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.

CASTLE ROCK MAY STAND
CONDEMNATION SUIT NOW ON
TRIAL AT STEVENSON.
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.

DR. WISt LECTURES
Audience at Chautauqua
Hears Study of Lincoln.
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.

Hot Weather Hurries Harvest.
EUGENE Or., July 12. (Special.) The
condition of the crops In the Upper Wil
lamette Valley, especially around Eugene,

haying season is about half over and the
crop to be harvested will be one of the
largest for years.
The warm wave which has extended
over the valley during the past few days
has been somewhat detrimental to the
wheat crop, which, according to the far
mers, has advanced too far. Harvest
nands are reported scarce, even with the
good wages offered.

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
