Government Engineers Find 20
Feet at Low Water.
SURVEY IS NOW COMPLETE
Assistant Engineer Polbemns Re
turns From Coos Bay and Oo
quille Jetty Work Under Way
at the Latter Place.
, J. S. Polhemus, assistant United States
engineer officer, returned yesterday from
Coos Bay and Coquille. where he has been
engaged in surveying the tars and har
bors of those places. The engineers re
port 20 feet of water on the Coos Bay
bar and 13 feet on the bar at Coquille.
The depth of water on the Coos Bay bar
Is better than was anticipated and as
sures the people of that district a euro
and safe, outlet for their products.
The engineers surveyed the Coos Bay
bar and tne bay as for as North Bend.
Barring a few shoals, which can be easily
removed, there Is a good depth of water.
On the Coquille River bar the depth at
lowest low water Is 13 feet. This is also
much better than was anticipated. "Wil
liam Jacohsen, of the firm of Wakefield,
Jacobscn & Co., who has the contract for
the completion of the stonework on the
Coquille Jetty, has opened the quarry and
the delivery of stone will begin Immedi
ately. There Is yet 300 feet to complete
and the contractor has agreed to finish
the Job In one year.
Coos Bay country Is, at present, one of
the most prosperous sections on the
Coast. C. A. Smith, representing large
lumber interests, has about completed the
erection of a sawmill which will' cut 700,000
feet of timber dally. Mr. Smith has also
under construction, a steamer which will
operate on the Coast between Portland.
Coos Bay and San Francisco. The new
vessel will draw 18 feet and will be
equipped for the easy and rapid handling
of 2,500,000 feet of lumber. The, craft Is
now building at Newport News and will
be ready to enter the coasting trade by
the first of the year. The vessel will be
used exclusively for lumber and will not
engage In the regular traffic.
"Building in the Coos Bay country Is re
markable, and there are no Inflated values
either," said J. L. Bowman, a clothing
dealer of Portland yesterday. "Portland
Is the natural market for the country and
the products of that country should come
here. I have such faith In the future of
Coos County that my father-in-law and
myself are putting up a ' building in
Marshfleld which will be modern through
out and will have a tendency to reduce
the Insurance charges' materially In that
section."
Mr: Bowman says that the business
which formerly went to San Francisco,
can easily be diverted to Portland. Mer
chants find that they can deal better In
Portland than In any other Coast city.
FIREBOAT PILOT DISQUALIFIED
Civil Service Commission Finds That
Captain Reeves Is Incompetent.
Captain Harry Reeves, temporary pilot
on the f ireboat Geonge H. Williams, has
been disqualified by the Civil Service
Commission on account of physical dis
ability. Pllot Reeves has been succeeded
by Captain Wolfe.
The rejected pilot of the fireboat Is one
of the ablest men on the river. He has
been in service on river steamers for
many years and has never met with a
seriouB accident. The action of the Civil
Service Board Is condemned by all river
men In no mild terms. When the Fed
eral Government grants a license to a
man to act In the capacity of master or
pilot, physical condition Is secondary to
mental requirements and a man who Is
able to stand the tests in navigation is
awarded a license.
Since the fireboat was placed In com
mission there has been constant friction
between the fireman and the master and
pilot. Engineers have also had trouble.
Men holding marine licences are respon
sible to the Government Inspectors and
by taking ordors from landsmen they
would Jeopardize their standing. In
May the fireboat was Incapacitated on
account of the Inability of the city to se
cure engineers.
Captain E. S. Edwards, United States
Inspector, and Captain Archie Pease,
secretary of the Columbia River Pilots,
recommended the appointment of Cap-

JIOQUIAM SHIPYARDS ARE BUST
Two Sleamers and. Three Large
Barges Under Construction.
HOQUIAM, Wash., July 20. (Special.)
Shipbuilding in this city Is at its height
during the present season and there is
plenty of work for men skilled In this
line. At this time there is a scarcity of
shipbuilders and the yards are working
all the men they can obtain. Wages are
of the best but somehow help cannot be
obtained.
At the Mathews Shipyards, there are
now under construction the steamers
Shasta and Saginaw, being built for the
Pacific Lumber Company, of San Fran
Cisco. The decking is being placed on
the latter and this boat will be launched
In a short time. The handsome steamer
COS
BAR
William H. Murphy has Just left the
yards to load her first cargo of lumber
for San Francisco while the keel of an
other steamer has been laid where the
Murphy was built.
