Good news comes from Washing­
ton. Yesterday L. J. Simpson, mayor
of North Bend, received telegrams
which are highly gratifying. They
give the assurance that Mr. Burton
has promised a new survey of the
harbor with a view of a new projeot,
and that he favors dredging.
This is what is wanted. The sur­
vey for s new project is what has
been wished for, and if such an or­
der goee through congress the peo­
ple on the bay will be satisfied. The
dredging is still another proposi­
tion that goes with the improvement
of the harbor, and this seems to be
forthcoming. The telegrams whioh
giye this news are contained in
messages from Senator Fulton and
Peter Loggie, and were received by
Mr. Simpson. They are as follows:
Washington, D. C.. Dec. 9,‘06.
To L. J. Simpson, North Bend,
Ore.
Had hearing today before house,
rivers and harbors committee. Both
Loggie and Dodge were present and
each made strong statement for
Coos Bay and Coquille. Chairman
Burton positively promised provis­
ion in river and harbor bill for sur­
vey and estimate for new project at
entrance to Coos Bay, and also
spoke strongly in favor of dredge
for coast harbor* aDd improving
Coquille river and continuing im­
provements under present project
to completion. (Signed)

Notes
The steamship line proposd be­
tween Portland aDd Alaska has fail­
ed to materialize, owing to lack of
support—moral and otherwise
sufficient to enable the establish­
ment of such a line. The promoters
probably realized the disadvantages
under which they labored from the
beginning.
Seattle’s
establised
trade and prestige was not to
be overlooked by those who were
invited to invest. A direct steam­
ship line to Nome alone could
not be expected to be profitable and
and investors always look for profits
in the form of dividends. The ad­
vantage of the Southern Alaska
trade to Seattle is not to be denied.
Were the profits as large and sure
aB had been pointed out they would
and must be, it is safe to assume
private capital would ere this have
taken the plum from the tree. Far
better that the enterprise died in
embryo than that another publicity
failure should nave been incurred
owing to the eager assumption of
doubtful dorofits.
The Puget Sound boosters cannot
be presumed to sit quietly by while
Oregon capital makes an attempt to
wrest from their grasp the trade, so
long now their own. The gaunt­
let once thrown down, the contest
may safely be considered a long-
drawn-out and expensive fight.
Would it pay to make the effort,
while Oregon’s own Alaska still re­
mains practically undiscovered?
Rich in minerals, agricultural
prospects, dairy possibilities and to
be opened soon to railroad develop­
ment, with unlimited possibilities
for the promotion of improved and
profitable waterways, Oregon’s Al­
aska lies practically dormant in the
Willamette Valley, Eastern and
Central Oregon, Klamath and Coos
Bay countries. Little need Portland
fear from the possible and, for all
that, practical upbuilding of another
large city and harbor in the Coos’
Bay country. Oregon, with its
great resources, has only Portland
boasting of dailies of national re­
pute. Tbe Beaver State needs de­
velopment sufficient to warrant the
establishment of several cities, ap­
proaching if not equalling in popu­
lation and other matters the fair
Rose City. When capital no longer
can get sure and large returns from
interior development, it may be will­
ing to answer the call for an Alas­
kan steamship line. Vntil then

From all accounts President
Roosevelt is highly gratified with
the manner in which his message
has been received by congress and
by the people generally. Naturally
some criticism of different measures
was to be expected and perhaps the
storm of protent over the recomen
dations in the Japanese matter was
a little atronger than was anticipa­
ted but all in all, the President
wears tbe “ do-lighted” Smile and
tells his friends and callers that he
is pleased. Before long he will
have submitted to him the editorial
comment on the message made in
papers from all parts of the country.
Much of this is even now piled high
on the desk a t Secretary Loeb whose
task it will probably be to sort out
the most important.
The special message on Panama
will not be ready for Congress until
the 17th of the month and with
it the President has decided to send
a number of photographs illustrat­
ing the progress thal has been made
on the canal. These piotures were
taken by an expert photographer
and are now in the hands of the
cannal commission. It will be the
first time that a presidential mes­
sage has ever gone to Congress ac­
companied by photographs.
An important feature of this mes­
sage will be that portion bearing
upon the scale of wages to be paid
for trained and experienced men
on the isthmus. This subject has
been discussed with several officials
who have visited Panama and now,
it is said labor leaders in all sec­
tions are to be consulted in order
that a satisfactory and permanent
scale can be adopted, one which
will end all complaints as to
he inadopuacy of wages.
