Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith it report, dated Nov. 25, ISSJ'J, upon the sur vey of Siuslaw River and Bur, Oregon, made by Capt. Willard Young, Corps of Engineers, to comply with the requirements of the river and harbor set of August 11, ISSH, and ac companying maps. A copy of tho report upou tho preliminary examination ol tho locality, dated Deo. '11, 1SSH, is also herewith. The proposed project for improvement is to build two high-tide stoue jetties, located us showu on uccoiiipanyiug map, converging until the distance between them is about "iDO fuel, and then, if necessary, running out to sea parallel to each other for a sufllcielit dis tance to open ami maintain a channel over the bar with a depth at low ttiitir of ut least 10 feet, ut a total estimated cost for both jet ties of S.'Ml.l'IO.

I'nItku Statkh Knuinkkr Orru'K, Portland, Oregon, Dee. ti, lh8 General: I have the honor to report (hat tho prolimiuary examination ipecitled ill section I I of the liver and harbor act of August 11, 1HS8, of the Stuslaw River aud Bar, Oregon, has hceu made by me in oom- iliuucc with the lustiuclious contained iu the letter of I ho Chief of F.nuiiicers, dated Sept. 'JU, 18HS. Iu my opinion the Siuslaw River and Bar are worthy of improvement There is a strong desire oil the palt of tho uhabitiilili of tho Siusluw region., aud in fact of Lano county generally, that the eutiauce to the Siuslaw River should he I m proved. The principal reasons why an Iin nroveiuout sliould no mulerluken ate, 11 act ms to uie, that the bur is easily tusccpti ble of improvement; that there is a fine bar bur Inside, and that an extensive lumbering trade will most probably be built up. A chart of the river, made by the Const Survey iu 1HSJ, from Florence to the sea, shows that the low-water rhnuuul depths are from I'i to 15 feet, and that the controlling plhs ure from 10 to 112 feet. The average width of the river nt low water is' shown to be about D00 feet, aud tho average, dislauoe betweou 12-foot curves about 700. It is claimed that a 15-foot low-water depth cau be carried to withiu a mile of the bead ol title water, or (or a distance of over '20 miles from the sen. The depth of water ou the bar varies, but probably averages about 0 foet nt low water. Jetties on either aide of tho entrance, suitably located, might be ex peeled to increase this depth to about 10 or Vi feet. This, with an average tide of near Ij 7 feci, would give a depth liifllcicnl for the ordinary coasting voisols ouiployod iu the lumber trado. The jutties would, be. sides, serve to fix the position of the chau nil, which would be a great Improvement over present conditions. There is a large body of the very finest kind of timber ou tho headwaters of the liver hundreds of xpunro miles iu extent. It 1h claimed that logs cau bo run down the river lo tido water during Ihe wiutor freshets from the very heart of this great timber belt. If so, saw wills will doubtlesa be ostublished along the lower river as soon as the bar is improved so that lumber carrying toshcIs cau ruu in and out with safety. If, besides this, a railroad shall be built from the Willamette Valley to deep water near tho entrance, im is claimed will certain' ly bo done if the bar Is Improved, Ihe harbor will be one of considerable importuueo. The prospective commerce is, I think sufllciuutly great Iu warrant an improve' mcut. The cost of such au improvement as is needed would be something like f UOO.OOO A careful survey of the bar and its op prouches, as well ai of the tidul portion the river, will be necessary before a pro ject can be prepared und u eurcful estimate of the cost of improving the river and bar made. The cost would be ubout 1 1,500 for the survey of the tntruuee nud lower part of Ihe rlvor.aud f 1,000 for thu survey of Ihe upper part of the liver. Very respe't., your obedient servant, W. YoL'NU, Capluiii of Engiueer. SUIiVKT OIT SIUSLAW H1VKU ANU UAB, OIUOON, L'nitkii Ktatm ENoiNrnKs Orrict, Portland, Oregon, Nov. IWJ. General: Iu compliance with the in structioui contained iu your letter of April 1, 1880, 1 have thu honor to herewith trans mit a report of Mr. Gwynu A I.yell, draughts man, on the survey of biu.law River and Bar, Ortgou. Iu my report of a preliminary examination of Siuslaw Rivtr und Bar, submitted Dec 22, 1888, 1 mentioned such poiuts as I waa enabled lo ascertain by a persouul examina tion and iuipiiry. These, in e.nnection with the report of Mr. I.yell, are considered sullieieut to show Ihe propriety of iiuprov ing Siuslaw River and U.ir. There are Urge bodies of Ihe Uuest kind of timber along and tributary to Ibe upper river which can not now be gotten to market at a reasonable cost. If the bar shall be so improved as lo pmuit luiuter-carryiug ves sel, to enter aud leav. the river with safety it rill be possible to market this lumber at paying figures. The timber could be gotten out with rail roads, bill only at a cost much lu excess of (bat by boat. The bodies of timber that would naturally seek a market by going dowu Ibe river aud out over the bar are so extensive that even the saving of $1 por 1,000 feel iu Iho cost of producing aud de livering the lumber would amount to a sum vera! times greater than the estimated cost f improving Iho entrance. The saving, owever, would probably amount to severul ollars per 1,000 feet, nod besides other im- iiirtaut benefits would result from Ihe im provement. A tracing of Iho map prepared by Mr. yell from bis lleia notes is sent nerewitu. he survey out-ddo of tho bar was not ex tended us far us desired, owing to the un favorable weather prevailing at the time Ihe urveying party was nt Siuslaw. It was not considered judicious to wait for good weather o complete tho outside work, as there was much other em vev work for tho party nud mat to do elsewhore, uud as the funds avail- uldo for this work were limited. It is in- ended that the survey on and outside of thu bar shall be exteuded at the earliest lime practicable iu the spring, should funds bo vailuble for this work. The total tidal area of Siusluw River, com- uted from land survey map, is 3, ICo acres. The average rise und fall of the tide is nbniit .5 feel. The distnuco from Iho mouth of the river to Ihe head of tlda is about '21 miles. The average tidal disolmrge is some thing like 'JO.OOO cubic feet per second, or about otm-half that at Yaipiitia Bay. The controlling depths inside the entrance, as tliowu by the accompanying tuupi, ure 10 feel ut low nter whero the width of tho river is about 1,100 feet. Where the river is narrower Ihe dept lis are greater. With tho above discharge it is thought that it low water depth of 10 feet ou tho bar can ha maintained by tho construction of proper jetties. The shores nu either sidu of the cutruueo are composed of sum), aud the position of Ihe entrance channel is liable lo shift with in the limits of about a tullo. Tho channel could ho mado to lake uny position within the limits of this possible shifting. Tho position suggested is ut the southern limit and is taken because Ihe necessary elties ir. Ihis cmo will bo shorter and less ex peusivo than iu uny other; uud because it is said that tho deepest water ever knowu on tho bnr-21 feet at high wator-ouce obtaiued when tho channel was in this position. rnorosKD ruoJKcT. It ie proposed to build two high tide stouo etties, located about as shown on tho ac companying maps, oouvergiug until Ihe dis tance between them is about 500 feet, and then, if necessary, running out to sea, par allel to each other for a sullieieut distano) In open and maintain a o)im!'d over the bar with a depth ut low water of at least 10 feet. In ordor to secure Ihe boncfiU ol thu im provements at tho earliest time possible it would be well to coustruot a part of the jet ties at least of pili) oribs fillod with atone, similar In construction to lue woric at uo quille River, Oregon. Such work could af terwards be mado permanent by the use of riprap. Spur groins nhould be used, if found nec essary, to prevent undue scour of tho face of the jetty to give a proper direction or depth to the channel between the Jetties. ESTIMATED COST. Stone is ploutiful and easily obtained a few miles up the river. It la believed that it can be placed in the jetty for $1 per cuhia yard, including all items of expense. The estimated cost of the jetties is based upon this figure. The estimates fur quantities is based npon the supposition that the top of the jetties shall be six feet shove low water, the jetties being 10 feot widu on top and having a slope on the outside, North Jetty i Approximate lenui ieei..