At the Sanstrom yards a large crew is
busy completing the work on three large
barges built for Hale & Kern, of Port
land. Other small lightering barges are
also under construction.
Heavy Travel to Beaches.
The steamer T. J. Potter sailed yester
day afternoon for Ilwaco with about B00
passengers. Beach travel has Increased
greatly during the present season and
1000 passengers more than for an equiva
lent period. Is the record of ths steamer.
July 20, 1906,, the steamer T. J. Potter
broke her starboard cylinder and for six
weeks was withdrawn from the run. In
that time the beach business suffered. At
the end of the season, however, it
summed-tip well with the year previous.
The season of 1907 promises to break all
records.
Swedish Singers Go South.
The steamer Costa Rica sailed for San
Francisco yesterday with all berths taken
and a full cargo of freight. The Costa
Rica carried the delegates to the Swedish
Singing Sode-ty, which will meet in San
FranciBco, July 25. As the steamer left
the dock the singers rendered a number
of selections. Among their party was a
bride and groom and appropriate songs
were sung for their benefit.

PREACH OLD-TIE GOSPEL
EXPERIENCED EVANGELISTS AT,
TREMONT CAMPMEETIXG.
Meetings Under Auspices of Holiness
Association Characterized by Sim
plicity All Creeds Welcomed.
Old-time religion, simple and unadulter
ated, is being dispensed by the Oregon
Holiness Association, which is Just now
engaged In Its third annual meeting at
Tremont station. The camp is proclaimed
as standing for full salvation first, last
and all the time. The worshippers boast
that they have . no "cunningly devised
theories" to set forth, but are prosecuting
a plan of salvation simple in the extreme.
Their doctrine is salvation from sin
first, then reclamation of backsliders, fol
lowed by sanctification as a distinct sec
ond work of grace in the human heart,
following Justification. It Is an inter
denominational movement and all who are
Interested in religious work are Invited to
participate.
The camp Is Ideal for the purpose. It la
in a pretty grove on the Mount Scott car
line. All the necessary comforts for camp
life are at hand, good water, free tents,
boarding lodge, and plenty of camp fur
niture for the use of all. An immense
tabernacle of canvas has been stretched.
It has a capacity of 1200 people and is
equipped with comfortable new camp
chairs. Gasoline lamps furnish adequate
illumination for the night meetings. All
the details of the "white city" have been
looked after by Le Grand Baldwin, presi
dent of the association, who has done his
work well.
A corps of religious workers has been
selected to conduct the work of the re
vival and champion the cause of, the
Binipio guspei. Among inese is .nev. Aura
Smith, of Indiana, who Is widely known
as an evangelist. He is an earnest speaker
and an effective evangelist. Mrs. Smith,
who accompanies him. Is a trained revival
worker whose keen knowledge of human
nature renders her assistance of great
value.
Rev. Charles F. Weigele. of Kentucky,
as an evangelist-singer, has already won
a place in the hearts of many in Port
land because of his services as leader of
last year's camp. He has a splendid
baritone, voice plus the advantage of
wide experience. Rev. E. A. Ross, a well
known evangelist of Los Angeles, ar
rives today to Join in the work. These
leaders, backed by a host of local pastors
and workers, promise to make this year's
camp the most notable Portland has seen
In many a day. The revival will continue
through next Sunday.
The meetings of yesterday and of Fri
day, were well attended, people going
from various parts of the city and from
outlying settlements. Three services are
being held each day. The hours of ser
vice are 10 A. M. and 3 and 6 P. it.
"DON'T FATTEN TROUT ON BABY
1 SALMON," SAYS H. S. McGOWAN
Thousands of Dollars are Spent to Turn Out Food for the
Voracious Enemies of the Famous Food Fish
McGOWAN, Wash., July 18. (To tha
Editor.) Your editorial of the 4th Inst..
entitled "Again the Salmon Plight" Is
excellent, and worthy the heed that good
counsel earns, but often fails to collect
from the moral bankrupt selfishness.
A letter of mine, printed In the same
Issue, may have been a partial cause of
your comment. I now wish to express re
gret that it has seemed necessary to di
verge from consideration of the real ques
tions from time to time, in order to pull
the mask of hypocrisy from professional
selfishness, that parades fair words to
cover foul deeds: that bears only "Greek
Gifts'' to the good cause, and paints a
stone to counterfeit real bread.
