These harbors
have, besides their natural advan­
tages received attention 'and im­
provements of our national govern­
ment to assist in their perfection,
large sums of money being spent
annually on the same,
Besides the
improvement to »he entrances the
government has done considerable
dredging and removing of obstacles
to transport ition in their inner
harbors. This fact is due chiefly
to ttie d< mauds of our important

In conclusion, Capt. Hart says:
‘ The principal articles of commerce
carried over the l»ar at /the entrance
to the Coquille river aft* lumber and
coal. This commerce is loaded oq
small coasting vessels along the 25
miles of the river between its mouth
and Coquille, and bv them taken to
San Francisco. Considerable coal,
a valuable and scarce commodity on
th<- Pacific coast, is found on Co­
quille river about 15 mile- above its
mouth.”
EX rRAC IS OF OFFICIAL REPORT
The Coquille river enters the Paci­
fic ocean in the southwestern put of
Oregon. It is formed by four small
forks, which coming from the coast
range of mountains, unite in ihe vi­
cinity oi the town of Myrtle Point.
¿w
ator are mounted upon solid concrete
blocks, and the greatest care has
been taken to put in a plant that
would be sufficient to care fwr the
demand. It is new, complete, and
will be a credit to a much larger town
than Bandon.
A Frost 130 horsepower engine
and boiler will handle the load with
ease. The boiler is high pressure,
16x66. A General Electric Gener­
ator 3 phase,, revolving field, 2300
volt, will light up the place. It has
a capacity of 2000 lights, 500 of
which are now in and a large num­
ber of orders tor wiring have been
left until the plant was in operation.
The City of Bandon has ordered
12 arc lamps which will be located
as follows: Oqe. *t each of these

plans called for an extension of the
jetty to 555 feet but the last work
