Moored at Martini dock la the dredge
Chinook, the largest vessel of the kind
: in the world. She arrived from As
toria yesterday afternoon at i o'clock.
. making the run up the river layabout
' right hours. The vessel came up, from
the- mouth of the river to have ber
boilers repaired. Until the contract la
let for the work the big: dredge will re
main at her present moorings. Bid will
, be advertised for in a few days. It Is
' estimated that the necessary repairs
can be completed la two or three weeks,
. and that she will be in ship-shape condi
tion by the time the weather settles so
' that she can be operated steadily. The
decks, machinery and all the interior of
the Chinook, are clean as a pin. -Until
recently the Chinook was the
' United States transport Grant, in 1900
he u brought from New York to San
' Francisco by way of the Red Sea, touch
ing at the Philippines. During the three
year following she plied regularly be-
tween the Bay City and Manila, carry
' ing troops and forage. At that time she
was equipped for handling 2,000 passen
gers and about J. 000 tons of cargo. Last
year the transport was taken to- Mare
TIsland navy yards and converted into
dredge for the sole purpose of being op'
era ted .at the mouth of the Columbia
river. . She was practically rebuilt, and
the work was completed only last Oc
tober. On November i she reached As-
torla. but as the stormy season had al
ready set In It has been at very rare in
tervals that she has been able to do
anything.
The dredge has made sufficient trips
across the bar, however, to demonstrate
the fact that with good weather she will
soon accomplish the object for which
she was sent She gathers up gravel and
Rand through two large suction pipes 20
inches In diameter. These pipes feed
two bins of a capacity of about 4,000
ruble yards, but as the distance across
. the bar 1b rather limited this amount is
. not takea The suction pipes are kept
i working to their full capacity, but when
the sea Is reached- the bins contain about
2.000 cublo yards of sand and gravel.
Underneath them are IS gates which are
opened when deep water is reached and
: the cargo Is discharged. It requires only
about 18'mlnutes to dump -the load and
the vessel Is then ready to return and
make another trip. ' On account of the
v continued bad weather since her ar
rival It has been impossible for the
dredge to get in a full day's work, but
. it is estimated that she can make fully
, five trips a day. At this rate she will
be able to remove 19.000 cubic yards
of sand from the Columbia river bar
each day. By two or. three months'
steady operation It is believed that the
much-desired 40-foot channel at the
mouth of the river will be an accom
plished fact '.', '
Vry few steamers which have been
In port this season are as large as the
Chinook. Her dimensions are: Length,
44S feet; breadth, 49 feet, and depth. 14
feet When loaded she will draw 24 feet,
and light 20 feet Her gross tonnage
Is 6.690.

-finishes Discharging Cargo and Walts
Chartering.
After working two weeks the cargo
of the British ship Thistlebank, which
is lying at the Fine-street dock, has
been - discharged. .- Although she was
loaded ' with only about 1,600 tons of
cargo the work of unloading It was
considerably - prolonged on account of
the. continued rainy weather. Fre
quently the men were unable to put in
more than two or three hours a day.
The Thistlebank Is still on the dis
engaged list but it Is understood that
she wilt soon be closed. The owners,
however, prefer a wheat cargo, but at
present there appears to be no business
for a spot ship of this character.
The war in the orient, contrary to
the expectations of many of the own
ers, does not seem to be having any
effect on charter rates. The quotations
remain at about the aame figure which
was reached two months ago. "Twenty
shillings is still the prevailing rate at
the northern ports, with few offers,
while at San Francisco it is about five
shillings lens. - There has been but one
vessel chartered at Portland (or new

