PAGE SIX THE MORNING ASTORIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1904. 1 THE DREDGE r IS DEFAMED Oregonian Avers Chinook Has Not Provided Increased ; Depth on Bar. LAME PLAN TO GET1 MONEY Believed Here Official Survey Will Show Much More Water S Since the Advent of the Foriuer Transport. Jn an effort to emphasise the abso lute need of an appropriation, by the present session- of congress, for Im provement of the Columbia river bar,; ths Oregontan has found It necessary to defame the dredge Chinook and to ridicule her accomplishments at . the mouth of. the. Columbia river, . W. Wright was down last week to secure the necessaryjlnformation" and a re sume of his findings appeared In Sun day's Oregonian. , According to the narrative related by Mr.. Wright, there Is no more water at present on the Columbia river bar than there has heretofore been. He says soundings, were made , when the big bark Andorhlna was towed to sea, and that the depth shown entirely dis proves the "highly colored report sent out from Astoria" concerning the work of tie Chinook. ,, Mr. Wright concludes that the Chinook can not be relied up on to furnish the necessary depth, but that it must, be secured by means of an extended Jetty. .- The Chinook's work at the river's mouth Is likened to the efforts of one small man affected with pulmonary tuberculosis and other wise' phlsically incapacitated, to remove one very large mountain. If congress doesn't make the appropriation, the harbor will suffer Incalculable Injury, the Oregonian Write says. The, statement, made that the Chl noo.bas notjncreased the depth on the bar Is not In harmony with state meata made by the pilots who Visit the rlves mouth every day.. Officers of the1: Chinook likewise-i state 'that the depth, has been materially increased since the aiivjJof the dredge-? ,vFor the - purpose of determining exactly Just ' what has been accomplished In this' respect, the tug George Men' xJell was assigned to make soundings, and ft is considered somewhat remark able that' the result 'of her' work' was not awaited before the defamation of the Chinook occurred. It is generally agreed locally that the Chinook can not provide permanent depth on the bar. This was not ex pected of her, nor is it expected of any other dredge now in the service of the government. Dredges are permanently located at different points 'and' their work Is never-ending. The opinion prevails here that permanent results can fee secured by extension of the Jetty but j the feeling is growing that the -dredge will provide sufficient depth for permanent maintenance by an extend ed jetty. It Is realized that there should be no lack of jetty funds, but the statement has been made at Wash Ingten , that the eivil sundry bill will contain the necessary item. - While the need for ample Improve ments funds is felt in all quarters, As- torians generally deplore the fact that the work of the dredge should have! been discredited In this manner. There is not the slightest question among local water fronters that the Chinook has accomplished good results, and that it should have been found expedient to discredit her in order to urge more forcibly the need for an additional bar appropriation Is regretted. nine days.

The sale was already held up by the Injunction of the Seattle Brewing A Malting Company against the Western Central Labor Union officials, but the labor leaders had expected to defeat that suit at the hearing by showing that the brewery company . has no In terest in the property. The complaint for the clerks union seta up that the union owns 60 shares of stock in the Labor Temple Association, of the pap value of $300. The papers in the case were filed by judge O. M. Emory, attorney for the clerks union, shortly before 6 o'clock. and a temporary restraining order ob tained from Judge Morris, ; The In junction bond was fixed at $1000, and was signed by James W. Morrison as surety. The hearing of the applica tion for e temporary Order of Injunc tion was set down for next Wednesday morning before Bell in the equity department. The complaint Is brief and recite.'' merely that the plaintiff Is a. stock holder; that the defendant corporation owns no property except the labor temple site on Pike street; that the Labor Temple Association threatens to sell the realty In question and convert the proceeds Into cash; that the plan tiff is opposed to such sale, and has notified the association of' its disap probation, and Its protest has been dis regarded. The trustees of the Labor ' Temple Association announced a few days ago that they had negotiated a sale of the property for $30,000.
