To provide an entrance to the Wll
lamette River 1S00 feet wide. -S feet

mouth at least three-quarters or a mile,
Captain Groves, superintendent of tha
Tort of Portland channel Improvements.
will order the dredge Columbia to the
1-cctlon of the Willamette and Colum
bla next week. It is estimated that fire
weeks will be required to make the cut.
"whic h will mark the first time that the
entire mouth has been cleared out and
It la follr expected that the work will
he permanent, necessitating only
small amount of "cleaning up" each
seajion.
The month of the Willamette baa
trlven pilots and river masters frequent
trouble and it was only a few months
ico that the oil-tank ateamer Kose
rrans ploughed into the dredge Port
land there because of limited space in
which to maneuver In entering the Wll
hiinette. The channel at present Is
about 44 feet wide, while the river-bed
on each side slopes upward so that
some of the material to be removed Is
l-'SS than three feet from the surface.
In addition the formation Is largely
rtay. which means hard dredging and
plenty of work for the cutters.
Arrangements have been made by
Captain (irov.s through which all ma
terlal taken out will be pumped into
a elouich on --uvles Island, so that no
part of the dbrls will wash again Into
th stream. Men are now engaged In
placing tlte pipe line and as soon
the Columbia finishes work a short dis
tance below Pwan Inland, and above
the North Bank bridge, she will be
shifted.

I'lRK OX FALCON MBDIXD
Ve-I Rent-tip Port After Thought
Doomed by frames.
Second of the American-Hawaiian
fleet to have a fire at sea. the stenmerj
r a icon arrived up last evening alter a
perilous trip along the Oregon coast,
when conditions became so alarming
that the proposal was made to taite to
the boats, but Mrs. Schage. wife of the
skipper, probably averted that step by
her refusal to take chances of drown
ing, aaylng she preferred death by fire.
Recently the freighter Alaskan was
afire.
Wireless messages received late Mon
day night reported that the Falcon was
off the coast with fire raging In her
forward hold, where it was discovered
at o'clock, but the origin was un
known. The flames appeared to gain
headway despite efforts made to ex
tinguish thein, so the hatchea were
ordered battened down and the steamer
was raced for the Columbia River,
which she entered at S:30 o'clock yes
terday morning.
She steanied to an anchorage off As
toria and after two hours' work the
hold ws flooded and the fire subdued.
The vessel left up for Portland at noon
and she wlil remain here for a few
days. Apparency she sustained little
damage, but the cargo In the forward
hold, being of a perishable character.
Is probably a total Irss. The Falcon Is
operated between Portland and San
Francisco In connection with big car
riers running between New York and
San Francisco.

Navigation south of Mission Landing
to points on the I'pper Willamette as
far as Wllsonvllle, will be resumed to
day by the Yellow Stack Line and be
ginning tomorrow the steamer Pomona
will start en her old schedule to Cor
vallls. The sternwheelers have not plied
on the upper reachis of the stream this
season and last year they were oper
ated to Cprvallis a week earlier.
Practically from the mouth of the
Yamhill River to the head of navigation
fretKht has accumulated to such an ex
tent that a number of trips will be re
quired to relieve the situation. Quanti
ties of hay. amounting to SO toes and
more at some landing, have been stored
since harvest, though most of the
ranchers, whose places were so situated
that they couid haul produce to rail
lines not too far distant, saved their
crops with little additional expense.
Ttie only fear of steamboats now Is
that the Fall rains will continue wltli
such vigor to offset 'the dry Summer
period, that a frtshet ja-ill follow of
such strength as to force another sus
pension of service. .
