Harbor Project Calls for Build ing Jetty. GOVERNMENT AID SECURED Development of Region Through In creased Shipping Facilities , Is Sought by Inhabitants of Hirer Valley. GARDINER. Or.. July ?1. (Special.) James L. Brownlee. of the United States Englneer'sOfflce. at "ortland, spent the latter part of last week In Gar diner gathering data preliminary to the survey of the Umpqua River Harbor In the near future, an appropriation for that purpose having been made, by the last congress. This survey will be the first step in the Improvement of the Umpqua Har bor, to consist chiefly of building a Jetty at the mouth of the river. The Port of Umpqua was incorporated In 113 with this end In view, and the proposal Is that the port bond Itself to build the Jetty, the Government to spend dollar fotlollar with the port In the undertaking. The Lmpqua River bar Is considered to be most easily susceptible to Im provement, and Jetty improvement on the north side at the mouth of the river would result In a deep-water har bor entrance, as the depth In the gorge opposite Winchester Bay Is 60 feet at low water, and the south shore line Is well defined and protected The cost of Jetty improvement should be very reasonable, aa the very best of materials, such aa lumber, piles. brush and stone that make up the greater part of the cost, can be most favorably obtained In' clmost unlimited quantities on the navigable section of the river. The conditions relating to the Ump qua River Harbor show that this har bor Improvement will aid in develop ing the Industrial resources of the sec tion and the manufacture and shipment of lumber by ocean vessels to the great markets of the Atlantic Coast and Mid dle West ststes through the Panama Canal, as well as to the Far-Eastern porta.

ELUSIVE SXAG IS SOUGHT Launches Damaged by Striking Sub merged Obstruction in Harbor. Three launches have suffered damage to their propellers, one also losing a shaft, because of a submerged snag off the Portland Shipbuilding Company's plant, and. though the Harbor Patrol launch scouted over the entire ares, no trace of the obstruction could be found. Harbormaster Speler proposes to use a second launch and sweep the vicinity tomorrow, as the obstruction is said to float about three feet beneath the sur face and Is dangerous to navigation, especially with launches that operate there so numerously. Snags have made their appearance several times during the past week aa the watetr gradually drops, and some logs towed from the channel have been sufficiently large to damage river steamers. Marine Notes. Workmen employed by the Wllsmette Iron 4k Steel Works are to begin operations to morrow aboard the stesmer Beaver, of the Big Three" fleet, in cutting through the 'tween -deck bulkheads forward and hanging doors, as provided in new Government regu la lions.

LUMBER SHOWS GAlfl Shipping Is Heavier First Month of New Season. DOMESTIC TRADE GROWING Improvement Believed Permanent and Shortage of Steamers Cre ates Demand for Car , riers on Coast. In opening the 1915-18 lumber sea son, the first month of which was ter minated vesterdav. Portland is shown to have made a gain over the total business floated In June of 3,849.835 feet. There was little difference in the total movement to offshore harbors over the preceding month. 5.753,363 feet valued at 60.180 being dispatched, while 6.848,227 feet at 90,525 was the showing in June. In domestic business there was a new spurt with a total of 15.929,800 feet, which Is the largest month's business from Portland to American ports since August, 1914. when 17,122.849 was sent away. Included In the domestic ship ments last month was lumber for New Tork on the Grace liner Santa Cecilia and a full cargo went to one non contiguous port. Pearl Harbor, on the steamer Klamath. There were 23 ves sels in all for American destinations. War Caused Depression. The Improvement in domestic trade Is not sudden and Is believed to be per manent. The year before the war the.re was a large amount of lumber sent to California that was used in the con struction of exposition buildings at San Francisco and San Diego, while there was other activity that drew heavily on the Northwest, but with the comple tion of the fair plants and a discon tinuance of building with the outbreak of war, shipments fell off. At the same time war bettered con ditions for vessel owners, so many that piled the Pactnc Coast trade having been drawn to carry cargo through the Canal as well as to South America, the Hawaiians and Australia, and only ships best suited for the diminished Coast trade ewetc held In service. With a betterfeeling in the domestic lumber market, small carriers that had been laid up were ordered into commission, and that was followed by an advance in rates both to San Francisco and Southern California ports. Now it is said by some dealers that more orders could be taken care of if steamers were available. Foreign Sblpmenti Heavy. The offshore fleet last month was headed by the steamer Henry T. Scott, which carried a deckload of lumber to Valparaiso, sailing-July 10, that meas ured 236.239 feet and was valued at 12448. The Japanese steamer Bankoku Maru was cleared July 12 for Shanghai with a full cargo of 4.307.268 feet at 339,582, and the schooner Wm. H. Mars ton cleared July 20 carrying 1.209,855 feet that was worth $18,150. SEW CAXAL SCHEDULE OCT American-Hawaiian Includes Bos ton as Regular Port of Call. In the latest schedule of the American-Hawaiian line. Issued yesterday. It Is provided that after the dispatch of the liners Nevadan and Ohioan from here this month, the Montanan will sail Sep tember 10 for Norfolk, New Tork and Boston; the Dakotan September 22 for New Tork and Boston; Honolulan Octo ber 4 for Charleston, New Tork and Boston; Iowan October 22 for Norfolk, New Tork and Boston and the Panaman November 9 for Charleston, New Tork and Boston. Through the service of that company and others operating here this port Is placed In touch with the principal ports on the Atlantic aide with regular ser vice and during the coming year great er gains are looked for through the Panama Canal. The steamer George Hawley, from New Tork by way of the Golden Gate, began discharging at Municipal Dock No. 1 yesterday and may finish Tuesday. She brought 655 tons of "teel for the Willamette Iron & Steel Works. 352 tons for the United States Steel Company, Pacific Tank & Pipe Company and the Crane Company, while 986 tons are for the Northwest Steel Company. CARMS XOW GOLDEN STATE Wpll-Known Coast Schooner's Xante Changed Before Sailing. There sailed from San Francisco yesterday- the schooner Golden State, a name which many mariners failed to recognised and some supposed It to be a new vessel, but Instead she was orig inally the Wm. r . Harms, ownea oy tne Rolph Navigation & Coal Company. The Commissioner of Navigation authorized the change in name last week. The vessel loads lumber on the river for South Africa, An arrival In the harbor yesterday was the brlgantine Geneva, which berthed at the North Pacific mill to load lumber for Sydney in the interest of the American Trading Company. Though capable of carrying 600.000 feet of lumber the vessel appears small, probably because of her two masts and the fact a brlgantine rig Is a stranger here. She was chartered at 85 shillings and It Is said she will make a second 2 t voyage from here for the same firm at 90 shillings. ' MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Steamer Schedule, DUB TO ARRIVE. Name.

