Major Morrow Gives His Views
On Harbor and Bar
Improvements.
POINTS OUT WHAT
HAS TO. BE DONE
Favors Restoration of North
Jetty But Hard to Get
Appropriation.
In n "heart to hnnrt tnlk" with n
number of Mnrshllold business men
nt the Milllcoinn. club Inst evening,
Mnjor Jny Moorow, chief of the Unit
ed Stntca Engineers for this district,
in ml o a most en ml Id and complete
statement of what ho bollovcd would
be necessary to Bocuro further gov'
eminent nld In Improving Coos Bay
harbor and bar. Ills talk enmo ntj
tlio closo of an Informal smoker ten-'
dcrcd In his honor at tlio club nnd
followed short talks by Judgo John
S. Coke, J. Albort Matson, J. V.
Snicnton and others. I
Briefly stated, the jirlnclpnl points
brought out In Major Morrow's In
formal tnlk was as follows:
"That ho bollovcd Coos Dny'B pros
pects warranted a deopor bnr and tho
restoration of tho north Jetty.
"That tho construction of a rail
road to Coos nay would practically
Insure- tho necessary government ap
propriation for tho hnrbor Improve
ment and that tho pcoplo horo should
ccntrallzo tholr energies on securing
a railroad.
"That tho showing of sufllclont

In It would bo neccssnry boforo oven
a favorablo report from him as chief
of onglneors of this district would bo
considered; also that tho urgency of
tho work hero would havo to bo
shown to bo as great or grentor than
othor harbors clamoring for govern
ment aid.
"That tho pcoplo cooporato moro
with tho engineers and mako a moro
united effort to advance their own
Interests."
Honored by Club.
Near tho closo of a very entertain
ing evening during which formality
was disposed with, interims enliven
ed by music, songs and story, Presi
dent J. Albort Matson proposed that
tho club show Its appreciation of
Major Morrow by electing him to
honorary llfo membership In tho
Mllllcoma club. Tho resolution mot
with unanimous approval.
Judgo John S. Coko next spoke on
Coos Bay's appreciation of tho visit
of Major Mclndoo. In It, ho told of
the possibilities of Coos Bay, Its tim
ber resources which excel any similar
area in tho world, its coal, Its dairies.
Us fruit, vogotablo and agricultural
possibilities and its cllmato. Fur
thermore, ho pointed out tho com
pletion of tho Panama canal would
Increase tho demand for tho lumber
of tho Pacific jorthwest which can
be supplied frgjp Coos Bay with COO
miles loss haul than from any othor
point.
Major Morrow began his talk by
declaring that from what he had
seen, read and otherwise learned of
Coos Bay, ho believed that Judgo
Coke had not extolled it any too
high. Ho previously won a warm
spot In the hearts of his audionco by
counting from ono to thirty-two and
adding "thirty-two feet of water on
the Coob Bay bar."
Then he went on to say that ho
believed that conditions hero justified
the deeper bar and warranted tho
reconstruction of the North Jetty
but declared that it would require
much money and to get this, it was
necessary to mako a showing to Con
gress that would convince them of
tho necessity of the appropriation.

