C. Langfitt [sic], corps of engineers, U. S. Army, stationed at Portland, Ore., on the improvement of rivers and harbors in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, together with recommendations relative to future appropriations, was made public today. The following are the recommendations for future apportionments: Columbia and lower Willamette river... $725,000 00 Improv Columbia be- tween The Dalles and Celilo........... 214,579 26 Mouth of Columbia... 600,000 00 Columbia river to Cas- cades..................... 150,000 00 Columbia river near Vancouver............. 12,000 00 Mouth of Coquille River....................... 75,000 00 Willamette river above Portland and Yam- hill river................ 70,000 00 Entrance to Coos bay... 142,970 64 Tillamook Bay............ 27,000 00 Siuslaw River.............. 65,000 00 Clatskanie River.......... 12,588 47 Coquille river from Co.. quille to Myrtle Pt.. 3,000 00 Long Tom River (an- nually).................... 500 00 Coos River................... 3,000 00 _________ COQUILLE RIVER IMPROVEMENTS. Important recommendations are made concerning the improvement of the Coquille River. Concerning the improvements to be made in the mouth of the river, the report says: "The project provides for obtaining eight feet at low tide on the bar at the mouth of the river by means of two jetties, one on either side of the entrance to the river. The expenditures during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, were $22,324.47, and the south jetty, 2700 feet long, had been completed, and the 1500 foot north jetty had been completed for the distance of 510 feet, giving a channel ranging from seven to thirteen feet at mean low tide. It is estimated that $75,000 additional will be necessary to complete the project by extending the north jetty seaward about 1000 feet." The proposition for improving the Coquille River between Myrtle Point and Coquille City is described to be for the purpose of obtaining a low-water channel four feet deep, 50 feet wide and 13 miles long, for the benefit of small steamboats. The expenditures during the fiscal year were $3820.68, for dredging shoals between those two points It is considered that $3000 may be advantageously expended in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903. ____ COOS BAY. That the improvement of the entrance to Coos Bay is considered to be of great importance is made plain by the recommendation concerning it. The project says the report [sic], provides for obtaining a channel through the bar at the entrance to the bay having 20 feet of water at low tide. Up to June 30, 1901, the north jetty, 9600 feet long, had been completed. This gave a channel 20 feet deep at low water through the bar. It is considered that $142,970.64 may be advantageously applied in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, in placing additional stone in this jetty. The improvement of Coos River provides for keeping the stream clear of snags for the benefit of small steamboats. A small amount was expended during the year on a deflecting dike. It is considered that the sum of $3000 may be advantageously expended during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903, in removing snags and dredging shoals in this stream. + War govt world filler OT- OT-England CoqB 55a August 2, 1901 MUST END BOER WAR ______ Member of Parliament Gives Warning to English Gov- ernment. ____ New York, July 27. --Following the information cabled that the rumors of an important step toward enforcing peace between England and the Boers had pervaded the house of commons [sic] for several days came in a speech made by Gibson Bowles, conservative, that caused a profound sensation, says the London correspondent of the World. Mr. Bowles gave the government solemn warning that unless peace were made in South Africa before spring, extremely grave complications would confront England in Europe. The speaker declared further that he knew that negotiations had been proceeding on the continent within the last six months, and were still active, with the object of inducing or enforcing peace. In view of these conditions, he said, England could not persist in outraging the feelings of the great powers without paying a heavy penalty. + Natl filler world war racism-ethnic misc-word CoqB 55a August 2, 1901 Lieut.

It was a very hot day, and when the drive was about half over the horse became balky. The driver thereupon lost his temper and gave the animal an unmerciful beating. Then the trouble began. A constable saw him and promptly arrested him for cruelty to animals. He was unable to pay the money, and his companion settled the business for him. Then she went home, and wrote him a note, and this was what it said: "When a man will so brutally beat a horse and so easily lost his temper, a woman marrying him would take the chance of the same treatment." And the rest of the note released him from his engagement. Most people will be of the opinion that the young lady in question did exactly what was right, and that she was fortunate in discovering the disposition of her fiance before instead of after marriage. Insensibility to the pain of another is not a trait which is particularly desirable in either a husband or a wife. While, of course, it is not to be inferred that every man who will beat his horse will also beat his wife [sic]. Cruelty to animals so vitiates the moral nature that those perceptions upon which a sense of justice depends are blunted. [M. 2007.

After having been in the federal court for some years, the case of the United States against the Coos Bay Wagon Road Company was decided in Portland lately, by Judge Bellinger, in favor of the government, and the company will be required to pay at the rate of $1 an acre for some 1100 acres of land, which were located outside their indemnity limits and afterwards sold to innocent purchasers. Some time in the 60's the United States gave the state a grant of land for the purpose of constructing a military road from Roseburg to Coos bay. This grant was turned over by the state to the Coos Bay Wagon Road Co. which built the road and was entitled to a certain amount of land. They made their locations, but by some mistake, located 1100 acres outside the limits prescribed by law, and the government has since been engaged in a legal action to recover the price of the land, inasmuch as it would be difficult to recover the land and not work great injury to the present owners. + RealE Tot-Multi prices CoqB 63 August 16, 1901 [first is not on microfilm printout; item must be under the heading of Real Estate Transfers.] quille, $269.31.

The cases were appealed to the general land office [sic], where the decisions of the register [sic] and receiver were sustained. The cases were then appealed to the secretary of the interior, who affirmed the decisions of the lower tribunals, and now a motion for review in each case has been denied. The reason for the loss of their claims by these entrymen [sic] was that they did not live upon the land in question, as provided by the homestead laws. The fiction that it is only necessary to go upon the land once in six months and stay over night in a cabin has deceived many a homesteader. It requires residence, cultivation and improvement of the land to hold a homestead, and it must be continuous or as nearly so as the circumstances will permit, so the department has ruled. A person who has made an entry can go to some other place and work to make a living if necessary; but his home must be on the land, and nothing else will take the place of actual residence and improvement. Because some entries are made and the land patented when there is no actual residence, for the reason that no contest is made, it must not be inferred that the law requires nothing more than a cabin, a little fence or clearing and an occasional trip to the land claimed. --Ashland Town Talk. + Natl-filler animal-bat?
