NEED OREGON CITY LOCKS Officer Strongly Urges Appropria tion for Repairs and Operation of Dredge Chinook Plan for Completion of Dalle Canal. RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY COLONEL 8. W.

In the Willamette River at Oregon City. Appropriation of $200,000 annually for the dredging of the Willamette and Columbia Rivera between Port land and the sea. Completion of The Dalles-Cento canal on the continuous contract plan and the appropriation of $1. 000.000 annually for the continuance of the work. The annual report of Colonel B. W. I Roessler, United States Engineer, was completed yesterday afternoon and a copy forwarded to Washington. The turning over of the office to Major J. F. Mclndoe marked the final official act of the En gineer officer, who haa been the fore most factor In maintaining deep water between Portland and the sea. Colonel Roessler's report was a vol uminous affair and dealt with the his tory of each project from Its Inception until the close of the fiscal year of 1908. He made four recommendations which, if accepted by the Government, and the appropriations made, will be of the great est benefit, not only to Portland, but to the entire Northwest which is tributary to the great waterway, the Columbia River. Chinook of Great Importance. The recommendation of $100,000 for re pairs to the dredge Chinook and for the appropriation of an additional sum of 100,000 for the operating expenses of the craft is considered of the utmost im portance by all shipping men. Colonel Roessler strongly urges the need of the dredge to deepen the channel at the mouth of the river. The jetty has reached a point where Its work is telling, but with the assistance of a dredge to stir up the Band and permit the scour to assist the jetty, great benefit would result. In reviewing the work done during the fiscal year at the mouth of the river by Government engineers. Colonel Roessler says that the work of extending the jetty had not been looked at. The driv ing of piling to replace that carried away by the Winter storms was all that had been done. The placing of thousands of tons of rock on the portions already driven; the upbuilding and strengthening of the part of the Jetty which uad been in trestle form, occupied the attention of the officers exclusively. In the opin ion of the Colonel, it was this which so greatly benefited the channel. Survey of Bar. - The annual survey of the bar was made Just prior to the close of the fiscal year and the surveyors' report shows a 33 foot channel, 6000 feet In width and with a depth over the entire distance of 25V4 feet at dead low water. It was not this condition alone, however, which prompted the recommendation for the Chinook, for Colonel Roessler had Incorporated a sim ilar recommendation in a previous report. He has always been a firm believer In the assistance which could be rendered by the operation of a dredge. Channel to Sea. The second recommendation of impor tance to Portland was the one wherein a sum of $200,000 annually be set aside for dredging and maintaining the channel be tween Portland and the sea on the Wil lamette and Columbia Rivers. Heretofore this work has been carried on princi pally by the Port of Portland. During the last two years the Port of Portland Com mission received no assistance whatever from the Government. The dredge W. S. Ijuld has operated a little on the lower Columbia. During the fiscal year, which ended June 30, the Ladd removed 472. S88 cubic yards of sand as compared with 2.012.000 cubic yards handled by the dredges Columbia and Portland, of the Port of Portland. An additional recommendation for this portion of the river was also made. The dredging of a channel on the west side of Swan Island to admit the passage of river craft and log boats Is strongly urged. This Improvement would deepen the channel on the Bast Side, where now lies the ship channel. The channel be tween Portland and the sea can now ac eemmodate vessels of :B-foot draft at lowest low water. This Is a decided im provement over past times, says the re port. t The Dalles-Celllo Canal. The completion of The Dalles-Celllo canal on the continuous contract plan, and the appropriation of $1,000,000 annually for this work. Is the only feasible plan which has been submitted for finishing the project. Owing to weather and flood ' conditions, contractors have been unable to meet the time specifications and the work haa been greatly delayed. Until complete the canal Is useless to steamboat men and the shippers. The purchase of tne locks at the falls of the Willamette Kiver at Oregon City, Colonel Koessler reports, would have the effect of placing farmers along the entire Willamette and tributary streams in closer touch with Portland, as It would put the locks under Federal, instead of private control, and would give all steam boats equal facilities for the handling of freight. The locks at Oregon City handle thousands of tons of freight and many passengers yearly. Channel In Willamette. For the maintenance of the channel of the Willamette River above Portland the annual expense is estimated at $30,000. Colonel Roessler asks for the granting of this sum for the coming year and also for an additional sum of $10,000 for the con struction of a revetment at a point oppo site Albany. At that placei the current has cut away the bank and threatens to shift the channel. Of the minor work done by the engineers, Colonel Roessler refers to the Snake and the Upper Columbia Rivers. There has been much improvement on the former both above and below Rlparla. and on the Columbia the work had reached only a preliminary stage when the fiscal year cam to a close, rhe engineers are now constructing a drill and rake steamer at Celllo for the worn on the Upper Colum bia during the coming FalL The vessel will be christened Umatilla and will be ready for commission toward the end of August. Dredge for Outside Harbors. Reference is made to the new dredge being constructed for use on the outside harbors. The craft will be ready for service next month, but there is yet no appropriation for operating. It was the intention to send her to Coos Bay, but thjs is at present out or tne question. There has been talk of the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce putting up sufficient money for operation but this Is not official. Work has also been done on the Clat skanle, Lewis and Deep Rivers in the way of removing snags and obstructions to light draft boats. There has also been some work done on Coos and Tilla mook Bays as well as on the Coqullle River. In summing up the expense for the year Colonel Roessler reports as follows: Expense of Year. Willamette River, above Port land $ 3S.64S.82 Columbia and Willamette below Portland 61,095.14 Mouth of the Columbia, general ' improvement ......... ........ 65S.700.73 Clatskanle Rlvter 688.00 Cowlitz and Lewis Rivers ....... 12,764.59 Grays River 1,113.30 Gauging 143.34 Yamhill locks, operating 1,687.10 Total $770,731.02 For the ports on the Coast, including Coos Bay, Tillamook, Coqullle, the Snake and Upper Columbia, there was an add! tlonal expense of $330,060.27. This brought the total expense of the Engineers' De partment for the district up to $1,100,791.29. Colonel Roessler will leave today for his new station in New York, formerly held Dy General Marshall, now Chief of Engineers for the United States Army. ALASKA STEAMERS DAMAGED V. 6. Porter Ashore at St. Michael. Ohio Has Lost Her Wheel. Reports brought by a United States of ficial, who returned last evening from Puget Sound, show that the damage wrought by ice to the fleet of vessels op erating between Seattle and JCome baa been much greater than has been re ported. In steamship circles last night there was a well authenticated report that the latest disaster was the beaching of the oil tank steamship W. S. Porter near St. Michael. The report says that the Porter was not seriously damaged. The steamship Ohio lost her wheel and Is leaking badly. She is still fast in the Ice and fears are entertained that she will suffer severely when the Ice gives way and she Is left to the sea. All the passengers have been taken off. Of the fleet that has succeeded in reaching Seattle, all have suffered greatly except the Stanley Dollar. The Senator is at Ford & Jenkins' works In Seattle and the contract for repairs calls for $7000. She is badly stove. The Olympla Is at Quartermaster harbor and the re pairs on her will run well past the $10, 000 mark. She was leaking badly when she arrived. The steamship Victoria is at the Heffernan Machine Works and the extent of her damage has not been es timated, but will run close to $11,000. State of California Leaves South. The steamship State of California Balled for San Francisco yesterday morn ing with a full list of passengers and full of freight. Every berth on the steamer was taken and there was a large crowd of friends on the dock to witness the departure of the vessel. Among the passengers who sailed on the State were: Mr. and Mrs. William Glea- son. Mrs. James Gleason, Captain Charles Johnson and bride and Miss Mamie Hass lam. Marine Notes. Steamship Alliance sailed last night for points on Coos Bay. The sloop Condor left down at noon with freight for Alsea Bay and New port.

