w. X. Patterson was selected to
gather information relative to shipping
operations on the Yaquina river and
any information that can be given him
will be gladly received.
1t is planned to draft resolutions ask

cial bodies can be secured for the
project.
The estimate cost Of dredging the
Yaquina river by U. S. engineers in
the past has been $4,000 This would
provide 16-foot channel 200 feet wide
from Yaquina to Toledo. One.half of
this sum will be used in removing the
rock formation at Craige and Rocky
Point"
The necessity for opening the
channel in order that sea going ships
can come into this port is beyond
doubt n most vital one and if this
fact can be proven to the proper gov.

doubt but that the appropriation will
be made.

DO YOU INTEND TO
VOTE ANY SPECIAL
LEV|ES FOR ROADS?
All Meetings to Vote Special
Road District Tax Must Be
Held in November According
to New Law.

There are no doubt many districts
in Lincoln county that anticipate voi.
ing special road district levies for the
coming year. However, according to
the new law, this will be impossible
unless the meeting to vote such levy
is held in the month OF November,
thus giving time to circulate petitions
to the county court, obtain the re-
quired order, post notices calling thu
meeting Of legal voters, etc, accord
ing to Judge James Of the Lincoln
County court.
Therefore, according to the Judge.
road districts anticipating voting
money for road building purposes
should get busy and make application
to county clerk for blank petition
forms in order that the meetings can
be held next month.

London, March 3-(By the A. P.) "Wednesday March eighth is the date set for Prime Minister Lloyd George for fulfilment of his ultima tum to Austen Chamberlain, accord ing to a report in parliamentary cir cles. If by that day he has not re- ceived satisfa ctory assurances of the loyal support of the coalition con- servatives, it is said, he will present to the king his formal resiknation of the premiership which he is now fig uratively carrying in his pocket.
 Numerous private meetings of poll tioians yesterday led to no official announcement of developments tend ing toward a solution of the crisis One of them, indeed. resulted in hard ening the opposition of the 'die hard" conservatives to Lloyd Georges lead ership.
 This meeting was held in a commit, tee room of the House of Commons where more than eighty conservatives members of the Commons and the House of Lords adopted a resolution affirming that ''in order to restore confidence throughout the country. and with a view to approaching gen. eral election, there is urgent need for reassertion of the conservative and unionist principles" The meeting is reported to have further decided that the utmost should be done to hasten the formation of conservative unioniSt government