As your remarks do not deal directly
with the vital matter of protecting tha
baby salmon, I venture to invite your at
tention to the following, which was pre
pared to be read at a meeting of the
packers, but fell short of delivery:
Don't Fatten Trout on Baby Salmon.
The problem of salmon fry protection, Is
the most Important matter affecting the
future of the salmon business, and nat
urally brings up the question of probable
cost: First, of preparing suitable nursery
streams, and second, of maintenance, and
feeding the fish. Detail Information on
this phase of the question is lacking at
present, but knowledge on the subject will
be available later. It may be worth while.
however, to state that Mr. Van Dusen's
report of 1906, notes young fry on hand
at Mackenzie hatchery December 31,
6.000,000,0 and the letter of Superintendent
Talbert, under date of January 23, 1907,
says: "The fish are doing fine; I am feed
ing about 90 pounds of liver each week.'
It seems that the food question need not
be a source of alarm.
The main question of protecting the sal
mon fry seems to be a terrible "Bogle
Man" to many, including some of the
honorables, who are officially charged
with this most Important work, whenever
anyone comes to the front, with a cry to
protect the baby Balmon.
Mr. Bowers may be excused for his lack
of enthusiasm on this subject, as he may
absorb his knowledge of local conditions
by "long distance" from reports of hatch
ery operatives who would largely Increase
their own labors and responsibility by
causing nurseries to be provided. From
Mr. Van Dusen's report is quoted as fol
lows: ASTORIA. Or.. Dec. a, 1908.
Mr. J. A. Talbert, Superintendent Mac
kenzie River Hatchery Station.
Dear Sir: Herewith you will please find
a newspaper article to the effect that the
U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, and John Pease
Babcock, Commissioner of the Depart
ment of Fisheries of the Dominion of
British Columbia, claim that very few
salmon turned out from the hatcheries
after the yolk sac is completely absorbed,
are caught and devoured by trout or other
voracious fishes. In this connection I re
spectfully ask that in the future you make
an extra effort to find out whether or not
trout or other voracious fishes destroy fry
turned out from our hatcheries."
Fom Mr. Talbert's reply is the follow
ing :
"LEABORG, Or., Jan. 23, 1907.
"As you requested me, I have succeeded
In catching two Dolly Varden trout and
eight white fish, after making a plant of
fry, as follows: One Dolly Varden trout,
13 inches long. 182 fry In stomach; one
Dolly Vardert trout, 13 inches long, 81 fry
in stomach." -
Mr. Van Dusen discredits this report un
der date of April 30, In language as fol
lows: "I am more convinced than ever
that with careful hatchery superintend
ents who will conscientiously exert them
selves at all times to keep the hatchery
offal that is, dead eggs and dead fry
from entering the streams, as our superin
tendents are always Instructed to do, and
will be particular, not to liberate any fry
until after the yolk sac has been entirely
absorbed, and then be particular when
and where he liberates the fry, we will
never have any of them devoured by trout
or other fish, native the Mackenzie and
Willamette Rivers, nor in fact any of the
other tributaries of the Columbia River."
And further on he says: "As for the
Dolly Varden trout, we all know that it
would swallow anything in the shape of
food it could get hold of. dead or alive; it
Is a lazy, sluggish fish, and In my opin
ion never exerts itself very much for live
food. It Is, in fact, a scavenger, and sub
sists nearly entirely on food it picks up.
We have found such trout with fish Inside
their stomachs, that they had swallowed,
almost as large as themselves, but we
have nothing to show whether the fish
died from a natural cause, and was picked
up by the Dolly Varden. or whether It
was alive when caught, or whether It had
been crippled and was caught: but It
seems more probable that It was a dead
fish that had been picked up and swal
lowed at its convenience."
Mr. John Babcock, in a letter to Mr.
Vandusen under date of November 6,
1906, speaking of the researches of
Cloudsley Rutter. on the Sacramento
river, says: "From an Interesting line
of experiments, Rutter conclusively
ehows the extent to which the destruc
tion of Alevlns In open Btreams, by
trout and other predaceous fishes has
proceeded, and therefore concludes that
young salmon should never be plant
ed until the yolk sac has entirely dis
appeared, and their swimming power
has been fully developed, even though
they have to be fed a few days. There
is no advantage in holding them
after that time."
This same Mr. Babcock made a re
port for his British Columbia Depart
ment for the year 1903, In which he
makes use of the following language:
"The fry and yearlings have many
enemies in fresh water. The crops of
loons, ospreys and numerous other
birds which were killed at Seton lake
during the migration of 1903 were full
of the yearlings. Twenty-two were
removed from the crop of one loon.
