THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, MARCH 13. 1910. HODD RIVER HURT Columbia No to Be Dredged in Front of Town. ; ADVERSE REPORT IS MADE Army Engineers, After Investiga tion, Find Silt Brought Down by Hood Would Necessitate Con tinual Dredging of Flats. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 6. No appropriation will be carried in the pending- river and harbor bill ' tor the improvement of the Columbia : River . opposite the town of Hood River, because of an adverse report submitted to Congress by the Army engineers, it is the policy of the committees of the Senate and House to appropriate for only those projects which have the indorsement of the engineers. The river and harbor bill of two years ago authorized a survey of the Columbia River at Hood River to de termine the feasibility end desirability of dredging a channel of approach from the main channel of the Colum bia through the bar or flats in front of the town of Hood River, so that boats may land nearer the town at ail stages of the river than is' now possible. The examination made under the direction of Major J. B. Cavanaugh shows that the physical conditions are such that any improvement made would require constant . dredging at heavy cost, because the silt brought down by Hood River would continually deposit in the dredged channel, and tend to close it. ' Therefore the Engineer -Board of Re view, and the Chief of Engineers in dorse the adverse conclusion of Major Cavanaugh. The board's report Is In part as follows: "Boats can now land at the town only during high stages, while at low er stages the landing Is about 1 miles above the town. It will be seen, therefore, that the Improvement would be In the nature of a convenience rath er than a necessity, as under existing conditions water communication is practicable. The principal - advantage to be- gained by the desired improve ment would b in reducing the neces sary wagon haul about a mile or a mile., and a half. Improvements of this nature ' are usually provided by the community Interested. 'In view of all the circumstances, the "board is led to concur with the district officer and the division engineer in the opinion that It Is not advisable at this time for the general Govern ment to undertake the improvement of Columbia River in front of the town Of Hood River." The report of Major Cavanaugh, after reviewing the commerce available at Hood River, says: . . "In front of the town an extensive sand flat extends northward into the Columbia River, bare at low water for at least half a mile from high-water line, with shoal depths extending a considerable distance farther. "Hood River, a rapid mountain stream with a mean annual discharge of 1300 second-feet, runs through this sand flat and emntles into the Co lumbia River, generally through three mouths. It is rapid and, shoal at low water, even where it passes through the sand flats, and Is not navigable, so that steamboats navigating the Co lumbia -cannot approach close to the town during the lower stagc of the river. During freshet stages in June and July they do, however, land well up in Hood River Just across the rail road track, close to the town. At other . times .- of. the year the steam boat landing, available at all stages, is situated on the east side of Hood River, about a mile or a mile and a half from the railroad depot. "The prominent shippers and citi zens desire the adoption of some pro ject of improvement by the general Government that will permit the river steamboats to land close to town at all stages of the Columbia River, either by the diversion of a channel along the high-water bank in front of the town by dikes or other permanent works or by the construction of an artificial low-water channel by dredg ing through the sand flat to the same point. . . "No survey or examination of this locality has ever been made by the department, and no reliable maps are available on which to base an estimate of the probable cost of the desired improvement. It is safe, to assume, however, that the least work necessary would require the dredging of a chan nel through the sand flat not less than one-half mile long, 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep, probably much more, and such a channel would require a very considerable sum for maintenance, as the annual freshets In the Columbia River would undoubtedly fill it up yearly. "At low-water stages the present haul from the town to the boat land ing does not exceed 1 miles. As the river shipments' would have to be load ed on wagons In any event, the extra distance carried does hot materially affect the cost of shipment by boat, and it is not believed that the desired Improvement, if made, would .affect the shipments by rail or the rates ' upon such- shipments. - - "The terminal, facilities consist of a suitable wharf, affording adequate ac commodations for the. limited traffic, but the existing wagon road from the town to the boat landing Is very poor, both as to grades and surface, and its reconstruction, including a new bridge across' Hood River, at a more favorable locution would be a much more prac tical solution of the matter than the attempt to bring the landing place nearfcr the town. "In view of the comparatively small extent of tho river commerce to bo affected and the slight benefit that would result to shippers by reason of a more convenient boat landing, the considerable cost of any suggested Im provement and the relatively large an nual expenditure that would be re quired for maintenance, the Columbia River In front of the town of Hood River is not considered worthy of im provement by the general Government at the present time.' CITY HALL ISSUE AROUSES Forest . Grove Divided on Xeed pf New Public Building. FOREST GROVE,- Or., March 12. (Special.) Will Forest Qrove. build a new city hall? A. G. Hoffman will file a petition with the council at Its next meeting, asking for the immediate con struction of a city hall. The Council Is opposed to building a city hall this year because It has not sufficient funds. To others the present site is not adequate for it is on a back street, and to put money in a brick building at that "point is not thought advantageous. Others -want the building on the campus. The old Council, in a factional fight some months ago, made a contract for the "bricks for the new structure and that contract has been signed. The new Council believes that it can dispose of the bricks and see- no necessity for building a city hall now when the city has Just received a donation of a brick block on another street from Mrs. Ade line Rogers. According to a member of the City Council the move for a city hall Is "an attempt to tie the hands of the Council In the operation o the lighting plant by depriving them of the use of the money In the building fund for other purposes, which may be necessary to Install the new generator and place the light plant in good running1 order.
