IT CAUSES -COMMENT HERE Ji. J. Simpson is Still Acthc in An Efforts to Induce Portland Firm To Do the Work nt this Point. "Colonel S. W. Rocssler forwarded a recommendation to the department at Washington this morning that the bid of $80,000 received from tho Portland Iron Works for tho con struction of a dredgo to operate along the coast of Oregon and Wash ington coasts ho accepted. lie also suggested tho substitution of a steel tank in place of wood, as had been called for in the specifications, which will entail an additional cost of $11,000. A tank is needed for car rying fresh water, as tho vessel will be operated . almost wholly in salt water. , According to tho terms of the con tract the successful bidder must have the vessel comploted and ready for service in eight months. She will bo equipped with powerful machinery and will be one of the most sorvice-ji-1o dredges on the coast. An end ! amount of work has been laid on' for the craft ut C003 Bay, Tilla ii' , Grays Harbor and , at other i't - in Oregon and Washington. lJoi 1 '.' ml Telegram. Considerable cpmmcnt Is being in "1 in Marsh field over tho awarding of the l)ld to build the Coos Ray d-f'l to the Portland Iron Works, or " rtland, and this without con hid. r,ng tho olfers made by promin ent lumbermen on tho bay to help b ip (he expense cl construction. ""l the appropriation wa3 asked f'p 1 ho dredgo was to be used entire ly f"r Coos r.ay, but in tho political shiifTlfng which the bill had to pass thin 'h at Washington, the dredgo wa 1 bo used for tho ports of Wash lnr i' and Oregon. rs. L. J. Simpson and C. A. Sni'h, the biggest mill men on tho .', olered to glvo all tho lumber ii" ' 1 for the construction of tho d' 1 , which could bo used to such ' ise in tho harbor. This would J.. 1 aided materially in tho cobt of 1" ' n& the dredge. 'l " days before, the opening of tfio 1 hlea was in Ponland on De- - ' "28, Kruse & Banks received ' . for Bonding in the bids.

Jan. 13 In order to reach a point just five miles from their place of starting, a party of prospectors recently arrived at Blue Ledgo mine , near this city. The men had gone forth on a prospecting expedition, when they found their return to the mine shut off by snow. After several attempts to reach Bluo Ledge, they were compelled to walk seventy-fivo miles to Hornbrook, Cal. From thero they came by train to Medford, and from this place went to the mine by stage. O Throughout their long tramp to to Hornbrook they encountered snow from ono to seven feet deep. The miners making the trip were Frank George, Fred Nelson and Frank Smith. 0 $ $ O THE MEANEST MAN.
