RUSH JETTY TO FINISH
Economy Requires Uninterrupted
AVork, He Says Lower River Re
quires $450,000 and Celllo
Canal $750,000 This Year.
OF.EGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Nov. 13 (Special Correspondence.)
General Mackenzie, Chief of Engineers.
1n his estimates recently submitted to the
Secretary of War. asks for only $1,000,000
to continue work on the jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia River. In his an
nual report, however. General Mackenzie
makes clear the necessity for securing
authority to expend an additional J1,4S0
000, which will be ample to carry the
south Jetty to completion. He says:
The work on the Jetty should not be
prosecuted piecemeal, as heretofore, as past
experience with insufficient funds has been
very expensive. Future operations should
therefor be conducted with a view to fin
ishing the south jetty without interruption,
and the whole amount, 12.430.244. should
be made available, at least fl. 000.000 being
appropriated outright and the remaining
tl. 450.244 pledged under continuing contract
authorization.
In his repart General Mackenzie reviews
the work that has been done at the mouth
of the Columbia and points out what re
mains to be done before the demands of
commerce are met. Among other things
he says:
Difficulties of Jetty Work.
' At the present time there remains about
8 600 feet of the extreme end of the Jetty
to-be built under future appropriations.
No material Increase In the channel depths
has taken place sinre last annual report,
but the survey of this year compared with
that of last year shows a marked scour in
side and outside the bar on a southwesterly
course, which it Is reasonable to Buppose
will, in course of time, attack the gradu
ally earrowtng. crest and afford Increased
depths over the entire bar.
The difficulties that have beset the work
accomplished during the past three years
cannot be overstated. Gale after gale has
driven its mountainous seas against the
cuter two miles of Jetty and trestle, tumbling
down the crest of a finished but too narrow
section of the enrockment and carrying out
at different times miles of the pile trestle
over which the rock is conveyed. No lan
guage can adequately describe the fierceness
of the onslaught. The place must be seen
to be understood and appreciated. It is
perhaps no exaggeration to say that there
is no work in progress In the United States
today at all comparable with this one In the
difficulties, uncertainties and dangers that
arise at every stage of Its construction.
That the board's estimate should have
teen largely exceeded In the work already
done. under the conditions above stated,
should not create surprise. In point of fact,
the board's estimate was based upon a sec
tion of minimum width on top which has
been found much too small, upon an en
rockment of much less depth than has been
actually required, and upon a single line of
trestle where, as above stated, several
months have been required to repair the
ravages of wave and teredo.
There has been expended on this work to
June 30, J90S, $4. 161. OSS 05. of which $1,968.
753 1 was under the ortginal project and
J2.1M.S35 81 under the existing project.
Channel Below Portland.
For the Columbia and Willamette from
Portland to the sea General Mackenzie
Tecommends an appropriation of $450,000,
but points out that. it. will require a total
of $2,673,509 to complete the 25-foot chan
nel. To complete the project for Improving
the Willamette above Portland, the Yam
hill and Long Tom Rivers will require an
expenditure of $163,500. Only $60,000 Is
asked for for the coming year.
Deep Channel to Vanconrer.
No appropriation is now needed for im
proving the Columbia, between Vancouver
and the mouth of the Willamette. The
reporter says:
The amount expended, on this protect to
June 3. 1906. was ( 130.53 06. of which sum
$32 971 SO has been applied to maintenance.
The work done during the fiscal year con
sisted in dredging a cnannel through the
shoals below Vancouver, 150 feet wide and
20 feet deep at low water: also making re
pairs to the dike at the head of Hayden
Island. It may be said that the project
for dredging has been fully completed, and
at a considerable saving over the cost
named in the approved project.
The maximum draft that could be carried
at extreme low water during the past year
was about 20 feet.
The dredging of the channel has furnished
lw-water navigation to Vancouver for ships
drawing 20 feet, and will he of great benefit
to the lumber industry. Vast forests of vir
gin timber are within easy reach of the
latter point, and the country also produces
great quantities of fruit, hay. grain, etc
Vancouver has railroad connections and a
line is now being constructed down the
north bank of tne Columbia from Kenne
ulck. Wash., to Portland. Or., crossing the
Columbia by bridge Just below Vancouver.
