THE MORKIffG OREGONIAff. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1902. 11 CANALS AT RAPIDS Government, Engineers Up ;. . the Columbia. , PLANS TO OPEH NAVIGATION Consider Means of Getting: Aronnd Obstructions at The Dalles, Celllo Falls and Ten-Mile Ha pi de Captain Harts' Flans. The special board of Government en jrlneers that went 'to The Dalles Monday night returned last evening to this city on the steamer Regulator. Tho engineers were escorted throughout the trip by Representative Malcolm A. Moody, who took upon himself the duty of making the journey comfortable and enjoyable. "I endeavored to let the engineers see the ground to the best possible advan tage," said Mr. Moody last night. He had arranged for the transportation of the. board by rail to Celllo, and back from Tho Dalles by boat. At his solici tation the O. R. & N. placed a special car at Its disposal. The board Is made up of Lieutenant Colonel "William H. Heuer, Major Will lam L. Marshall, Captain Edward Burr, Captain Casslus E. Gillette and Captain Charles H. McKlnstry. Captain W C. Langfltt accompanied the party. Coarse of Canal Examined. The engineers spent all day Tuesday. in epectlng the course of the canal as pro posed by. Captain Harts. Yesterday they were on the Columbia River on the ateamer Regulator. They devoted the time on the river to study of Captain Harts' plan and deliberation thereon. It is not possible to tell what' the de cision of the engineers is in regard to the feasibility of the canal; in fact. It Ib doubtful if they have yet made up their minds. Blnce their personal in spection of the route of the proposed waterway, they are discussing the project among themselves, and their con clusions will not be reached until they have fully exchanged their Ideas In re gard to the enterprise. It Is not prob able that they will decide against the report of Captain Harts. Their present -duties are believed to bo those of re ducing the expense of the Improvement in its important details. Tuesday morning bright and early the board started from The Dalles In the same car in which It had spent the night. About one and a half miles below Celllo tho engineers left the car, walked down to tho river and were ferried across to the Washington shore In a seining boat They spent about two hours Inspecting the course of the proposed canal around Celllo Palls. This canal will be over half a mile long and will have a lock at the lower end. At about 11 o'clock they returned to the car and went up to the foot of Celllo Falls. Thence they re turned down stream to Summit, where they went down to the river again and inspected Ten-Mile Rapids. "Work at TenOIIle Rapids. These rapids are very swift. Captain Harts planned to reduce their velocity by means of a dam at the narrows, about three miles below, which would raise the level of the water at that point and re duce the current above. Captain Harts also planned to lessen this rapid by means of an artificial channel around to the northward. This channel would take off a large part of the water .that now rushes down Ten-Mile Rapids. The engineers thence went down to the site pf the proposed submerged dam at Old Messhoutc, where the river Is, only ISO feet wide.- Here Is the most difficult engineering problem of tho whole canal. The canal from this place down to Big Eddy will bo about 9000 feet long. At several places the sides of the canal will have to be built up. The board spent Tuesday night at The Dalles. The ertglnr.ers will probably Temaln In Portland a day or Itto yet, deliberating over the: ianal project and the Improve ment of the bar. They are extremely reticent about divulging any part of their Investigations, and have declined to participate in any social activities of a formal nature. RECORD ON LAND FILINGS Fiscal Year 1002 Easily Surpasses All Others. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept. 21 The' forthcoming annual report of land Commissioner , Hermann will show that the fiscal .year 1902 sur passed all others, not only in the number of homestead entries made, but In min eral locations, and practically all other forms of settlement, while the total rev enues derived from the sale and disposal of public lands exceeds the amount col lected In any one year in the history of the country. A year ago, when 'high water mark was reached Jn public, land business, a slight decline was expected for me year just closed. The remarkable and exceptional showing Is taken as an evi dence of the material prosperity of the country, for in years past hard times have retarded the settlement of the West. The final figures for the past year have not been fully compiled, but enough Is known to indicate the general result. Commis sioner Hermann says his office has never done so much work in any one year, nor made such a creditable showing. TROOPS FOR. MILITARY PARADE. Root Designates Soldiers to Attend National G. A.

