Newspaper Page TextTHE SUNDAY OREGOMAX, rOUTLAXD, OCTOBER 18. 1914. CHANNEL IS DEEPER Shoal Near Entrance of Co lumbia Expected to Help. CHINOOK MAY BE DOCKED Columbia, or Port of Portland Fleet, May lie Withdrawn Also -Mathloma Finds Upper AVilamette Free From Snags. . Forming at the entrance to the Co lumbia. River, well to tne northward of Xfie best depths of water. Is a shoal that has built up near the channel dredged by the Chinook so there is a scant 14 feet covering it, and has given rise to the hope that the influence of the new north Jetty ia causing an island to form that will serve as a natural jetty. From the outer end of the .completed south jetty at a distance of a quarter of a iriile is a channel with 31 feet as the minimum depth, according to the Sep tember survey. All details of the survey have not been made public, nor new charts driven out, but the formation of the shoal is admitted and scouring in the channel off the south Jetty continues actively. As the north Jetty is carried seaward changes may follow that wll eliminate the shoal, and, with scouring continuous on the north side of the channel, it has widened as well as deep ened since the June survey. It is con tended that the shoal can do no barm, and if it continues to grow higher only Kood can result in confining the flow on the bar so as to increase the effect of scouring. - Not since October 2 have conditions on the bar been such as to permit the dredge Chinook to work, and she has operated inside, in the vicinity of Flavel. It w ft s intAnrieri tit rAtlr the Chinook about November 1 and order her out of commission at the Govern ment moorings. So far as is known that plan will be followed, though no positive order has been received from Colonel McKinstry, who is in the East. The dredge Clatsop did a small amount of digging at Morgan's and Walker's Island on her way to Har rington Point to opevate for about two weeks. The Wahkiakum has been started and the Multnomah shifted up stream from the Tongue Point crossing, where she completed the new straight channel Friday. The Port of Portland dredges are kept going, but soon the Columbia is to be withdrawn so her machinery can be shifted to the new steel hull, which was completed early in the Summer and is lying at the public drydpek. The Willamette will be continued in serv ice and it may be decided to start the Portland out again. On the Upper Willamette the com bined dredge and snagboat Mathloma reached the new V heatland dyke Fri r ) q - ufmr on a av linfitrpnTn. hfl did not find a single place where it was necessary to "line over," though at similar stages of water in the past such assistance has been necessary. A piledriver crew has resumed building the dyke, as the work ceased for lack of funds when it was out 1000 feet, and 200 feet additional will be built. The Mathloma goes, to Independence as soon as relieved at Wheatland, and will work on all shoal bars. TARIFF LAW JLEiTS IX BIG CARGO French Bark Desaix Brings . Goods Valued at $18,742; No Duty Paid. - On 1120 tons of general cargo from Hambursr, entered here yesterday aboard the French bark Desaix, not 6 cents was paid in the way of duty, the assortment of coke, pig iron and fertilizing materials being admitted free under the new tariff schedule. though her cargo represented a valua tion of $18,742. Under the old tariff there would have 1 been duty collected on coke amounting to 30 per cent of its value, which in this case is appraised at $1198 and on pig iron the duty was $2.60 a ton and the Desaix brought 700 tons. Such fertilizer as she carries also was free under the former act. Numerous other cases have been shown since the schedule became ef fective last August that account for customs receipts for the year being $110,215 short of the 1912-1S period. Up to the European -war there was steady and healthy commercial growth and the shortage is attributed solely to the tariff amendment. For the same year Oregon's exports boasted an In crease of $400,000. Now, more than at any other time, the elimination of tar iff on so many Imports is felt as con' slgnments from abroad are limited. Consequently revenues are materially curtailed even with the payment of duty on such articles as remained on the list to be taxed. LOCKS TRANSFER STEP NEAR New Deeds for Gates at Oregon City Are Being Drawn Vp. The next move in the negotiations for the transfer of the locks and canal at Orepon City from the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company to the War Department is to forward a new deed, the form of which was indicated by Washington officials when they re turned the papers about two weeks ago. It is understood that officials of the company have agreed to the change and that the papers are being worked on. At the ofice of United States District Attorney Reames it was said that the Department had done all in its power to facilitate the proceedings and that everything was now up to the com pany's representatives. Since the riv crs and harbors bill appropriations have been alloted United States ensri neers are anxious that the locks be taken over, while shippers have had their hopes of a , reduction in rates through free locks revived. ECCLESIA XEARS THE CANAL South Pacific to Begin Working Wheat Cargo Tomorrow. It is thought that the British steamer Eeelesia is nearing the entrance of the canal on the Atlantic side, bound here, snti officials of the Portland Flouring Mills Company, which loads the tramp, are hopeful that she will not be held by the slide there. The British steam fr South Pacific is in the horbor from Newport News, having come via th can.il in ballast, and a report should be received today of the British steamer Ventura de Lorrinaga, which is due from the same port. The South Pacific should begin load ing at Montgomery dock tomorrow an as rapidly as ships can be accommodat ed they will be dispatched, in most cases without regard to lay days. Ex porters are anxious to clear docks of frrain that has accumulated so more can be moved to tidewater from ante rior warehouses. FRENCH BARK LOADS GRAIN on Way to Linnton. BaUour.