Large lake trout, Charr (Dolly Var
den, perhaps), and Burbot (fresh water
Ling or Cusk, the only fresh water
member of the codfish family) were
caught, whose stomachs were distend
ed with them. In the pool above the
dam at Seton lake, no less than 22
large fish were caught at one time,
preying upon the schools of yearlings.
The numbers destroyed by these birds
and fishes is very great and cannot be
prevented."
Mr. Babcock's letter to Mr. Vandu
sen, of November 6, 1903, speaking
further of Mr. Butter's Sacramento
work which had been prosecuted about
six years, from 1895 to 1901, and in
which Mr. Babcock says he assisted
by advice, say: "The result of his
(Rutter's) work convinced me that
the retention and feeding of Qulnnat
salmon fry was unnecessary and dan
gerous, and that better results must
follow their liberation Just as soon as
they had absorbed the yolk sac."
Further on, Babcock says: "Fry are
not caught by trout or other preda
ceous fishes In fresh water."
To sum up Mr. Babcock, we have
the following out of his own mouth:
1901. "Retaining and feeding fry,
unnecessary and dangerous."
1903. "The fry and yearlings have
many enemies in fresh water.
"Large lake trout, Charr and Burbot
were caught, whose stomachs were dis
tended with them (yearlings).
"Twenty-two large fish were caught at
one time preying on the schools of
yearllngis."
190S. "Fry are not caught by trout
or other predaceous fish in fresh water."
Mr. Babcock further says that Dr.
David Starr Jordan is the greatest of
American fish experts, now let us see
what Dr. Jordan says about these
"sluggish" and voracious fishes that
Mr. Van Dusen does not believe will de
vour salmon fry. In Jordan & Ever
man's work, "American Food and Game
Fishes," published In 1902, he and Dr.
Everman say of the common ''cut
throat" trout: "The Individuals that
dwell in cold streams, about cascades
and seething rapids, will show marve
lous strength, and will make a fight
which is rarely equaled by Its East
ern cousin."
And of the rainbow trout "By many an
glers It Is regarded as the gamiest of all
game fishes. The gamest fish we have
ever seen was a 16-inch rainbow trout,
taken on a fly in a small spring branch
tributary of Williamson River, in South
ern Oregon."
And of lake trout "The lake trout Is
omniverous In Its feeding habits and pos
sesses a ravenous appetite. It greedily
devours all kinds of fishes possessing soft
fins."
And of the charrs. which Includes the
Dolly Vardens "The members of this
genus are by far the most active and
handsome of the trout, living only In the
clearest, coldest and most ' secluded
waters. No higher praise can be given to
a salmonoid than to say it is a charr."
And of the Dolly Varden "It reaches a
length of two to three feet, and a weight
of five to twelve pounds. It Is a vora
cious fish, feeding freely upon whatever
offers, and especially fond of minnows, of
which It devours great numbers. At Lake
Pend d'Orlelle, where the bull trout
(Dolly Varden) is an abundant and popu
lar game fish, we have found two species
of minnows and one Miller's Thumb
(fresh water bullhead) all in the stomach
of one fish.
"The gameness of the Dolly Varden
trout varies greatly with the character of
the water and the season. Just as with
any other game fish. Those taken in
lakes are apt to be sluggish, but when
taken In cold streams, with a good,
strong, steady current, or in the rapids
where the water tumbles and boils, then
the Dolly Varden displays the superior
game qualities which show its kinship
with its Eastern and better known con
gener." During the five years from 1897-98 to
1901-02, inclusive, the hatcheries report
turning 140,000,000 young chlnook salmon
into the Columbia River and tributaries
an average of 28,000,000 yearly. The aver
age annual catch of chlnooks for the pe
riod of returns from that output has been
about 1,000,000, or 8 6-10 per cent of. the
hatchery output, if we exclude the results
of natural spawning altogether a factor
which must be very large. It is reason
able to suppose that a great many fish
yet come from the natural spawning beds,
so that our hatcheries can lay claim to
less than 8 per cent of returns from arti
ficial propagation. Where Is the missing
97 per cent? What says Mr. Bowers, Mr.
