JETTY PLANS ARE
BEING DEVELOPED
Government Engineer Prepar
ing Report Covering Fu
ture Operations.
ROCK IS SOUGHT NEARBY
Qnarrj Prospects Thus Far Eum
Ined Are Not Promising Supply
From Above Fisher's May
Continue to Be Used.
Before another month passes there will
be placet) in possession of tiie chief of
engineers at Washington two Important
reports deal I ii if with the latest phases
of projects at the mouth of the Colum
bia River, that will indicate material
advances made and how those gains
may be enhanced through future work.
The. leading subject will be the last lap
on the south Jetty and preliminaries
for Inaugurating operations on the north
Jetty, the trestle of which will start
from beneath the stately promontory of
Canby Head. The second feature will
be the fact that in two months construc
tion will end on the installation of the
most modern fire and mine control sys
tem at all the forts.
To gather data particularly with refer
ence to Jetty construction. Major Mc
lndoe. Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., un
der whose direction the project summed
up In the south letty has been carried
on and who has been authorized to pre
pare for the north trestle, has Just com
pleted a trip to the lower river. His
Itinerary embraced the entire field, from
a Journey over the, jetty under way from
Fort Stevens and a delving Into official
matters pertaining to the work, with
a view to future operations, to an In
spection of fortification construction un
der way there and at Fort Canby. and
trip over the Ilwaco Railroad system to
Investigate prospect for obtaining rock
for the north" Jetty nearer the base of
operations.
The rock question has proved one of
t lie stumbling Mocks. The supply now
used on the south Jetty Is quarried above
Fisher's Landing, on the Middle Colum
bia, and Is toweu In barges to Fort Stev
ens, the dally receipts being approxi
mately tons, and to keep the pro
ject moving two loaded targes are de
livered there each morning with an ad
ditional barge three times a week. The
present contract Is for &0.000 tons and It
is estimated that next season, when the
south Jetty mill be finished as to the
main work and probably only a small
amount of labor required for the follow
ing season to Insure Its permanent main
tenance, another contract for 4UO.00O tons
will be awarded.
Rock Supply Is Problem.
That rock supply is the only one found
on the river that fills requirements per
taining to the character of material re
quired. But to deliver It at Fort Stevens
the barges are towed more than 100
miles. Channel conditions being favora
ble, transportation proceeds without re
gard to tides. But in arranging for the
north jetty other features enter into the
undertaking and three problems remain
to he solved. One Is whether the govern
ment will build receiving wharves on
Sand Inland and ro't- rox-k from barges
delivered there to L an by Mead by a rail
line built on trestle. Another is to pro
vide a channel east and north of Sand
Island, so that barges can reach a base
or delivery point at Fort Canby. The
third Is to establish a receiving station
along the line of the Ilwaco Railroad at
a point where deep water is available,
and have the company handle the rock
to Ilwaco from which point it could be
routed to Kort Canby over a spur or
branch line to be operated by the Gov
ernment. Changing conditions on Sand Island
may pre-ent the adoption of the wharf
and trestle plan there and the maintain
ing of a channel. To float barges only
at high water means delays that would
prevent continued operations of rock
trains to the Jetty and thereby add need
less expense to the project. The ideal
proposal has been to locate a quarry on
the Megler continuation of the Ilwaco
Railroad, and it was to Inspect a quarry
near Fort Columbia, owned by Henry
8- Mr-Go wan that Major Mclndoe made
a special trip from Fort Canby Friday.
Quarry Prospects Viewed.
Accompanied by Gerald Bagnall. assist
ant In the United States Engineer De
partment, and who has charge of the
south jetty, and Superintendent Budd.
or the Ilwaco Railroad, the district offi
cer first visited North Beach, where
there is a quarry prospect, and then
viewed three properties In the Megler
neighborhood, but the soft formation of
the rock uncovered, which apparently
does not promise greater hardness as
the quarries are developed, is not en
couraging. Unless more satisfactory ma
terial can be found It means that the
quarry near Fisher's will have to be de
pended on. Though present and pre
vious contracts for that rock have been
satisfactory as to price, the monopoly
eliminates competitive bids, and pur
chases mast be estimated on the basis
of the south Jetty contract, plus added
delivery expense wherever the receiving
point is established.
Near Megler Is a natural basin, where
IS feet of water is available. It has
been suggested that the Government
build wharves there and maintain the
seme derrick plant as is In use at Fort
Stevens for unloading barges, the rail
road Interests doing the hauling. It Is
promised that one of the road's locomo
tives can haul 50 rock cars of the type
used on jetty work, and the material
would be carried about 15 miles before
reaching the Government spur, where
the trains would be divided into strings
of 16 cars to be moved by the smaller
Jetty locomotives.
Drawr Promises Kasr Grade.
Slightly northward of Canby Head Is
a draw that has been surveyea d .Major
Vclndoe's direction that promises an
easy grade and access to the ocean
beach, and from the Baker Bay side the
Jetty will start- For a portion or the
distance the trestle will extend In a
southwesterly direction and toward the
south Jetty, and will turn due west, so
that the opening ror the passage of ves
sels will be two miles wide. The entire
length will be about half that of the
south Jetty, and it is estimated that It
can be finished in four years. The cost
of the south Jetty will be approximately
S.Ou0.uOO. and the last appropriation car
ried enough funds for the starting of the
north Jetty early next sesson.
Major Mclndoe has received orders to
proceed to New York to Inspect fortifl
catlons. and thence to Washington to
confer with the chief of engtneers on
the Jetty plans, and he will depart the
first week In June

