MOVE TO DREDGE SWAN ISLAND, OF MOKE THAN 265 ACRES, AND RECLAIM LOW LAND ON RIVER OBSTACLE BOTH SIDES OF RIVER, TAKES CONCRETE OKJH. NOTICE TO CITIZENS -HAY BE REMOVED OF P If Bonds Can Be Issued Swan it-fb r Island Will Be Dug Out and Dock Sites Filled T icmT i ANNUAL BUDGET $119,379 1Z. 5 "Mi ORTLAND Channel or 40 Feet Depth Will Re quire Removal of 30,000,000 Cubic Yards of Earth at Cost of About $3,600,000. 3wan Island, a barrier that hinders the construction of an adequate turning basin for vessels In the most advan tageous part of the harbor and nar rows the main ship channel to a dan gerous point for vessels passing north of the flour mills, will be removed by the Commission of Public Docks Im mediately, if taxpayers of Portland will back the Commission's plan for additional bond issues at the election November 4. It is Intended also to fill Mock's Bottom, lowland lying- on the East Side and to the north of the plant of the Portland Flouring- Mills Company, and to complete the fill on the Guild's Lake tract and at Bridgeport. The latter two are on the West Side. The Com mission has held an option on 80 acres of the Bridgeport piece, which will be renewed, and 80 acres additional may be Included. An option has been exe cuted also on Mock's Bottom, which will be extended to cover the period intervening until after the election. Ordinance Amendment Asked. As the McNary ordinance now pro vides that measures must be submitted to the voters 30 days in advance of an election, the Commission has asked the Council to amend the measure so that 15 days will be sufficient time in this case, the reason being that if SO days was obligatory, the Commission's amendments and plans would have to be announced today, while the Supreme Court Is to hear arguments on the present status of the Commission's bond-issuing powers October 8. -. B. Hegardt, chief engineer of the Commission, filed a brief report on the bwan island undertaking, as follows: Computations made of the ara and vol time of Swan Island. Portland Harbor, give ine xoiiowins results: Area wlthm low water shore lines Is Lt;..o4 acres. Arta within harbor line ia 346.60 acres. Amount of dredging required to remove irlaud, within harbor lines, to provide a 35 foot low water depth Is about 7.000,OUO cubio yards. Amount of dredging required to remove island, within harbor lines, to provide a 40 foot low-water depth la about 30,000,000 cubia yards. It is estimated this material can be, moveo tor aDoui 4 cents a cuoic yard, II deposited within practicable operating dis tance of the dredges. Based on the price of 12, cents a cubic yard, the cost of the removal of Swan Island for the 35-foot depth would be about 13.249.009. For the 40-foot low-water depth, about 13.600.000. Removal Favored by AIL One proposition considered was to acquire the island and install piers and slips, also warehouses, through which, it was figured. 34 vessels could be berthed at a time and facilities pro vided for storing grain and lumber, but the Commission was a unit In favor of the removal of the Island. "My Idea is that Swan Island should be removed and Mock's Bottom, Guild's Lake and Bridgeport properties im proved with the material dredged," said Dan Kellaher. Mr. Hegardt explained that material taken from the island and to be re moved from the channel would be evenly balanced as regards the low land on each side, and that the three pieces could be completely filled. He said 3.000.000 yards would fill 160 acres at Bridgeport and for 80 acres 1,300.000 yards would suffice. For the area on Mock's Bottom embraced west of the railroad tracks, 5.000.000 yards was es timated as necessary to fill 169 acres. With Swan Island out of the way, he said, the river there would be 4000 feet at the widest point and at least 3500 feet could be depended on for a dis tance of a mile. Property to Be Optioned. Reed College and the Sherlock es tate were said to be the principal owners of the island. As it was re cently offered to the Commission on a basis of 11000 an acre, it was voted that F. W. Mulkey be authorized to enter into negotiations with the own ers with a view to obtaining an option. A resolution was adopted that the es timate of the annual budget be as fol lows: For two semi-annual Interest payments at 44 per cent on $50.

