(Special!. - Major Mclhdoe, of the United Bute engineering Corps, having In charge tbo proposed construction of - the canal around the Falls, haa made pub lic the details of bis official report to tbo War Department. Ho place tho coat of construction for an Eaat Side canal at 8775,000, without con sidering tha cost of tho right of way and the- damage which will accrue from Injury to ' riparian rights and loss of high water power. The esti mated cost of an eaat aide canal, made by Major Mclndoe, io aa fol io wa: 27,000 cubic yards rock exca vation at $2.50 per cubic yard f 67,600 29,000 cubic yard subaque ous rock excavation at $4.25 per cubic yard 31.250 cubic 'yards of con crete In-, place at $8 per cubic yard t. 900 linear feet of cribbing at $30 per footi,.... 165,750 250,000 27,000 30,000 Coffer work 7 pairs-steel gates, operating . gear, etc 1,05,000 Engineering and contlngen " " cles o 129,000 $775,000 Damage Not Estimated. "The value of the right of way on this route la problematical,' aaya tho Major in hla report "The only struc tures to bo removed would be the -wharf of the Oregon Railroad ft Navt- gation Company and the Crown-Co- ' lumbia Pulp ft Paper Company build ings. 'A hundred foot right of way for about L400 feet along tbo water front, estimated at $10 a front foot, , will coat $14,000. to which may be added $G.400 for the dock, making a total estimated' cost of canal aafl locka $795,400. No estimate la in cluded for damages to riparian own era, for loaa of water power or for damages to others claiming Interests . which would necessarily be Interfered with by tho construction of locks on tho oast side of tho Falls. The ripar ian owners claim riparian privilege as far as tho center of the river chan nel." . . - ' It will bo observed from the fore going report that Major Mclndoe , eliminates the Hawley pulp ft Paper Company, and the figure, $775,000, by which be hopes to secure tho con struction, is baaed upon tho fact that the lino of tho canal only strikes the Crown-Columbia Pulp A' Paper Com pany buildings and destroys tho Ore gon Railroad ft Navigation Company wharf. Mr." Hawley maintains that the proposed canal, oven if It does not hit his building, will destroy his wharf, which is not mentioned In tne report. The valuation of the water front at $10 a foot Is regarded aa very low. t Route Cuts Through Docks. ' Over and above the figure $775,000 la the cost of the riparian rights and , damages to the property which lie between the proposed eaat aide canal and the river. A considerable strip of this land will be separated from the mainland, and the disadvantage In being so placed will have to be determined when It comes to the question of value. A strip of land Is used at present for dockage by the Hawley Pulp ft Paper Company, run ning from Main street to the liver. The canal will cut thla directly In two. As to tho water power lights. It Is a long and doubtful story and of necessity will Involve a groat deal of dispute. Just how this matter may bo determined is hard to outline. It Is asserted that the damages wblch will be asked for will run up to con siderable more than $500,000. Uius making the cost of an east side canal $1,275,000, If a half million dollara Is the vslue of tho power rights and property damages from construction of an east side canal. . Major Mclndoe' estimate of the cost, according to his report, of re constructing; the west side canal la as follows: , Renewing timber work and fenders In cavan and locks. $15,000 7 pairs new wooden gates . complete with valves and -4 ' all working parts (lnclud- ' ,' Ing remodeling of old .gates) at $5,000 per pair.. 85,000 14,000 cubic yards concrete for dividing wall, at $8 per cublo yard .7. . . . .7. .7". ."IT Tlmbefplatform for wall.... 18.600 cubic yards of sub- aqueous rock excavation, at $4.25 ber cubic yard.... Engineering and . contlngen - ctes ' 112.000 3,200 79.050 65.750 Total i. $300,000 Canal Offered For 8512,000. The price aaked by the Portland Railway, Light ft Power Company for Ita west side canal la $512,000, which, with the $300,000 Major Mclndoe es timates aa necessary to make the old canal Into a modern one, would place tho coat of reconstruction at $812,000. One of Major Mclndoe's - expressed desires is to utilize the west side : canal for. tba transporting of boats ' while a government canal la being constructed on the - east side, and for that reason ho prefers the eaat side proposition, even though It costs more, ' Ho estimates It will tako fouf year to build the east side canal and aV 1 i r. i P..
