RIVER AND HARBOR WORK
OREGOJT IMPROVEMENTS REPORT
ED BY MAJOR. IAJGFITT.
Satisfactory Progrress Towards Deep
er Cb&zmel at Month, of Colnm-
61b Otier Operations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. According to
tbe report of Major Lansfitt, in charge
of the Improvement at the mouth of the
Columbia River and other parts of Ore
con, & srood start has been made with the
preparatory work, looking- to a deeper
channel at the mouth of the river. In
his August report he says that there yet
remains $197,530 for continuing this work.
Ihxring that month repairs to- the Jetty
tracks commenced at the shore end and
at the end of the month the old caps and
strinsers had been Temoved for a dis
tance of 4103 feet. For most of this dis
tance the old piles have been sawed off
to the new grade near high-water mark.
Those that were decayed were recapped
for a distance' of 3404 feet, and for 2490
Jeet the decayed piles were removed. The
"best of the Jetty, rails are being used in
relaying one track, and 2310 feet of this
have been completed, It being Intended to
replace these Tails witb new ones when
they arrive from the East. The delivery
of lumber for the tramway repairs has
been slow, and accounts for the non
completion of the double track. Seven
hundred tons of -40-pound rails have al
ready been shipped, and a few carloads
received. Three fiatcars have been re
built and work of constructing others is
xmder way. Locomotive No. 5 has been
given a thorough overhauling. . Many of
the old buildings have been reshlngled,
and the foundation of the roundhouse and
office building strengthened by putting in
new posts. The old blacksmith shop has
been moved away front the other buildings
and made into an oil house, and an old
one-story roundhouse has been moved
close up to the commissary building for
the storage of iron, nails and spikes. The
coal bunkers have been reconstructed and
made ready for use.
A shed and short sidetrack were built
for the storage and seasoning of lumber
to be used for repairs and the building of
new piledrivers, floats and dumpcars. and
platforms were put in for the convenient
handling of this material. The old pile
driver has been nearly dismantled for re
building. Temporary storage plat
forms for lumber and rails were
built near the mortar battery, giving an
Approximate area of 6000 square feet for
this purpose. During September this
work of preparation was continued and
the Jetty and railroad tracks repaired,
and a track connecting with the Astoria
& Columbia River Railroad built. A shop
will be put In order for rebuilding dump
cars and floats and repairing the locomo
tives. As soon as the right kind of lum
ber Is received work will commence on
the rebuilding of the piledrivers, as well
es Jetty repairs.
Columbia Belotr Tongnxe Point.
Bids for removing 12,500 cubic yards
of rock from the Sylvia de Grasse reef
and dredging 329,500 -yards of material for
the improvement at this point were
opened on August 27. Four bids were
received. The lowest bid for section A,
Including 22,500 yards of rock and 4500
yards of dredging, was at the rate of
$19 "95 and S3 cents respectively. The total
bids were $253,650. The lowest bid for
section B, S25,000 yards of dredging, was
fiO cents per yard, making a total of
tlS5;OO0 for section B. The amount avail
able for the whole work is approximately
tuo.000. Including engineer and office ex
penses, aad It was recommended that the j
bids be rejected and the work deferred.
No work is contemplated unless a con
tract is made for rock excavation and
dredging. Nothing of this sort has yet
been done, and it is not likely, in face of
tho adverse recommendation, that such
action will be taken at this time.
Willamette and Ixvrrer Columbia.
The dredge at Pillar Rock operated
throughout the month, and succeeded in
obtaining a minimum depth in the chan
nel of 22 feet at low water. It required
the excavation of 54,142 cubic yards of ma
terial during the month to secure this
depth. There is an available balance of
5105,939 for improving these two rivers be
low Portland. The available balance, for
the upper Willamette and Yamhill Rivers
is 5472L The construction and repair of
dams in the Willamette between Salem
and Ash Island continued. Dams at Lam
bert's Point were completed, and work
was then begun on the dam at Eldrldge
bar.
IiCvrls and Other Rivers:
The available balance for Lewis River
is $5453. Work was continued on Crowley
barJ Considerable dyke work and en
rockment has now been completed in this
river, but it is believed to obtain bene
ficial results It will be necessary to ex
tend the dyke some 200 feet further, but
this will not be done unless the usual
Fall freshets should prove its extension
advisable.
The balance on hand for the Clatskanle
River is $12,865. No work was done there
in August, but advertisements have been
issued and a contract will soon be let for
dredging.
The balance on hand for the Cowlitz
is but $595. No work was done there or is
contemplated. During the month a com
plaint was made that certain parties
had started'large rafts down stream, and
owing to the low stage of the water, they
had proven impassible barriers. When
the matter was called to the attention
of Major Langfltt,' he notified the parties
owning the rafts that the logs must be
removed. This was done, and no further
complaint has been heard.
FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
. The selfishness exhibited in the building
of smoking or library cars for the use of
men Is hardly selfishness, after all; it's
merely a case of evolution, these products
being so many finger posts leading up to
the strictly modern electric-lighted obser
vation car, such as is run by the Northern
Pacific on the "North Coast Limited"
daily from Portland to the "East We have,
10 of these trains, composed of eight cars
each, and by actual count there are 291
electric lights on the train, 54 in the ob
servation car alone. Just think! what
a blaze of light! It is so in all the cars.
Two electric lights in each section in the
standard sleeper. Electric fans in both
the observation and dining cars for ven
tilation purposes. They keep the air in
these cars pure and sweet. Tou are not
charged any more for riding on this train
than you are on the ordinary trains. The
tourist sleeper in this train has 16 sec
tions. The car is finished in mahogany,
upholstered in dark green leather, with
isles carpeted. This car will prove a
source of delight and surprise to those
who feel " that they cannot afford the
luxuries of the first-class Pullman sleep
er. E
If you are thinking of going East, we
would like to have you inspect this train
and call 6n us for' any additional in
formation wanted rates, routes, maps,
tickets, sleeping-car reservations, etc.

Fruit Industries, America Leads.
Pearson's Magazine.
It Is an established fact that the United
States now holds tho record for rapid
development of fruit Industries, such as
the growing of oranges and lemons,
peaches and grapes. As a nation we eat
more fruit than any other, and grow con
siderably more than we eat. Eighty mil
lions of dollars a year Is the figure for
strawberries alone. A hundred millions
would scarcely cover the value of all the
grapes marketed. Peaches we raise In as
tonishing quantities, in orchards contain
ing as many as 300,000 trees, but our ban
ner crop, so far as fruit Is concerned, is
apples. We have produced as many as
210,000,000 barrels In a single season, and
have sold as high as 3,000,000 barrels to
England alone. Ships weigh anchor in
New Tork. three at a time, in a single
week, bearing apples to Europe. Indeed,
it Is one of the greatest industries the
country has ever witnessed, and promises
to take rank a3 the chief fruit crop ot
the world.
