TAFT


TheBeach from Siletz Bay to the
mouth Of Salmon River is strewn
with beautiful agates of all kinds.
Many fine water agates have been
picked up.
Harvey Hill and Oscar Nelson have
moved to Drift River and set up
Bachelor Hall. To tell about all the
bachelors would waste too much
paper.
The Michigan Lumber Company says
that freight is SO high by rail that II
they operate on Siletz Bay they mu5t
ship mostly by boat and that they
must have 30 feet on the bar and 27
feet in the Bay. Captains Charles
Dean, Lathum and Tabell all have
said that if short jetty was put in
on the South of Siletz Bay mouth,
with the rocks on the North to lead
the water straight out. the winter
freshets would wash out a channel
that would not fill up all summer.
The Company has said that it expects
to run logs at least, all the way for
100 miles, and cut a million feet a
week. Many Of us are holding tim
ber who would be glad to sell, and this
means much to us. A man will be in
in the Spring to survey and lay out
plans. viii each one help or give the
County black eye, and be dog in
the manger? If you can't speak a
good word say nothing, acknowledge
you don't know anything about it. If
you have one half million, and want
to put 1t into something good, we
people at Taft will talk to you, or tell
you of some one who knows more
about the County than we do.

FOOTBALL GAME
RESULTS IN TIE

The football game on the local grid
iron yesterday between the Newport
High School and the Toledo High
School resulted in no score game
The field was very wet and sloppy
from the heavy rains of the past week
and made very slow game. Toledo
was better on the offensive than was
Newport, but not enough so that they
could put over touchdown, and with
the superior punting of young Cole
man for Newport, the latter team
managed to keep their goal from be-
ing endangered.
L. E. Balm Of Yaquina acted as ref
cree and C. o. Hawkins of Newport
umpired.

The Toledo Chamber of Commerce
now has $50 paid up members at $40

this money should be used in the hir

be used in the improving of streets

town. What do you think?
We believe that Lincoln County Is
going to go ahead rapidly during the
next few years-everything points that
way-and we cannot but believe that
1t will. Toledo hopes to double its
population within the next twelve
months. More houses are needed, in

COMMITTEE REPORTS
Ports of Toledo and Newpol

GOrtS or TOledO and Newport,
Newport, Oregon, Nov 16, 1920.
Mr. AlfredA. Aye, Srecretary North
west Rivers and Harbors Congress-,
Oregon Building, Portland, Ore.
Dear MIR. Aya:-
Your committe appointed by the
Northwest Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress, October As, 1920, to gather data
and report on the matter of building
dredges to operate on the harbors
along the Oregon Coast, beg leave to
report as follows:-
After taking this matter up with
the United States Engineers and from
all other information we have been
able to obtain, we recommend the
building Of two dredges, one to be
used on Bar dredging and one to be
used on the Bay as follows
One 2S inch suction line dredge
estimated cost 100000.
One light sea-going suction dredge,
estimated cost 100000.
With these two dredges it would be
practical to dredge the river and har-
Dor project under consideration along
the Oregon Coast and keep the bars
clear as well as the shoals in the in
ner channels.
This includes the projects of the
Port district at Coquille, Coos Bay,
Umpqua, Siuslaw, Yaquina, Tillamook.
and Nehalem which have improved
their harbors on fifty-fifty basis and
The most Of them have bonded to the
limit and the only way they can
dredge the bars in any Of the bays is
through an appropriation by Congress
to build these dredges and to be oper-
ated by the Government.
Respectfully yours,
