WORK ON BAR
COMES FIRST
After That Is Finished It's Time
to Talk of Dredging Astor
ia's Upper Harbor.
SENTIMENT OF THE CHAMBER
Government Maintains Large
Fleet of Vessels at Astoria
and Merchants Should
Provide tpcfc for Tliein.
the extent to which the dredge
Chinook will he permitted to work In
and about the mouth of the Columbia
river was the subject of considerable
discussion at Monday night's meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce. While
the dredge was unable to work on the
bar during- the heavy weather of the
past winter (according to the calender,
the spring season has set in) she put
in her time deepening the inner harbor
and at many points effected material
improvement. But it Is hoped the
Chinook may be permitted to eventu
ally devote some attention to the up
per harbor, where she could do great
work.
The appropriation "for the Improve
ment of Astoria harbor," which was
available for many months, has, it de
veloped at the meeting of the chamber
been expended in the removal of the
Sylvia de Grasse reef. Astoria harbor
is therefore now without any fund for
tts improvement It will be recalled
that Senator Pulton has undertaken to
have Astoria placed in a separate im
provement district, distinct from Port
ind and the bar, and, while there will
be no appropriation for this purpose at
the present session, it is probable the
senator's effort will be successful, as
he seldom fails to gain his point
When Astoria is made a separate
Improvement district there will be an
appropriation for harbor work, and
under that appropriation the dredge
will be Enabled to work in the upper
harbor. Sentiment Is unanimous that
proper Improvnfent of the waterfront
means extension of all of the wharves
to the pierhead line and dredging of
Ihe channel beyond Its present north
ern conflnea The Chinook could pro
vide a wide and deep channel here,
and might eventually be utilized even
above the Tongue. Her Inner harbor
work has been very satisfactory, and
during the winter storms she Increased
the depth at many points from 12 or 14
feet to 22 and 24 feet
It was the general opinion of mem
bers of the chamber that the first
great task was improvement of the
bar. When the Chinook cuts a 40-foot
bole in the obstruction at the river's
mouth and an extended Jetty insures
the permanency of the Improvement, it
will be time to take up the matter of
inner harbor Improvement The big
vessel 19 a Columbia river feature and
there la ample time for her to make
all the improvements in this neighbor
hood which may be found necessary.
The return of the Chinook from Port
land, where her boilers are being re
paired, is anxiously awaited. Captain
Dunbar and all the other officers of
the dredge have repeatedly asserted
that they will provide 40-foot depth on
the bar with 30 days' good weather,
and those to whom the bar improve
ment seems the 'greatest of all public
works In Oregon are impatiently wait
ing to see whether or not the Chinook
will make good. Major Langfitt says
a few weeks will suffice to put the
boilers of the vessel In shape, and if
all goes well she should be back at
Astoria by April 15.
The fact was not chronicled in the
Portland papers, but It has leaked out
that the Chinook has had rather a dis
greeable experience since going there
for repairs. It appears she was moor
ed at an old dock, the piling of which
is rotten.' The big dredge broke
loose from her moorings and started
down stream at considerable speed,
and for a time It was feared she would
be damaged. Uy prompt use of six or
even anchors, however, she was
brought to a stop.
GOVERNMENTS LARGE FLEET.
Ten Vessels Heresnd Merchants Should
Provide Dock For them.
The rposal that a government
dJck be provided for the accomoda
tion of the government fleet at Astoria
is a matter that will receive the ser
ious attention of the Chamber of Com
merce. AstoriiU-s perhaps do not ful
ly appreciate the amount of money
whltf'n the government spends at this
port every month.There are three large
lighthouse tenders, Columbine, Mansan
ita and Heather; the bar dredge Chin
ook, the tug Mndell, dredge Ladd, tug
Major Gug Howard. Quarantine tug
Electro and customs tug Tatrol, and
the revenue cutter Perry.
the cost of maintaining this fleet
is very sreat the expenditures of the
Chinook aloie being in the neighbor
hood of $10,000 a month. The quar
antine station entails a monthly ex
pense of $1600, practically every dollar
of which is spent in Asiona. in
extent of the governmens maritime
interests Justifies the donation of
dock for the convenience of the ves
sels and the business men of the city
could well afford to provide the neces
sary wharf. The matter is to be given
the careful consideration of the Cham
ber of Commerce, which will hear the
report of its committee on commerce
and navigation at the next meeting.
