"Materiel Deposited on River Bank
; Washes Back Into Channel Under
New Plan Danger From Fire in
Docks Would Be Lessened. , '
Plana have been set on foot by the
''Port of Portland ' commMon to mak
' the' 'river channel in the harbor better
' . than It ever has been. If the dock
' owners -will allow the rravel and aaml
taken from the river bed to be dpo
' ited underneath, the dock the harbor
will be deepened and widened from the
sawmills above' the bridge to a point
: below the Portland Flourln .mills. t It
developed at the meeting- of the com
mission yesterday afternoon , that the
, . material - removed in prevloue seasons
from the channel and depoalted on the
river banks, eventually washed back lntj
me stream, i .
- By placlnr bulkhead In front of the
docks, it waa arguea, ine -na ami
travel could be held under the .wharves
and would five no ' further trouble.
Were thla plan carried out. It was de
clared that It would materially, enhance
the value of the dock for with bulk
heads n front of them the danger by
fire would be greatly lessened and in
surance rates reduced.
r Commissioner Alnaworlh agreed,' at
the I request of other membera of the
board: to explain the matter fully te
the dockownera and urge them' to work
hand In hand wit the Port of Portland
commission for the improvement of the
harbor. A letter from -T. B. Wilcox
read at the milnrlndlcated that he
did, not look with favor on the propo
sition of plat-ma" dredged material under
the docks. It waa the general sentiment
of the members of the board, however,
that- he would alter his views when the
subject waa presented to hint more In
detail. ',:: ''
Clirk Maher was Instructed to notlf r
the several transportation companies not
to run their boats by the drydock and
the dredges at full speed, as the waves
created have threatened to do consider,
able "damage.- No particular craft was
mentioned. . but It waa presumed that
reference was hsd to the Bailey Gatsert,
the Charles -R.- Sencer,wth Telephone
and. the Telegraph, credited with belriff

A communication received from Major
8. W. Roessler atated that the slab
wood fuel being used on the dredge Co
lumbia la of a cheap grade and much
of it has tor be thrown overboard. . Offi
cers of the boat sent in written report
that the wood produces ample steam and
gives satisfaction.- . . . .

which probably will come -to St. Johns,
haa made a definite offer to the rlty
council and board of trade, and If this
offer Is accepted another large foundry
and machine shop will be built In the
town before the close, of-the year. The
company' already has purchased a site
and expects to use It, but Just how
great a plant will be erected depends
to a considerable extent on the council;
which has been asked to vacate certain
streets through the site and Is finding
some difficulty In doing so, as the
streets to the. river are generally va
cated already and many believe that too
few outlets now remain. ' t
