Office of Light-House Engineer,
Thirteenth district, 297
Portland, Oregon, , 187 .

the Board desires to spend money upon a discontinued station, but if it is the wish of the Board that the buildings should be kept in repair then the work should be done at once.

I had a good deal of trouble to find anyone who would even live in the house without a salary, but finally W. Bensell, who is a member of the Oregon legislature agreed to do as I have furnished him occasionally a little Paint and window glass.

I am Sir??? very reply.
