MORE WATER ON BAR
Channel Has 24 Feet at Low
Water in Columbia.
BIG DREDGE TO STOP WORK
Engineer's Method of Construction
Saves Jetty Trestle From Serious
Damage by Storms,-and Re- .
-pairs Will Be Made.
The Columbia bar has 24' feet of water
at low tide, an increase of three feet since
last June. The deeper channel is due to
the extension of the jetty. Only a fraction
of the extension has -been completed, and
If Congress supplies money this winter
lor finishing the work, the depth is ex
pected by the United States engineers to
exceed SO feet two years hence; perhaps
to approach 40 feet. Two more summers
will be needed to complete the extension.
Examination of the Jetty yesterday by
the Government tug George H. Mendell
showed that the recent violent gales have
not damaged the unfinished jetty, nor in
jured the new tramway. About 4000 feet
of old tramway, eaten by teredoes, was
recently swept away, but work has al
ready begun to replace it. The cost of
this work will be about 935,000.
The 7000 feet of new tramway withstood
the storms remarkably well, and the en
gineers are highly pleased. Major Lang
fltt's plan of at present building up the
Jetty only to two-thirds its full height has
undoubtedly saved the trestle, since it al
lowed the seas to spend their force un
obstructed beneath. The new section of
the Jetty Is built up to a height of between
13 and 20 feet, and when finished will be
.20 feet The jetty is yet to go out 6000
feet. The aim of the engineers is to se
cure 40 feet at low tide.and if the exten
sion now building will not scour out that
depth their plans call for another Jetty
.from the north cape. The estimate of the
chief of engineers for the next river and
harbor bill will not finish the Jetty. Ma.
Jor Langfltt has estimated that the sum
necessary for completion is $1,320,000, and
the chief of engineers has cut this down
to $776,000.
The big bar dredge Chinook will be laid
off at the end of this month for repairs.
From now until Spring the bar will bo
too rough for effective dredging. Repairs
will be made to the boilers, and the stern
post, and the vessel will have to go Into
drvdock. The cost of the repairs will be
between $12,000 and $15,000. If Portland
bidders can win the contract the big ves
sel can be lifted out of the water In the
Port of Portland drydock.
It is the generally accepted opinion that
the dredge has done more to eat up the
last congressional appropriation than to
deepen the bar.

Why Teachers Are III Paid.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 22. (Special)
In an address on the "Status of the
Teacher" before the Linn County
teachers Institute in this city this fore
noon, Superintendent "V7. G. Hartranft,
of Seattle, characterized school teaching
as the lowest-salaried profession in the
world. And ho blamed the school
teachers in part for this condition of
affairs. He said the average length of
service of the school teachers was three
years, and on account of this most
schools were taught by inexperienced
teachers with a consequent lowering of
t"e standard of the profession.
This is one of the principal reasons,
Superintendent Hartranft said, why
salaries are not raised. If teachers
enter the profession with the proper
spirit and qualify themselves so they
become indispensable to certain dls
trlcts they can demand their rights in
regard to salary and be paid what they
are worth.
Besides the address at assembly tho
teachers are receiving a great deal of
practical instruction in different Im
Dortant subjects of school work. Tho
instructors are Superintendent Hart
ranft. President E. D. Ressler and Pre
fessor C A. Rice, of the Orecon State
Normal School, and Professor T. A.
Hayes, of this city.
Death Lurked in Jugs.
PAYETTE, Idaho, Nov. 22. A mixture

New "Brutality" Fad.
London Brutalltarian.
It is -full time, in this age of decadent
humanltarlanism, that some trumpet
tongued protest were raised against the
prevalent sentimentality, and that there
should be an attempt to organize and con
solidate the forces that make for
manliness and patriotism.
If we are fools enough to allow the use
of tho lash to die out. good-by to all the
sterling traits in an Englishman's char
acter! What could bo more pitiful than the
plea put forward by the naval lords, for I
instance, that boys In the royal navy are
not "flogged" but "birched," In spite of'
the fact that every public school man In
the country knows that the terms are
identical?
The Brutalltarian will at least make It
impossible for our friends to repeat these
errors, for it will frankly, fully, and con
sistently uphold flogging (under that
name), whether with birch, or" cane, or
"cat."-or any other instrument, as the
mainstay of British education.

