THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1906. IS LESS FORMIDABLE Present Channel Is Gradually Growing Deeper, Says Engineer. GAINS A FOOT IN YEAR Other and More Striking Develop ments Are Not Improbable, According to Army 3Ian's Annual Report. That the Columbia River bar, with 23 feet at low tide, has one foot more depth than a year ago, will be shown by the annual report to be forwarded today to the War Department from the office of Lieutenant-Colonel Roessler, who Is in charge of this engineering district. The report will treat also of the river channel between Portland and the sea, showing how the Government money has been expended, what has been accom plished and what remains to be done. Within the scope of the report will come the Celilo Canal and the upper waters of the Columbia and its tributaries. The most important part of the report will be that treating of the Columbia bar, for which a further appropriation by Congress at the next session will be ab solutely necessary for continuance of the Jetty project. The last appropriation will only finish that part of the Jetty exten sion begun in the last one or two years, and after it shall have been expended this year there will be nearly a mile of the south Jetty yet to build and the whole of the north Jetty, until the deepening project shall have been carried out. The crest of the bar is some 800 feet narrower than last year, where ships pass in and out. This is considered by Colo nel Roessler as a very favorable sign, and he and his assistant engineers would not be surprised at any time to hear of the bar crest breaking through at some point into a deeper channel-than at pres ent. The bar bends around the river en trance In an arc about miles in extent, and throughout its entire length it has an almost uniform depth of between 23 and 24 feet. This is a surprising condi tion, and is perhaps without a parallel in the world. The shoaling difficulties on the bar come from the heavy surf, which beats back the sand that is swept out by the scour ing energy of the currents, and builds it up into a ridge, called the crest of the bar. This effect of the surf Is shown plainly near the' present end of the jetty, where on the inner side is a depth of be tween 30 and 35 feet, while on the outer side, where the surf breaks, there is but 19 or 20 feet. At the extreme end of the prrsent jetty is 45 feet. The building of the Jetty through this depth would be difficult and expensive, and the engineers have not made up their minds how they will cope with it, when next year, a further appropriation ex pected from Congress, will enable Jetty work to continue. LIFESAVKRS SAVE FISHERMEN Boat Occupied by John Jurmu and J. Wuhkola Overturned. ASTORIA, Or., July 12. (Special.)

Portland & Seattle Road May Be Forced to Buy to Obtain Right of Way. STEVENSON, Wash., July 12. (Special.) In the Superior Court at Stevenson, Wash., today, Judge McCreadie held a preliminary hearing in the controversy between the Portland & Seattle Railroad and the Columbia Valley over the right of way of the two roads in Skamania County. Counsel for the Columbia Val ley admitted that the Columbia Valley Railroad is in reality the O. R. & N. A jury was secured today to try the condemnation suits of the Portland & Seattle Railroad vs. Charles H. Ladd et al., and the Portland & Seattle vs. T. F. Leavins. These two suits involve the con test for the right of way between Castle Rock and the Columbia River, and the Court and Jury visited the scene of the controversy this afternoon. The conten tion of the owners of Castle Rock Is that the building of the railroad will pre vent them from using the stone of Castle Rock for commercial purposes, as it will shut off their means of loading on the river barges and make blasting impos sible. It Is the local sentiment that the owners of Castle Rock have never Intended to quarry the rock, but have taken this means to force the Portland & Seattle Railroad to purchase the entire rock in connection with their right of way, at an exorbitant figure. Captain Short of 'the Oregon Round Lumber Company, of Portland, has been retained by the Portland & Seattle Rail road to give expert testimony In this case relative to the feasibility of trans portation of stone quarried at Castle Rock by water after the construction of the railroad. There is much interest in the outcome of this case, and it is now believed that this wonderful production of nature Is destined to remain in all its grandeur.

