THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL PORTLAND. -FRIDAY,- DECEMBER 231919. 10 E 1 OR SiVS NECESSITY I OF HI UGH Captain B. W. Olson Says Admiral Rodman Put Aside Request for Protection at Danger Point. Marshfield, Dec. 2.t Need of a, lightship to protect ships from the reefeoff Cape Blanco is urged, by . Captain B. W. Olson, master of the steam echooner C A. Smith, which pile : between thla port .ana Sah Francisco. , " ,'. "The loss of the tanker J. A. Chan si or ' and 17 men of the crew will probably awaken tie Vtftilted t State Hfhthouse service to he. .necessity .t stationing a Hrhtahip ttf-mark the 'dangerous Fort Orford reefs off Cape Blanco." he said. "For years the masters of the coast- ' wise vessels have been urging it in vain. Last September I notified Admiral Rod- . man of the Pacific fleet of the danger- l oue current which prevails there and he took It op but held that the warships - could pass far to the westward. The war vessels have plenty of time but coasters do not. : "It is a pity that lives and ships must continue to be sacrificed as 'they will be until a lightship Is stationed there- The 'Cape Blanco lighthouse Is of little serv ice in a heavy fog." The Chanslor disaster has also re newed the , demand for another coast eruard station south of Bandon. The latter station must cover the entire dis tance to the California line and. while ' the crew has dons some wonderful work in-making rescues, it cannot give the highest efficiency when It must go more than-100 miles in the event of a wreck near the California line. That part of - the Southern Oregon coast is as un ' protected as it was when the Brother Jonathan went down in 186S with a loss of between 300 and 400 lives. It is in sisted by mariners and those familiar '' with the locality that there should be another coast guard station somewhere between Bandon and the Southern Ore gon state line. Five or six years ago, after one of the sea, disasters, this matter was taken up - and agitated and an official was sent to investigate and select a site. On the stretch of more than 100 miles it was said to be Impossible to find a suitable site for a station. The matter ended ' there. Since then many vessels have been plied up and lost and many lives sacri flced. , ing to deliver parcel packages only. The postoffiee business was reflected In the general business of the city, with record sales la all lines of merchandise, not withstanding a steady downpour of rain all day Wednesday.

A contract with Doak ft Brown for the diking, In return for which they were to have the use of the land for 30 years, was prepared last summer, but has been held up by protests from Oregon, The department took the po I sition that the plan was a good one from ' the public standpoint, because govern ment funds were not available and the lands would sot dry out sufflclen.tly to produce good crops.

Injury to residents for the benefit of a mono poly.
