stantially. Count llman A. D. Miller, replying
for tho council, assured the delegation
that the body was doing all It could
to tecure additions! competent men
for the tire department, but that the
wnr mils had take ao many of. the
oiing men fitted for this work that
It was very difficult to get proper ma
terial. He asked that the associa
tion lo-opernte with the council In an
effort to get suitable men. The ques
tion of additional police protection

tablished underneath the embank
ment,, but that owing to the very
slight difference between the level of
the water on the north .and aouth
sldos, the north side would net be
drained during the period of high

the Hot Spring district, which waa
largely responsible for the present
condition, be diverted at Sixth atreet
by a conduit and made to flow direct
ly into Lake Ewauna. Thla la an op
eration which would entail consider
able exnense. according to aome who

ha not decreased the lumber output,
aa far aa estimates of lumber oper
ators here Indicate, according to Cap
tain W. A. Arnold, organiser for tbe
Loyal Legion of Loggers and' Lum
bermen In the Coos Bay district.
In support of this claim tho record
made at tbe Dushner mill at North
Bend on the first Friday after the new
schedule became effective, Is cited.
On that day 198,000 feet of lumber
waa cut and went over the sorting
table. This was a figure seldom
reached under the ten hour schedule,
when the highest record ever made
at the mill waa 316,000 feet, only a
part of which went over the Boning
table, a much of tbe lumber was ship
timbers.
Some experienced logging camp op-
rator. have admitted, according to
Captain Arnold, that tho change has
made little or no decrease In tho cut
