Proposals to install machinery in the ; new steel bull of the dredge Columbia, which were opened yesterday by the ; Port of Portland Commission, were so I numerous and complicated that no de ' rlsion was reached.

Commissioners Fred Pen- ilton, Captain J. V. Shaver and It. I. I nman were named to take charge of a dozen bids on rubber dredge sleeves - and report at tomorrow's meeting. : Some of the proposals were for the entire lot of three-foot and fH'e-foot ' rleeves, others wore for each sleeve '. and still others were on each running foot. Because of an accident at the public rtrydock yesterday, when pontoon No, ; 3 tilled and sank as the UnMed States ! dredge Chinook was bcinjr lifted, Com , jnissioner Innian, who presided In the , Absence of S. M. Mears, delegated Cap' tains Shaver and Speur-er to act with Captain H. T. Groves, superintendent of dredging, in taking immediate steps t.ns morning to right the pontoon and raise It for repairs. The pontoon had hardly taken the bright or the btg bar dredge when It tilted to the north and went down. The Chinook, whirh was on the keel blocks, was haulod into the stream at once. Drlar la 1rohnhlr. As all five pontoons are required to lift the Chinook, the prospects are that rhe will bo delayed somewhat, but - until an examination in made today. It will not be known what repairs will have to be made to the pontoon. The matter of repairing tho pontoon was taken up last Fall, but it waf t'cemed such an expensive job. if : Awarded on bids, that It was thought . Vest to wait until Spring and have the Port of Portland force do the work. The assumption is that certain seams opened above the customary water line find that more water was takn in than needed to i-ink the section. At yesterday's meeting an arrange ment was entered Into with the Tacoma J'redgfng Company, whih has the pipe line and pontoons of the dredce Port t land under lease, for use at Astoria in . making a till, so that the property wiy f fully rovered by marine insurance while In that service.

Entire Staff or Great Portland Firm, 2000 in Nnmber, Will Partici pate, in Commemorating Progress of Work. Lincoln's birthday has been selected by the Meier & Frank Company for the first public demonstration of the prog ress of the work on its new 14-story building, now beinff erected at Fifth, Morrison and Alder streets. The massive steel construction work is finished, and this Important event in building operations Avill be fittingly commemorated by the unfurling and hoistincr of two immense new American flairs which will wave more than 200 feet above the street. A programme for the flag-raising has been arranged. The entire staff, 2000 employes, of the Meier & Frank Coni nanv have planned to participate. They will assemble at 8:30 o'clock Friday morning in front of the new building on Fifih street, where an address will be given by Tom Richardson. Julius U. Meier, vice-president and general manager of the Meier & Frank Company, in speaking of the matter, said: "It is a source of keen delight to us to be able to celebrate the completion of the steel framework on so auspicious a day as February 12. There is some thing strangely akin in commemorating the birth of that tower of strength Lincoln and the completion of the bone and sinew of our new buildrng. Our aim and ambition is that the new building will be as symbolical of Fort land's future prosperity and greatness as Lincoln's life is of the Nation's that honors him on that day. "Surrounded by our employes, each of whom has a deep personal interest in this great undertaking, and with this tangible evidence of the near-realization of our plans, we shall feel that our work is well under way. though many weeks of hard work and minute plan ning of detail is yet before us. But In building this great store we feel that, like Lincoln, we are building for the future for the greater and better Port land thai is now in the making." Murine Notes. Laden with wheat for some port in the United Kingdom, the Cambusken neth got under way yesterday in tow of the steamer Ocklahama. The Btrtha was slated to depart with the Ockla hama today, but the fact that she lacks a few of her crew may detain her. ' The Wiscombe Park, which was shifted from Linnton to Irving dock, starts working wheat today. "Captain" Bob Mcintosh yesterday was awarded a contract to redecfc the Norwegian bark Moma. It Is estimated that about two-thirds of her deck will have to be replaced. Last of the wheat cargo of the Brit ish bark Kllmeny went aboard yester day at the North Bank dock, and she will leave for sea in a few days. The vessel was given good dispatch, as she arrived in the river January 29 from Coquimbo. Having discharged inward cargo from California at the Couch-street dock, the steamer Celilo left the har bor last night for St. Helens to take on 900,000 feet of lumber for San Pedro. The steamer Daisy was cleared for San Francisco with 200,000 feet of lumber from here. The steamer Multnomah sailed from St. Helens for Calilornla ports with passengers and a full cargo of lumber. She is to leave the river today with the hull of the new steamer Wapama in tow. Kobert Warrack. inspector of the 17"th lighthouse district, departed yes terday for Puget Sound to inspect navi gation aids.

Storm warnings raised Monday night, because of a blow that was making its wav up the coast, were lowered at 'I A. M. yesterday, the Oregon and Wash ington coast having escaped further trouble. After being delayed off the river alT of Monday because of the storm out side, the Grace liner Santa Cecilia, with 160) tons of New York cargo, crossed In at 7 a. M. yesterday and proceeded here, berthing at Municipal Dock No. 1. Coming to load a cargo of lumber for the Pearl Harbor drydock, the steamer O. M. Clark arrived last night. She Is on her first voyage since last Fall, having been out of commission at San Francisco. While on the way up the coast, the steamer Celilo v received a 10-lnch hawser from tbe steamer Klamath, which had started to tow the hull of the Wapama. but the hawser parted off Tillamook.

In a recent statement she said: "My son has smoked cigarettes for years and I was sure it waa hurting him.

To S oz. of water add 20 grains of muriate of ammonia, a small box of Varlex Com pound and 18 grains of pepsin. I gave a teaspoonful to him throe times a day secretly in his coffee or food.

(.;. B.

"Not for 20 years has there been shown any material change," said Mr. Hegardt. "The enrockment will not wsh out, but simply settles to some extent in the deeper water. In such cases, when the enrockment is 60 to 60 feet high and the base has a width of 200 to -50 feet, the slopes on the sides are gentle, and while the sea might dislodge a nock or two, it is given a severe test while under construction. It is no longer necessary to control the currents there as nt first, as the flow has been trained and the channel established, and though lowered tho enrockment has sufficient influence."
