Pursuant to call the citizens of Toledo and a large delegation of the representative citizens and business men of Elk City met- at the City Hall in this city last Wednesday evening for the purpose of acting on tho proposition of forming a port ami voting bonds for the improvement of Yaquina river from Elk City to Oysterville by dredging the bars trom toe channel. The meeting was called to order by C. B. Crosno, County Judge C. II. Gardner was chosen chairman of the meeting and Frank Newton sec retary. The port committee, which has been holding meeting in the different sections of the county re ported and was discharged. J. F. Stewart was the first speak er called upon and he gave his ideas regarding the creation of a port tak ing in the territory composing tho watershed of the Yaquina from Oysterville to Elk City. Mr. Stew art was followed by Lewis Mont gomery, of the Fir and Spruce Lum ber Company, who explained the attitude of the Southern Pacific rail road company toward the sawmills on this bay, and other conditions generally. He pledged his comp any's aiul hia personal liberal , sup-,,, port to the port. Other speakers were Dalaba, Dixon, Geer, Rams dull, Allen of Elk City, Rosebrook, Crosno, Walker, Scarth, Hawkins of this city, and all were unanimous on the one thing, that we must and will aave a port. The Elk City speakers pledged their supiwrt and expressed their desire to be inclu led in the port di-t ict, and believe that with a little time to work among their people this can be accomplished. Messrs. Walker, Rosebrook and Ramsdall, as river men and pilots, spoke of the channel between Elk City and tho deep water at the low er bay. They all expressed them selves as of the opinion that the work of removing the bars could be done at a much less expense than is estimated Mr. Walker suggested that a committee be appointed to survey the channel and ascertain the nature of the bars, whether" they are mud,- sand or rock. These men claim that there is nioro water in the channel than has been claimed. Acting on Mr. Walker' suggestion a committee was appoint ed to go with him onhisconlpany's steamboat and nako this survey. Which work will bo done in tho very near future. A ( om '.nit ee t f five wns nppoin'cd to make the preliminary arrange ments necessary to the f r.ning of tho port, circulating the pettitions, outlining tho district boundaries, etc, and presenting same to next term of Commissoners' Court, which meets on Wednesday, March 9th.