NORWEG1.4M BARK SPAKTAX. - Arriving at Astoria Thursday, the Norwegian bark Spartan put to sea Friday with ft full cargo of wheat, shaping her course for the English Channel. ' " Some speculation has been indulged in regarding the actual destination of her cargo and the probabil-' ity of decided chanses taking plaae in the European conflict before she is sighted off the English coast. Since the vessel sails by way of Cape Horn, she may be longer than four months making1 the voyave. Meanwhile cargoes dispatched on tramp steamers via the Canal will be landed before she is well on her way in the Atlantic. - " French bark General de Boisdeffre yes terday, according to cables from abroad, and It is supposed the rate Is about 29 shillings, as the latest pre vious charter was at that figure, while at least one ship was offered at 20s 6d. The General de Boisdeffre sailed from Newcastle, N. S. W., July 27 for west coast port and comes north im mediately. The steamer Ocklahama arrived up yesterday with the French bark Desaix. which was berthed at the rvorth Bank Dock. The towboat left again for Astoria to bring: up the Norwegian bark Marosa, and she goes to the Clark & Wilson mill at Linnton to discharge ballast. The Semantha is to shift to morrow from Linnton to the harbor to begin working cargo under charter to the Portland Flouring Mills Company. CANAL . TO BE OPEN MONDAY Grace Fleet Officials Get News From Agency on Big Ditch. In a telegram from the San Francisco headquarters of W. R. Grace & Co., re- eived yesterday, it was said that ad vices from the company's representa tives at the Panama Canal were to the effect that the canal would be open for the passage of vessels tomorrow morning. The news caused surprise, as it was not supposed that vessels would be permitted to pass through for & week or ten days, this being the estl mate of Colonel Goethals. Governor of the Canal Zone. At any rate shipping is not to be detained to a great extent, eave in the case of vessels near the canal, wnich may be held for a few days, fahlpmas ters report that the rule has been not to lock vessels through after 4 f. M. and before 8 A., M... so the intervening time could be utilized for dredging. It ia assumed that if the time of reopen ing has been advanced, ft ia through the construction of a temporary and arrow channel at the scene of the slide. 3IONTANAN MAKES GOOD RUN Santa Catalina Dne in Harbor to Discharge Monday.

COWLITZ IS NAVIGABLE NOW Gain of More Than One Foot Ex pected on Upper Willamette. Increased depth at the entrance to the Cowlitz River, that permits the steamer Joseph Kellogg to make Kelso regularly once more, has opened the way for the little sternwheeler Ches ter, smallest of her class on tne giooe, to resume operations up the Cowlitx from Kelso to Castle Rock and Toledo. She makes her first trip today, after having been tied up since July. Captain A. vv . Graham, of the yel low Stack fleet, says that the prevail ing rain should bring the Upper Wil lamette to a two-foot stage at Salem in a doy or two, the gauge there yes terday reading seven-tenths of a foot above zero. At Portland the river rose nine-tenths from Friday morning to yesterday morning, the stage being 4.3 feet above zero.