on tno trip, being more inclined to
personally inspect tlio buy und bar
closely.
During tho trip, J. V. Bonnett re
ferred to tho dissatisfaction of somo
relative to tho bar dredge, saying
"Somo of these people hero tuluu
they know more auouihowttio barlm
provement should bo done than tho
engineers and oppose tho bar dredge."
"Yes, they probably think they
know jnoro about it than all tho en
gineers and pilots or masters ot ves
sels," was Mayor Morrow's only re
sponse. During the trip In discussing with
Henry Seugutackcn, secretary ot tho
Port of Coos Bay commission, the
possible preventing of the shoaling
of tho harbor channel near tho mouth
ot North Jnlot by building a bulk
head acroBa tho tldo lints and turn
ing tho channol, Mnjor Morrow said
that caro must bo oxorclBcd lest tho
tldo Hats bo reduced too much and
tho sluicing of tho bar bo impeded.
Ho pointed out that tho restriction
of tho total area which Is overflowed
at high tldo would bo detrimental to
the bar.
May Lonso Dredge.
During tho afternoon In discussing
tho Intention to send tho dredgo Ore
gon to tho Coqulllo, Juno 1, to do
some work thoro, Major Morrow said
that it might bo possible to securo
another dredgo to come In horo and
work on tho Coos Bay project so
that there would bo no delay.
A. II. Powers nnd Mayor Straw
urged Major Morrow that tho dredgo
Orogon bo moved nt an early dato to
cut down tho shoal oppoalto the Cold
Storngo plant und at tho same tlmo
fill In North Front street to permit
its paving. Major Morrow Intimated
this could bo done, ns tho job was
not a very big ono, but ho said that
just as soon nB tho presont project
opposlto North Bend was completed
that tho Oregon must bo moved to
cut down tho Pony Inlet shoal.
Praises (ho Coqullle.
Major Morrow said tho Coqulllo
was a. very pretty river, reminding
him greatly of tho Rnppahanock
which la noted In tho east for Its
beauty. Ho said that when tho gov
ernment completed Its present pro
ject there, It will bo In excellent
shape for the present needs ot navigation.
He said that the dredgo Oregon
would go there about Juno 1, and he
expected that it wo,uld be able to fin

It Is uncertnln when tho next
batch of mall will bo brought
In.
It will probably bo boiuo tlmo yet
before tho mail can get through from
RoBeburg, according to Cnpt. C. W.
Harris of Sumner who was In Marsh

A. E. Adelsporgor who returned this
week with his fnmliy from nn ex

most of tho tlmo bolng spent nt his
old homo In Indlnnu and In Mlunon-
polls.
"Every person I encountered when
they hoard I was from Marahfleld,
Immediately began asking moro
nbout Coos Bay about which thoy
had heard and about whoso futuro
they had formed a most favorablo
opinion, it wbb a revelation to mo.
Many told mo they were planning to
mako a trip horo this ounimor. If
wo only had n railroad, tho amount
of tourist buBlnesB Coos Bay would
onjoy would bo phonomonnl.
"No, I didn't hoar any definite
railroad news but I went to tell you
that Coos Bay and Marshfleld looks
mighty good after a trip through tho
country. In tho east, tho business
outlook Is very good. There is plen
ty of money but tho people havo not
fully got over their tendency to wait
and seo what will happon. The next
few monthB ought to overcome this
waiting tendency nnd mako times
unusually prosperous.

FINAL ARGUMENTS
I MADE THIS WEEK
Impression Is That San Fran
cisco Will Hold One Even
If Beaten.
Congress will tuko tho first voto
on deciding whether San Francisco
or New Orleans will securo tho Pana
mn Exposition In 1915 next Tuesday.
TIiIb was tho Information brought by,
II. M. Hydo who has Just arrived In
via Drain.
This was tho llrst Information con-
corning tho mattor In which thoro In
Intonso Interest locnlly slnco tho last
press dispatches In Tho Times.
Yesterday was devoted to n furtlw
cr hearing of San Francisco's claims
and tho day previous to a furthor,
hearing of Now Orleans' claims.
Thoro appears to bo a general Im-
prcsslon thnt San Francisco will go
nhead nnd hold nn exposition wheth
er It Is chosen by tho government or
not. Of course tho Indorsement ot
tho government would monn a big
thlng but San Francisco would havo
tho support of nil tho western states.

ment move the life saving station
from Its present location In the lower
bay to a point nearer the bar, It
has been suggested that it bo located
either on tho spit extending from the
north Jetty opposite tho mouth of
South Slough or on tho opposlto side
of the channel at Coos Head, which
Is moro protected than tho Spit.
It Is pointed out that at the pres
