The report of the board of engineers appointed lo recommend plana for the Improvement of the Columbia river bar Is gratifying in the extreme. It the boar J nad been male up of residents of Astoria the recommendations could not possibly have been more tn line with local opinion. ' It is evident that the engineers comprising the board " knew exactly what they were about when they entered upon eonsid (ration of the matter, and that they ex- erolsei more care in the formulation of their report than is customarily observed by boards of the kind. "Work .along the lines suggested by the board can be undertaken with every assur ance that It will permanently deepen the entrance to the Columbia river and restore to this harbor its erstwhile prestige. The Columbia river bar is a sand flat some miles in extent, and lies from four to six miles beyond a line drawn from the northwestern corner of Ore gon to the southwestern extremity of Washington. The present jetty, pro jecting from the Oregon shore, runs along this bar for sosne distance. Be tween the- "Heads" there is a depth varying from 45 lo 90 feet, the shoal or bar being far out. It has often been contended that' the south Jetty has merely had the effect of forcing out the bar, and this expres sion has frequently come from suppos edly veil-posted persons. . But the bar is now in precisely the same position that it has always occupied. The en- glneers at the mouth of the river make frequent and careful surveys, and their blue prints for SO years past show that the bar has not been forced out a single foot. This fact is of Import ance as demonstrating that a channel must be cut through the bar, and that relief cannot be looked for by forcing the bar out to the "Jump-off' two and a half miles beyond the outer end of the present Jetty. It is not difficult to understand what effect the extended south Jetty will have. Everyone knows that the south channel is the natural one, else there . would not be the greatest depth on the Astoria side of the river. One Jetty will not contract the channel, but it will serve as a guide for the water and thus Increase the depth. To secure the desired depth it may not be neces sary to build the Jetty out to the edge of the "Jump-off' which, by the way, goes down at an angle of almost 45 de grees. The currents running along the coast from the south have had the ef fect of counteracting the results that would otherwise be obtained from the outward flow of the river, hut an extended Jetty will serve as a barrier to these currents and permit of the cutting of a channel. The engineers have recommended that the south Jetty first be extended. They appreciate that this lead may bring a 40-foot depth, and that, even if it should not do so, a full length south jetty will be essential to the pro posed spur from the Washington shore, the necessity for which will In due time be determined. It is our belief that an extended south Jttty will be suffic ient, but in any event permanent dopth can centainly be secured with two jet ties. The dredge may bring some temiorary relief, but we have little faith In Its utility. Deepening of the river entrince rests with jetties, and we are very much pleased with the board's report. It Is also gratifying to know that the jetty Is in shape for the immediate resumption of operations nnd that thire will be no delay other than "that necessary. And now a concluding word to As torian and Or.;gonlans generally: Don't knock! We must have 40 feet depth at the Heads and the recommen dations of the board will, if approved, secure it. Any effort to discredit these recommendations will serve to retarif the progress of the work. Let us fol low the advice of one reasonable Port lander George Taylor Jr. who per haps unwittingly scores the Oregonlan when he says: I am very glad to see that the board of engineers has agreed on a scheme of Improvement for the mouth of the Co lumbia. It is cause of congratulation for UNIONLABE all our business interests. Now. that the engineer, after a careful examina tion of the field, nnd upon mature de liberation, have recommended this plan, I hope we shall have no districting fault-finding or even eounter-suitKv-tlons from laymen. One of the fac tors that has produced so much delay was the scattering nature of our efforts for the improvement: we did not con centrate on anything. I hope every clll xen will now pitch hi and give the pro posed Improvement unqualified support. I have bo doubt that the plan recom mended will produce the desired re SHilts., but If I had doubts I would keep them to myself . - Action, not discus sion, is what we want. When theatrical enterprises wish to test new play they take it out to Siime of the smaller cities for Its first performance, where the smoothing pro cess developed in the acting of it can be accomplished, says the Atlanta Con stitution. This operation they uit! "trying It on the dog." New Zealand seems to be the land of "the 1o," where new; experiments in government are getting the trial trips, if we are to judge by the-number and variety of the attempts to introduce and operate there the many more promising f-ula of legislation. Already the schemes of many reformers have had more or Ks successful trials In that country, and now the single tax on land Is being given a serious experimentation. The theories of the late Henry George caught on strongly in that country and have resulted in the passage of a local option act which permits any of the local governments to adopt the "land value system" of taxation for a period of three years, after which the tontlnu anee or discontinuance of the system is to be again passed upon by the vot ers. "Shirty-six local communities, in cluding the city of Wellington, have adopted the plan. Statesmen all oer the civilized world are taking notice of the farts and are watching with inter est what shall be the practical effects of the experiments. There ap;-ais to be no question that the system e:ual-j izes the burdens of local and state tax-1 atloa as no other method has hereto fore done and that it puts a lanre and tangible premium upon enterprise in the way of improvement, lioth In the cities and In the country. Voder it ev ery owner of aVtown lot or fo.-m h taxed upon the assessed usable value of his property, as affected by its surroundings or productivity, and he must either make it produce according to that valuation or else pay a tax that is a heavy levy on his self-diminished It appears that the Oakland (Cal.) dispatch with reference to Kipling's refusal to permit a ladies aid society there to use portions of his works for charitable purposes failed to convey the important information that Kip ling's business arrangements made the concession impossible. The San Fran cisco Argonaut therefore pokes fun at The Astorian for denouncing what certainly appeared to be a churlish display on the part of the-British pu-are operated so as to make close con thor. Now, wouldn't it be more con-; neetions with diverging lines at all i Junction points. sistent for the esteemed Argonaut to oren the vials of its wrath on Its Cal - ifornia newsvenders, who sent out the! ..... . , , , ' mformation that prompted undeserved j censure of Kipling? 1 If the creditor nations In the Vene zuelan squabble fel .hat they would like to mix matters with their weight in wildcats, our Mr. Bowen can be re lied upon to provide the animals. Now that the city of Astoria has stolen its own park fund, it ought to have itself arrested for embezzlement.