It was reported that four rooms for the accommodation of the Commission could not be obtained at the Court 3 louse or City Hall. It was voted to purchase one $1000 city improvement bond with funds available, the invest ment being for the redemption fund to retire dock bonds of the first issue. GLUXED-EX TO WORK LUMBER British Yoeman Coming and Damara and Bessie Dollar Leave. At a rate of 5 shillings Thane & Co. yesterday chartered the British steamer Gleneden to load lumber here or on Puget Sound for Australia. The ship is on the way from Matanzas, which port she left July 31. for Vancouver, B. C, and was last reported sailing from Lebu September 15. She is of 301S tons net register. Another ship listed yesterday to load lumber here for Australia was the British bark British Yoeman, which Hind. Rolph & Co. will dispatch. She is at San Francisco, where she arrived September 25. with coal from Australia. The steamer Damara, the only American tramp of the big fleet that has been loaded here this season, left down last night to complete her cargo with piling t Stella. Captain William H. Coonau. M - Xv t VT z a'. if:- - ' her master, is proud of the fact he com mands such a large vessel that is dis tinctive in her class under the Stars and Stripes. The British steamer Bessie Dollar got away last night from Kalama, bound to the Orient with lum ber, but she sails via Grays Harbor to finish. The Norwegian steamer Bangor arrived yesterday from San Francisco, where she discharged a sugar cargo, and will load lumber here for North China In the line of the China Import & Export Lumber Company. UXE WILIj XOT BOLD DOCK Hamburg-American Satisfied With Charges for Services Here. Whatever options might have been held by the Hamburg-American fateam ,hin OnmnRnv. or credited to that cor nnntlnn. it will not undertake to build docks on the Portland waterfront or at other ports on the Pacific Coast, says W. G. Sickel. vice-director in charge of freight traffic and operation, who left the city last night lor rusei eounu, after having spent the day at Hood River. Mr. Sickel, when asked concerning renorts that his company had intended building docks here, said that so long as dockage facilities could be obtained reasonably no such move would be made, as it was against its policy to acquire docks at every port served. At present the Hamburg-American berths its vesesls at the JNonn juana uock, me Royal Mail steamers also being there, and it is probable the Holland-American will use that property, but with the completion of public docks they may divert at least some of their business. Mr. Sickel spoke of no future arrange ments further than that the company was satisfied with accommodations here, while the building of a dock by the line might mean greater expense for shippers. BEAVER OX BOTTOM AGAIX Barges Will Be Used to Id ft Steamer in Clatskanie. Though she was afloat on two oc casions the steamer Beaver, of the Clatskanie Transportation Company s fleet, is again hard and fast in t,ne Clatskanie channel, but resting in a better position and only being held until she can be raised more easily than first proposed. The steamer was shifted less than a mile downstream and against the bank so the steamer Elmore, which left on ner run last nlff-ht. can rjass safely. Large logs were used beneath the Beaver to raise her, but owing io low water and lack of space in the chan nel, which is a tributary of the Colum bia. he could not be lifted sufficiently to permit ol holes in ner nun uenis repaired, wow it is pianneu iu uimsc out a pLaca, In the bank large enough to accommodate a scow and by lashing another on the opposite side, raise the steamer and patch the noies tempo rarily so she can be brought here and hauled on the ways. APPRAISERS TO MEET HERE Collectors of Customs to Convene at Xew York Next 3Ionth. Members of the Board of General Appraisers meet at the Custom-House October 25 to hold general couri cases growing out of the importation f ntimprriin commodities in which the classification is principally the basis of contention between shippers and the Government officers, me questions con cern horses and harness brought in, cabinet woods, merchandise, sulphur and scores of others. Collector of Customs Burke has for warded word to all deputy collectors in the state to assemble at the Customs House October 13 to discuss various questions having to do with ways and means for the betterment of the serv ice, if possible, and to talk of matters for their mutual benefit also. In turn the collectors from all ports in the United States are to gather at New York November 3 and exchange views. It will be the first meeting of the kind, though it has been customary for ap praisers to assemble there. JETTY WORK WAITS FOR TIME ApDrorrrlation to Continue Grays Harbor Labor Due in 1914. WESTPORT, Or., Oct. 3. (Special.) E. L. Carnenter. U S. Government engi neer in charge of jetty work on the north side of Grays Harbor, opposite WestnorL Ravs they will be tnrougn insofar as the present appropriation is concerned, the early part of next Sep tember. The Government Intends to make still further extension of 5000 oi 6000 feet, but no money will be avail able for this purpose until the latter part of 1914. Thirty men are at pres ent on the Government payroll. It Is probable that next Spring will see work commence on the south side Jetty in Westport harbor, but Mr. Car penter says this will be entirely Inde pendent of the north side proposition. Additional equipment will be pur chased, and work will be done by a separate crew. Both jobs will proceed simultaneously Marine Notes. To work 300,000 feet of lumber for Los Angeles, after having loaded wheat In the hold, the steamer Rochelle left the harbor for Rainier last night. The Merced finished discharging cement and went to St. Helens for a lumber cargo measuring 1.000,000 feet. The Camino will discharge 32,000 sacks of cement today at Couch-street dock and the Daisy Gadsby is to unload a ship ment of the same material at Oak- street dock. To facilitate late ticket sales at Ains worth dock in advance of the departure of steamers for San Francisco and Los Angeles, W. D. Wells, general agent of the fleet, has caused a second booth to be built so there is one for cabin pas sengers and the other for steerage travelers. The steamer uear sailed yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock on the first trip under the Winter schedule. She had 260 in the cabin and 140 steer-. 4 M VI- SHOWING SWAN ISLAND, NARROW CHANNEL CAUSED BY IT AND RELATION TO LANDS SLR age passengers. In her cargo was 250 tons of canned salmon. Coming from London by way of Ori ental ports and Puget Sound the Royal Mail liner Den of Cromble arrived in the harbor yesterday morning on her first voyage here. Bhe berthed at the North Bank dock and by tonight will have discharged her inward cargo so she can begin working wheat and flour outward. She is to sail about Thurs day and will complete her load on Pueet Sound. The vessel is in com mand of Captain H. C. Hemming, who was here 10 years ago as master of the British bark Dundee.

