TWENIY-TWO FEET
Of WATER ON BAR
GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED FROM JETTY
------ OOT'------
Bank President Eight or Ten
Years
As a result of the woik already
done on the pile jetty, the waler on
the bar at the mouth of the Coquille
river has so materially increased that
on Monday when the Triumph went
out to sound before towing out tilt
Elizabeth, it was found that there
was twenty-two feet of water on the
bar, and the depth continued for
fifty feet inside the government
jetty. This is the most water that
has been on the bar in eighteen
years, or since navigation of this
river was undertaken,
1 he good
results of the pile jetty are thus
already apparent, and it is hoped
that the little differences which have
resulted in a temporary closing down
of the work will soon be adjusted
and the work continued.
With the-jetty only extending out
a few hundred feet, and with twenty-
two feet of water on the bar, it is
easy to believe that with the com
pletion of the jetty there will be at
least thirty feet of water at high tide
which would be sufficient to let in
most any kind of an ocean going
steamer, and the claim of Bandon
people that we have the best harbor
between San Francisco and the Co
lumbia river will be tinore than ever
verified.

La Junta, Colo, Nov. 7—John E
Godding, president of the defunct
bank of Rocky Ford, was today
sentenced to not less than eight
nor more than ten years in the state
penitentiary, for ¡eceiving deposits
after he knew the bank was insol
vent. The bank failed last spring
for a half million dollars. At his re
cent ttial it was proven that he prac
tically stole a quarter of a million
dollars whiceh he used in his enter
prises.
Falls From High Perch
New York, Nov, 7—Creeping
along a narrow stone coping while
the Hames darted about him in an
effort to escape from his burning
home Arthur C. Keating, a retired
clothing merchant of Brooklyn, to
day plunged to the street below, re
ceiving injuries from w-hich he later
died.
His wife and son and two daugh
ters watched him breathlessly from
the sidewalk as he moved along the
perilous path and fell.
Had Keat
ing not gone back into the house to
secure valuable papers he would
have escaped death.

Special Lobbyist in Congress
Some time ago the Recorder ad
vocated the idea of sending some
one to Washington, D. C. to inter
cede with the liver .and Harbor com
mittee of Congress for further ap
propriations for the Coquille river
and Coos Bay.
At that time we
menti ned the name of Orville
Dodge, the editor of the Coquille
Sentinel, as he has been there be
fore and understands the situation,
In personal conversation with Mr.
Dodge we learn that he is willing to
go, but that his expenses, which
would be something in the neigh
borhood of $400 would have to be
borne.
Why would it not be a
good idea for the Bandon Chamber
of Commerce to take up the matter
and send a couple of men to solicit
the fanners along the river and the
up river towns, as all would be
benefitted. If the river were dredg
ed so that steamers could run to the
up river towns, there would be a
great saving in freight rates, and
this would be a wonderful benefit fo
the entire valley. The River and
Harbors Congress meets early in
Dec. and Mr. Dodge has a personal
invitation from the chairman of the
committee to attend their meeting.
Why not get busy and send him?
Coos Bay people would do well to
take up this proposition too as Mr.
Dodge is fair in his dealings and
will work just as hard for Coos Bay
as he will for the Coquille river.