Babcock and Mr. Van Dusen about this
missing 97 per cent? Do they or either of
them advocate any polloy to attempt a
saving of any part of the 97 per cent of
the missing fish? Do they advocate any
substitute that Is better or any substitute
that is practical? Could money or effort
be better spent than to save this 97 per
cent of young salmon that are already se
cured and are In our care? Dump them
out. Just weaned from the egg 75 of them
to the ounce 1000 of them to the pound
little fellows that require 20,000 to make
the weight of an average-sized full-grown
salmon! Dump them out during the Win
ter and early Spring, when other food
for trout, bass and sundry fishes and birds
is at the lowest ebb; when their enemies
are the hungriest, when it takes the larg
est number of them to fill an empty
stomach turn them out when there Is the
least food for them to secure, and when
the larger-sized ones of the previous year
have the greatest Incentive of hunger and
the best opportunity to devour them.
Satisfy yourself with 3 per cent and
throw away 97 per cent of your young
salmon, and continue to do business along
the road to the "foolish house."
Men that feed this three per cent,
"dope" to the public labeled one hundred
per cent, efficiency, are out of place,
their proper field of operations is politics,
where "fairy tales" and "hot air" consti
tute the coin of the realm.
Our farmers ought to keep wild cats,
coons and weasels, skunks and minks in
the chicken yards, for they won't eat the
chickens until they are dead. Cougars
and bears should be kept In the fields
with the lambs, calves and colts. Just as
soon as the little chickens break out of
the shells and begin feeding, they are too
spry for wild cats, coons, skunks, minks
or weasels to catch. As soon as the lambs
are old enough to nibble grass, the cou
gars can't catch them, or at any rate, the
cougar is a "lazy sluggish animal, a
scavenger that does not care for live
food," and noses around for dead cats
and defunct politicians. Wa now under1
stand how it is that the lion and the Iamb
lie down together, what matters It, If
the lamb happens to be inside the Hon?
he wasn't eaten until after he was dead.
Of course we all know the real truth
of this question, but many lack specific
evidence as to time, place, and circum
stances, sufficient to make proof abso
lute. We know that trout will eat the
young salmon at every opportunity, when
hungry, simply because it is the nature
of the "animal" to do so. The trout is
known to be the quickest and most active
fish that swims, as one writer aptly
says: "He Is a living arrow." Every cast
of a fly In a stream, is a tribute to the
fact that trout prefer live food, and are
abundantly able to capture it, swimming
or flying.
The reports say that 62,000,000 Chlnooks
were turned into the Columbia River from
the hatcheries, ' five years ago, and 70,000,
000 .four years ago. Of these the Snake
River operations at Ontario, furnished
21,000,000 in 1902, and 22,000.000 in 1903.
These are supposed to be from the early
runs of salmon. How many of them have
returned to the river last year or the
present season?
Quite a contrast to this, experience Is a
result obtained at Yes Bay in southeast
ern Alaska, last year. I am informed
that five years ago, a lot of 6CO0 red sal
mon, five inches long, were marked by
cutting off the adipose fin, and were then
released. Last year 2000 full grown fish
bearing the mark were taken. This is in
dh-ect line with results from similar trials
at the Clackamas and the Kalama Riv
ers, though the percentage of fish taken
Is considerably higher In the Alaska case.

Those fish, however, were five Inches
long, when released, while the Clackamas
and Kalama lots were not much over half
the length, no doubt a decided advantage
In favor of the Northern fish.
Why the "doubting Thomas" Is so
numerous and persistent In the opinion
that salmon fry have no enemies in
fresh water Is difficult to understand.
In view of the facts that the salva
tion of that doctrine would be as bar
ren of benefits as hell is of water, and
would still leave the 97 per cent loss
to go on. On the other hand, proof
of the error of that opinion would dis
play some of our fishery departments
In effect the most destructive agencies
that the fishing Industry has to con
tend with.
These are the sum of possible con
tingencies in this controversy, one of
which must finally become the portion
of the friends of the present system.
Why will sane men court such an
alternative and prefer to battle for a
victory that means a barren prize, ex
cept the egotist's pride of opinion
when defeat must mean their complete
confusion? The nursery partisan has
the natural and obvious argument that
all young life is menaced by predatory
enemies; besides much direct evidence
with details from various sources that
cannot be impeached.
The prevailing hatchery system Is
disposing of 97 per cent of the yearly
output, less what la consumed by the
salt water enemies. The fishermen
catch the remaining three per cent. An
Industry that stands for millions of
dollars depends on 'this three per cent
of the hatchery output, while 97 per
cent goes to the 'system." Vast sums
are spent each year to catch this three
out of a hundred who will take a
chance on the other 97?
