Old Friends Cannot Agree on New Kind
of Spelling.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-daeob A.
Riis and President Roosevelt are old
friends and thcv have worked together
for many year in the interest of re
form, but the simplified spelling of 300
words as given out by the simplified
spelling board and indorsed by Mr.
Roosevelt, have been too much for Mr.
Riis. President Roosevelt may approve
the new method, but Mr. Riis ha to
disagree with him for once.
Mr. Rii has just returned to his
home in Richmond Hill after several
months spent in Iowa,
"I could never be induced to use such
spelling," said Mr. Riis to a Times 'rep- j
resentativ yesteWay. -vnue i nave
every respect for the President and his
judgment in all matters, yet iu spell
ing reform I must disagree with him. 1
think he has been trapped into support
ing the movement. Hut then again,
vou see when a man gets to be three
score sis years, like myself, he can
not accept new theories. The President
is ten years younger than I am, yet
he has not reached the age of conservatism.

The pith of life, after all, is a good
feed. The good things of this life are
not as a rule easily found, so that it is
a pleasure to find so close at hand a
first-class up-to-date establishment,
whre one gets those good things at

WORKING ON WATER SUPPLY.
WASHINGTON', Sept. 22. An inves
tigation of the underground water con
ditions in Southern Oregon is being
made by the United States Geological
Survey, and a field party is now engaged
in the work in Central Lake County.
NEGLECTED COLDS.

the nose, throat, ears, head and lungs,

the deepening of the channel over thej
Columbia River bar, the Chamlier of I
Commerce has compiled statitics show
ing the depth of water at a few of the i
heading harbors of the world. The low )
and high tide stages are given, as fol
lows: Low tide, ft. High tide, ft.
San Francisco '....M 41.0
New York 30 34.5;
Boston 27 31. ft;
Philadelphia 24 2.S j
New Orleans 30 31.0
Galveston 27 2S.0;
With the exception of a few scatter
ing spots, the water over the Columbia
River Bar is more than 30 feet deep, ns
shown by the last survey taken by the
United States engineers. When tlie-e
knobs or shoals have been removed, it
will easily have a uniform depath of 31
or 3 feet. With that depth attained at
the low water stage, by by waiting f.r
high tide, it would be possible fur t;ie
largest ships afloat to enter the Co
lumbia River. The table shows that the
biggest carrieiM visit ports having no
greater depth of water. j
To get the bar improved at the ear-,
liest practicable date is the ambition
of the local commercial organizations. !
Officials of the Chamlier of Commerce j
believes that the best results can lie
obtained by inducing every taxpayer of;
the city to take concerted action, and
demand the necessary appropriation
from the government for carrying the

The State Legislature may be asked
to grant an appropriation of about
$300,000 for the operation of the dredge

mate that it will cost $80,000 to repair
her boiler and a like sum for her
maintenance a year. Members of the
Multnomah delegation are discussing
the matter, and it is said to be very
probable an effort will be made to get
a bill through the Legislature providing
for a liberal appropriation.