It Is not believed that the Improvement will
affect rates on local or transcontinental
shipments.
The t-undry civil act of June 30. 1906. ap
propriated $13,000 for continuing the work,
and this amount, together with the balance
from previous appropriations, will be suffi
cient for maintaining both the dredged
i hannel and tne dike for at least two years.
The deep-sea tonnage from Vancouver Is
lumber, shipped principally by coasting ves
sels, and during the calendar year 1905
amounted to about 10.000,000 feet, valued
at approximately $l."so,ooo.
It will require $300,000 to complete the
work on the canal at the Cascades, but
only SlOf. .000 Is needed next year.
Af-ks $750,000 for Celllo Canal.
Work On The Dalles-Celilo Canal has
only just begun. In addition to money
already appropriated. S3.533.3PJ must be
appropriated to complete this waterway.
Only $750,000 has been asked for for the
ensuing year. The report says:
At the close of the fiscal year two con
tracts were in force one for widening the
channel at Threemlle Rapids by removing
ledges projecting out from shore, the other
for beginning the canal at Celllo. Under
the first-mentioned contract dangerous
lfdgej have been removed and the channel
at Threemlle Rapids has been widened 50
to 100 feet. 1'nder toe second contract
some progress has been made In excavating
the boat and lock basins and In laving the
concrete foundations for the river wall at
The amount estimated as a profitable ex
penditure will be applied to continuing the
canal section below that lfccluded in the
present contract at Celllo.
Columbia Above Celilo. .
N'o estimate has ever been made of the.
amount necessary to make the Upper
Columbia and Snake rivers navigable the
entire distance from CVlilo to Tittsburg
Landing Ten thousand dollars is needed,
next. year.

amounting to $358.396 40. 'nave resulted in
removing some of the worst obstructions to
steamboat navigation between vrelilo ana
the mouth of the Imnaha River. The con
trolling depth at low water between Riparia
and Asotin, the stretch continuously navi
gated, is about 3H feet, navigation above
Asotin being impractible at low water on
account of a number of obstructing rocks
and extremely swift current in the rapids.
The present head of low-water navigation
is Asotin, 26 miles above C-lUo, or 4S0
miles above the mouth of the Columbia Toe
removal of a number of ledges and isolated
rocks In the several rapids above Asotin
will make low-water navigation possible,
with the aid -of lining on rapids, with a
controlling depth of .24 Inches, to the
mouth of the Grande Ronde River.
Following the completion In June, 1905,
of the Dalles-Celllo Portage Railway, con-
j structed by the State of Oregon, navigation
resumed to a umitea extent on trie
lumbta and lower Snake Rivers, between
Celllo "and Lewlston. A steamboat to op
erate regularly on this route is now being
constructed by the Open River Transporta
tion . Company, and It is expected during
the coming fall months that permanent
navigation will be resumed and that much
grain will be carried by river from points
in Eastern Oregon and Washington.
Dredge for Coast Harbors.
The harbors and rivers upon which Im
provements are tn progress, or upon -which
the Improvements already completed require
periodical work for their maintenance, are
Tillamook Bay and Bar. Taquina Bay, Stu
slaw River, Coos Bay and Harbor, and the
Coqultle River, Oregon.
Navigation Is often greatly delayed by
the forming of shoals, the material depos
ited, in most Instances, being of such na
ture that it cannot be easily handled with
a dipper-dredge.
It is estsmatcd that a combination suc
tion and- dipper-dredge could be ad
vantageously used and so constructed that
it could be taken from harbor to harbor
as the necessities demand.
The cost of such a plant, with two dump
scows, would be approximately $60,000, and
it is thought that the necessity for its use
will fully Justify the expenditure, the funds
to be provided by a special appropriation,
the operating expenses to be paid from
funds available for maintenance of the har
bor upon which it may be used.
An appropriation of $40,000 Is recom
mended for the Coquille River. $600,000 be
ing needed to complete the project.
DISCHARGE MUST GO ON
TAFT ORDERS 5TEGRO TROOPS
DISBANDED FOR RIOT.