One of the mysteries of Paris has been solved by the death of Mme. de Provlgny, which has opened for the first time In more than half a century the house on Boulevard Polssommlere known as the "house of mystery." For 60 years and more the shutters of that house were never opened. Servants entered stealthily and it was known to be in habited by a recluse of great eccen tricity, but its secret was well kept until a few days ago, when the place was suddenly dressed in the black and sliver trappings of French mourning, and it was announced that Its aged and sorrowful Inmate, Mme. de Provlgny, was dead. She was an old lady of more than 70, and for the last half century she lived in that house the life of an anchorite, without a newspaper or communication of any kind with the outside world. For 50 years Mme. de Provlgny wore white satin. She wore It on her wed ding day and always dressed in white to the end. Fifty years ago M. de Provlgny died. They had been mar ried the same morning and the young husband succumbed to apoplexy an hour after the- ceremony. When she recovered from the shock If, indeed, she can be said ever to have recovered from it Mme. de Provlgny had the house shut up, but she retained her servants on the con dition that they were never to con front her with a living being and never to speak to her again. She did not know the trend of public events. Automobiles, electric cars and even railroad trains were unknown to her. She did not know that France was a republic. She had never heard of the Dreyfus cetse. of the death of Queen Victoria, or of any national or inter national event In her will she left her whole for tune to men and -women over 60 and of good character. She left a large house in the country as a home for them and $2,000,00 for its maintenance. FINAL ACCOUNT OF ESTATE Heirs of Workman Receive $1823 From Southern Pacific. Joe S.

