Tflegraihic advice from Washing ton city state that the government board of engineers that recently visit' ed tho mouth of the Columbia for the purpose of Investigating the manner of Improving the bar has recommended that a sea dredge be employed in the work. The navy department has plac ed the army transport Grant at the disposal of the engineers, and the work of fitting out that vessel will be comment at once. The necessary alteration will Incur an outlay of tlto.OQO. It is the Intention to Install machinery that will enable the Grant to remove 12.000 cubic yards ot sand In 10 hours, and. as she Is a very large vcss.d, the work can be prosecuted at almost any time of the year. Four or Ave months will suffice to prepare her for the new work. KTIITISH AND ARABIANS BATTLE Hard Fought Kngagement In Samona- land Two Officer Killed.

BERLIN, Oct. 18,Summlng up the situation, It may be said that the three day dlscussljn of the tariff bill In the Reichstag has rendered a failure of the measure more probable than ever. Chancellor Von Buelow' speech announcing the mcompromislng atti tude of the minister is regarded a Tho news of the determination of the bonird to use the ea dredge scheme was received with delight In this city, For two years there tias been a strong sentiment here In favor of this method of bar Improvement. Captain Cann be ng the leading advocate of the Idea While Captain Cann believes the work will b successful, he realizes that In the nature of .an experiment Other bar pilots share this opinion and all were planed with the an nouneement. Captain McVliar. when seen yester day, expressed satisfaction with the new ,ilan, and said he thought would result In nuch benefit. He wa of the opinion that, with the ca pacity of the Grant, the depth at the bar could be very materially increased a short time. Whether or not the niprovement will be a permanent one remains to be seen, but that some tem porary benefit will be derived is eer tain. ine mannr rf operating a sea dredge differ very nuch from that in which rlr dred-j"? have been opera t ed in the Columbia. Within the h.r bor and above Astoria the dredges have taken earth from one point and dumped It at another, with the result that there has been no real benefit. The sea dredsre will remove the sand from the bar and take It out Into very deen water, so th-U the work once done will not be undone, at lenst by the dredge. While the Washington Dispatch con taining the Information dees not re fer to the matter. It Is bellevel the en gineers hav not abandoned the jetty work, and that operations there will be resumed In connection with the new work. The board has been authorized to visit different seaports of the country to view the jrogress snd effect ot dredgmg, and whan work is begun, here the erslneers will be fully in formed. It Is he belief of chipping men that SO feet depth can be secured within a year. Every effort will be made to hasten hfi nutAttlnar of the Grant, ivlilch i now at Son Francisco. To this end It Is propose! to procure romping ma chinery which is tho duplicate or tne largest type now used on government dredges. The vessel Itself will require little alterations. If there Is no delay In procuring the machinery, the Grant will be ready to commence operations early next year. The dredging ma chinery will have a capacity of 23, 000 cubic yards of sand per day of 10 hours. The sand brought up will be deposited in huse bins aboard the Grant, and when these are filled the vessl will steam out to deep water and dump the sand and resume dredg- WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 18 What is probably the last full week of the anthracite coal strike closed today without anything developing to change the peaceful trend of event. All the locals nave selected repre sentatlve to the Wilkes barre gather ing. There seem to be little doubt but that the convention wilt tccept the offer of arbitration. There will be opposition in the con ventlon, but It is expected to disap pear after Mitchell explain the propo sition to the delegate. President Mitchell was asked tonight what he knew of the report that J. P, Morgan waa forced to intervene In the coal strike md In hi reply he said 'To my personal knowledge, Morgan has been trying o ettle the coal itrlke ever since he came back from Europe two months ago. If the other had been as fair and reasonable as Mr Morgan was, the strike would have been settled a long time igo. Mr. Morgan and Cawatt, of the Pennsyv vanla railroad were working for a set' tlement when President Roosevelt mad hi Ia.it and., successful juave. Mr. Morgan could not very well be forced to do something which be had been trying to accomplish for everal weeks. I make this lUtement in jus- tire to Mr. Morgan.

The Oregoniaa has compiled an ln terestnlg statement showing the value of the principal products of the state for the present year. The estimate for the nine leading Industrie exceeds 4t.000,000, or about 00 for every per son living In Oregjn. A will be ob served from the $2,000,900 valuation placed on fish, the estimate Is very conservative, and $50,000,000 would probably come nearer the ccrrtct fig ure. The production of lumber ha shown the greatest lncree.se, and the output wUI reach 1,000,000,000 feef.

Total . $45 050 000 It is Interesting in connection with this statement to note the excellent showing of Clatsop county as compar ed with the state at large. Clatsop ha about one-tblr'.y-fourth part of the population, yet it provides one fifteenth of the wealth ot the state this ysar. Next year It will doubtless produce fully one-tenth of the total wealth, for it least three great mills will be In operation which were not running thi year. Clatsop's proi-jction ot fish, not in cluding that vanned by Alaskan con cerns owned here, Is 12,110,000. Its lumber prediction tor ihe present year fill reach $665,000, while the value of llvestoik, grain, hops, fruit and dairy products will reach fully $300,000, or a total of $3,973,000. Next year the lumber product of Clatsop county will be worth about $3,300,000, taking into consideration only those mills 'vhich are to be built. The fish product will reach $2,500,000 valuation, while other industries will produce ab)ut $409,000. Thi will be ft total of K,200,000, or rather more than one-tenth of the wealth of the state. If other counties should do as well In proportion to population, the value of the total product of the state w ould reach r 200,000.000. ..KEWjrSKM-., ". rPr William. H.
