S. board of engineers jib pub- lished recenUy The meeUng was well attended by the busi- nesa men or tne town ana sur- loundine country. The meet . i ing was called to order by Cap tain Jacobson, president of the port commission, who acted as chairman of the Joint meeting. .A. Kirkland was elected r,ecre tary.

The following gentlemen were appointed a committee to gr.ther statistics and data for the use of our del egation In Congress: B. F. Jones, R. A. Bensell, S. G. Irvin, L. C. Smith and M. Wveant. Mr. Jones was made chairman of the committee. Mr. Jones has made a study of the Yaquina Bay harbor and Its improvements for years. He therefore prepared a resolution supporting It and ar guments asking the Board of U. S. Engineers to recommend an official survey of the Yaquina harbor and bar. This resolu tion was adopted by unanimous vote. This resolution, with all other facts connected with the matter will be sent at once to .Washington, D. C. Col. E. Hofer "was present and, by invitation, made a very able speech in fa yor of the improvement Mr. Hofer thought the improvement of Yaquina harbor and bar had been shamefully neglected. He thought not only Lincoln county but all of the great Willamette valley should unite in urging the improvement of this harbor. Water transportation is the cheapest and by deepening the channel over the bar the pro ducts of Western Oregon could be shipped to the markets of the world over this route. He sug gested that the peopre of New port and Yaquinabay unite in jawing up a map ana place on that map Just whit they want done in thi w, fc-.eJ??i done in the way of harbor and nver improvements for the next five years and then work to se cure it We must be united.
