	note = {It was hard luck for the future development of Siletz Bay to be in a port district that had been formed for the improvement of the Yaquina River, but in 1924 that was the case, and these improvements had left the district {\textquotedblleft}bonded almost to the legal limit.{\textquotedblright} (p.2)  There was precious little room for Siletz.  In the early 1920s, the Multnomah Lumber \& Box Co. was pressing for improvements to the Siletz harbor to allow shipping of timber out of the harbor, but the request, which would have meant expensive jetties, went nowhere.  {\textquotedblleft}While the large amount of timber tributary to Siletz River is of considerable value, the local conditions are such as to justify the belief that it can be more economically handled overland through the port of Yaquina Bay{\textellipsis}{\textquotedblright}  (p.4) The report gives a brief physical description of the area, the state of the bar, and economic development. A table gives shipments at Siletz Bay for 1923. In Google Books.},
