For many years he, was engaged in railroad construction in the middle west and south. He has been a resident of Coos Bay for nearly half a century. His has been a most active life and the remarkable vitality with which he was endowed kept him in the forefront of Coos county affairs at an age when most men are taking life easy. The record made by the county in tax reduction during his incumbency cf the county judge office is a mat ter of which he was justly proud. Mr. McLain was married to Bar bara Rouke, at Ennis, West Verginia, July 3, 1892. She survives him as the following named seven children: Leo McLain, a federal agent, and Mrs J A. Watts, both of Portland; Wilfred McLain, Rodeo,- Calif.; Miss Alice McLain, Marshfield postoffice clerk, and Miss Lucille McLain, both of Marshfield. There are four grand children. Hon. Jas.

The report includes the recommendations at the district en gineer’s office in Portland as to main tenance in the river Which it is es timated will cost 32000 annually in addition to any jetty extension or work on the bar which may be done. Summarized, the recommendation which has been submitted to congress is that 13 foot channel—the same as is required by law to be maintained at mean low Jide on the bar—be maintained for one mile above the river’s mouth and that sinker logs be snagged out up to the highway bridge at Coquille. In the report’s wording “no improvement above the bridge is considered advisable.” Cornelius Buys Bowling Allleys V. L.
