ASTORIA, OREGON, , FEIDAY, DECEMBKR 11, 1903. Report on the Columbia Jetty ; Major Langfitt's Annual Recortv mcndalions as to the Work Yet to Be Done.- -,. Major W. C. Langfltt's annual report vjupon the Improvement of the Wlllam ete river,- and of the Columbia river be low the mouth of the Willamette, and their tributaries, was, received this morning from Washington, D. C. The ;report has been published in book form !nd contains much interesting data rel ative to protected Improvements. Nu merous maps and illustrations accom pany the reading matter. Relative to the work under way at the mouth of the river the report says in part: ti Th operation's during the year nave resulted in the deriving of a part of the washed away portion of the jetty Jramway; the decayed plles ererWit off and spliced, new stringers .and, ties Wd, and the tracks put' In good order. At the close of the fiscal year this work had advanced to station 243--60, a dis tance of 1818 feet. This brings the out er end of the Jetty tracks within 640 feet of the end of the old work. Stor age platforms were constructed near station 162--00, and on Clatsop spit Btor age of material to be used In construc tion . It was found that the water sup ply .would be entirely inadequate for the new work, and three new wells were sunk to a depth of 81 feet, pumps installed and water pipe laid and a plentiful supply of excellent water has. been obtained. Three new lcomotlves were purchased,- new piledrlver-tender car built and 16 dumpcars added to the 80 previously built. 11 For the receipt of stone which ia de livered y rail a new system of tracks had to be Installed and new derricks Insomnia's Guro- Insomnia is generally caused by the overworked digestive organs trying to digest food at night which, they should have done during the day.

' Mirtdreader and Prices; Reserved seats 50 cents, opens Saturday morning "tHE OLD RELIABLE Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE constructed,, and. this plant at the close of the fiscal year Is In very satisfactory i conjui0ili and lt jg expected that 2500 tOjiis of stone per day may be convenien J enty- handled. The gaiters , and buildings have been put in repaff and two additional quarters constructed for use of the men. The office and com missary buildings-were moved back a distance of about 60 feet In the clear. Under the direction of Professor A. V Stubenrauch, assistant horticultural 1st, University of California, 100 sacks of sand-binding grasses, Ammophlla arenaria roots, and one sack of seed were planted on the reservation In a "nursery" where the drifting sands would not cover them, and In addition to this a number of roots were planted on Clatsop spit. It is the Intention to set out large numbers of these sand bearing plants on these spits, as well as In the vicinity of gun emplacements under construction, next fall, from the nursery, and gradually increase the area to be reclaimed. The board recommends the following project for the permanent improve ment of the entrance to the Columbia river, only brief excerpts being given from- the report:. , , .- :; , The existing jetty, hereafter called the south jetty, should be extended due ' West for a distance of two and a' half I miles unless impracticable depths, as hereafter noted, are encountered before that length of jetty has been construct ed. This work should be pushed sea- . ward as rapidly as practicable-. To produce a bar. depth of 40 feet and a channel of suitable width, not less than one-half mile, and to maintain lt perma nently, will require a nearly complete control of the ebb How across the bar. The construction of a north jetty is recommended at such a time as Its ne cessity becomes apparent, and in case the south Jetty nlone falls to produce j or maintain a permanent 40-foot chan I i, el. This north jetty should start from the most suitable point on Cape Disap pointment suth of Mackenzie head and run In a generally southwesterly direc tion across Peacock Spit,' following the line of least depths, but so located that j If nfceksary It may be without abrupt I change of direction ultimately extended to a point about two miles north of a point two and a half miles duewest of the present end 6f the south jetty.
