RAPE OF NEWPORT HARBOR CITIZENS PROTESTING AGAINST ABRIDGMENT OF WATER WAY Action of Supervisors In Accepting Collins Map Calls Out Storm of Protest on Part of Citizens—Appeal to Be Taken to War Department The hearing of the application of W. S. Collins for permission to fill and construct bulkheads along the shore of Newport Bay according to the lines set forth in a map of Balboa Island filed with the supervisors of Orange county, was held last week in Los Angeles at the office of Capt. Amos Fries, U. S. engineer for this district, and present as protestants were the following Orange county citizens: Attorney Clyde Bishop, president of the Orange county harbor association; Supervisor George W. W. Angle, W. W. Wilson president of Newport Beach chamber of commerce Lew H. Wallace, secretary Newport Beach chamber of commerce; Fred Beckwith, John King and A. A. Lester, representatives of the Newport Beach board of city trustees. After the application had been duly recognized, a written remonstrance and objections were filed with Capt. Fries and the matter fully discussed, Attorney Bishop and others taking part. Capt. Fries carefully examined the map submitted by Collins and said it had always been his contention that the channel at that point in Newport bay should be not less than fifteen hundred feet wide and added that he was at that time not accumulation of tide waters and thereon, and will reduce the quantity of tide waters that come by the tide in and out of support bay by each of the tidal flows therein and will thus the tidal prism or basin of support bay and will thus cause mulation of sand upon the mouth or inlet thereof, and its inability of said Newport bay thereby become lessened and stroy its future usefulness commercial and navigation purpose (Signed.)

It has long been an the application had been duly recognized, a written remonstrance and objections were filed with Capt. Fries and the matter fully discussed, Attorney Bishop and others taking part. Capt. Fries carefully examined the map submitted by Collins and said it had always been his contention that the channel at that point in Newport bay should be not less than fifteen hundred feet wide and added that he was at that time not prepared to say that he would not make it seventeen hundred feet wide. The fifteen hundred feet width would set the lines back further than was asked for by protestants against the map presented to the board of supervisors here by Collins and accepted by that body, while if the suggestion made by Capt. Fries that the lines may be set back an additional two hundred feet is carried out, there will be nothing left to ask for by the harbor promoters. Capt. Fries' recommendation will be forwarded at once to the war department through the office of the chief of engineers, and an answer will probably be received within thirty days. In the meantime, Attorney Bishop says the plain duty of Orange county citizens is to get after their representatives in congress and see that the effort to save Newport harbor to the people is ably seconded. The written remonstrance and objections filed are as follows: To Jacob M. Dickinson, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.: In re, application of the Newport land company per W. S. Collins, president thereof, for permission to dredge and fill-in portions of Newport bay adjoining Balboa Island, a natural island existing in said bay: We, the undersigned, do hereby object and remonstrate against the approval of the bulkhead lines proposed by the map now on file in the office of Amos A. Fries, United States engineer, in the city of Los Angeles, upon the following grounds and the following reasons, to wit: First—That if the petitioners, to wit: The Newport land company are permitted to establish the bulkhead lines as proposed by said map, and it table, is more and more from the tone of foreign disgrace is rehabilitating her name a recent internal loan of great value was subscribed for a score over. Japan responds with twice as many men as the Michigan had under arms in times of Since the close of the recent Russia has been indefatigably double-tracking the trans-Siberian way. It has long been an all theory among European militaries that in the wofully infernal way service of this line lay the great causes for the defeat of Czar in Manchuria. This it seems, the Russians were on remedy, and with its apparent proach to completion come run an impending struggle, in which Jap faces inevitable defeat. It is great and powerful. It is, the United States, probably richest nation on earth. Japan the dregs of poverty. She has to the very limit of her end when the treaty of Portsmouth a halt to hostilities. The bleeding from its wounds, and beset by a revolution at home across the steppes, to a more propitious moment for at the foe. Predictions are freely made literary circles that Russia does tend to delay long before again at Japan. It is well known that Russia believes she would not have been in the recent war if the railroad had been double tailed. She believes that she would have been able to have rushed mill men to the front and crushed panese by force of numbers lined railroad been in shape. That Russia can secure money to declare war at any there is no doubt. The wealth in her churches alone amount to more than Japan's al debt, enormous though it grown. Besides this Russia have but little difficulty in a war loan. The anxiety of Russia to have second clash with Japan caused by the fact that she We, the undersigned, do hereby object and remonstrate against the approval of the bulkhead lines proposed by the map now on file in the office of Amos A. Fries, United States engineer, in the city of Los Angeles, upon the following grounds and the following reasons, to wit: First—That if the petitioners, to wit: The Newport land company are permitted to establish the bulkhead lines as proposed by said map, and it will be necessary to establish said bulkheads, in order to fill in behind the same by the proposed dredging, then by the establishment of said bulkheads, it will narrow the main channel of Newport bay at a distance of about one mile inland from the mouth or inlet thereof for a distance of about eighty rods in length to a width of less than six hundred feet. That that portion of Newport bay lying between Balboa Island and the main land south thereof in its natural condition is about 1800 feet in width; that to reduce the width of the main channel of Newport bay to a width of less than 1500 feet, will leave the chanel so narrow as to be wholly inadequate for navigation purposes and will destroy the usefulness of the same as a haven and harbor. Second—For the further reason and upon the further ground: That if the said Newport land company be permitted to establish said bulkheads and fill behind the same, a large portion of the land which is proposed to be filled being now covered by the tidal waters of said Newport bay; if the same be filled and said tidal waters excluded therefrom, will prevent the money to declare war at any there is no doubt. The wealth in her churches alone amount to more than Japan's al debt, enormous though it grown. Besides this Russia have but little difficulty in a war loan. The anxiety of Russia to have second clash with Japan caused by the fact that she down and out of the ranks of first-class powers. This was by Germany's affront in connection with the recent crisis in the P and the almost cringing manhunt which Russia was forced to Austria secure recognition of nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As soon as her old prestige gained, it is predicted, Russia have a word to say to some powers that have been taking a tage of her position.