(Journal Special Berrlce.) -
Walla Walla, Wash., March 14. To
morrow is the date appointed for the
hearing of the William ReUer land case
In the United States land office here, and
a large number of holders are looking
forward anxiously to the decision of the
officials In this Instance. . -
The case owes Its origin to the pol
icy which is lately being followed by
the federal government-in requiring a
strict fulfillment of the letter of the
law by which a man can claim home
stead, or obtain government land In any
way. Formerly there was not so strict
a construction put on these requirements
and many 'people are said to have -filed
homestead claims who cannot pretend
to have lived up to the law relating
to such matters at all. Now the titles
of these holders may be contested, and
are being questioned in many cases,
The history of the William Retter
case has not only a wide Interest lo
cally, on account of the personal pop
ularity of the men who are Involved,
but a large national Interest, as well,
because it shows the determination on
the part of the department of the in
terior, at Washington to even disallow
the rulings of the local land office. If the
facts seem to the authorities there to
prove that the law has not been ful
filled, in taking out certificates for land
from the government-
riling-s at Eltopia.
A few years ago quite a number of
men in this city, ell of whom happen
to be connected In some way with the
saloon 1 business, ' filed entries on some
land about seven .miles northeast 'of
Eltopia, and shortly after the required
period of six months had elapsed, in
1S02, they made commutation proof,
which was accepted by the authorities
of the local office, - John M. Hill and
Thomas Musgrove, who have since left
that office.
The claims were contested on- the
ground that the men had not lived on,
or Improved their land at all. The most
of them had business here, whlcn they
attended to, and which required their
continuous residence here.
Special Agent-Sidney Miller, of Low-
iston, Idaho, Investigated the case, and
on his representations the department
of the. interior decided to disallow the
proofs, but granted the claimants the
right to appeal from this decision and
Show why they should be allowed the
land. All the claimants appealed, and
it Is one of these cases' which is to be
heard tomorrow. As the circumstances
of all the holders are alike, and If Ret-
ser's claim is disallowed, it Is probable
that all will be. A similar case, that
of George Retser. was tried a couple of
months ago, and the authorities have not
as yet pronounced their decision on it
Department Very Active.
The interest which the department
is taking In thees matters can be seen
from the fact that It is not necessary
for the name of a complainant who con
tests such titles to be mentioned at all
or even, it Is said, for the department
to Know his identity. Bven an anony
mous letter giving a hint to the author
ities that the law has not been lived
up to, will bring a Visit from the special
agent; and If he finds that the facts
warrant an investigation, he will con
test the claim In his own name.
The motive of those making these
complaints to the department Is proba
bly in very few cases personal spite.
Those who have lived up to the require
ments of the law. and have the inter
ests of the section of country at heart
ratner resent, it is true, to see other men
gaining wealth on land made valuable
by their efforts, as it must since the
mere settlement of the region Increases
the value of the land, while those hold
ing claims such as these are said to be,
have done nothing by which they should
gain this wealth. But there is the de
sire to have the district taken Up by
residents anyway on account of the
advantages accruing to the neighborhood
in me way of improving the facilities
for transportation, for education, for
"trading" labor, and for social inter
course. , All iese are hindered if a
non-resident owns the land and has no
interest in his property other than the
profit which he expects to make out
or it. ,
A further question has been mooted
of whether those who have taken these
commutation proofs have not been ren
dering themselves liable to prosecution
tor perjury, on account of the oaths
required when such a title Is obtained.
It is not expected, though, that the au
thorities will push the matter anv fur
ther than simply to deprive the holders
or tneir land, if it is found that the
requirements of the law have not been
rujniiea.

'The establishment at Portland of a
bonded warehouse for the United States
internal revenue service," said David M.
Dunne, collector for the district "will
fill a much needed want in the north
west and will mean much to the business
Interests of Portland and the state. The
internal revenue service has no bonded
warehouse in the northwest at the pres
ent time. The nearest Is at San Fran
oisco." ... . .
Further than the notification that a
warehouse is to be established at Port
land, Collector Dunne has received no
Information regarding the institution
and is, therefore; not in a positlonto
give out particulars.
"It will be for the sole purpose, of
storing liquors and wines, subject .to
tax." . he ' said. .
Throughout the country bonded ware
houses are few in number. In Kentucky,
where a great deal of whiskey Is dis
tilled, there are several. Their establish
ment and management Is un.er the juris
diction of the treasury department
By means of the bonded ' warehouse
system manufacturers of liquor may
store their products and are not obliged
to pay the revenue tax untir the whis
key is taken from the place. Aside
from the payment of storage rates the
dlBtlller Is not obliged to put up any
money and has the use of funds that
otherwise would have to be expended in
payment of the tax, until he Is ready to
place his product on the market In a
majority of cases liquors that are aging
are stored in a bonded warehouse.
Aside (rom allowing the producer the
use of the revenue money until his
liquor Is ready for the market, the
bonded warehouse is a testimonial of
the purity of the ' goods. . The term
bottled in bond" is used by the distiller
as a guaranty of the genuineness of
his wares.
The construction of the warehouse."
said Mr. Dunne, "will mean an expendi

