. Rock hss been delivered from ' the

States Engineer BagnalU who has been
superintending the, work for the past
two months, returned to Portland thle
morning on a ahort official trip, and
says the project will prove all that. was
expected-of It. While no sounding of
the bar hss recently been taken ...It.. Is
believed that the end and gravel -which
has been accumulating there for ages
are gradually being swept to sea. When
the survey was made in Jun the watet
at the. ahoalest point on' the bat.t-was
2ft feet deep, end from that It ran to
almost 40 feet. , I "v
This survey showed an Increase In
depth of about two feet since the pre-vlous-
soundings. With the completion
of the jetty to the point contemplated
this year there Is believed to be no
doubt that . a sufficient depth of wateii
will be secured to accommodate - the

PROPOSED ROAD WILL TAP
BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY
Dr. Haydon Sayt Coos and Curry
Counties Are Ideal for
. " H Summer7 Resorts. -
The route of the proposed extension
of the Southern Pacific railroad from
Drain into Curry and Coos counties runs
through the most picturesque country
In the world." said Dr. Walter Hsydon
of Marehfleld. who Is In Portland thts
week.. "Penetrating Coos county from
north to south, one of tha survey a runs
close to the Ten-MUe lakes, a collection
of water gems set in the emerald' hill
of tha coast region adjacent to the coast
range.". ...!' t -r-' -J
- In these Iskee the water Is very deep,
clear and cool, and gsme fish abound,
he says. The hills are good hunting
grounds andthe whole region 1a an ideal
place for summer resort : enterprises.
The country Is rich In agricultural and
timber resources. There is considerable
population, but" a vast country remains
uninhsblted owing to the enormous tlm
ber holdings of Elijah- Smith and others
who are doing nothing for development
of the country. . He says Mr. -Smith
holds about one third of the vast timber
screage or cooa county.
The Simpsons, - who -- are extensive
sawmill owners, are : operating many
mills, employing hundreds of people snd
shipping Urge cargoes of lumber out of
Coos Bay," he ssld. "J. J. snd A. M.
Simpson employ , about one fourth of
the working class of the county..- They
are doing much to open up tne country
compared to the other holders of large
timber tracts. Neatly every week front