Rescinds Suspension of Action by
President's Direction All Efforts "
Fail to Get 'Evidence.
WASHINGTON. Nov. II The War
Department issued the following state
ment today concerning the negro
troops ordered dismissed at Fort
Reno:
"In the matter of the order dis
charging the enlisted men of three
companies of the Twonty-fifth Infan
try, issued by the President, a plan
was presented to the Secretary of
War by a number of persons of stand
ing asking for a re-hearing by the
President on the ground on which the
aattion was taken. The Secretary tel
egraphed the President of the appli
cation and delayed the proceedings of
the discharge until the President could
indicate his wishes: The Secretary
was meantime called out of town.
No answer was received from the
President. The Secretary on his re
turn drd not feel justified in further
delaying the plan of the order of dis
charge especially in view of the fact
that the Secretary then learned that
the President had fully and exhaust
ively considered the argument against
the order of the persons who now applied-
for a re-hearing. - Accordingly,
the Secretary directed yesterday
(Tuesday) that the proceedings for
discharge be continued without de
lay." .
Later in the day Secretary Taft received
a dispatch from President Roosevelt and
Issued the following additional statement:
"A telegram was received from the
President at 11 o'clock today, after the
previous statement was given out at the
War Department, in which he declines to
suspend the discharge unless there are
new facts of such importance as to war
rant cabling him. He states that the
action was taken after due deliberation,
and that the only matter to which he can
pay heed is the presentation of facts
showing the official reports to be in whole
or in part untrue, or clearly exculpating
some individual. If any such facts later
appear he can act as he deems advisable,
but thus far nothing has been introduced
to warrant the suspension of the order,
and he directs that it be executed."
Secretary Taft says that immediate
steps will be taken to recruit colored
soldiers to replace the men discharged
Members of the three companies who
were on a furlough at the time of the
Brownsville affair and three members
who are to be tried by court-martial will
not be mustered out. It was authorita
tively stated today that the matter of the
dismissal of the troops has not beerl
brought to the attention of the President
by the White House officials since he
left Washington more than ten days ago.
None of the protests which have been
filed against the carrying out of the ac
tion have been received at the White
House, but have gone to the War Depart
ment. In his summary of the reports made by
the other officers and of his own efforts
to discover the guilty soldiers, Brigadier
General Garlington declares that every
means of getting evidence concerning the
shooting was exhausted. All the men of
the three companies were talked with In
dividually, and all. he says, evaded ques
tions and evn refused to discuss the
events at Brownsville which were known
to have enraged the negroes before the
riot. He says:
The secretive nature of the race, where
crimes axe charged to members of their color.
Is well known. Under such circumstances,
self-protection or self-interest is the only lever
by which the casket of their minds can be
pried open. Acting upon thla principle, the
history and record of the regiment to which
they belong, the part played by these old
soldiers in this record, 'were pointed out and
enlarged upon. The odium and disgrace to
the battalion and It individual members by
this crime were indicated. The future effect
upon the Individuals and upon the battalion
as a whole was referred' to. and, finally, the
concern of the President of the United States
on the matter, his desire and the desire of
the War Department to separate the Innocent
from the guilty were expressed, but without
effect. i

have ieen discharged today. We will not
proceed until ordered ,to do so from
Washington."

SLAYER OF INFANTS
Daughters Become Accusers
of Their Mother.
SAW HER BURN YOUNG BABE
Women Immigrants From Germany
Find Their Mother In Horrible
Occupation and They Give
Evidence Against Uer.
NEW TORK, Nov. 21. The spectacle of
two women denouncing a a murderess
the woman who brought them into the
world, but whom they refused to call
"mother," was witnessed in the office of
District Attorney Jerome today. The
women are Mrs. Wilhelmlna. Ihrig, of this
city, and Mrs. Marie 6coch. The mother
whom they accused is Mrs. Wilhelmlna
Eckhardt, who was arrested yesterday on
a charge of having performed an illegal
operation.
