The Port of Portland will proceed
Immediately with the construction of
permanent controlling work In the
Columbia river channel at Morgan's
bar. just below the mouth of the Wil
lamette, It was determined at a meet
ing of the port commission yesterday
afternoon. The work planned will
consist of widening the ship channel
In the Columbia at this point from 300
to 500 feet and building three wing
dams to project into the stream from
the Washington shore. These wing
vflams or dlkou'wlll bo respectively
1975, 700 and 905 feet In length, and
It Is estimated that the entire cost of
the Improvement will be lu the neigh
borhood of 150.000.
Tho new work at Morgan's bar will
be a companion piece to the 1200
1 foot dike recently completed at the
Tnouth'of the Willamette by the port
commission, and the two improve
ments are expected to work together
in preventing the annual shoaling of
the river at these critical points dur
ing the summer freshet. A similar
Improvement Is being made by the
United States engineers at Willow
bar, farther down the river. These
three projects constitute tha first
serious attempt by the authorities to
(substitute permanent controlling
works for the expensive dredging
which must be repeated every year.
3.'-Foot Channel Step Token.
The djktirg of the Columbia to make
It 'maintain its own channel is also
the first step toward a 35-foot channel
from Portland to the sea. An in
crease in the projected width and
depth of the channel In the Columbia
river is being held in abeyance by the
United States board of engineers to
await demonstration that an improved
channel can be maintained.
A tentative arrangement was made
some time ago between the United
States engineers and the Port of Port
land whereby this improvement at
Morgan's bar was to be made by the
port in exchange for a similar im
provement at Willow bar, but becaus
funds are not available at present for
the performance of this work by the
United States engineers, "the port
commission decided to lo the work
at Morgan's bar anyhow. I
James H. Polhemus. chief engineer
and general manager of the port,
was authorized by the commission to
design and proceed to build a pile
driver and to purchase a dipper
dredge and bucket dredge for use
whenever needed in port work.
llrnrlrl nor to Be Diked.
Tha president and manager of the
port commission were authorized yes
terday to work out an agreement with
Major Richard Park, district United
States engineer, for diking by the
government forces of Henricl bar in
lieu of dredging work owed to the
port of the government.
The port commission at yesterday's
meeting executed a contract with the
Inman-Poulsen Lumber company for
dredging of the channel In the Wil
lamette river to and along the face of
a new dock which Is t be built by
the lumber company. The Inman
Poulsen Lumber company, under the
terms of this agreement, is to extend
its present dock 40 feet Into the
stream to bring its face to the harbor
line, and is also to build a new dock
on the harbor line and extending. 350
feet upstream from the end of the
present dock. The lumber company
guarantees to have all its construc
tion work completed ' within 10
months. The actual dredging, all of
' which is in the main channel, will be
dona at the expense of the port, but
the lumber company will bear all the
expense of shore work..
Contract for Filling Signed.
Another important contract exe
cuted by the port commission yester
day was with tha Northern Pacific
Terminal company for filling of the
site selected lor the proposed new
union railroad terminal. The port
is to move about 1,000,000 cubic yards
of material from the bed of the river
on the west side of Swan Island and
deposit It upon trie terminal site, in
exchange for the payment by the ter
minal company of JS0. 000.
If a movement which was started
yesterday by the port and dock com
missions works out to the expected
conclusion, the new 15,000 ton float
ing drydock recently completed by
the commission of public docks will
be taken over by. the port commission,
which owns the old drydock and tha
berth of the new one, and operates
both. Under the divided authority over
the two docks by the two commis
sions, much confusion is anticipated
in the matters of insurance and lia
bility, and H is desired to bring the
ownership of both docks, as well as
their management, under one head.
As the proposal has been outlined,
the port commission will take title to
the new drydock and assume a. pro
portionate amount of the bonds of
the dock commission. With the bonds
goes the tax levy to retire them.
Consolidation Mar Result.
Commissioners Thompson, Corbett,
Metschan and Porter were appointed
by the port commission to confer
with the operating committee of tha
dock commission to work out the de
tails of the transaction, and the
opinion was freely , expressed that
them negotiations may "start the ball
rolling" toward the eventual' com
plete consolidation of the commis
sions.
Frank M. Warren, president of the
port commission, was designated by
the commission to represent that body
at a meeting In Ban Francisco, Jan
uary 20, at which a proposal to com
bine all American trans-Pacific ship
Pins under the management of a""30,
000,000 combine will be considered.
Mr. Warren will be accompanied by
I H. L. Hudson, manager of the traffic
bureaus of the port and dock com
missions, In an advisory capacity.
A memorandum from the Chamber
of Commerce, urging the necessity of

DRY AGENTS ENDEAVOR - TO
i TRACE SHIPMENTS.
Many Vessels Calling: at San Fran

- Cargoes "In Storms."
SAN , FRANCISCO. Jan. '1. (Spe
cial.) -Prohibition agents are'endeav
orlng to trace shipments o( thousands
of cases of British llauor shipped to
Canada, which then are smuggled Into
the United States. Nearly every ves
sel from England bound for British
Columbia, which calls at San Fran
cisco has considerable quantities of
liquor aboard.
Thousands of cases were on the
Merchant, which stopped over here
while en route from Liverpool to
British Columbia. The shipments are
many times what they were before
prohibition became effective and more
than enough, according to the au
thorities, to keep everyone in British
Columbia comfortably drunk all the
time.
'The liquor comes into the United
States in lots of from 400 to 2000
cases in small vessels," said W. H.
Tldwell. special agent of the treasury
department. "It is taken from Can
ada supposedly for Mexicov but nine
tenths of It never arrlveshere, being
thrown overboard 'in a storm." The
liquor was nevar designed for its
ostensible destination Ensenada."
Liquor .dealers who have made a
practice of shipping whisky from
England to Mexico have ceased busi
ness because the country Is flooded.
If a s-hipment does get to Ensenada
from British- Columbia, It eventually
gets over the border into California
or Arizona,"
