9 69,174 Annual Report on
Kiver and Harbor Work
Is Completed.
The survey ot June. 1917, showed
the governing" depths on the main chan
nel range to be 41 teet. as against 36
feet In June. 1916; on the south channel
rage to be 32 feet as against 31 feet
1m, June, 1916; and on the north chan
nel range, 30 feet as against 31 feet In j
June, 1916," says the annual report of
Colonel George A. Zinn, Corps of En
gineers. U. S. A., which went forward
to General Black, chief engineer, at
Washington, yesterday, regarding the
entrance to the Columbia River.
The report places the distance be
tween the 42-foot contours on the main
channel at 900 feet, while a year ago
last month it was 3600 feet. Indicating
a strong scouring. Great gains are be
ing made through dredging by the Chi
nook .and the effect of two jetties.
Though it is not treated in the report,
the June survey shows while there
Is 41 feet on the range, and that depth
governs for a width of about 800 feet,
there is a 40-foot channel 1000 feet
wide and for a width of 1300 feet there
Is a good 38-foot road.
The enrockment of the north Jetty
was officially completed May 7, 1917,
says the report. The length of the
trestle there in June. 1916, was 12,303
feet. During March 64 feet of the outer
end was carried away and in addition
to that being rebuilt, an additional 90
feet was added. The total quantity of
rock in the jetty June 30, 1917, was
2.946.449 tons, 660,307 tons having been
distributed there after the annual re
port of June, 1916.
Rock Coats $1 a Ton.
As to the cost of the last season's
work, Jt is shown that the stone was
purchased at SI a ton, delivered at the
Fort Canby base, and the combined cost
of purchasing and placing the stone
was 91.24. and ail expenditures on the
jetty during that period increased the
cit to $1,866 for each ton of stone.
In working at the entrance to the
kjlumbla River from July 1 to October
14. 1916, the dredge Chinook removed
814,516 cubic yards of material, and

the construction of a dyke at Slaugh
ter's, repairs to the Coon Island revet
ment and dykes at Martin Island bar

For the year 1916 the report shows
there were 2104 American vessels to
traverse the channel, both inbound and
outbound, while in the same class were
78 foreign vessels, the total net regis
tered tonnage represented being 2.
739,132 tons, and passengers carried
were 22,006 Inbound and 30,204 out

Cowlitz a training jetty 516 feet in
length was built at Huntington Bar,
less than three miles above the mouth,
which cost $1800.
As to the Upper Willamette River

net register, and 12.698 passengers
were carried during the year. In the
way of freight there was 663.183 tons
valued at $11,240,563.
The Yamhill River locks were op
erated for the passage of vessels 88
times and closed 44 days because of
high water. A total of 630 tons of
freight passed through.
The locks at Oregon City were op
erated 2156 times and closed to traffic
16 days, that being due to construction
work in connection with a concrete
wall being built to separate the Gov
ernment holdings from those of cor-
Tati
c.wrirc
trations. The number of passengers
rird through the locks was 7956.
CARGO MASTS SHORTEX TIME
Stevedore Says One-Third Saved
Unloading Lumber Prom Margaret.
In checking up what was accom
plished in the way of a saving in time
alone, not considering the fact fewer
.longshoremen were required in dis
charging the lumber cargo of the dam
aged auxiliary schooner Margaret at
municipal dock No. 1, W. J. Jones,
stevedore In charge, says the time was
fully one-third less than he could
have handled the material at an ordi
nay dock, the gain in speed being due
to the use of cargo masts on top of
warehouse B.
The Margaret is fitted with electric
winches and they are credited with
being unusually fast as compared with
some steam gear, and current was sup
plied from the dock circuit to operate
them. By means of carrying the falls
of the hoisting gear to the cargo masts
it was possible to swing the slingloads
of lumber from the ship across the
dock, a distance of 60 feet.

erations. Forty contracts for life

both rail and water frontage. Besides
manufacturing lifeboats, it will also
have a department for the building of
ship ventilators.

At that the approaches and lower
dock must receive considerable atten

age done by the freshet. The Tahoma,
of the People's line, leaves that dock
tomorrow on a resumption of the Port-
land-The Ialles service, having been

SEVEN SOLD CUNARD FLEET
Dragnet of United States Shipping
Board Emergency Fleet Corpor
ation Will Make Good
Haul - in Oregon.
Determination on the part of General
Goethals, manager of the United States
Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, to take over tor the use of
the American Government all foreign
vessels uncompleted at American yards.
will have some effect at Portland.
The Northwest Steel Company has
three contracts for Norwegians, five
others that were first placed by Scan
dinavian Interests having been sold to
the Cunard line. Of eight ships Nor
wegians ordered at the Columbia River
Shipbuilding Company's yard, seven
have been sold to the Cunard fleet. Six
steamers ordered at the Albina Engine
& Machine Works are for Danish and
Norwegian account. Two - auxiliary
schooners built at the Peninsula Ship
building Company's yard, known as
the Eris and Esperanca, were sold to
Norwegians, two others being finished
there having been .disposed of for the
Atlantic trade. The first two are yet
being fitted out and should be ready to
leave soon. - .
The auxiliary schooners Astrl. sold
to Norwegians, : and the Madrugada,
sold to Brazilians, are the only ones
from the McEachern yard, at Astoria,
disposed of to foreign Interests. It is
understood they were sold with no
guarantee as to register," the same as
the Penimula ships, so it is a problem
for the new owners to obtain the sanc
tion of the United States Shipping
Board before moving them out . of
American waters.
As to yards accepting more Govern
ment contracts, those which have not
closed for Federal business so far as is
known, include the McEachern Ship
Company and Wilson Brothers, at As
toria; Somarstrom Brothers, at Colum-
I bia City; the Columbia Engineering
Works, at Linnton, ana the Klernan &
Kern Shipbuilding Company, foot of
Mill street.
Government contracts on wooden
ships awarded along the river number
40, with 20 from the French govern
ment, while the latter has placed con
tracts also for six steel steamers. In
addition for private account there are
six wooden ships afloat, being finished,
and about 15 either on the ways or
contracted for. Twenty-seven steel
Ships are building or contracted for.

Charged with stealing $80 in cash,
a diamond ring and a quantity of
clothing from Ida Carr and Agnes
Johnson at the Clyde Hotel July 12,

youngf 'bloods from Seattle, were ar
rested at San Francisco yesterday, ac
cording to telegraphic advice received
by District Attorney Evans. They are
held for the Portland officials and a
deputy will leave today with requisi
tion papers to return them to Port
land. According to a sworn affidavit filed
by Miss Carr, the girls missed their
clothing-, money and Jewelry upon their
return to their room in the evening.
Pinned to the bedclothes was a note
which said:
"We told you we were 'slickers,' so
if you want your clothes send us 25
to general delivery, San Francisco."
The girls sorrowfully admitted that
Herbst and Henderson might be "slick
ers," but immediately got in touch
with the District Attorney's office
with the result that the young men
were arrested as they stepped off the
boat at San Francisco. They had the
girls' effects with them when arrested,
it was said.