The steam schooner Mis- cbier, ol 1.IO 10 n uuiucn, muses reguiur trips from Ynquina Bay about twico a month currying in pretty full cargoes of general inerchuudise aud cauuery supplies ami brinuiug out cargoes of canned salmon and dairy products. The salmon pack on the river Ihis season is about 12,000 cases. The shipment of lumber from the river has not yet been commenced, owing to the unsatis factory condition oi tne entrance.

Captain: I have the bouor to submit tho following report, with map, of a preliminary survey of Siuslaw River, Oregou, made in July, 1880, iu accordance with your instruc tions' The map is drawn to a scale of 1:5000. The Siuslaw River rises east of the coast range of mountaius, flowi in a northwesterly direction, forming the boundary lino be tween Douglas and Lane counties, mptying into the Paelfio Ocean in latitude 41'' north, longitude 124 west, approximately. There is no light house iu the vicinity. A buoy marks the entrance to tho river. The entrance is long anil tortuous. The channel on entering runs in a northeasterly direction for some distance then turns abruptly iu a southerly direction into the river. The northwest wiods and swell from that direction tend to force the channel over against the south spit, to that the breakers on the north side aud sand spit on the south side have to be avoided. There is a north and south channel, that at the north being thu only one now open to navigation. A sand flat, bare at low tide, with an area of about 120 acres, extends out almost into the channel and shifts with varying wiud-i Continued on fourth page.