City Provides New Inspector. An ordinance was passed by the City Commission yesterday providing for the appointment of an inspector in the public works department to Inspect the paving blocks to be laid on Fourth street. Provision Is made in the same ordinance for the appointment of a man at S5 a day to draft a map show ing the paving in Portland. The Fourth-street inspector will receive 137.60 a month. The greatest life-saving apparatus invented in recent years is the PULM0T0R. It is inval uable in cases where animation is suspended as a result of asphyxiation, electric shock or drown ing. The inhaling and exhaling of air is made automatically; therefore, it is invaluable for the restoring of life that depends on a revival of the faculty of breathing. The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company has purchased a Pulmotor and has placed it at their Main Office, corner West Park and Alder streets, where it can be secured at any time day or night. It is the desire of the Telephone Company to make this apparatus available for use in any case where it may be of service in saving human life. The public is invited to call up Main 8800, Local 54, and notify the attendant of any accident where the Pulmotor may be of service. An experienced operator will be dispatched at once with the Pulmotor to the scene of the accident and every effort will be made to assist in the saving of life. A regular physician should also be called at once. THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY YOUNG WIFE IS LEFT Husband, Refusing to Explain Desertion, Goes to Jail.

Charsred with the desertion and non aurinort of his wife of two months William H. Anderson, a bookkeeper emnloved at the Portland Gas & Cok fnmninv. was Dlaced In the County Jail yesterday In aerauii or juuu casu bail, or S4000 security.

His preliminary hear ing will be held today before uistrici Judge Bell. Mrs. Anderson, accompanied by her sister, appeared at the Courthouse yes terday and made complaint to Special Derjuty Sheriff Bulger ana Deputy uis trict Attorney Dempsey. Anderson was called over, the phone and asked to come over to the Courthouse. He came and admitted that he was the nusDm.a of Mrs. Anderson, that he hadn't con tributed to her support in the last few weeks and would not do so in the fu ture, and said to Mr. Dempsey: "I don't intend to support her. What are vou troinc to do about it?" Mr. Demosey responded by instruct ing Deputy Sheriff Bulger to take Anderson to the County Jail ana noia him pending the preliminary hearing today. "He is the smartest young man who has ever come into my office," said Mr. Dempsey, discussing Andersons visit to his office. When confronted by his wife In the Deputy District Attorney's office, he refused to talk or to explain nis deser tion. Anderson is 22 years old.

Speaker's Trials Aid in Bridge Campaign W. P. Connaway Experience Many Difficulties In Reaching TUlamooK Street Improvement Club. WP. Connaway, or Vancouver, Wash., who is assisting the interstate bridge campaign in Multno mah County, had a strenuous time Wednesday night In reaching the hall on Tillamook and East Eighty-second treets, where he was booked for a talk to the Tillamook Street Improve ment Club. He was directed to take the Montavllla car, which was the right car, but on inquiry of the con ductor where to leave the car, Mr. Connaway was told there was no such place on that line, but he must take the Rose City Park carllne. Mr. Connaway then returned down town and got on a Rose City Park car, if''-'-iVi-f A'Mv-r'r-f " .iiivi;-iiVi- t-Vi ir f 1 i i i - . i -i vi ; ' " n ''' and after reaching East Sixtieth street asked the conductor where Tillamook and East Eighty-second streets was. The conductor told him it was on the Montavllla carllne. "Well," said Mr. Connaway, "you take me to East Eighty-second street and I'll walk over, if It takes all night. I'm going to reach that hall tonight." It was late and dark when Mr. Con naway left the car at East Eighty-second street at Gregory Heights and stumbled through the darkness to the clubroom, more than a mile distant. It was late when he reached the hall, but the people were anxious to hear about the Interstate bridge. When they learned of the difficulty Mr. Connaway had In reaching the hall they were more interested than ever and It struck the people that if a Vancouver man could go through such an experience, retain his good humor and make a fine talk they could support that measure, and voted unanimously to support the bridge measure.