JUVENILE COURT TALK Judge Frazer Tells an Interested Crowd of Listeners of Working of Institution and Effect on Portland Youngsters. OREGON CITY, Or., July 12 (Special.) With her songs and stories of the old South Mrs. Gielow entertained another large Chautauqua audience this afternoon. Her stories and reminiscences of the old plantation days equaled in interest her splendid lecture of yesterday. Mrs. de- low's best story today, perhaps, was an account of how Jeremiah won Carolina by supplying a 'possum feast for the ob ject of his adoration. Tonight Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, D. D.. of Portland, delivered his able lecture on " Lincoln, or the Scorn of Consequences, ' being a character study of the martyred Jfresldent. The lecture was one of the ablest efforts of Dr. Wise, and was at tended by one of the largest audiences of this year's assembly. At the afternoon programme today Pro fessor Beal, the Chautauqua elocutionist, gave a reading, consisting of a recital of some of his personal experiences. Pro fessor Beal comes from Los Angeles, and while he may be a success as a reader, his attempted humor this afternoon proved exceedingly, tiresome to a sweltering audi ence. Mrs. Imogen Harding Brodie, the Chau tauqua soloist, made her initial appear ance this afternoon and was warmly greeted. She sang "Thy Name," by Mary Knight Wood, and for an encore gave The Nigntingale's Song," by Nevln. Judge A. L. Frazer, of Portland, this morning at the auditorium, delivered an address on "The Juvenile Court," in which he reviewed the workings of the juvenile institution at Portland, showing that dur ing the year the organization has been in operation more than 700 children have been brought before him for petty misdemean ors. In addition to this number of cases that came before the observance of the Juvenile court, 300 other cases were inves tigated, making a total of 1000 cases that received the attention of the court and its officers. There Is a surprisingly large attendance at all of the Chautauqua classes, and the membership in each Is increasing dally. Dr. B. J. Hoadley addressed his class in English -uerature at the second session concerning the story of the English Bible from Wycliffe to the American revision of 1901. "By all means." he said, "make use of the American revised version, which modernizes the Bible. It excels in exact ness and it represents American scholar ship. It is the very best version In the English language." Disappointed in that some talent that had been contracted for has failed to put In an appearance, the Chautauqua man agement has arranged for two balloon ascensions as additional entertaining fea tures or tnis year s assemly. An expe rienced aeronaut from Portland has been engaged and will make two ascensions one on next Monday after noon. Immediately following the ball game, and the second at the same time the following Saturday afternoon. In each instance, an ascent of from 3000 to 5000 feet will be made. The Portland Trunk Company this after noon defeated the Northwest Gun & Bi cycle iub at baseball, the score being 7 io 4 in iavor of the trunkmakers. Friday's Programme. MORNING.

(Special.) FACTS GUARANTEED NEURALGIA AND AN C MIA AR CURED BY PINK PILLS. Showing the Power of this Wonderfu Prescription Over the Blood And Nerve. " For nearly a generation the people of; this country have known Dr. Williams', Pink Pills, during which time proof of. thousands of cures by this remedy has been published and confirmed and not one person has been harmed in the slight-, est degree by their use. The pills con tain no opiate, narcotio or stimulant, nor any drug which could injure the most delicate constitution. Two oases in one family is a creditable showing as to the efficacy of Dr. Wil liams' Pink PQls in disorders of the blood and nerves and the following cases may easily be investigated by the in credulous : "For over a year, " says Miss Charlotte Van Salisbury, of Castleton, NY., "I suffered from neuralgia and palpitation' of the heart. My skin was pale and sal low and I was troubled with dizziness. fainting spells and fits of Indigestion. I was very nervous and would start at the slightest sound. At times a great weak ness would come over me and on one oc casion my limbs gave way under me and I fell to the sidewalk. 1 Of course I was treated by our local' physicians and also consulted a noted doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave me seemed to benefit me. One day I read in a newspaper about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I imme diately gave them a trial. I soon felt much better and my color had begun to return. I continued using the pills and by the time I had taken eight boxes I was entirely cured. 1 My sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suf fered terribly from anaemia. She was pale and thin and we feared that she would become a victim of consumption. 8he tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and in a short time she be gan to gain in strength and weights She is now strong and well and we both heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who are in ill health. " Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 centsper box, six boxes lor 2 50. by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co-, acnenectauj, . phlets free on request.
