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.

MOXEY RELIEF REPORT UNTRUE.
Banks Cannot by Law Xssne Notes
Beyond Far Value of Bonds.
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. Such action would constitute
a plain violation of the law. Up to
March 14, 1900, It was said National
banks could issue only 90 per cent of the
par value of the bonds, but the act of
that date permitted such Issue up to
their par value when deposited as se
curities. 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. He rec
ommends the retention of all these posts,
with the exception of Fort Yates, which,
he thinks, should be abandoned. He rec
ommends an Increase In tho garrison at
Fort Keogh. He also recommends legis
lation to settle the title to Fort Missoula
reservation, which includes part of a
school section.

statement tinder -oath before the officials
here, setting forth that on August 20, tlje
Venezuelan warship Restaurador, when

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.

THAT BRIDGE APPROACH
DOES PUBLIC OWX WHOLE, OR ONLY
PART OF STREET?
Are Vested Rights Involved at Docks
i
on Morrison Street? 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

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

. . . I v. it is not eaay.ror teams to pass when cars are on the approach At times
traffic is materially congested there. 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.

LOW RAlT ON APPLES
-SftUTHERX PACIFIC'S REDUCTION
TO CHICAGO ASD TEJCAS.
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.

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. As long as
these conditions and circumstances exist
It Is neither wise nor judicious, nor for
the best interests of our people and coun
try, to urge the restoration of the free
coinage of silver.
"What have been the uddltipn's, to our
volume of mosey? The United Btates
notco or greenbacks $345,651.016 have re
mained the same. . The s'andard sliver
dollara In lSS6 were 420.000.000. Now they
are SoSD.OOO.OOO, an increase of over 51C9.
000.000. The gold July i; 1S96. was over
5567,000.000. Now It Is over 51.1SS.C05.C03. arr
Incrcase of over 5620,000,000.
"In addition to this there has been a
large increase In the National bank notes.
The only decrease has been in the re
demption and cancellation of United
States Treasury notes Issued for the pur
chase of silver bullion. Our Republican
friends are crying. 'Let well enough
alone.' whenever we mention tariff- taxes.
Why do they not practice .on the financial
what they preach on the tariff question?
The Democratic party has not revived the
money question. Thc Republican patty
has done It and make3 an Issue of tho
rowler bill, designated as a measure to
'maintain the gold standard, provide an
elastic currency, equalize the rates of in
terrat throughc-ut the country and fur
ther amend the National banking laws.
