Lattin who has managed the pipe line for the dredge Oregon moat of the time during her operations on Coos Bay, passed through Tuesday on way to the lower river where he will make preparations for the work there. Tile Oregon will be brought around to the river the first of dune and will be­ gin work near Cody’s mill where a bulkhead has been driven and prepara­ tions begun tor her work. The shoal where she is to begin is about 3000 feet in length, and according to the estimate of the engineers, the removal of some­ thing like 75,000 yards of sand will be required to put the channel in the form desired. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that- there are a great many sunken logs in the shoals to be dredged and the snag boat is now there held in readiness to take care of the obstacles of this nature as the sand is removed ufficiently from them. It is the purpose of the management to keep the Oregon on the Coqullle dur­ ing the summer months which will ex­ haust appropriation for that purpose, and before the winter storms come she will be returned to Coos Bay where a sufficient fund is available to keep her going sor a year for a year.
