TTIE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY: SEPTEMBER 9. 1910. SO COST FIGURED FOR 30-FOOT CHANNEL Major Mclndoe Estimates Ex pense of Improving River at $3,250,000. 2 DREDGES PROVIDED FOR Iort of Tortland CommUsion Serks to Rcduc Prydork Charges and lu Solicit Patronage in All Parts of World. Fstimates of the com of providing a l-fnot channel from the foot or northern end of Rom Hand to the Pacific have 'teen placed at M.ISO.OOO bv Major J. K. Mclndoe. Corps of Enctneers. I". 3 A.. end he has eo reported to the chief of enrineers at Washington. The data are in compliance with a provision in the rivers and harbors hill of March 3. 199.. The estimate Include the cost of two netion dredges of the type maintained tr the Tort of Portland Commission, which will cost approximately 5:n.n00. The channel now has a uniform depth of ? feet and by January 1 the Port of tv.rtland will have lowered It to 17 feet. For dredsrlns; necessary to lower the road to 30 feet. Major Mclndnej has rlaced the cost at l.l7.!". and for the. removal of bare between Ross Island and the sea at J?3T.T15. w Dams and lko Wanted. For the construction of dams, dykes end other bank protections recommenda tion has been made for an apportionment f SI. 114.35. and the annual cost of maintenance for a few years, until the Siannel becomes permanent, is calcu lated at S35'000. Thes facts were yesterday learned by the Port of Portland Commission in monthly session, thou ah Major Mclnd'e lad previously written President Swl aert regarding his recommendations, and requested that the Commission advise him what Its future plans were and to what client It would co-operate with the Gov. rrnment. as It had been regarded as lib eral In the past by Concress. In replying. President SwlRert outlined he probable policy of the Commission and uceesled that It be assigned the Im provement of the Willamette River chan nel on a continuing contract ImsIs. The Intention to construct two dredges was received with expressions of apprecia tion by the Commlloners. as the organ ization has practically maintained the 4-hannel for three years from Cathlamet Ray to Portland and there is no provision In the last bill for aid on that stretch from the Government. Lower Tariffs Proposed. Another Important matter broucht be re the Commission was contained In a communication from the Willamette Iron Jt Steel Works and Oregon Irydock rnmmny. bearing on rates charged for the Port of Portland drydock at St. Johns. It was suggested that the pub lished tariff be reduced 4 rents on large vessels and 1 rent on smaller craft, as the charge now ranges on steamers from IS to 24 rents a ton an hour on et'am vessels and from IS to 19 rents on sailing craft. It was suggested that with a lower ing of rates there be Inaugurated a cam paign of solicitation among shipowners f the entire world, so that the tariffs would be sufficiently attractive to earn for the port regular patronage Instead of emergency work, as Is now received. The cut propped would make the rates IS per rent lower than are charged at nny Coast port. The drydock commit tee. Commissioners Wheelwright. Willis and Adams, were Instructed to consider the matter and reduce the rates if re garded advisable. Ian Maher. of the Marine Iron Works, obtained a reduction of the account for docking the Government dredge Chi nook from 9.3 to J.'.on. on a showing that her tonnage had been decreased from C59i to i-10 tons through renovations re cently completed. In addition to point- ' lug out that the craft is Intended to re-" some service at the Columbia River en trance itv the Interest of the port. Bonds to Be Sold. It was derided by the Commission to advertise locally and In the Kast for bids on S72.0O0 of Port of Portland towage bonds. The tenders are to be opened at the next meeting. It was said that the cost of the tug Oneonta was met from funds on hand and that the proceeds from the bonds would be used in replac ing the money and In providing for other towage Improvements. It was agreed that J. B. C. Lock wood was to be retained as consulting engi neer on a salary of $50 a month. The resignation of Captain Redd, as master of the fug Oneonta. was accepted to take effect September 15. and Superintendent Campion said that he would probably later ask authority to employ a suc cessor. EW SCHEDULE TO BE M.ME llarrlman Steamers Will I -rave in Afternoon Hereafter. Details are being worked out for the "Winter schedule of the Harrtman coast wise fleet, comprising the steamers Dear. Beaver -wnd Rose Ctty. which will probably become effective October 1. The schedule now In effect Includes the arrival of the Beaver here November 9. No change In dates Is contemplated, but imply In the hour of departure. The liners now sail at 9 o'clock In the morning, the departures being ar ranged for every five days, but It is planned to change the sailings to 4 o'clock In the afternoon. The reason as-elg-ned Is that steamers are unable to make the trip from Portland to As toria and load cargo there In time to leave the river before C o'clock, and as the days are becoming shorter they would aoon be going to sea after dark. Usually they arrive off the Golden Gate In the night, and have to lay to until daylight to cross In. Under the pro posed new schedule they would lose no time In arriving at San Francisco, be cause they would reach Astoria before midnight and have all cargo aboard by dawn, crossing out In time to reach the Golden Gate at daylight. MUCH LUMBER GOES TO CHINA Hulnes of Year Will Exceed 86. 000.000 Feet. Lumber drawn by the China market since January I. including an estimate of what will be dispatched on tonnage under engagement, will aggregate OOe.000 feet, according to figures com piled by local lumbermen who are In terested In the Far Kastern territory. It Is said that because of the unusual movement of lumber to that country the market Is so well supplied that the de mand is lax. and It la not expected to assume new life this year. Another heavy buyer Is Australia. where there continues to he an active rail for Oregon timber. Testerday the lirltlsh steamer Vancouver, which Is ly ing at Vancouver. B. C.. where she ar-rlved-recently from Singapore, was en gaged to take an Australian cargo from Portland. The schooner H. K. Hall Is loading for Sydney and there Is other tonnage under engagement that will swell the total for the bush country by the first or the year. Portland's lum ber exports will exceed those of the combined Puget Sound ports by a wide margin. SCOTTISH MONARCH IS TAKEX Wheat Season Will RecelTe Impetus In October. When Two Ship Sail. Portland's facilities for transporting grain to the I'nlted Kingdom were In creased yesterday SX7 tons through the charter of the British steamer Scottish Monarch. She sailed from Norfolk July 1 for Chlmbote and will be here for Fall loading. The tramp Urganda was taken last week for the same service and there are three steamers fixed for the business. The season will be reopened In Octolier with the departure of the barks An dromeda and General de Bolsdeffre. and as more sailing vessels will be In port then, a fairly good showing Is expected by January 1.

The craft has 1100 tons of cement to discharge. She made the trip to the Columbia River In five days, towed by the tug Dauntless, but was held at Astoria from Monday morning till Wednesday awaiting a tow. Steam Schooners Going: North.

Barring a little bulge early, when corn advanced on a frost scare, there was no strong spots In the wheal market. A depressing Influence was the disposition of buyers to back away from cash wheat here and In other ceniers. Moreover, the spread between the Septem ber and May options widened, the largest so far this season. Fluctuations in the De cember options were between 99a&99!ic and 11.01, with the finish steady at I.O0i to 11.00 J l.oOS, a net loss of a shads to c. predictions of frost caught many short sellers of corn.' Th resulting advance, how ever, was largely wiped out by the weak ness In wheat.
