Body of Water.
SALEM. Or.. Dec. 11. (Special.) No
appeal will be taken by the State Land
Board from the decision of Edward U.
Worth, United States Surveyor-General
of Oregon, wherein Alkali Lake, in
Central Oregon, was declared to be
Federal property. The board an
nounced its decision to-day.
The Oregon Borax Company, which
wished to mine the bed of the lake, in
stituted the proceedings to vest tho
itle to the lake in the Government, on
the ground that it was valuable for
minerals. The first survey showed the
lake to be navigable, but this was in
error, the Jiurveynr-Genoral nela.
