dollars in opening the canal between
Coos Bay and North Inlet landing and

that three feet Of water would be as
sured at mean low water. From the
inlet proper to North Inlet landing is q
distance Of four miles, and this water
way had been the avenue over which
all the railroad material used in the
Beale Lake and Tenmile region was
routed. The Port Commission ordered
a Strengthening Of the channel between
the bay and the inlet, mile in dis
tance.
The Job had been finished but two
weeks and at low water the newly-dug
channel is dry for a distance of 500
feet In the middle Of the cutoff. There
is heavy traffic over the route and the
port will order new amountof dredg-
ing to maintain the desired three feet

Why Men Eat More Than Women.

Why Men Eat More Than Women.
That men eat five or six per cent
more than women--not because they
are gluttons. but because they actually
require that much more nourishment
appears. as a result Of an investiga-
tion made In the nutrition laboratory
of the Carnegie institute at Washing
ton by Francis G. Benedict and L. e.
Eames, says the Literary Digest. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have smaller proper
tion Of active tissues than men OF
the same weight and more inactive
material, such as fat The investiga-
tion disclosed that the average wom-
an generates only 1.355 heat units in
the "a hours. as against 1888 pro
duced by the man, or about two per
cent more for the latter per pound OF
body weight. When groups we're com
pared, after careful selection Of indt
viduals Of nearly the same height and
weight, the men were found 70 pro
duce about II per cent more hear thar
women.