Both Mrs. Ihrig and Mrs. Scoch as
serted that they did not wish to be known
as the daughters of Mrs. Eckhardt, who,
they say, is not worthy to bear the name
"Mother.'' Both declared they had seen
Mrs. Eckhardt kill hour-old infants and
dispose of the bodies by burning them in
her kitchen stove. They said also that
they had seen Mrs. Eckhardt perform
criminal operations upon women in her
East Ninety-third-street home, and Mrs.
Ihrig declared that her mother had quar
reled with her because she refused to as
sist in burning the bodies of babies.
Daughter Turns Upon Mother.
Mrs. Scoch told the District Attorney
that when she was three days old her
mother wrapped her In a bundle of rags
and cast her into the street. She was
rescued by her grandmother, who reared
her, and with whom she remained until
she became a woman. When she came
to this country, she found her mother
conducting a disorderly house and she
declared that her mother sought to have
her become an inmate of the place. She
refused.
The first she knew of her mother's pres
ent occupation, she- said, was when ijfa.
Eckhardt's little adopted son made a dis
covery in the house, which led to the ex
posure and Mrs. Eckhardt's arrest. When
she learned of the discovery made by the
little boy. Mrs. Scoch said she went to
her mother about it and she declared
Mrs. Eckhardt proposed that they go
into partnership. This she did. after con-
sulfation with a representative or tne
County 'Medical Society, with a view to
causing Mrs. Eckhardt's arrest.
Saw Mother Strangle Babe.
It was while occupied in this position
in her mother's house, phe says, that she
procured evidence which resulted in Mrs.
Eckhardt's arrest. She declared that
she saw her mother perform an operation
on Anna Jackson, otherwise Sally Brown,
a colored woman,. to whom a child was
born in the house, and her mother told
her how easy it was to iill a child and
to dispose of it by burning the body in
the wove. She declared that her mother
actually did kill 'the baby by twisting its
neck, and that afterward ehe burned it.
Mrs. Ihrig came here four months ago
from Regensburg. Germany. She testi
fied that she lived with her mother after
coming here, and that in August last she
saw her mother burn the bodies of In
fants. She says that she quarreled with
her mother, because the latter wanted her
to burn the bodies in the otove. She told
the District Attorney also the name and
address of another woman, who. 6he said,
had seen Mrs. Eckhardt burn the bodies
of Infants.
WOE TO INDIANS OF STATE
Oklahoma Preacher Predicts They
Will Be Robbed of Land.
M ALESTER. I. T.. Nov. 21. There was
one dramatic incident today before the
Senate investigating committee he'e. Rev.
J. S. Murrow. of Atoka, who is engaged
in Indian educational work, addressed the
committee against the removal of restric
tions, and in a violent speech assailed the
white men of the territory as the despoil
ers of the Indians.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, interrupted
the speaker by the statement that in a
short time the state government of Okla
homa could settle these questions. Rev.
Mr. Murrow broke in:
"God save the full-bloods when state
hood comes."
Senator C. D. Clarke, of Wyoming, with
an indignant glance, broke into the speech
with:
"Mr. Murrow. do you mean to tell me
that the 1,200,000 white men of Oklahoma
would conspire to rob the pitiable rem
nant of 16.000 full-bloods of their land?"
"I do. sir." replied Mr. Murrow. "I
firmly believe it."
"Well, then, I don't." replied Senator
Clarke. "I think better of my race and
the citizens of the new 6tate than to be
lieve any such thing."
STRAW J1EX FOR GUARDIANS.
How Indian Land Passes Into Hands
of Speculators.
ARDMORB. I. T.. Nov. 2L Before the
United States Senatorial investigating
committee, which arrived here this after
noon. W. B. Johnson. ex-District
Attorney, charged that under the present
system of appointing guardians for In
dian minors "straw men" are named,
and through them control of the land
passes into the hands of the specula
tors. F. K. West, an Intermarried Chickasaw
Indian, submitted a brief to show that
the present lease law made it possible
for speculators to grow rich at the ex
pense of the Indians. He advocated the
sale of surplus land in 160-acre tracts,
requiring five years' residence before the
issuance of patents. Deputy United
States Clerk N. P. McCoy and Probate
Clerk G. F. Gates testified regarding the
manner of appointment of guardians by
the court.
The Senators manifested much interest

CHICAGO HAS WIND AND RAIN.