WASHINGTON, Sept 24. It was stated at the Treasury Department to day that- there is nothing In the report that Secretary Shaw proposes to allow National Banks to issue circulating notes beyond par value of bonds deposited as security.

Report for Department of Dakota. WASHINGTON, Sept 24. Brigadier- Department of Dakota, In his annual re port says the discipline and instruction of his command are good, because, as a rule, the officers are capable and pains taking. He quotes from Major Alfred Reynolds, Inspector-General of the De partment, to the effect that he "Inclined to the opinion that the abolition of the beer feature in post exchanges has not materially Increased the number of trials by court, nor called for other extra dis ciplinary measures." General Kobbe says that, with tho ex ception of the posts at Helena, Mont, and Bismarck, N. D., tho military stations In the department date back to the days of the Indian warfare, and were originally placed with reference to Indians.

A leading .German merchant who recently escaped from Ciudad Bol ivar, arrived here yesterhay and made a statement tinder -oath before the officials here, setting forth that on August 20, tlje Venezuelan warship Restaurador, when steaming up the Orinoco River for the second time, in order to again bombard Ciudad Bolivar,. h6Isted "the American flag in order to be able to xeach that city without arousing the .suspicion of the In habitants as to her Identity, and that by this strategy' the Restaurador reached the custom-house at Ciudad Bolivar and im mediately opened fire on the center of v the city, causing loss of life and damage to property from the quarters Inhabited by foreigners. "" The merchant also stated that the for eign Consuls and all the population of Ciudad Bolivar protested against tho ac tions of the Restaurador. Two bridges on tho English La Guayra Caracas Railroad were blown up with dynamite September IS by the revolution ists. Venezuela Makes Apology-.. WASHINGTON. Sept 24. The singular circumstances .reported by the German merchant In the above telegram were explained by the receipt of two cable grams from United States Minister Bow en. at Caracas, at the State Department this afternoon. The first dispatch stated that the Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador had approached Ciudad Bolivar flying the American flag. She did not lower the nag until she was very close to the shore, when she opened fire upon the Insurgents from her position there, creating great consternation. ' When the Restaurador returned to La Guayra, the fact was reported by Minis ter Bowen. who indignantly demanded a complete apology from the Venezuelan Government and also that the flag of the United States be saluted by the offend ing ship. The second cablegram from Mr. Bowen reports that the Venezuelan Gov ernment promptly acceded to the terms, a suitable apology, and the Commander of the Restaurador hoisted the American flag and flred a salute. The matter Is still under consideration by the State and Navy Departments. YOU AIIEWAVTED, But Yon Will Be All the Better for Having: Gone Through it.

