THE - MORNING- OREGONIAX, WEDXESDAT, FEBRUARY 25, 1914. TRESTLE OF JETTY 15 HIT BY WEATHER 16 . Score Bents on Washington Side of Columbia Entrance ; Have Gone Out. DROWNING IS REPORTED Assistant Engineer Bagnall Goes to fort Oantoy to Ascertain In De tail Damage Done Fully 3 60 Feet Is Lost. At least 20 bents of the new north Jetty trestle on the Washington side of the entrance to the Columbia River have gone out. owing to rough weather prevalent, which means that of about 1500 feet of trestle that was in place approximately 360 feet was lost. Information to that effect reached the office of Colonel McKinstry, Corps of engineers. U. S. A., yesterday from Gerald Bagnall, assistant engineer, who reported the facts from Fort Stevens and prepared to go at once to Fort Canby and ascertain the damage in de tail. Since it became possible to dump rock on the new project the principal con cern has been to keep the trestle In tact until sufficient material could be delivered around the piling- to afford protection. When pile-driving ended last year 900 feet of trestle was in place, and as opportunity offered dur ing the past week more trestle has been built, so there would be no reason to lower the dally record of 2000 tons of rock placed. Preparations were under way to in crease the dally delivery to 3000 tons this week and gradually add to the amount until 4000 tons or more were handled. Advices to the Port of Port land yesterday were that weather con ditions were not sufficiently severe in side to cause the dredge Columbia to cease operations on the channel north of Sand Island, which is to afford deep water for rock barges to Fort Canby. Observer Kallaher, at North Head, sent a wireless to District Forecaster Beals at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon that the sea was rough, but only a light southeast wind was blowing and no rain was falling at that hour, though . the sky was cloudy. One-quarter of an Inch of rain had fallen during the day. The 6 o'clock report Monday after noon Included the fact that the wind was whistling past North Head at 60 miles an hour and the sea was rough, so it was assumed here that at least some of the damage to the jetty oc curred during the night. ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.) Hervy Harding, who was employed as a trackwalker on the north jetty tres tle, was drowned about 10:30 this morning. The man was knocked oft the trestle by a huge breaker, and all ef forts on the part of the lifesaving crew to rescue him failed. He was unmar ried and about 38 years old. His, only known relative is a mother who resides In England. , SANTA CECILIA GOES SOUTH Messina Kntcra With Cargo of 5000 Hewn Logs From Japan.

Boiler trouble that developed aboard the steamer Tiverton, operating be tween Portland, British Columbia and Puget Bound, was responsible for her failure to sail for the North last night as . scheduled. It is hoped to get her away tomorrow night. The vessel was shifted from Oak-street dock to the riant of the Willamette Iron & Steel v orks to have repairs made.

BREAKWATER SERVICE BRIEF Completion of Coos Bay Koad Means Withdrawal of Steamer. News of enthusiasm displayed at Coos Bay over progress being made on the new line of the Southern Pacific be tween North Bend and Eugene h given rise to speculation as to what disposition will be made of the steam er Breakwater when the rail line is operating. Under a Federal statute, a railroad corporation is prohibited from maintaining a steamer service parallel lng its land line, as in the case of the North Bank road with reference to The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation Company s fleet on the Middle Colum bla. The new law is to become effective July 1, but would not apply to the Southern Pacific until about the end of 1915 or early in 1916, when it is hoped to have the railroad completed CROWN OF TOLEDO' COMING Glenroy Sent to Seattle and May Sail Direct From Portland. European cargo billed for Port land is aboard the Harrison liner Crown of Toledo, due at San Francisco next week from Antwerp. So far as has been ascertained, there is no change In her programme since It was made known that she would make Portland if cargo was offered. The liner Glenroy, of the Itoyal Mall fleet, which was to have proceeded here direct from Vancouver, had her orders amended, so ehe went to Se attle first. As the vesel loads con. etderable lumber here in addition te other freight and has a fair Inward list from Europe and the Orient, it Is presumed that she will take en out ward consignments from Pug-et Bound h. mm (j Tango and One-Step to the music of the Victrola.

SAILORS MUST HAVE BUTTER Court Allows $1 for Every Day Dairy Product Absent. Sailors on. American vessels are ap parently entitled to fl for each day they are at sea without butter being provided as a feature of the forecastle menu, as Judge Edward K. .Cushman, of the United States District Court at Tacoma, has so ruled in the case of an action instituted by seamen of the ship Edward R. W est against the owners. The case has dragged for over three years. It was begun when five tars libeled the ship at the termination of a voyage from Callao to Grays Harbor.