Breeze Smashes Chimneys, Wrecks
Buildings, Injures Several People.
CHICAGO. Nov. 21. Much. damage was
done in Chicago and suburbs today by a
severe rain, snow and wind storm. In the
business section of the city a number of
signs were blown down and several pe
destrians have sustained slight injuries.
The chimney of a building at 128 Clark
street was sent crashing through a sky
light covering the kitchen of a restaurant
next door. The room .was filled with
waiters, who Ced in wild panic into the
dining-room as the mass of brick came
down upon them. The patrons of the
restaurant, seeing the waiters In full
flight, became panic-stricken. In turn, and
all rushed into the street, several people
being severely bruised In the crush.
The official flgura given for the max
imum velocity of -the gale was 58 miles an
hour, but in the outlying districts the
wind attained a speed much greater. On
all sides of the city barns and sheds were
unroofed and many of them blown down.
In parts of South Chicago the gale blew
fences across the street faster than the
police and force of firemen could clear
them away. The plant of the Chicago
Brewing Company, at 100th street and
Calumet River, was severely damaged, a
large portion of the siding on the west
of the building being stripped off.
At Eighty-fourth Place and Bond ave
nue, a newly completed frame building,
in which a number of men were working,
was blown down and the men were all
imprisoned in the debris. They were re
leased by firemen and all escaped with
slight injuries. The damage to trees and
shrubbery in the parks and suburbs was
heavy, and shade trees in all sections of
the city were leveled to the ground.
The gale was preceded by a heavy rain
fall. 1.14 inches falling within three hours.
During the greater part of the afternoon
the wind blew at 55 miles' an hour, but
by evening It had sunk to 36 miles, and
the weather was rapidly becoming colder.
WAS ALMOST CENTENARIAN
Mrs. Nancy Harpole, Pioneer of
1841, Dead in Marion County.
GERVAIS. Or.. Nov. 2L fSpeciaJ.) Mrs.
Nancy Harpole, aged 98 years, died at her
home near Brooks yesterday morning, af
ter an illness of some length. Death was
hastened by a recent paralytic etroke.
She was probably the oldest resident of
Marlon County, and had she lived until
February would have been 99 years old.
Mrs. Harpole crossed the plains in 1841.
Her place of nativity was Kentucky and
she came to Oregon from Illinois, where
she married William Harpole in 1829. A
large family of children were born of
the union, many of whom still survive
and are scattered over the state.
Mr. Harpole was a prominent man of
Oregon in the early days, and represented
the Champoeg country, now Marion Coun
ty, in the territorial legislature in 1855 and
1S56. He died suddenly in May, 1862, while
making a canvass for re-election to the
legislature. He was much respected in
the community.
Until lately Mrs. Harpole had retained
her faculties to a wonderful degree, and
was prone to talk about old times and give
pioneer reminiscences.
The Harpoles settled on a donation land
claim on French Prairie, and it was on
this same farm that the aged widow died.
The funeral is set for tomorrow after
noon from the former home of the de

Catarrh cannot be washed away with sprays, inhalations and such treat
ment, nor ran it be smoked out with medicated tobacco, cigarettes, etc.
When you attempt to cure Catarrh with such things you are wasting time
and allowing the impurities and poisons in the blood, which produce the
disease, to get so firmly rooted as to become not only a disgusting trouble,
but a very dangerous one. Theannoyfng symptoms of ringing noises in the
ears, "hawking and spitting," headaches, mucus dropping back into the
throat, impairment to the senses of taste and smell, and a feeling of general
debility, prove that there is a deep-seated cause for Catarrh. This cause is
a polluted and unhealthy condition of the blood, and the disease cannot be
cured until this is removed. The only way to get rid of Catarrh permanently
is to purify the blood, and S. S. S. is the ideal remedy for this purpose. It
soon clears the system of all impurities, purges the blood of all catarrhal
matter and poisons, and effectually checks the progress of this disgusting
and fax-reaching disease. S. S. S. puts the blood in perfect order, and as
this pure, healthy blood goes to every nook and corner of the body Catarrh
is permanently cured. Book with information about Catarrh and medical
advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, CA,