PLUMBING LAW IS : .
DECLARED INVALID
(Journil Special Service.)
Spokane, Wash., March 14. In a de
cision rendered by Judge Kennan in the
superior court the entire law regulating
piummng in the state of Washington
Is declared unconstitutional.
The decision In the case Was brought
about by the arrest some time ago of
William Hanklns, at the instance of A.
T. Cattle, president of the Plumbers'
union. Hanklns was a non-union
plumber and was charged with working
at the business of a plumber without a
license. He was convicted In Justice
Stacker's court.
The case was appealed to the superior
court and the defendant filed a demurrer
to the complaint, which was argued
about a week ago. The decision of the
court sustains the demurrer and the de
fendant was discharged.

The plumbers' strike in Spokane has
been endorsed by the International As

FOR RECLAIMING
ARID ALKALI SOIL
(Journal Special Service.)
Baker City. March 12. While' discus
sing various methods of getting rid of
the alkali In the soil of certain sections
of eastern Oregon with a group of
friends yesterday, H. C. Innls, asaayer
and chemist, stated these interesting
facts:
"Very effective use could be made of
these spring freshets if preparation was
made for them in the fall. During the
summer the alkali dissolved in the moun
tain granites evaporates here In the
valley and . Increases the amount of
harmful Ingredients already burden
some to the soil. Just north of Irwin
is a place where this evaporation is
very apparent. In the spring much of
this la washed off by the excess of
water.
A Qreat Xxpertmemt.
"Making use of this fact government
experts in irrigation have been redeem
ing alkali lands by washing out the
alkalt. The plot of ground on which
the demonstrative experiment was per
formed consisted of 40 acres west of
Salt Lake City, near Williams lake.
The highest point on the land was only
eight feet above -the water level of the
lake. Drain tiles four Inches In diam
eter were laid every 160 feet, having at
the head an intake for the fresh water
and at the foot an outlet for the lake.
The drains were four feet below the
surface.
The land was plotted and arranged
for sectional flooding by levees. Once
each week the land was flooded to a
depth of four Inches In the summer of
1903. In the fall of 1902 the land had
been flooded and allowed to remain until
the following spring.
"An analysis of the land In the fall
of 1902 showed.". 1,366 tons of alkali in
the first foot, 1,640 In the second foot
1.766 In the third foot and 1,982 In the
fourth foot, or a total of (,661 tons of
alkali In the 40-acre plot. In May of
the following spring more- than half
of this alkali had been washed out. The
analysis showed: ' In the first foot 499
tons; in the second. 650 tons; In the
third. 1,066 tons, and in the fourth,
1.266 tons, or a total of 3,480 tons to the
plot The upper portion of this soil,
as might be expected, was benefited the
most ,
The Good Xesnltev
"If! October the full effect of the wash
ing became apparent. In the first foot
there only remained one-thirteenth of
the original amount of alkali, in the sec
ond foot there was 183 tons, or one
eighth of the original amount, in the
third foot, 330 tons, less man one-fifth
the amount contained at first and in the
fourth foot, 607 tons, or less than one
third the first quantity.
"In all there remained but 1,221 tons
of the alkali, that Is. 6,430 tons of alkali
had been washed out in a year; 3,648
tons of this passed out the outlet of
the -drain, the remainder sank and was
carried away by the natural subdrain
age. 'The conclusion Is that tne ultimate
reclamation of the sail is possible. The
ground has already . been sufficiently
sweetened to allow the growth of shal
low rooted plants. The use of water as
an agent In reclaiming the soil is s
cheap and natural method, and leaves
nothing harmful in the soli, as do many
cures."