According to the reoortu of th a rham Postofflce for the past three years sub mitted by Mrs. lone MeColl, Postmistress, tnere nas Been a steady growth of busi ness. In 1901 two rural routes from Gresham were started, the first to be started In the United States from a country village. Three more routes were started from there in 1902. In January, 1903, the electric railway was completed and Gresham gets two malls a day from Portland. Gresham has been raised from a fourth to a third-class office, and the sal arv nf the postmaster will probably be raised to $1300 next year. Gresham Is surrounded by what is considered the richest agricul tural aistnct in the state. Improved farm land can hardly be purchased at any price. The town Is building up rapidly ana suDstantiaiiy. AN OBSERVATION CAR. Adding Luxury to the Delightful Co lumbia River Trip. The O. R. & N. has just added an ob servation car to the equipment of trains 2 and 6 between Portland and The Dalles which will be a very welcome feature to sightseers along that most attractive por tion of the Columbia River trip.

The price at which the ground is signed up Is some where between. $60,000 and $70,000.

SURRENDER PUBLIC FUNDS NEW YORK BANKS ANTICIPATE TREASURY' CALL. Trust Companies Are Aided to Com ply With State taw and Cash -Reserves Are Decreased. NEW YORK. July 11. The Financier will say: The statement of the New Torjc associated banks for the week ending July 11 showed an increase of $7,655, 100 cash and a gain of $2,478,575 in re serve, to $50,063,925. The statement of averages, however, indicated a loss of $5,684,700 and a decrease of $7,642 050 in reserve to $47,053,250; thus the re port of actual conditions reflected a recovery by the end of the week in these Items. As compared with those reported in the average statement, the most strik ing feature was an actual reduction or $6,289,700 In public deposits, the result of surrenders of such funds In antici pation of the maturity on July 15 of the Treasury call for such surrender. Another important feature -was a re duction of $6,948,400 cash, which was drawn from the banks by the trust companies In order to comply with the requirement of the state law, which made necessary the augmentation by juiy i or tneir cash reserves in vaults to 10 per cent of their deposits. The above noted reductions in cash, through compliance by the trust companies with cash reserve requirements, will largely account for the decrease in cash shown by the averages as above; the gain in this cash item, as indicated by actual conditions, was probably due to receipts from the interior, which were nearly large enough to offset the transfer of cash to trust companies; such receipts being a direct transfer of Interior bank balances with their bank correspondents, preparatory to sur renders this week of public 'deposits for account of these country depositors, and this most likely offset the sur renders above noted to $6,250,000 of Government funds through the local banks. Bank loans increased $15,913, 400, while deposits were augmented $20,706,100. Adding to the loans the gain in cash caused the statement to show a good proof. The percentage of reserve to depos Its, indicated by the actual condition of the banks, was 28.97; such percent age of state banks was 32.06, and the cash reserve in vaults of the trust com panies was .0956, or within .044 of the statutory requirement. The statement of averages of the clearing-house banks for the week follows: Decrease. Ijjans $1,255,712,800 $14,616,303 Deposits. . .. 1,328.300,230 7.829.400 Circulation. ...

The statement of banks and trust companies of Greater New York not members of the clearing-house shows that these institutions have aggregate deposits of $991,946,800.

Sultan Mulai Hand is a very much dis appointed and disgusted man. For three days he had the best, blacksmith here breaking open the massive doors of the Shereenan treasury to discover nothing more valuable than a trunk containing some old clotheB 'belonging to Abdul Aziz. When the latter started for Rabat he left behind the greater part of his harem, and Hand demanded that they should show him the hiding places of the treasure but the women replied that the Sultan had taken all the cash and Jewels with him. They were mercilessly flogged to re freshen their memory but they betrayed nothing. End of Anthracite Near. NEW YORK, July 11. If the consump tion of anthracite coal continues at the same rate at which it has been going on for the last several years It is estimated that the supply will be entirely exhausted In the year 2055, says Edward W. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey. He adds that by that time "according to the records up to date the United States will be using more than 2,000.000,000 tons a year 2,300,000,000, to be nearer exact. The average annual production during the decade from 1916 to 1925 will be about And many other painful and serious ailments from which most mothers suffer, can be avoided by the use Mother's Friend." This remedy is a God-send to women, carrying them V SPECIALIST The doctor "thinks" The doctor treats The doctor relieves the symptoms. A good doctor has some in struments and equipment for all ailments. .1 have treated hundreds of men who had long suffered a gxaduaV decline of physical and mental energy as a result of private ailments, and have been interested ia noting the marked general improvement that follows a thorough cure of the chief disorder. My success in curing difficult cases of long standing has made me the foremost specialist treating men's diseases. This success is due to several things. It is due to the study I have given my specialty; to my having ascertained the exact nature of men's ailments, and to the original, distinctive and thoroughly scientific methods of treament I employ. To those in doubt as to their true condition, -who wish to avoid the serious results that may follow neglect I offer free consultation and advice, either at my office or through correspondence. If your case is one of the few that has reached an incurable stage, I will not accept it for treatment, nor will I urge my sen-ices upon any one. I treat curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat. You Pay When Cured MY FEE IN ANY UNCOMPLICATED CASE WEAKNESS So-called "weakness" in men is curable fully curable.
