Congressman Hawley while in
Portland last week
announced
that he was coming to Coos county
to spend some time, this summer, as
he wished to familiarize himself with
the conditions and needs ci the Co
quille river and Coos Bav harbors.
Of course the Congressman will do
a little campaigning in the interests
of his candidacy for another term,
and, in tact, will visit the major |>or
tion of his district between now and
the time for the primaries in Sep

Martin’s House Burned.
Mr A. Martin's house, near th«
school house was totally destroyed
by fire Monday afternoon. Tin
family was away from home at th«
time, so it is not known how the fir«
was started, but it had gained such
headway when discovered that noth
ing could lie saved, consequently the
efforts were turnetl to save the near
by houses and in this they were sue
cessful. The fire boys and others
di«l goo«l work in saving the other
buildings. Mr. Marlin carried $40«»
insurance, $250 on the house and
$150 on the contents. As it was a
total loss he will cbmequently ’get
the full amount, but this will not
replace the damage.
OTHERS SAY IT WILL GO TO COOS BAY
In a recent issue the Myrtle Point
Enter prise says;
While in Portland recently Orvil
Dodge had a talk with Assist
ant Engineer Polhemus regarding
the pro|>ose«l improvements to the
Coquille river, and the engineer
stated that the dredge Oregon would
be sent to this river as soon as it hail
completed the work in Grays Hai
bor.
Mr. Dodge questioned the
statement and said that the dredge
would be side tracked to Coos Bay
when it comes down the coast, to
w hich the engineer replied that it
would not be sent to Coos Bav but
would be sent to the Coquille, and
further stated that he expected it to
be ready for work in this river some
time «luring September. It will be
used toward furthering the improve
ments recommended by the govern
ment.

According to a later report in the
Coos Bay Times, it would appear
that the dredge was going to Coos
Bay. Now the question is, will the
dredge come here or will it go to
the bay’