Position of the Parties. The doctzjne of vested rights is to be Invoked to preserve the Morrison-street entrance to the lower docks at either side of the bridge approach. The owners of those docks say they were granted the right to reserve a part, of the street as an entrance to their property, for which they quote two ordinances passed by the Common Council away back In 1869. But the act of the Legislature author izing the construction of the Morrison Btreet bridge did not take those ordinances into consideration, and formally gave the GREATEST DREDGING PUMP IN UNITED STATES, FOR PORT OF PORTLAND. THIRTY-EVCH DREDGING PUMP. The abovo Is a picture of the 30-lnch centrifugal dredging pump for tho new Port of Portland dredge. The casing of tho pump has arrived, and is being put In place. Tho revolving "flyer" that goes inside the pump Is being finished up In Cali fornia, and is expected to be here any day. The pump is the last of the machinery of the dredgo to be set up. The dredge should bo finished and ready for work within three weeks. Its total cost. Including that of Its tender, now building on Puget Sound, will be about $225,000. Steam was raised in two of the four boilers last Saturday. All the" engines worked-perfcctly. The big engine, which will run the 30-lnch pump, operated smoothly It has 1500 horsepower." Kach of the four Heine safety hollers has 330 horsepower. The hull of the dredge Is very stanch. It is 225 feet long and 42 feet wide, and draws about five feet of water. The dead weight of the hull Is about SOO tons, and of the dredge complete, about 1400 tons. The dredge will have fepuds 80 feet long, and will be able to work to a depth of JS0 feet. It will be the most powerful machine of its kind in the United States. Its working capacity will be three times that f the Port of Portland dredge now in service. bridge company the right to make the west approach to the bridge on a level with the grade of Front street Nothing was said In It about reserving any space for an entrance to the lower docks at the side of the approsch. However, when tho time came for building the approach, about 18S5. the owners of the abutting dock property made an arrangement with the bridge company by which tho present pasojgeway to the docks was obtained. So the matter hao rested to this day. The city has grown and there Is now call for a bridge of greater capacity at Morrison street A two-story structure being im practicable there, the only way to get an adequate bridge lg to make it the full width of the street; and It Is of no use to have a wide bridge If the entrance to It is to be choked by a reservation Jn the center for a passageway to tho lower docks. - This is the question the city de sires to have settled before the time shall come for building the new bridge. The ground taken by the city is that It has the power to establish street grades and that, when the grade of the Morrison street bridge approach was fixed at the level of Front street, the abutting prop erty had the same rights that adhere to property on other streets where the grade Is fixed by ordinance or statute. That is. the adjoining property should be brought up to the authorized grade In order to get free access to the street Entrance to parts of private property not on street PRIVATE PASSAGEWAY IN MORRISON-STREET BRIDGE APPROACH Utw r?,nlih0 SVf bctffen curbs on the west approach of Morrieon-street bridge is taken up by the private passage way to, docks below the grade at either side of the street.. This passageway Is In the middle of the street, as shown. In theSurT which Is a view looking eastward toward the bridge.

This does not matter so much now. because the bridge is narrow, nnl cannS accommodate nS'Sf i T PaSS ? MtrJCt0d approach' but ,f thc brI the extra width would be useless Ind ea now tho business houses on the approach suffer Inconvenience becauss to much of the etreet Is taken up by the subway But the owners of the property thus inconvenienced own ithe docks underneath, which are so greatly benefit by TtJ tbl o complaint comes from them. It is only the general public that suffers the Inconvenience without recompense grades must be provided by the private owner. If he choose to hive sub-basements or upper stories, well and good; but he cannot take part of the. public street for an incline, up or down, to reach floors not on grade. This Is the" view taken by the city authorities. They, say If the owners of docks abutting on the Morrison bridge approach wish ingress and egress on that street they must, on i their own property, get to the street level. Now they use part of the public street tcget up to the legally established 'street grade. And tho part of the public street thus withdrawn for private use Is what the city wishes to restofe to the public In order that the full benefit of a wide bridge at Morrison street may be. en joyed. At the south side of the approach the property Is owned by the Stephen M6ade estate; tho estate of Aaron Meier owns that at tho north side. Both are ndw used as" a woodyard, and the woodman -also uses the dock In the street under the approach to the bridge. That 13 public property. No bill has yet been drawn to raise money for building a new bridge. W. D. Fenton, president of the East Side Im- provemcnt Association, has that matter In hand and Is out of the city. East Side people are the active movers for the new bridge, and they will see that an early start Is made toward getting one. Eut thus far It la not known what the pro visions of the hill will be. In a general way It is said authority will be asked for Issuing bondo to the limit of 5250,000 for rebuilding the bridge. Whether the city or the county will be pledged for the pay ment of the bondo and the maintenance of the bridge is a matter not yet settled. But there Is general agreement upon the point that It Is desirable to find out wheth er the city can use the whole street or only part of It for the west approach. Those Hieroglyphics.