R1CKREAIJU Or. Oct. 17. (Spe olal.) Polk County prunegrowera have harvested a gmaller -crop than in ev eral years. Althouijh no figures have been compiled, an estimate place the yield at 611 per cent ot that of last season. The decrease, however, is offset by the increased ! OI tne prunes. The drlerg have nnlanea tneir work and Urge quntltteg of fruit are on hand. V A larner acreage' cominar Into bear. ins has kept the general county yield up to an average standard. I'or several years many acres of trees have been set out and more orchards bear fruit each season now. large areas about Rickree.ll. Dallas. Monmouth, Kalis City and smaller districts , have re ceived new trees in the last two year. Next to hopg. dairying: and grain, the prune industry yields more profit than other Induatriea. The movement to try out prunes In the county was be gun several years ago. when the farm ers in the hilly districts sought a crop that would thrive well in the hill eoil and bo profitable a well. Several varieties were planted and In a few years the fruit obtained from the young trees proved to be of a market, able quality. The success caused other farmers to act out orchard!. Red Soil Ia Ideal. The red soil proved to be Ideal for prunegrowlr.g and the acreage wag doubled eaoh season for several years. Small driers for Individual use were at first established.

Later the frosty weather hindered da- velojrment and It was then evident that the yield would be far below the aver age. There was no danger from pests at any time, however. The fruit commenced to aeveiop arly. The extraordinary slae is con idered due to the smaller number on the trees and the lack of rain. Yield Varies Greatly. In some sections of the county al most a normal yield - was obtained, while in others, where there was poor protection from the weather, less than a third of a crop was the result. Owing to the schools or tne county not starting until the third week in the month, a large number of pupils were permitted to assist in gathering the crop. The prunes were picked from the ground after the ripest of the crop had fallen voluntarily. The second picking was made later, when the trees were snaicen. nusnei ana nait-ousnei boxes are used in gathering the fruit. From 7 to 10 cents a bushel was paid for the picking. The Rlckreall district now has many acres in prunes, which will be In bearing In a few seasons. Each sea son sees new orchards set out. When the young trees have commenced to bear it is likely that additional space will have to be provided In the drying houses to care for the croj.. , Mount Fisgah, a large hill between Monmouth and Dallas, ia capped with great prune orchard. Other fields nearby In the hills have been put out to trees. Notwithstanding the decrease in the season's yield the growers have hopes of making the crop a profitable one. Since early in the Spring high prices have been expected. Borne contracts were made then at a high figure and the dried fruit now on hand is expected to bring in a large amount. 0SLI1I M.

Oslln M. Jackson, who for several years was wanted in New York on charge of fraudulent real estate transactions, is a free man, and the charge against him evidently has been dropped. Governor West today re ceived a telegram from the Governor of rew York notifying him that he had withdrawn the requisition for Jackson, and that the New York agent, who was sent here for him, bad been instructed to return home. Jackson was under arrest at Grants Pass. The former New York man was ar rested several months ago at Grants Pass by Ernest. Dennison and De tective Haas, of New York. It was charged that the arrest was illegal. and Governor West instructed the au thorities to arrest Dennlson and Haas and free Jackson. Dennison was con victed of a charge of attempting to extort money from Jackson.' He is fri leged to have informed Jackson that unless he was given money he would make an expose of the real estate man's transactions. 0 According to Miss Fern Hobbs. the Governor's private secretary, informa tion was obtained tending to prove that the original- charge against Jack son was a "frame-up." This informa tion and the evidence against Dennison and Haas were forwarded to the Gov ernor of New York, who, judging from his telegram, is convinced that Jack son is not guilty of the original charge.
