Depth of water in the Willamette River between the southernmost harbor limits and where the stream Joins the Columbia River will be certified to by the United States Government as means of supporting the facts shown in -the Port of Portland survey, which indicates a minimum depth of SO feet. Major Henry C. Jewett, Corps of En gineers, U. S. A.. In charge of the Fed eral improvement project from Port land to the sea. met with the Port of Portland Commission yesterday after noon and assured the members that when the tug Geo. H. Mendell is avail able in a few weeks, she being now overhauled, he would undertake the survey. "We have slightly more than 30 feet in the main road, and in one place near Gillihan's, close to the mouth of the Willamette, we are widening the cut. and in order that there shall be no question as to the situation. It is de sirable that the Government make a survey that will be official," said E. W. Wright, general manager of the port. Captain W. H. Patterson, of the com mission, who is engaged in handling tankers of the Associated Oil Com pany's fleet, said while there was no question as to the depth, a Federal chart showing the fact was most con vincing to many outsiders. Major Jewett took up with the com mission also the matter of either re pairing a dyke at the head of Hayden's Island, in the Columbia, so as to pre vent sediment being deposited in North Portland harbor during low water peri ods, or its removal so that the current might have free sway through the har bor, which he felt certain would lessen deposits. To raise the dyke from 4 feet to 20 feet, as some had proposed, would, he said, require an act of Congress, and he regarded euch a step as imprac ticable because freshet waters flow ing over the dyke would carry great quantities of material into the chan nel. As to the channel on the Van couver side, he said, a survey finished a few days ago showed it has 20 feet. Recommendation concerning future action regarding the Hayden Island dyke was left to the Port of Portland. Major Jewett expressing himself as willing to be guided by those Inter ested as to whether he would ask for authority to make repairs in the break, which covers 120 feet, leave it as it is, or move for its abandonment.