POTATOES SAVE PIPES.
Vegetable Placed In Boilers Neutral
ize Effects of Acid.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Owing to a worklngman's discovery
that potatoes placed in boilers will coun
teract the action of foreign acids and
alkali on the boiler tubes, thousands of
dollars will be saved annually by the Car
negie Steel Company at Its big mills in
the lower Monongahela "Valley.
The water of the Monongahela River Is
said by men familiar with Its action on
boiler tubes to be the most destructive
of any on record. Expensive water-soft
ening plants costing as high as $10,000
have come to be considered necessary
equipment of boiler houses getting water
from the Monongahela River.
The Carnegie Steel Company made ex
haustive tests to ascertain what chemical
would neutralize the effect of the acid in
the water and rejected as Impossible
many alleged processes. The only means
deemed of sufficient note to Install Is
mechanical water-softening plant which
passes the water over beds of chemicals
and then slightly heats it before using.
With this process specimens of heavy
pipe are shown which have become as
porous as baked clay through the action
of the water during a short period. Men
working on the boilers of the Carnegie
works cite Instances where boiler tubing
has been eaten through, within firs- day a
after being placed In use. In one. case an
froir pipe five-eighths of an Inch thick

er and awaited results.. The allotted time
for the life of the tubes passed, and no
leakage was discovered. The time was
doubled, and attention was directed ts
the- time the tubes lasted. The working
man told his employers of his idea. Sep
arate trials were Inaugurated and an ex
haustive Investigation was made.
The result Is said to have been more
than satisfactory. It was found that the
starch In the potatoes almost entirely
counteracted the acid in the river water.
No secret has been made of the dis
covery, companies ana inoiviauais own
ing boiler plants using the river water
have been quick to give the potato a
trial, and the reports have been without
exception satisfactory.

Dyspepsia remedies, but continued to get worse. Could eat
but little and suffered greatly. I was reduced in weight and
run down to nothing In strength. After using a few bottles cf
Kodol Dyspepsia Curs I began to improve and am now fully
restored In weight, health and strength. 1 am now able to do
my own work and can eat whatever I like.

disagreeable drains which draw the lus
ter from the eyes and the vermillion
from the lips as well as sap the body's
strength. They quench the internal
fires of inflammation in which the very
elements of beauty are consumed. They
heal the ulcer which gnaws into the
very life. They walk the world as won
ders women exempt from the sacrifice
to love. How have they done this? By
the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription, which makes weak women
strong and sick women well. It matters
not how weak the woman is, or how sick
she is, "Favorite Prescription n will cure
the womanly ills that vex her; will
round out the sunken curves of her
form, put light in her eyes, tint her
cheeks with health's carnation, and
make her a glad and happy woman.
Hundreds of thousands of women testify
to the truth of these statements. Jet
every ailing woman read the two testi
monials given below and remember that
these two women speak for more than
half a million other women cured by the
skill of Dr. Pierce and by the use of his
"Favorite Prescription." There is no
alcohol in "Favorite Prescription,"
neither has it any opium or other
narcotic.

it seemed impossible to obtain a good
night's rest. I became emaciated, hollow-eyed,
and suffered with -frequent
heart palpitation. Complexion was bad
and "muddy" looking and I had a hag-
fard expression. I felt as though life,
ad lost its charm; did not care to live,
for life without health is simply a living
death. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion changed all this. It came as 'a
blessing into my home; I felt better in
a short time after starting to use It, and
within a month I was like another wom
an. New life, health and vigor returned
and my husband fell in love with me all
over again, and a new light and. happi
ness came in5 my life, your medicine
did all this for me, and it is certainly
worthy of praise."
" I was a great sufferer for six years and
doctored all the time with a number of
physicians but did not receive any bene
fit," writes Mrs. Geo. Sogden, ii Bonds.
Street, Saginaw (South), Michigan. "I
had given up all hope of ever getting
better, thought I would write to you.
When I received your letter telling me
what to do I commenced to take your
' Favorite Prescription ' and follow your
advice. I have taken ten bottles in all,
also five vials of the ' Pleasant Pellets.'
Am now regular, after having missed
two years and suffered with pain In the
head and back. I was so nervous, could
not eat or sleep. Now I can thank you
for my recovery." ,