Enables Oregon Producers to Market Common Stock That Would Jfot Move Otherwise. General Freight and Passenger Agent Coman, cf-ihe Southern Pacific, has In structed Agent Countlss, of the Transcon tinental Association, to quote reduced rates for" apples from the Oregon lines to points In Tzas and as far cast as Chi cago. The present rate Is 51 a hundred. The new rate Is "5 cents to Texas and Missouri River points, and S5 cents to Chicago and St Louis and common points in carloads, minimum weight SO.000 pounds. These new rates apply through Portland, cxc&pt on" shipments destined for Texas, whleh will start direct South. . The reason for the reduced rates Is that there Is a large crop of common apjlles in Western "Oregon, particularly In the southern part of the state, which. In view pf the abundant yield in' the East also, could not be moved to market at the 51 rate. There would bo. no profit In it, there fore the prtducer could better afford to let the apples of this class rot on the ground than to take the trouble and risk of sending them to a markot that would no more than make him even on the trans action. The lower rate will "Suable the Oregon grower? to put their common ap ples into Texas and the Lower Missouri and Mississippi Valleys with sufficient promise of profit to Induce them to make the shipments. The railroad company gets the buslners. the Oregon producers clear np their orchards at a small profit and the great Interior gets fairly good fruit cheap. Business ii created and waste. Is prevented by the device of the cheap rate. Oregon also has a large supply of first class apples, thafc can well afford to pay the 51 rate andleave a good profit to the grower. Of course, the rate sheets cannot say that these apples shall pay more than the others; but It so happens that the market for the superior apples Is In New York, not in the Mississippi Valley, and the rate to1 New York remains unchanged. The fine apples will pay 51 per 100 pounds and the common fruit- will pay the leas rate that will enable It to move. EXPORT GRAIN CASE. Wichita Charges Discrimination in Favor of Kanuas City. WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 24. The Inter state Commerce Commission was in ses sion here today. Martin A. Knapp, chair man; C. A. Prouty, Joseph W. Fife and Jame3 D. Tolman, members, and P. J. Farrell, attorney, were present Tliey heard testimony In the case known as the "export grain case," In which Wichita claims that the railroads discriminated on Gulf rates in favcr of Kansas .City and against Wichita. Tho commission ex pected to complete the hearing today, but it became so much Interested In the subject that it has announced that it will continue the hearing three days.' Expert testimony was Introduced show ing that three-quarters of tha wheat of Kansas is grown within a radius of 100 miles of Wichita, which pays a rate of 236 cents -to Galveston, while Kansas City sends wheat through Wichita to Galveston on a 15-cent rate. It wa3 tes tified to that Nortonvllle, north of Wichi ta, shipped wheat to Kansas City and thence to Galveston via Wichita at a rate 7 cents less than the Wichita rate. Secretary Herzer, of the Wichita Board of Trade, testified that he had positive knowledge that Kansas City grainmen received rates to Galveston at even less than the published tariff. Superintendent Blddlc, of the traffic department of the Santa Fe, admitted that Wichita was a more natural grain market than .Kansas City, but Eastern roads terminating at Kansas City insisted on nnklng that the grain center, so they could compete for the grain trade of Kansas. He thought that the roads going south, from Kansas City, such as the Kansas City Southern, were partly responsible for the low Kan sas City rate; that being heavy haulers of lumber they could carry wheat south ward cheaper than roads that could not have their cars filled bothways. The Interstate Commerce Commission J regards this case as a very important one. TO SHOW OREGON PRODUCTS. Southern Pacific Will Send Exhibit to Peoria Corn Carnival. On notice from Immigration Agent G. M. McKlnney that he had secured 103 square feet at the Peoria corn carnivaL for a display of Oregon products, General Freight and Passenger Agent Coman, of the Southern Pacific, sent word at once that he would use it. and he Is now col lecting an exhibit that will do credit to the state. He will avail himself of a num ber of the best displayG at the State Fair Just closed at Salem, which will be freshened by additions from various, parts of Western Oregon, which Southern Fa ciflc agents are now collecting. Every exhibit will be carefully labeled, so that there will be rb doubt where It comes from, and the whole display will be made to show Oregon In Its proper advantage and among surroundings that will make It lmpreprive. It Is expected that this will be the means of 'attracting much attention to Oregon In a quarter which does not know this state well. Ohio Railroad Sold. COLUMBUS. O., Sept 24.

