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.

SALE OF .LABOR TtMPLE
Seattle,. Feb. 1. Sale of the labor
temple property, on Pike street; bas
been enjoined by the Retail Clerks'
Union by suit In the superior court
thereby stopping tor: the present the
announced disposal of the property.
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. The considera
tion was to be paid $20,000' in cash and
the remaining $10,000 by the assump
tion of a mortgage for that amount on
It was
stated that a deposit had been paid
upon the sale; and that the transfer
would be completed as soon as a dls-
