Portland .will have one of. thqrtnest
harbors In the world, providing plans
now being prepared for various Im
provements In the Willamette river
by Engineer J. B. C. Lockwood ot the
Port of Portland, and harbormaster
J, Spoler, meet with the approval of
thp engineers of the United States
War Department. Back of these
men, It Is said, the Port of Portland
Commission stands ready and willing
to do anything within Its power to
carry out the stupendous Imnrovo-
ments suggested.
It Is proposed to dredge an Im
mense basin for the nnchorace nf
ships and a new channel west of
Swan Island. In this lmsin fnMii.
ties will be provided so that all large
seagoing vessels may anchor when
J not loading or unloading a cargo, and

the river, which, In winter, Is swept
by the high winds. It will also re
move them from all the small river
craft and the large log rafts which at
times become a menace tn shina nn.
chored, as such craft and rafts will
not be permitted to travel near the
anchorage basin, but take the chan
nel to the east of the Island.
It Is also proposed to cut a channel
along the entire west shore of Swan
Island for the purpose of straighten
ing the river at that point. This will
gjve a straight course of vessels com
ing and going through the immense
draw of the North Bank bridge
across the Willamette. This will not
only shorten the distance for vessels
coming to Portland, but it will also
eliminate the dangers w.hich lurk in
the narrow, swift and crooked chan
nel to the east of Swan Island, and
will give all boats a straight cnurnn
in which to pass through the draw of
the bridge.