In deepening the channel, the Govern

which the material is being distributed
ashore to fill low land on the west bank
of the Willamette.
While a majority of the property own
ers have agreed to pay for the fill on a
yard basis, a few have refused to sign
contracts and their land will receive no
benefits. By that means the Govern
ment will be reimbursed to an extent
In undertaking the Improvement of the
old channel. Anchoring of vessels In
the stream near the lower bridge will
be discouraged so that In the end it
may be deemed advisable to secure con

The British steamer St. George, which
Is discharging European cargo here, is
to shift tomorrow morning to the Cen
tennlal dock to finish, and as the berth
Is occupied by the French bark Marechal
de Castries, the latter will be hauled
into the stream. To work additional
cargo for the Far East the Oriental
liner Hercules shifted last evening from
Alblna to the flour mills. The coming
of the new steamer Orterlc will add life
to harbor affairs during the week.
Marine Notes.
Bringing fuel oil from Monterey, the
steamer J. A. Chanslor yesterday en
tered at the Custom-House and cleared
for the same port in ballast.
To determine what amount of bank
was washed away opposite' Salem a sur
vey has been started under the direc
tion of Major Mclndoe. Corps of Engi
neers. To undergo an overhauling and general
repairs the steamer Major Guy Howard,
of the United States Quartermaster's De
partment, has been hauled out at Sup
pie's yards.
Having finished discharging the French
bark Marechal de Gontaut will shift
tomorrow from the bunkers of the Pa
cific Coast Company to the Oregon dry
dock, where she will be lifted fur clean
ing and painting. "
On her first excursion to the Cascade
Locks this season the steamer Bailey
Gatzert will leave this morning, while
the steamer Monarch, formerly . tbs
Charles R. Spencer, is also to depart
on ,her initial trip to the same locality.
Two members of the crew of the
schooner Mindoro were discharged yes
terday and paid off at the Custom-House.
The vessel has been floated from the

If the population of Portland be ex
cluded, the urban population of Ore
gon will be found to be 90.211. or 13.25
per cent of the total. The census of
1900 makes calculations In regard to
urban population by excluding cities of
100.000 or more inhabitants, without,
however, adopting any policy for fu
ture action. It seems reasonable that
cities of 100,000 people, and particu
larly a city of Portland's situation,
should not count In the urban calcula
tion. Between 1900 and 1910 Oregon's
urban' population increased 183,291. of
which number Portland gained 116.788.
Portland made this gain not solely be
cause of its relation to the state of
Oregon, but because of Its relation to
he Pacific Northwest, of which Ore
gon is only part.
City Is Northwest Center.
Thirty years ago Portland had no
rivals in the Northwest. Between 188o
and 1905 other towns sprang up and
shared the Northwest field with Port
land, and at times seriously circum
scribed Portland's portion ,of the field.
Since 1905, or more especially since
he completion of the North Bank road.
Portland has resumed its obi position
of being supreme In the Northwest.
It Is now more than ever the domi
nant city In finance and business in
this Northwest country, and its posi
tion In this respect will strengthen
rather than weaken. Portland now
lives off and is sustained' by the North
west, not by Oregon alone.
There is no doubt that there is hot a
sufficient drift toward the rural dis
tricts, and the Commercial Club has
done, good work in calling attention
to this phase of the subject. Reason
for this veering away from the farms
may be found to some extent In the
fact that In recent years a whole lot
of $36 to $75 an acre farm land has
been divided up Into so-called apple
or other special lands, and sold or at
tempted to be sold, at prices varying
from $300 to $500 per acre. Much of
this land Is absolutely unadapted to
the purpose for which it Is being sold.
What Is the result? Large tracts have
been withdrawn from production and
the former owner has moved into town
and Is sporting an automobile. It would