EFFORTS WILL CONTINUE Fact to Be Emphasized That There Is No Connection Between Trag '. edy and Objectionable Fea tures of the Statute. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 31. Shipping; men . who have been planning; a campaign before Congress In the hope of bringing about the repeal or substantial amendment of the seaman's law, are apprehensive that the Eastland disaster at Chicago may operate against them, and be made the excuse, for refusing to make a change in the statute which has grown so unpopular, especially on the Pacific Coast and on the Great Lakes. However, the campaign will be pushed, iand efforts will be made to emphasize the fact that there is no connection between the sinking of the Eastland and those provisions of the seaman's law to which there is general objection. Were it not for the fact that Con gress is in recess, a Congressional in vestigation of the Eastland disaster doubtless would be ordered, and it is by no means certain that such an in quiry will not be ordered by the House of Representatives when it assembles. Particularly is such an Inquiry likely to be made if the investigations now in progress, both Federal, state and municipal, result in conflicting findings of fact, and if it be held by responsible investigators that the steamboat in spectors were in large measure re sponsible for the Chicago disaster. Beyond doubt, if Congress enters on an investigation of the sinking of the steamer Eastland, all legislation affect ing the shipping laws and all bills in tended to give relief from the seaman's law will be held in abeyance pending the findings. There was much senti ment, both real and artificial, behind the LaFollette bill during the last Con gress. Labor unions were strongly urging the measure, and will be defend ing It next session, and advocates of the law will be strqng enough to delay action on amendatory legislation for several months, and in that way may be able to prevent any change in the seaman's law for at least a year to come.

Tralti -vlles. chosen all-star third baseman on the interscholastic nine, is now playing with the Lang & Co. baseball team In the Wriitit s Ullsoa League. 111s auuiuuu this player has strengthened Manager Jack Osborne's crew and his team will now have to be recognized as a real contender for first honors. Irvine won fame while playing with the Columbia University squad, and It was his timely swatting that enabled his team to make such a strong bid for the Inter scholastic championship. The Wllsonville nine has one of the best batteries in the State of Oregon in Tom and Chick Baker. The work of this pair has more than put the team In the lime light and with the help of the Wllsonville fandom baseball In that town Is getting quite a boost. Chick Baker, the catcher. Is a brother of the second-string catcher of the Detroit Tigers, and with a little moro experience Chick will be following the foot steps of his famous brother. Tom. the pitcher, although a little old, would be a credit for any team around the Northwest. Since the disbanding of the famous Cairo Kola team there hns not been an amateur nine In the city to startle the amateur fan dom with forwarding results, with the pos sible exception of Manager ' Sol Rlchan bach's Harriman club. His team, which has played the fastest squads In the State uf Oregon, and with much success, was the only nine to rival the then famous Cetro Kolas, but since the disbanding of that team no suitable opponent can be found that can make the railroaders travel. . Much credit should be given Manager Durcoupe. of the Hawthorn Merchants, for his ability to get together such a strong squad of players as he has. Since the ad dition of Busher Blake, who has earned a reputation as an iron man In the box, his nine has been one cf the hardest teams in the city to her.t. Manager Durcoune also has a star catcher on his team in Shoots, and . with a heavy-hitting squad behind this star battery his team has climbed its way Into the limelight in a short time. Manager Joe Barr wilt take his Kenton club to Wllsonville today to meet the team from that place. Manager Barr will put his strongest lineup In the field to return home with a victory. Gnlvin and Powers, his star battery, will do the -battery honors for the visitors. COVELESKIE TO BE SOLD BEAVER HURLER TO BE SEXT TO CLEVELAND THIS YEAR.
