Soon after the out break of war Japan joined on the side of the allies and deprived Germany of her base in the Kast; she has insured the safety of the Pacific and the Indian Ocean, dispatched her warships even as far as the Mediterranean and afforded much facility to the allies for the trans port of war materials. "As resrard,?

Oct. 20. -Senator Chamberlain today asked the chief of engineers to order a survey looking to a 85-foot .-hannel In the Columbia River from the mouth to Vancouver. He was told the River and Harbor Board had been asked by" the .Secretary of War to sub mit a report on this item, estimated to cost S15.U00. The survey can only I be made by order of Secretary Baker, the chief of engineers saw. There, is an adverse report on file from the local engineer officer at Port land, who apparently does not under stand mat the 35-foot channel Is de sired from Portland to the sea, for his objection Is directed against a 85-Yoot channel to Vancouver from Portland, when there Is only 27 feet at points in the Lower Columbia channel. It Is understood the report forward ed by Colonel Zinn. Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., was based largely on the ad visability of undertaking a aa-foot channel project during the period of the war; also that it might be best to devote all energies on actually complet ing the 30-foot project on the Lower Columbia. As to the latter, there are a few places where less than 30 feet is said to be found at eittreme low- water, though there Is a tidal influence always, so that the condition really of fers no impediment to present-day navi gation. Another feature of the 35-foot Im provement Is that It would, of course, extend from Portland to Astoria, and a 30-foot project was suggested from the mouth of the illamette River to Van couver.