He said that In his Judgment there Is
not a better location for a trout hatch
ery In the state. As an experiment.
200,000 Kedslde eggs are now in pro
cess of hatching at Poujade. Over ?.00.
000 salmon fry are ready to be liber
ated.
Speaking of salmon, Mr. Clanton said
that he expects an unusually large run
this'ycar. Although the catch has not
neen-4arge In the lower Columbia since
the opening of the season. May 1, there
have been plenty of them coming over
the ladders at Oregon City, and there
are now enough on their way up the
river to assure an unprecedented hatch.
"One thing I have notiosd," he said,
"is the unusual number of steelhcads
coming over the ladders at Oregon City.
Where usually only a few hundred come
up the Willamette, most of which so
iid the Molalla and Santlam to spawn
they are now coming up by thousands.
and I am anxious to get them up the
McKenzle and other forks of the Wil
lamette, as they are a game fish, and
take a fly like a redside.
"If it were not that we are making
the Improvements at Poujade this year,
I would send a million eggs to that
place this summer. In the hope that the
fry 'would find their way up the Mc
Kenzle. and afford Willamette Valley
and Portland sportsmen, who come here
to fish, the magnificent sport of catch
ing a 15 or 20 pound steel head on a fly;
an Oregon sport that has been had at
Its best for many years only on the
Rogue River. The steelhead and the
redside have many habits !n common,
and I see no reason why we cannot
make them plentiful In the McKenzle
and the Willamette. I propose doing all
I can to get them to come up every
year."

of the ability of the department, there
being no known disorderly houses at
this time.
"The social evil is the most trouble
some one with which the police have
to cope," said Chief Moore. "However.
we are enforcing the Mayor's order
very well. In places formerly known to
us bs disorderly houses, there are now
no women, except perhaps one or two,
and these declare they are not violat
ing the law, but are conducting room
ing establishments. Now, it may be
said that the police could make arrests
In such cases, but we can't do that; we
must be able to show the court that
specific acts of law violation are oc
curring before we can arrest any one.
I am well pleased with the situation
now and shall continue to enforce the
orders given me by the Mayor while I
am Acting Chief."

tients personally. I possess skill
and experience, acquired in such a
way that no other can share, and
should not be classed with medical
companies. It .is Impossible for a
medical company to attend col
lege. Companies have no diplomas
or license to practice medicine in
Oregon or any other state. Medi
cal companies usually are named
after a doctor. ' A portrait, whose
personality and , Identity are in
definite. Is selected and published
as the legitimate specialist of the
office. Hired substitutes, ordinary
doctors with questionable . ability,
give consultation, examination and

NO MONET REQUIRED TO
COMMENCE TREATMENT. Many
patients have no confidence In
their doctor because he demands
pay before a cure has been effect
ed, and there are many who have

treatment have become skeptical
and think there is no cure for
them. I want an opportunity to
treat such cases. ' It make no dif
ference about the financial part,

science. This new remedy has

sands of cases. Let me explain It

Do You Suspect
Your Kidneys ?
Pain in the back is not the only
symptom of kidney trouble. A much
more frequent indication is greneral
weakness while other common
symptoms are furred tonerue, dis
taste for food, headache, and great
depression of spirits.
When the kidneys fall in their
work impurities inevitably return
to the blood, and that Is the begin
ning of gravel, stone, rheumatism,
and Bright's disease. The liver, too,
will suffer, and through it the whole
digestive system. For 34 years
