14 TTTE ' STJJTDAT OREGONTAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 16, 1913. INFLUENCE IS USED TO SECURE DREDGE Mammoth Digger, Similar to That Used on Mersey Bar , ; in England, Desired. COMMERCIAL BODIES ACT All Organizations Throughout Go T lumbla Basin Enlisted to Aid In Having Government Accede to This Request. I All commercial bodies throughout ths Columbia basin and all organiza tions -which are friendly to this terri tory will be enlisted by the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Port of 'Columbia Committee In a movement to secure from the Government a great new dredge to be used on the Columbia bar. They will be asked to use their Influence with all Pacific Coast dele gations in Congress with a view to se curing such a dredgre. and it is be lieved that if this can be done it will be able to serve not only on the Co lumbia, but will be available for such work in other parts of the Northwest. Recently the Chamber of Commerce started a diligent study, to determine what size and type of a dredge would be most effective for Columbia River channel work- This was done to de termine what might properly and Bafely be attempted In Improving the Chinook. Nctf Drcdire Favored. The consensus of opinion gained In these Inquiries has been in favor of a great new dredge, as large as or larger than the Leviathan, employed on the Mersey bar at Liverpool. Correspondence bearing this sub ject has been sent to General King nan and the Oregon Senators and will be sent to heads of railways interested In development of this territory, to chip owners and others. It is In part as,4follows: "The imperative necessity for early and nosltlve action for the improve ment of the Columbia River artery of commerce causes us to say: "First The enclosed map, which was Issued by the Port of Portland, shows the territory of 300,000 square miles that Is drained by the Columbia River and its tributaries. Under proper de velopment It is difficult to realize lt possibilities. "Tour attention Is also called to the enclosed copy of a letter of the Port land Chamber of Commerce, dated September 15, 1913, bearing on the re sources of this district. "Second This development Is, in a large measure, retarded because of the existing bar at the mouth of the Colum bia River. "Third The question naturally pre sents itself, 'What is the remedy?" While not underestimating the results obtained from the south Jetty already completed, nor the hope of greater re sults from the north Jetty soon to be commenced, we feel that the remedy is the use of dredges, not only for the purpose of hastening the obtaining of the desired depth of water on the bar, but also for its ultimate maintenance. Indorsement la TJrged. "That dredging can be done success fully we have only to refer to the per formance of the Chinook .during the season Just passed. "This being conceded when the Im plement, at us uest, la iiul iui iiiai could be desired, how much greater results might we not expect had we a dredge about as follows: "Length, 625 feet; beam, 80 feet; draft, when loaded, not over 22 feet hoppers wtlh a capacity of not less than 10.000 tons of sand; four suction pipes of 42 Inches diameter; a speed of 10 knots an hour. "This committee Is advised that a dredge of the size and capacity above mentioned will cost about $1,500,000. Ehould a bill appropriating funds for the construction of such a dredge be referred to you, we respectfully urge that your department give It favorable indorsement" Lowrey Wood, 21 East Seventh street, 94.4; A.

"I consider Clarke County one of the best agricultural counties in the state," said J. B. Atkinson, a prominent real estate man, recently. "Most of our soil is sandy loam, easy to till and will not crack or bake. Our county Is not mountainous, but slightly rolling, like the prairies of Illinois and Iowa. Clarke County Is well watered. The climate cannot be excelled anywhere.- We are now building fine gravel roads to all parts of the county and with the com pletion of the new interstate bridge we will have good transportation facil ities. "Vancouver, the county seat of Clarke County, is on the Columbia and has the natural advantages to make it a promi nent 6hipp!ng center. The city has a population of 12,000 with a growing: payroll. More than $800,000 was spent in new buildings this year and we will double that figure next year." Court.
