In this connection I beg to refer you to the last report of the United States engineers upon the improvement of the harborat Coos Bay. The report shows there are fiftysix vessels engaged in this trade and a growing commerce. Just now. as Oregon is being opened up to easy immigration and is on the eve of a great progress already begun. it is clearly unadvisable to make changes. Since the recomnmendation heretofore made by the Treasury Department the situation is niaterially cliaiged. The completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad and the consequent development. aid the renewal of work on the Yaquina Railroad. with an assured prospect of speedy completion. materially changes the existing state of affairs from that when the Government inspector visited these sections.