WHY HE DESERTS 16 TO I i CocUrell's Words That Strike Terror to- Democracy. Following Is the. bombshell exploded In the camp of Democracy by Senator Fran cis M. Cockrell. of Missouri, follower of Bryan and the original supporter of Senator Henry M. Teller for President on a silver platform: "As long as the present conditions and clrcumotances exist It Is neither wise nor Judicious nor for the best Interests of our people and country to urge the restor ation of the free coinage of silver. "There are two questions In which the people of this country will always be In terestedtheir money and their taxes. They want good money, subject to the least possible fluctuation In its purchas ing power, and in sufficient quantity to meet the demands of their numerous pur chases and payments and transact the business of the country without strin gency or redundancy. I believe in the gold and silver coinage of the Constitu tion, and that Congress has no consti tutional power to. demonetize silver and deny its use as metallic money. Under the bimetallic system this country grew and prospered, and when silver was de monetized, in 1873, and Its coinage as full legal tender money stopped, the vol ume of money was reduced, prices fell, business was paralyzed and ruin followed. "I believe that the restoration of bi metallism by the full and unlimited coin age of silver dollars with full legal tender, equally with gold by our nation indepen dently of other nations was both wise and practicable and could be successfully and profitably executed and maintained, each the equal of the other at home and abroad. I then believed In the greatness of our own people and our nation and that, we were then, as now, the greatest nation a world power. Subsequent events have only confirmed and strengthened my views. "Since then conditions and circum stances have greatly changed and the policy then wisest and best may not meet the -existing conditions and circum stances. Had we succeeded In. 1895 and restored hlmetallsm, wp would have asked those opposed to our views to give bimetalism n fair trial, because we as serted that it would Increase the volume of good, sound money, revive our Indus tries and bring prosperity. We failed. The Republican party triumphed and passed the act of March 14. 1900. de claring the sold dollar the standard unit of value, but did not stop the coinage of the rflver bullion in the Treasury, purchased, under the act of July 11. 1S90. nor take away thc legal tender of the standard silver dollars. This act author ized the refunding of the greater part of the then outstanding United States bonds into new bonds, payable only In gold coin, and most of them have been so re funded. "In addition to thle there was an abnor mally large Increase in the production of gold throughout the world and a large ex cess In the Imports of gold over the ex ports and a large excess in the exporta of 'merchandise over Imports. In the six fis cal years, 1S96 to 1901, both Inclusive, the excess of exports of merchandise over im ports was 52.743.000.000. and the excess of tho imports of gold over the export? in the five fiscal years. 1S97 to 1901. was more than 521.000.000. there being an excess every year except In 1S0O. when the gold exporui exceeded Imports over 531,693,000 On July 1, 1S02, the stock of money in the United States was 52.55S.770.769, with 5312 241.3oi held in the Treasury. Estimating our population at S0.000.000. we now have a per capita of 532 34 in this country and of 528 In circulation. On July 1. 1S96 our circulation per capita was' only 521 10 an increase of 56 98 per capita. This la an enormous Increase In per capita money In circulation In this 'countryi "The effect of this Increase- in volume of 'money has been precisely what we -bl-metallsts claimed would be the result of the increase of the money by the free coinage of silver and fully sustains the quantitative theory of money. With thl3 Increased volume of money prices have risen, Industries have revived' and pros perity has been brought in.
