DREDGE TUSK URGE
West Side- Channel to Be
Cleared for East Side Fill.
TWO BIG MACHINES' USED
One Dredge Will Send Sand Half
"Way and Other Will Then Boost
It Along: to Fill Lake Back
of Albina Shops.
To pump sediment from the area
at retching: from Mersey dock to the
Crown mill, on the "West STcle, to a
small lake in the rear of the Albina
shops of the Oregon-Washington Rail
road & Navigation Company, is a pro
posal to be submitted to the Port of
Portland Commission at a special meet
ing this afternoon. The task will en
tail the utilization of two of the 30
inch dredges, probably the Tualatin
and Willamette, one to actually dig and
start the material through the pipe
line and the other to be stationed mid
way to the point of deposit, and assist
as a relay or booster dredge.
ix is assumed mat ine lowest low
"water stage has been reached for the
present this season. Requests have been
made by dock owners along that stretch
for additional work in the way of
clearing away ecdiment deposited by
freshets. The Pacific Coast Coal Com
pany is building a new coal bunkering
and storage plant, while Mersey dock
contains much wheat and flour stored
for the Crown mill. So it is felt there
.-vill be an early movement of the ce
real in large vessels, and no doubt the
tame type wi U go to the bunkers for
furl at times, hence the dredging is
held to be urgent now.
To impress into tht work two of
the large dredges will leave the Port
with the dredge Columbia, of the same
.size, on the idle list, as such an amount
of floating and shore pipe line will be
necessary that the total remaining will
be insufficient in length for any jobs,
unless only an unusually short pipe
line will be necessary. The Portland,
smallest of the fleet, will continue in
service.
At today's meeting the Commission
will no doubt take up the question of
either withdrawing the pilot schooner
Joseph Pulitzer from the fishing trade,
in which she now operates under a
sratuitous lease to the City of Port
land, or obtaining another boat that
tan be operated as a pilot vessel at
i he entrance to the Columbia River.
"When the matter was up recently it
was agreed that the Pulitzer could
make at least one more trip outside
and. as she is now back in the harbor,
a decision is expected.

Acquiescence of the Willamette Iron
& Steel Works to a wish of the Emer

Dr. F. .M. Brooks, for eight years a

with offices in the Oregonian building,
received official notification yesterday
that he had been granted a commis
sion as Captain in the Medical Corps.
The "Washington dispatch ins ructed

fairs, he has asked for a leave of ab
sence until November 1, but has not
yet received a reply.
It is understood that Dr. Brooks de
termination to enter the service was
prompted by the death of hts son,
Sergeant-Major Irwin G. Brooks, who
died at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, last
December.

NEW YORK. OcL 2 Many mixed changes
were registered during tuOav'a erratic and

Aside from the tenor of foreign dis
patches, there was Utile In the dav'B de-

war stocks, other than that such a cune

l'ublic participation was slight. Judging
from the Inactivity of communion houses,

United states Steel was again under fire,
re-acting migiuly ever a point, but retriev

war share, notably Hethlehem Steel. Bald
win Locomotive and half a score others en -guced
in the manufacture of munitions and
ordnance, added one to thr points to re
cent reversals.
RaKs failed to bear out their prwwts of
the previua day, denoting moderate heavi
ness after an early demount rat Ion of
strength by Union Pacific and Heading. Low
priced rails, a feature of the early week,
were dull and little changed.
