The cofferdam about tha wreck baa been pumped out and the mud cleared away to greater extent than aver before.

This perfectly confirms the report and testimony which Ensign Powelson gave before an Investigating board after the disaster and which waa based upon re ports made to him by divers Just after the explosion. It Is Indicated by engineers here that such a tearing of tha ship's bottom could not have been produced by an Interior explosion. It Is further said that no regulation military mine could haVe wrought such terrific havoc. It must have been a huge mine, as Cap tain Slgsbee and others suggested at the time; perhaps a augar mill boiler or large cask loaded with explosives.

SHIP CHANNEL IS IN PLAN Extension of Trontdale Cutoff to Ba Built Two Railways Pierce Property 10 -Acre Lake to Form Inland Harbor. Rv tho acauisltion of an 800- tract on Sandy Road, a short distance east of 'the Rose City Park district, and by the control by options of con tiguous tracts of 1500 acres additional, involving an outlay of $1,000,000, a syn dicate of Portland capitalists an nounces plans for the most extensive development of suburban property that has ever been projected In Portland. In addition to the initial investment, it is expected that fully $500,000 will be expended within the coming year in improvements. The syndicate was or ganized by Hartman & Thompson. The general plan of the syndicate will be to develop a large area com prising one-acre tracts, to plat a sub division of standard-sized city lots and to establish a new factory center. Tha property extends to the Columbia River whera the syndicate controls about 1000 feet of water frontage. A channel will be constructed between the river and an inland body of water. An Inter ior harbor will be developed for deep sea shipping. Rail and 'vtater Near. - By the extension of a line from tha Troutdale cut-off of the O.-W. R. & N. and with the additonal service of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany and the Mount Hood Railway & Power Company, the district will be supplied with both rail and deep-water shipping facilities. The project is considered of supreme importance at this time as it indicates that the political situation and the financial situation of the country gen erally are to' be regarded of little con sequence In the rapidly-increasing growth and advancement of Portland. The confidence of the representative business men In the great future of the city is reflected In this enterprise. Members of the syndicate declare that the development of this large area along the proposed plans is prepara tory to the Immense Increase in popu lation and the great commercial and shipping business that will be brought to Portland through operation of tha Panama Canal. Acre Tracts To Be Platted. The part of the tract which will be Improved first is at the Junction of the Sandy Road and Columbia Boulevard. This is rich garden land and is con sidered excellent for one-acre home sltt!,. The purpose of this development is to supply the demand for large enough tracts where home-builders can raise much of their own produce and still have the advantages of the city. As soon as possible the electric line will be extended along Sandy Road to the tract. The tracts will be supplied with water service, electric lights and telephones. Sandy Road, which runs through the property, will be made 80 feet wide so that when the district be comes a part of the city proper, the thoroughfare will serve as a continu ation of the boulevard system. All of the property will be so subdivided as to conform with the general Btreet plan of the city. An early development will also be the platting of a large section of tho holdings Into lots of standard size. Streets are to be graded and modern (Concluded on Page 10.) Zzf HOt-DERS. Dig I I.
