| Notes | Reports on a preliminary examination of the entrance to Siletz Bay. Gives a brief description of the area, which had only recently been part of the Siletz Indian Reservation. Recommends against development of the harbor as being too expensive, and with uncertain returns. “The only industry near the mouth of the river is that of Kern Bros.’s salmon cannery, which is located about 2 miles above the bay. This cannery has a capacity of 300 cases per ten hours, and its output for the season of 1896 was 6,000 cases.” (p.3) Includes a map of the bay (p.4) showing it in an almost completely undisturbed condition.
