NQTSO BAD AS THOUGHT Damage to Columbia River Jetty Will Not Interfere With Im provement WORK IS TO BE PROSECUTED Just as' Soon as Possible Engi neers Will Mke Repairs to Those Portions Car. ried Away. Major tangfttt JAssed through the city yesterday after havtotf made an examination of that portion of the Jetty which wa carried out by the big storm of Monday. The examination was not thorough, but It was extensive enough to convince the head of the local en gineer that the gaps In the long break water will not materially delay work It was at first reported that the Jetty had been badly damaged, but this state ment appears to have been Incorrect. Those portions of the Jetty which were carried out by the big storms were of framework and had been used for transportation pur poses. The two gaps are about 2000 feet in length. One hole was smashed In the breakwater half a mile from the outer end. while the second break oc curred a mile nearer shore. The outer portion remained Intact, and, as this Is used for extension purposes, the en gineers are satisfied at not having lost It. That portion remaining Intact at the outer end 1 about 2000 feet long. It was better able to withstand the fury t the elements and held even after the other portions went out The Isola tion of this portion of the Jetty wl!l result in some inconvenience, but the engineers are confident they will be 'able to make connections before an other storm comes up. , There seems to have been no Justi fication for the statement that the dam age would necessitate the suspension of operations. Just s soon as Super intendent Hegardt can do so, he will make further examination and submit a scheme for repair of the damage done. This, it is confidently believed, can be accomplished without difficul ty, and the work of extending the Jetty will go on. That, portion washed out was not filled, and the heavy seas made short work of the framework. The substantial portion held nicely and the gale made no impression upon it . It Is the desire of the engineers and everyone else Interested In harbor Im provement . to put the Jetty in good 'shape, for more extensive work next year. . The last congress made no ap propriation of Importance, but at the next session the Columbia river will be cared for. With a new appropriation available the engineers hope to sue cessfully solve the bar problem. I2S.269.47.
