Yaquina bay Captain Harts reports
the troublesome rock in the channel
on which work has been in progress
tor three months, is no longer an
element Of danger. This rock,
which is pinnacle in form, was
about 60 feet long and lo feet in
width. Through the use of about
two tons of dynamite this rock has
been cut down SO that there is now
about I3 feet of water over it at low
tide, and 20 and 2I feet at high
tide. Work upon the obstruction
was stopped by the stormy weather,
but will be resumed next season in
the event that further work is
needed. The jetty at Yaquina bay,
instead of being beaten down, as
was reported, was found in good
order. Although some of the false
work has been torn down, as was
the rock work, which
alone is of value, is in excellent
shape, and up 10 the required level

LOVELY SILETZ.

If you haven't seen Siletz, YOU
haven't seen it all. THE LEADER
force paid its first visit to the Siletz
Agency Sunday and Monday. The
weather was perfect, and the beauti-
tul landscape and handsome build
ings made scene worthy of the
brush OF the worlds greatest artist.
A trip of inspection through the
several apartments of the boarding
school, under the escort of Mrs. NJ.
E. Peairs, the efficient matron, and
Prof. Bert r. Betz, the able chief
instructor, were appreciated. The
hospital was also visited. Miss +.
M. Dyer, the skillful nurse in
charge, stated that no patients we're
then in the hospital. Fred Cham
bers has been there for treatment
recently, but he is reported among
the convalescents. EVERYTHING
about these buildings is conven-
iently arranged and kept scru-
pulously clean. The employees all
seemed to be busy and earning
their salaries, but, as we intinSted
befole, business is little slow at
the hospital. Agent Buford, the
man at the helm, sat in his Office
with becoming patience and dignity
while numerous citizens appeared
before him to make all their wants
and wishes known-which were
not a few. Clerk Brown piled be-
tween the Office and the commissary
IN answer to acquisitions for sup
plies and did more or less wrestling
with figures. Dir. Daniel was at
his post, ready for calls, Of course,
but not soliciting. Samuel Center,
the industrial teacher, was oversee
ing and assisting in making re-
pairs to the water system. The
beautiful, fertile valley alone.
seemed to be lazy-in spots. 1t did
seem that more of those fine farms
should be i'll high state of cultiva-
ttion and doing business every
month in The year, but perhaps that
is impracticable. Siletz is also very
attractive socially. 1t abounds in
sweet singers, fine musical instru-
ments aud royal entertainers. Good
music was feature Of the Sunday
services conducted by Rev. e. II.
Bryant, who Is doing good work in
that field. Just now, when the
eyes Of thousands Of people in the
east are turning toward Oregon, we
leel 1t to be our solemn duty to
again remark: Ii you don't see
Siletz, you don't see it all. Nearly
all the vacant land surrounding the
Agency has recently been taken by
homesteaders-men who are at
tracted by the beautiful Siletz river,
the fertile soil, the grand timber
in fact, the almost limitless re-
sources of the region that must be
seen and studied 10 be appreciated.
