jetty at Yaquina bay, extending from the
north head along and behind the reef for a
distance of s3oo feet, leaving an entrance
width Of about 1000 feet. The project also
proposes to raise the south jetty to full high
water mark, which by his estimates will
require 10000 tons of stone. The width of
the entrance proposed, that Of 1000 feet
fuliills two essential conditions, namely, II
corresponds fairly TO interior widths near
the mouth and II gives reasonable facility
to vessels seeking entrance. II Is not, how.
ever, expected that the ship channel, be.
tween the jctties, will be wider than the
interior channel, which is about goo feet.
Of the several projects presented, the board
decided that this is the most practicable,
and accordingly reported In favor of It's
adoption. The estimated cost of this new
jetty Is Sol, 500. Preparatory work has al.
ready been started on this new jetty. Near.
ly $sso,ooo has already been spent on the
south jetty. Notwithstanding the sneers
from some Columbia river papers, Yaqulna
Is bound to become good harbor, and that
Is the trouble with them.
