The reopening of Yaquina Bay as a lumber exporting port marks a new era in tbe development of a long-neglected Oregon seaport. Fifteen years ago the port of Yaquina, was a thriving seaport, with direct comnunication with San Fraucisco. A large share of the in coming and outgoing freight for the Willamette Valley and southern Or egon country Jound, an outlet via Ya quina, in connection with the Oregon Pacific Railroad, which was afterward sold and its name changed to the Cor vallis &' Eastern Railroad. From one cause or another the business of the port languished. The line of steamers was discontinued and decay and ruin settled like a black pall over a formerly prosperous community. Tributary to Yaquina Bay is a large body of tine fir limber ia the Siletz and Alsea Bay basins, a portion of which will event ually find an outlet by vessel. The gradual development of the lumber troHo nf Y"it Bv will finally force recognition of a port which, up to its capacity, is the equal ofany other sim ilarly situated harbor on the Oregon coast. ' The United States engineers report to The Timberman that tbe or iginal completed project for the im provement - of Yaquinc harbor called for a depth of 17 feet at low tide. The last report the Engineer's office has on file was made in June, 1901, and shows a maximum depth of 13 feet at low water, with an average tide range of 5 feet 9 iuches. With the carrying out of the improvements contemplated by the Federal Government, it will be possible to improve the entrance to Yaquina Bay and render it of still fur ther importance to commerce. Tbe mills in tbe Willamette Valley located aloug the line of the Corvallis & East ern Railroad, forced by lack of cars, are making active preparations to util ize Yaquina Bay as a means of market ing her product. t. ' The Cnrtiss Lumber Company of Mill City, located on the C. & E. R. R., shut down its mill on May, on account of the difSulty of securing cars. Tbe com' pany has about 9.000,000 feet 'on hand, Water shipments will be made via Ya qnina Bay by means of the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad. The steamer Fran cis H. Leggett, belonging to the Ham mond Lumber Company, will transport the lumber to San Francisco and South em California ports. The Yaquiua Bay Lumber Company of Toledo is running steadily. Man ager Altree says the demand for all classes of material is very strong. Tbe mill recently furnished some seventy foot sticks. The Fir & Spruce Lumber Company of Toledo is rebuilding its mill. By the first of June it is expected to have the mill in position to cut 60,000 feet daily. The mill is designed to cut tim bers up to 80 feet. This company ex pects to make water shipments via Yaquina Bay. It ia installing a stand ard guage logging road two miles in length into a body of timber. The road is graded and will be in operation in June. A direct oounected locomotive will be used. Four logging engines have been installed. The Waldport Lumber Company, with J. C. Hammel, president, W. F. Keady, secretary, and A. B Ludermann, treas urer, nas just Deen organized. A new mill at Waldport, with 10,000.000 feet of lumber, has been acquired by the com pany.

The Oregon Development League will hold its next convention Friday and Saturday, June 21 and 22, in the rooms of the Portland Commercial Club, sec ond floor, Sixth and Alder streets. This date meets the approval of a large num ber of persons who want to be present, and is made for the special convenience of newspaper men who are anxious to be present. Every newspaper man in Orecon is a delegate-at-large to the Oregon Develop ment League meetings. The president and secretary of every commercial, in dustrial, irrigation, and horticultural organization in Oregon is a delegate, and tbe president has a right to name such delegation bs he desires. Every county judge in the state is a delegate and has authority to name two others, and the same is true with regard to the mayors of the cities and towns. Oregon must get full benefit of the colouist rates during September and October, and one of the chief features of the convention will be a discussion upon the lines of how we are going to get the best out of this great North western travel. There will be a num ber of good speakers present, and ques tions vital to the development of this state will be discussed, but the central idea of the gathering will be how to make practical and effective the work of modern advertising; in other words, the best possible plans upon wfiicli me can work in harmony to add to the population and wealth of Oregon. , As soon as the delegates are appointed a list should be sent to the local papers and then forwarded to Secretary Tom Richardson at Portland.
