THE PORT
OF TOLEDO
At a Mass Meeting Of the Citi-
zens it Was Unanimously
Voted to Create a Port.


Pursuant to call the citizens of
Toledo and a large delegation of the
representative citizens and business
men of Elk City met at the City
Hall in this city last Wednesday
evening for the purpose Of acting on
the proposition of forming port and
voting bonds for the improvement
of Yaquina river from Elk City to
Oysterville by dredging the bars
from the channel.
The meeting was called to order
by c. B. Crosno, County Judge G.
H. Gardner was chosen chairman of
the meeting and Frank Newton Sec
retary. The port committee, which
has been holding meeting in the
different sections of the county re-
ported and was discharged.
j. F. Stewart was the first speak
er called upon and he gave his ideas
regarding the creation of port TAX
ing in the territory composing the
watershed of the Yaquina from
Oysterville to Elk City. Mr.. Stew
art was followed by Lewis Mont
gomery, of the Fir and Spruce Lum-
Der Company, who explained the
attitude of the Southern Pacific rail-
road company toward the sawmilly
on this bay, and other conditions
generally. He pledged his comp
any's and his personal liberal sup
poet to the port. Other speakers
we're Dalaba, Dixon, Geer, RAMS
dali, Allen of Elk City, Rosebrook,
Crosno, Walker, Scarth, Hawkins
of this city, and all were unanimous
on the one thing, that we must and
will nave a port.
The Elk City speakers pledged
their support and expressed their
desire to be inclu led in the port
dit let, and believe that with little
time to work among their people
this can be accomplished.
Messrs. Walker, Rosebrook and
Ramsdall, as river men and pilots,
spoke Of the channel between Elk
City and the deep water at the low
er bay. They all expressed them
selves as of the opinion that the
work of removing the bars could be
done at q much less expense than
is estimated. Mr.. Walker suggested
that a committee be appointed TO
survey the channel and ascertain
the nature of the bars, whether
they are mud, sand or rock.
These men claim that there is more
water in the channel than has been
claimed. Acting on Mr.. Walkers
suggestion committee was appoint
ed to go with him on his company's
steamboat and make this survey.
Which work will be done in the
very near future.
A { ON nit ee ,f five was appoin'cd
to make the preliminary arrange
ments necessary to the t rming of
the port, circulating the petitions,
outlining the district boundaries,
etc, and presenting same to next
term Of Commissioners Court, which
meets on Wednesday, March 9th.

The reason is simple; while the

has been eating oatmeal and trying all
