ENTRANCE TO COOS BAY.
The project for the application of
the appropriation Of July 5, 1885, was
for continuing the low enrockment.
Theenrockment was advanced seventy
two feet, making the total jetty length
measured on its top surface l76l feet.
The effect of the .jetty on the channel
during the year, beyond a fair stability
of position, has not been marked. The
examination shows an increase of bar
channel depth of about one foot and a
snail continued favorable erosion of the
north spit. Last years amelioratlon

continued Jetty construction across
the deep interior channel is expensive,
and a considerable advance of the work
made gradually is required for a radi-

from the stump in 1862 his hope that
no soldier who left the state would re-
turn alive. On the tail, for lieuten-

the ticket is made up of greenback

Tammany hall general committee, at
late meeting, passed resolutions rela-
ting to civil service reform, demanding
from the state and federal authorities
the complete redemption OF pledges
made by the democratic party at the
late presidential election, to secure to
the people of the state and nation an
efficient, capable and honest public
service, protesting against any leglsla-
tive or administrative measure which
may tend to create a permanent office
holding class in this country; denoun-
eing all attempts TO grant life tenure
of office to any body of public servants
as the first step toward subversion
of those doctrines of equality which
have been the safeguard of the repub-
lie. declaring that appointments to Off
ees should be made on the untrammel-
ed and undivided responsibility of pub
Lie officers chosen by the people for
that purpose, and answerable to their
constituents for the manner in which
thev have discharged their trusts;
that the creation of irresponsible boards
OF commissioners, vested with author
ity. to control or interfere with exercise
OF the power of appointments by cleo
tive officers is and abridgement of the
powers conferred on the chosen Ser
wants Of the people. and condemning it
as It as an unwarrantable invasion of
public rights and an undenocratie and
indefensible restriction of the visor and

! YAQUINA BAY.
In resuming Operations under the
new appropriation the approved plan
WAS to close the land gap by jetty con-
struction, build spur northward for
the protection of the bank, and heavily
strengthen the jetty with larger rock.
The jetty now brought to an average
height of high tide, measures 2,5l7
feet The spur jetty for shore protect
ton is 45O feet long. The work is left
in excellent condition, and will proba-
bly, be ready for speedy extension
of the jetty when funds permit. 1t is
desirable to complete the work In two
years. The main channel is a little
. more southerly, and the north one
somewhat under and perhaps deeper
than IA year ago. The changes on the
whole are considered favorable for the
improvement. For the next year
100000 is asked.
| CoQUILLE RIVER.
A low, attenuated jetty of a total
length of 1866 feet had caused the
radical changes in the entrance de
signed by the project. The improved
channel was straight, direct, and free
from rocks. The situation a year la
ter was that nearly all temporary Jetty
work had been displaced by sea and
drifts, and the adjacent fill had disap-
peared. During the past year 442
feet of .ietty structure were built, and
the total jetty length is 1923 feet.
j The work of improvement needs to be
solidfied and extended. For the next
year $4,000 is required.
/ UPPER COLUMBIA AND SNAKE RIVERS.
"The work on this river is very diff
ficult owing to the extremely swift
water, and can only be prosecuted at
passable stages near low water 1t Is
proposed to apply the appropriation
asked for the removal of rocks and cob
blessone bars to the completion OF the
project, which is intened to secure a
low water channel of five and Il hall
feet in the Columbia, AS far as Aims
worth, and four and half feet in the
Snake, as far as Lewiston, Idaho"
"For the Columbia river above the
mouth of tile Snake no estimate is
presented, pending the results OF the
survey of Priests rapids. 1t will take
$4,000 to complete the project"

s.The amount expended on this rlV-
er has been s5,9SS13. Work has
been satisfactorily done, resulting in a
good improvement to navigation. 1t
has made a commercial development
very large in proportion to the sum ex-
pended, and I am of the opinion that
corporations should be extended to Xix
Iitat bridge, about twenty miles far
the,. up the river, and also to include
shore protection whatever it may be
necessary to prevent the river from
making its channel too wide. The
estimate of $4,000 submitted has this

A new terror is given tn overhead wires in

dwelling houses, by the ease with which they
can be utilized by thieves who are enabled to
enter private houses for purposes of robbery,
under the preteDce that they are sent to- repair
the line thus located Such an instance oc-
enrred In this city, yesterday, where the thief
was fortunately detected in his shrewdly-plan
ned game and caught and no doubt more than
one mysterious robbery has occurred, here and
elsewhere, by the same ingenious plan. The
only safe rule in all such cases is for the occu-
pants of "a house TO compel all applying work
men to show a written order from their en-

then il isn't bad precaution to have some one
conveniently occupied SO as to see what is
