. Judge Bowlbywj:haJfniaa of lh
Chamber of Commerce commute oa
commerce and,' navigation, stated yet
terday Major Lengfltt had made very
liberal otter to the Attorta chwrr
with reference to deepening the channel
In the eastern' portion of the Aarbor.
The committee recently took up the
matter with the engineer department,
and Major Langfltt promised to have
i
survey and sounding made in the east
ern harbor a toon as weather condi
tions would permit.
i
"These sounding will show the ae-
. -
tual condtlon of the channels there,"
.... k ....
said Judge Bowlby yesterday, "and
i
give us an accurate Idea of what we
may expect to contend with. There
are two channels making across the
Columbia In the direction of Tongue
Point, although they -f terminate some
distance below the point. One Is the
Taylor channel and the other the new
channel which has only lately opened
again. The chamber has always be
lieved this last-named channel should.
be kept open. It strikes the Astoria-
shore some distance above the Taylor
channel and If deepened would not in
terfere with the depth In the eastern
part of the harbor. The government
has Interests at stake there, for Its
buoy, depot Is .located at the extreme
eastern end of the harbor. When th
soundings are made the engineers will
be enabled to tell just what will be re
quired to deepen the harbor above, and
Just what means will best subserve the
Interests of all concerned.
"The statement of Major LangBtt
that he will cause dredging operations
to be carried on in the east end harbor
is gratifying. The re-location of the
harbor lines there was not satisfac
tory, affording , practically no relief,
but dredging will give the, desired
depth without further extension of the
lines. We must aim to keep deep
water from the Tongue to the sea, and
I am satisfied Major. Langfltt will as
sist us in this matter,? , -j
Judge Bowlby said be had heard
nothing further of the bill creating a
separate district for, Astoria, The bill
passed the senate, but after reaching
the house was tost. It is likely the
measure is waiting Its turn, and that
In due course of time It will be taken
up and passed ' This as a matter of
the utmost importance to local shipping
interests, the needs of which demand
that Astoria be cut off from other Im
provement districts and the work of
improving the harbor be conducted sep
arately. TUG'S HAWSER PARTED.
Accident Occur While Tatoosh Is Tew

Of four vessels that tried to get to

steamer Harrison tried to cross out
during the morning, but when they
got as far as the bar they returned

promising.
