FAIR LETTERS JIRE .TILL A HEAVY BURDEN Local Postoffice Forces Trying Hard to Dispose of Mail Ac- . cumulated During Fair. . -TOOUtwardT'appearancea the tremen dous pressure of business to which the Portland postoffice waa subjected dur ing tha fair haa subsided and normal conditions have been restored. But though the loada of the carriera have lightened and tha poatofflee lobby is no longer Jammed. frommornlng. to night by , the dense throngs lined up before the general delivery windowa, an enor mous amount of work la still being done, During the fair there waa an Inevi table ' accumulation of . mall matter which haa not yet been disposed of. Many thousands of unclaimed letters are e..U on hand, and must be returned to the writer or forwarded to the dead letter office. In many cases peraona who. ware here during the fair left their home addresses before their departure and lettera which have arrivedsub quently must be remalled. , In every postoffice .the . outgoing tide of letters and mall matter--! partially offset by t- heavy undertow of "mla sent", communlcationa which coma back to tha sender for mora perfect addreaa. This baa been particularly true of tha local office. An enormous amount of matter-descriptive of Portland and the fair waa aent. out .during tha summer and tner has been the usual resultant in mistaken addresses,, with consequent added labor for the office from which the matter waa mailed. .

H. Worsnop, roaster of the British ataamahlp Agin court. - aaya that he could out out a channel through the -Columbia river bar fully ample to accommodato the largest hlns afloat. He asserts that the Chinook, la not eut table for the purpose. as sh la too unwieldy. I Captain Worsnop has had a wide ex perience in dredging operations. After the English government had squandered millions of pounda sterling building jetties 'at Ddrban. South Africa, with out attaining results, the captain took charge of a dredge and made Durban one of the leading harbors in that quar ter of the -world. Ia did the same thing at Eaat tiondon after thartetty plan had failed, deepening the bar from alx to 14 feet at the low watetvatage. " "C - rdrka tha Only "Way. -r tz At both, of those' porta," said Cap tain Worsnop,,,JJ'.:tl- government -en gineer- were opposed to the dredgln-j proposition, which many of tha shippers had advocated Strongly. The engineers claimed that a Jetty or. breakwater was tha only plan by which a channel could be cut through a bar, and I understand that the United 8tatea engineers enter tain the aame view. At Durban the tax nayera' money waa being ao extrav gantly used on tha jetty work that loud complaints were finally made about it. "A magnificent dredge waa owned by tha aovernment and standing idle in oort. . It waa used only for minor work in tha harbor. One. day, during the ab sence of nearlv all tha engineers, I pre vailed 'on one o them to make a teat of the dredge on the bar and took charge of - the "veaset. She mada-auchs fine shewing that the business men of. the port Insisted that she be operated there regularly, or until ltcouWbeJearned definitely if ahe waa going to prove a success. The upshot of the matter waa that the engineers soon came around to our . way' of thinking and the jet.y project was abandoned. . In one aeaaon the- dredge- deepened "the channel rron 1 to 2( feet at tha low water stage." maa Worked at Bast tondon. The skipper saya the sami plan waa then tried at East London, which . al ways had the reputation of having one of Jjie - roughest bars in the world. Storms carried away' the jetty about aa fast aa it could be buUt - - - "At one time the jetty waa sufficient- ly well along,'-' continued the captain, 'to- produce a awlft current across the bar, T he -water must have iun-atIeat four 'antlas an hour.' It was kept in that ahape for - perhaps three " months. but strong aa tha current waa it had t.o effect on the bar. Thia fully convinced the observing people over there that the jetty principle is all , wrong, and nearly everybody haa about reacheTthe aame conclusion with the- exception of aovernment engineers. For some un known reasons the majority of tno lat ter, wherever you find them, whether In the United States, Europe. Africa or tha antipodea, still stick to the jetty or breakwater theory. '- 9rdglng XoonomlosX Captain Worsnop also declared that th dredging plan la far .the most eco nomical, explaining that.. -the money aunk one year In extending . the jetty at the mouth of tha Columbia, would be adequate to buy and operate a dredge for fully one aeaaon. The kind he pre fers la a common pump auction dredge, which la capable of handling about 1,000 tone of gravel and aand at a load. She ahould be easily hanfiltd and not of too great a draxs, he asserts, so that ahe may be operated when the bar moderately rough. "There la no doubt that the Columbia river bar could be given a fine depth uluiludi "Slid It la moat surprising to me that the people who are directly interested in shipping here do not demand that it be given a thorough trial with a modern dredge. If they ahould, the bar problem would soon be BolveoV It is a wast of money building that jetty down there. - Theory Tlagraatly Wrong. - . "The theory is ao flagrantly wrong that every one ought to know It by thia time. By dredging. Intelligently done, thia port can be made one of the best on the. Pacific coast. -Dredging,' and not jetties, is "What made Liverpool and Dunkirk. In fact, it ia the only method yet discovered that gives results, and that ia what the people want. They ahould not stand Idly by every year and see liberal . government appropriations thrown into the ocean at the mouth of the Columbia .without making atrong protests." Captain Worsnop . designed the first three aternwheelers that wer ever i p e rated on the upper Yukon river. - They were built at Lake Bennetr and are atlll doing service above Dawson. He haa re signed command of the Agincourt and will leave in a few daya for hla horn in London." He la a member of the London Geographical aoclety and haa assisted tha .government in numerous river and harbor undertakings. It 1 said that hla opinion on -subjects of dredging and jettlea la exceptionally valuable, , SOCIETY DAMES TAKE : UP CLEAN GOODS CAUSE At the Hotel Portland yesterday after noon, when the first meeting of th local branch of the Consumers' league waa held, many of the most prominent housewives of Portland - were present! and great Interest waa manifested In the cause of clean gooda.
