the North Pacific Lumber Company's
iock. will be loaded as Boon as Le
- Pilier has completed her cargo. The
luipleix is booked by Balfour, Guthrie

DECISIONS ARE BURDEN
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS . INTER
PRET SEAMAN'S LAW.
Provisions Discriminate Xgalnst
American Bnilt and Owned
Vessels Only.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 11. The Department of
Commerce and the Attorney-General,
acting 'together, are making theLaFol
lette seaman's law as burdensome as
possible on the American merchant
marine, through the medium of deci
sions interpreting the meaning and
scope of the act which becomes ef
fective November 4. Most of the de
cisions thus far rendered have dealt
with the obnoxious sections of the bill,
to which there is such widespread op
position on the part of American ship
ping interests.
In effect, the Attorney-General, sus
taining rulings of the solicitor for the
Department of Commerce, has held that
many of the objectionable provisions
of the law do not apply to foreign ships
flying foreign flags, which engage
American over-seas trade. In a more re
cent decision, interpreting section 13
of the law. these officials hold that
foreign-built ships. brought under
American registry by the last Congress
and now flying the American flag are
exempt from the operations of the new
statute.
This means that the seaman's law.
or certain of Its objectionable provi
sions, operate to penalize only Ameri
can built and American owned ships
engaged in American trade, both coast
wise and with foreign countries. Ships
built in foreign yards, and brought un
der American registry, are not on a
par with American built ships', though
both are American owned and both fly
the American flag:.
These opinions are actually received
with delight by American shipping in
terests on the Atlantic seaboard, be
cause American "shipping men believe
the decisions will aid them In securing
the repeal or radical amendment of the
law as it stands.

Centralla Bridge Contractor Gets
Contract for Work.
CENT R ALIA, Wash., Sept. 11. (Spe
cial.) The Lewis County Commission
ers have instructed A. L. Preston, a
local bridge contractor, to toegin work
at once on the construction of a jetty
on the Cowlitz River above Toledo. The
river, during its high stages, gradual
ly has cut away the bank and has sev
eral times threatened to inundate the
entire section near there. The farmers
erpeatedly have petitioned the Commis
sioners to order the improvement, but
it could not be done without the per
mission of the Federal Government,
which has just been received.
Mr. Preston also has been instructed
to repair the bridge at Harmony, w-hich

purchased many months ago by the
Great Western Railroad Company of
England, to a British port.
The Holtyd will soon arrive at Hamp

and harbor bill can be passed by Con
gress next session. Coming from Rep
resentative Sparkman. of Florida, chair
man of the river and harbor commit
tee, after he had consulted some mem
bers of the Administration, this warn
ing is significant, and probably means
all that Representative Sparkman said,
if not more
He went eo far as to say that the
bill would have to be confined to
projects on which work Is now under
way, and that no new projects could
be authorized, but he omitted to say
that some projects which are in course
of construction may have to be aban
doned because of adverse reports of
the Army engineers.
What is more, Mr. Sparkman did not
say, but left it to be inferred, that the
appropriations for existing projects
may have to be shaved below normal
because of the large amounts that m-y
be appropriated for National defer.re.
Defense to Rule, la View.
It- was Mr. Sparkman's opinion after
his conferences with Administration of
ficials, that all appropriations to be
made next session will be subordinated
to the appropriations for the Army and
Navy. These appropriations will, he
thought, be Substantially Increased and,
as National defense Is to be the prime
legislation before Congress next Win
ter, the Administration will not want
this legislation impaired by too liberal
appropriations for other public works.
Therefore, the word will go. forth at
the proper time to hold down the river
and harbor bill, and it may be decided
to pass no public builc.ing bill whatso
ever, although this point will not be
determined until the Government esti
mates are compiled and have been stud
ied by the President and his Cabinet
preparatory to submitting the complete
list of estimates to Congress on De
cember 6.
If the river and harbor bill presented
to Congress next Winter makes provi
sion only for existing projects, the
Columbia River, the Willamette and
other projects now under way will re
ceive recognition.
Survey Reports Are to lie Made.
When Congress assembles It will re

Rogue River. Clatskanie River, Colum
bit River at Hood River, Columbia
Slouch and the Columbia River at Ken
newick, all of these prospective projects
having been Ordered surveyed by the
last river and harbor bill. -
The river and harbor bill seems cer
tain to encounter many obstacles at
the next session, other than the oppo
sition that will arise over the elimina
tion of new projects. There will be
protests If a general reduction in ap
propriations is made on the plea of
economy, and Congressmen backing
projects which are In course of con
struction will fight to have the full
amount recommended by the Army en
gineers. More serious still will be the fight
on behalf of projects now under way.
on which adverse reports are to be
made by the engineers.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, has served
notice of his intention to take river
and harbor improvements out of the
hands of Army engineers and transfer
it to civilian engineers.

Growt Northern Leaves for South
With Many Oregonlans.
The liner Great Northern sailed from
Flavel for the Golden Gate yesterday
afternoon with one of the heaviest
freight cargoes that has yet moved
southward via this line. Thera were
749 tons of freight in her hold, mostly
wheat. A merry throng of people were
at the North Bank station tt bid friends
good-bye in the morning, the scenes
of departure being more than usually
lively. A large number of Oregonians
were off on their vacation trips to the
big fair.
The ship's accommodations were all
taken, there being 637 on the list when
the purser reported from Flavel. Ex
President Taft was a passenger and
about 100 members of the American
Bankers' Association were aboard.
The Northern Pacific reported last
evening northbound with 423 passen
gers and 400 tons of freight. A dozen
carloads of sugar are consigned to
Portland.
ATJTO MEN HAVE 111YER OUTING
Sunday Excursion Trips to Oregon

The Portland Garage and Repair
Men's Association held an excursion on
the river last night on the steamer Jo

o'clock and returned about midnight
Dancing on the boat was a feature of
the .excursion.
The excursion season has almost
ended. The Oregon City Transporta
tion Company has announced that it
will discontinue Its Sunday excursion
trips 'and the O. W. R. Sr. N. Co. is to
withdraw some of its steamers making
the trip to the beaches. The steamer
Bailey Gatzert makes its regular ex

WEEK'S WORK IS BIG
Dredge Chinook Makes Good
Progress at River's Mouth.
150,000 TONS ARE MOVED
Depth of Channel Is Fast Increasing
and Shoals Are Rapidly Slough
ins Avrtty Record Is Con
sidered Good.
ASTORIA, Or.. Sept. 11. (Special.)
Notwithstanding the fact that she loot
24 hours' work on account of Labor day,
and was operating only 16 hours on
other days, the dredge Chinook had a
good week, anc" since last Tuesday
morning has tramped up and carried
out to sea slightly over 60.000 cubic
yards, or approximately 120,000 tons,
of sand from the channel across the
bar.
The United States Engineers, on their
survey last week, found a depth of 35
feet in the dredge channel, an Increase
of between nine and ten feet since ttfe
Chinook began operations there last
April.
When the dredging season is over
new soundings will be taken and they
are expected to show even better con
ditions. For Instance. a3 a direct re
sult of the deepening of the dredge
channel and the consequent turning of
a great body of water in that direc
tion, the shoal between the dredge
channel and the off-end of the jetty is
fast sloughing off.
During the past few days the depth
of water there has increased from 25.5
to 30 feet. This gives a channel over
3500 feet wide, in which the shallowest
water is more than 30 feet deep, while
the dredge channel, which is approxi
mately 1200 feet in width, carries a
minimum depth of over 35 feet. This
is by far the best condition ever known
on the bar.
