The Story With a Point
All the machinery in
a large factory stop

day. Not a sinjrle
mechanic in the
place could discover
what the trouble
was. A wire was
sent to an expert in
a nearby city. He
came on first train.
In the meantime
several acres of ma
chinery and a few
thousand men were
idle. The expert
arrived. He brought
with him a little tool
bag. From it he
took, a monkey
wrench and went to
the engine-room.
He started at the
boiler and tapped
the main steam pipe
with the wrench for
a distance of 15 feet.
There he stopped.
No one knew why.
But the expert's
practiced ear had lo

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 24. If a river and harbor
bill Is framed this session. Representa
tive Hawley will endeavor to secure the
adoption of a provision approving the
new Tillamook Bay project and appro
priating $200,000 to begin construction,
as has been recommended by the Army
Engineers and Secretary of War. The
SDDroved project calls for a total ex
penditure of $814,000, half of whloh Is
to be borne by the Federal Government
and half by the local community, so
that If Congress appropriates izoo.ovo
this session, an additional appropria
tion next year of $207,000 will meet
the Government's obligation, and the
other $407,000 will be raised by the
Port of Tillamook and the Port of
Bay City.
The report of the Army Engineers,
recommending an $814,000 Tillamook
Droject. has just been printed, as
document, and this document shows
how close this project came to aban
donment.
Original Project Modified.
When the tlrst survey and estimate
was made In 1910 the people of Tilla
mook Bay and vicinity were asking
for a 20-foot channel across the bar
at the entrance to the bay, a 16-foot
channel to Bay City, and a 14-foot
channel to Tiilnmook City, with a
straightening of the channel of
Hoouarten Slough. The board, con
sisting of Colonel John Biddle. Major
Jay J. Morrow and Major c w. nuts,
submitted a plan to carry out these
ideas. They found that a north Jetty
6700 feet lung would cost $a58.015; a
south Jetty 7300 feet long would cOBt
$1,331,680. and dredging and channel
work would bring the cost up to $2,
206.000, and that $20,000 would be re
quired annually to maintain the chan
nels within the bay. In submlttir
these estimates, the board said:
"Much of this work is not essential
to the commercial development of Tilla
mook Bay. It Is believed that deep
water across the bar and a channel of
good depth to some point within the
bay, reasonably close to the entrance,
would provide all necessary facilities
for marketing the great lumber re
sources which are tributary to the bay.
Further. It Is believed thht the proposed
straightening and deepening of Ho
quarten Slough would not result In
benefits commensurate with the cost,
as even were this work accomplished
mills for lumber manufacture would
locate below the slough. The board Is
therefore of opinion that it is not ad
visable for the United States to under
take the Improvement of Hoquarten
Slough or of the channel between Ho
quarten Slough and Bay City, either
wholly or partly at the expense of the
United States, beyond the scope of the
existing project, which provides for a
depth of nine feet at Jiigh water
through these channels."
New Proposal Submitted.
Accordingly the estimates were re
vised, and a project costing $1,744,000
was substituted, contemplating the two
jetties, and a limited amount of dredg
ing. Bay City offered to contribute
J2O0.000 ' towards this work, but the
port -of Tillamook held out because It
was demanding a deeper channel. The
engineers did not believe a deeper
channel was necessary, and held that
the whole thing be held up until the
ports of Bay City and Tillamook could
reconsider. This was done, and In a
report dated June 14. 1911. Major Mor
row reported that a new proposition
had been received from the interested
localities, conditioned upon a further
revision of the projeot. He then said:
"It is the belief of this office that
the construction of the north Jetty, if
entirely built within two years from
the time of starting, and to the section
recommended by the special board, will
give quick results and to some extent
lasting results on the bar, and that
after its completion the necessity for
the south Jetty will not appear for
some considerable period, possibly not
until the section Is considerably modi
tied by the seas. It is believed that
the north jetty should be constructed
first."
The matter then was referred to the
River and Harbor Board of Engineers,
and under date of August 1, 1911, they
made their final report, which' has been
approved by the Chief of Engineers and
Secretary of War. In this report they
said:
"The matter has now taken shape In
a proposition presented through and
recommended by the district officer, for
a partial execution of the project up to
Bay City, on the basis of the locality
paying one-half of the cost. It Is
proposed to dredge the channel to Bay
City as originally contemplated, and to
construct the north Jetty only, leaving
the question of the necessity for the
south Jetty to be determined in the fu
ture. The district o'fficer expresses the
opinion that one jetty would produce
good results, and to some extent last
ing ones, and that the necessity for
kjck, however. The
result was worth the
charge, but he could
not understand how
any man could have
nerve enough t o
charge $50.50 for 5
minutes ' work.
He didn't under
stand what the odd
amount of 50 cents
could be for. He
paid the bill with a
check and asked the
expert why he had
not made it an even
$50. The machinist
replied: "I have
charged yon 50 cents
for fixing the thing.
The $50 is for know
ing how."

the second Jetty will not appear for

for the work now proposed is $814,000,
of which amount the localities propose
to pay one-half. The division engineer
concurs In recommending this project,
largely on account of the willingness
of the locality to contribute liberally
toward Its cost."
Want Beautiful Hair?

"The reason so many women have
dull, brittle, stringy hair hair' that
splits at the ends, fades and falls out
Is because of employing, alkali sham
poos. This robs the hair sacs of their
required oil and causes brittleness of
the hair and profuse dandruff," writes
Mrs. Mae Martyn in the New York
Dally Record. '
"An Inexpensive and really delight
ful shampoo can be had by getting a
small package of canthrox from the
druggist and dissolving a teaspoonful
In a cup of hot water. This mixture
should be poured slowly on the scalp
and rubbed up well. The canthrox cre
ates a thick, white lather that cleanses,
soothes and invigorates. After rinsing,
the scalp is left clean and pliant, while
the hair is fluffy, silky and easy to
do up." Adv.

The Countess had every reason to hate
her daughter-in-law because, after all,
when Lord Urshott married her, she
had been an inmate of a western dance
hall. But granting that, did the Coun

her a strange, mysterious control learned
in India, and did this control compel
Lady Urshott to be so solicitous about
the fate of the White Cockatoo that it
led to her death ? And, if so, was the
Countess responsible ?
