"A numbrr of minor repairs were
made during the year frMii appropria
tions for preservation and reixiir of
fortifications,
"During the fls?aJ year eight em
placements for U-lnch mortars and
three emplacements for eight-Inch guns
on disappearing carriages (two L. F.,
mixlol 1!0. and one experimental, imidel
1S!M) ha-e be'n completed anl turned
over to the artillery for care. All of
the mortar battery carriages are
mounted, but not the mortars. Two of,
the eight-inch carriages and guns are
mounted, the third carriage (experimen
tal) has not yet arrived, but the gun Is
on hand. For the eight-Inch battery
the wiring Is done, but the electric lipht
plant is not yet installed.
"Two additional 10-lnoh emplace
ments have been complot.d from funds
alloted from act of May 7. 1S9S. and are
now ready for the carriages.
"Funds alloted the latter part of the
year from act of July 7, 1S9S. provide
for four emplacements few six-Inch
guns on disappearing carriages and
four emplacement for 15-pounder
rapid-fire guns. At the close of the
fiscal year the sand has all been re
ceived and the work of reoelvelng
broken stone for their construction Is
In progress.
"O.ie additional concrete cable tank
and a torpedo storhrose have been
nstrueted during the year.

For Instance, in the report of General ;
Wilson. United States chief f engi-rw-rs.
there Is this statement regarding
th Columbia river:
"The season's work has benefited the
Improvement to the extent of affording
easy navigation for the Increased traf
fic, although no permanent results
have been obtained, and while the
shoil above Tongue point will carry ,
only 19 feet at low water, ships of even
greater dmft navigate the channel on
the higher stages of tide. Twenty-three
fvwt has been carried from Portland to
the sea by wh-at ships at different
times during the fiscal year."
Th? Oregonlan cannot ascribe this
Matem-m to "Astoria malice."
In describing the work at the mouth
of the Columbia this paragraph oc- 1
curs:
"A survey completed on June 28 ' (irano-.c.
shows a decrease in the depth of the """""""
channel of one foot, whic h limits the
depth of the channel across the bar to

These paragraphs contain the pith of
the Astoria pnpition. They need no
comment, save, perhaps, the statement ; Are a fe
