HAWLEY HERE
Visits Lincoln County on Tour
of Inspection.

Congressman w. C. Hawley arriv-
ed in Toledo Tuesday evening and
spent the following day becoming
acquainted with the conditions and
needs of this locality. In the morn
ing he visited the Olalla dyking dam
and the schools. The afternoon was
spent on the river. The launch
Mud Hen took the party up to the
Toner ranch where the dredge,
Chetco, is busy diking. After see
ing the dredge in operation Mr..
Hawley said that the machine was
capable of dredging the bars out of
the channel between Toledo and the
deep water at Yaqnina. This is the
most important enterprise to the
people Of the upper bay, and what
the Congressman has been working
hard to get an appropriation from
the government for. With a few
thousand dollars expended for
dredging these bars, we will have
sufficient deep water to enable
schooners entering the bay to come
up the river ana discharge and re-
ceive freight. Mr.. Hawley did
succeed in getting a bill passed
authorizing a survey of the river and.
supposed the law had been complied
with, but when he arrived in Toledo
he found that the work had not been
done. But that a government
engineer had gone hurridly over the
route and reported unfavorabH on
the project of dredging the river.
Why the engineers made such a re-
port without going fully into the
matter nobody knows. Mr..
Hawley and the people Of the bay
will continue to work for the govern
ment's aid in this matter.
At Woodmen Hall in the ,ven-
ing Congressman Hawley, Mayor,
C. E. Hawkins, J. F. Stewart
and G. B. Crosno spoke to crowded
house. Mayor Hawkins presided
over the meeting and introduced the
Congressman, the other speakers
needing no introduction to our
people, having been residents here
for the past eighteen and twenty
years and having always been
identified with the business and
industrial spirit Of the county.
Mr.. Crosno was the first speaker.
He very briefly related the needs
and desires of this section. He
Explained to the Congressman the
manner in which the government
engineer failed to meet with our
people to secure data and other in
formation relative to the dredging of
the river, etc.
Mr.. Stewart gave us statistics Of
the amount of timber that is ready
to be marketed when the channel is
cleared OF bars and vessels are en-
abled to come up the river to get this
vast amount of lumber. He mildly
roasted the government engineers,
and said many other things that
will be of benefit to Mr.. Hawley in
dealing with the conditions here.
Mr.. Hawkins, among other things,
explained the terminal rate prop
osition to our people. Mr.. Hawkins
is in the sawmill business and has
made study of this proposition.
The Congressman delivered one
of those eloquent addresses for
which he is famous. He held the
attention of the audience for nearly
two hours, describing the workings
of congress, the work he has been
doing for Oregon, and intends to
do, the development of all Oregon,

Kangaroo, by Mr.. and Mrs. Evans;
Reading, Sweet Day of Rest, by
Miss Williamson; Club Paper by w:
f. Ready. The attendance was fine.
Someone has their eye on the
Waldport sand spit. This piece of
property was homesteaded long ago
but as it was not very attractive
place it was Abandoned. The prop
erty has now been selected by the
State Land Board as School Idemni-
ty land and it is probable it will
soon be sold. Someday this prop
erty will be valuable for its water
front on the Alsea Bay. There is
over half mile of deep water right
in front of the place.
