Tho send ing of Col. Drlgham and Peter Log gle, and the stationing of Walter Lyon In Portland to watch for tho arrival of tho experts, will undoubt edly Impress the visitors with tho importance of Coos Bay by the en ergy of Its citizens so well displayed. There aro now three men from this section who will button-hole Colonel D. W. Lockwood and Colonel Leach, of Washington, Immediately upon their arrival in tho Roso City, which Is expected to bo sometime this week. Several members of the rHers and harbors committee of the National Congress aro making tho trip with the engineers and will be Interviewed by the Coos Bay delega tion. When tho message was received from Secretary Lyon asking for as sistance Dr. McCormac, Mr. Oren, of the Smith mill, and Dr. Mingus went over to North Bond to seo L. J. Simp son regarding the sending of a good man to represent tho bay Interests to tho Portland visitors, and they found that Mr. Simpson had already responded to a similar telegram from Mr. Lyon by securing Colonel Brig ham and Peter Loggio to go to Portland. Tho Marshfleld Chamber of Com merce then offered to bear part of tho expense of tho delegation and fifty dollars was set aside for this purpose, the other portion being born by Mr. Simpson on behalf of North Bend. The two men left for Portland Monday morning and will , be in that city tonight. A story in Friday's Portland Tele gram, and some rather surprising In side information secured by Mr. Lyon, was responsible for tho tele grams sent to tho bay for moro dele gates to lay the situation before one of tho coast defense experts, al though it is quite evident that the Washington authorities aro perfectly aware of the importance of Coos Bay as a defensive point and a harbor for the coaling of battleships ,In tho event of war with Japan. Tho fol lowing Is the Portland story, which states that Coos Bay is tho most im portant project to bo considered by tho visitors: Several members of the rivers and harbors committee of tho National Congress, together with two mem bers of the National board of en gineers, who act in an advisory cap acity, will be in the northwest before the end of this month to inspect tho many important government Im provements now under way and pro jected. Just how many members of the Congressional committee will visit Portland, Tacoma, Seattle and other points In the Northwest which are appealing to congress for additional appropriations Is not known, but Colonel S. W. Rosslor, Corps of En gineers, U. S. A., stationed here, has beon advised of the coming visit of the two members of the board of engineers. These officials are Colonel D. W. Lockwood, chairman of tho National board of engineers for rivers and harbors, and Colonel S. S. Leach, principal assistant to the chief engineer. They have just' completed a visit to Port Los Angeles, and aro now either nt San Francisco or other points in California, where govern ment work is being done, and ac cording to their Itinerary, they should arrive in Portland somewhere about January 30. It is not known wheth er they will meet tho rivers and harbors committee hero or over on tho Sound, though they aro schedul ed to meet the committee at Tacoma the latter part of next week. Whilo in Portland and this vicin ity, tho projects they will inspect and familiarize themselves with, as to tho advisability of approving ad ditional appropriations aro: The Colllo canal and jetty at tho mouth of the Columbia river. Tho most im portant new project to be Investi gated by tho party Is tho Improve ment of Coos Bay harbor and bar, and strong interests hero will ap pear bofore tho party and set forth tho present conditions and needs of tho various projects. The visit of the Congressional committee with tho board of en gineers Is of particular importance at this time, because, upon its favor able or unfavorable report on the present and proposed projects will depend the action of congress on tho rivers and harbors appropria tion bill, which certain leaders of tho house, led by Speaker Cannon threat en to throttle.
