Assistant to Inspect Snake River. :
. In a few days a memory ia all that
will remain ef the old government snag
boat Methloma, which has don ssrvloe
on the upper .Willamette river for years.
She wee taken ove,r to the Supple ship
yards this morning to, be dismantled.
The machinery will be transferred to
a new snagboat which la being built
to take the place of the Methloma. The
new boat will - bear the same name as
her predecessor,' but she will, be -much
larger and more serviceable. She will
be operated A- the earns waters. rl.It Is
thought that she will be ready for serv
ice by ths early part of the eomlng year.
However, the United States engineers
say that It may be necessary to tie her
up et the government moorlnge-as foon
as she Is completed, as the funds for
the Improvement of harbors and rlvere
In this district are about exhausted.
: The dipper dredge No. I will complete
the work today -of deepening the chan
nel leading tQ the entrance of the Cas
care locks and tomorrow "she wlll. be
brought to Portland and taken out of
commission. She has been employed up
there for the past month, making it
possible for steamboats loaded with full
cargoes to get Into the locks without
any danger of going aground. Before
tola Improvement was mad the steam
ers did not dare load to their full ca
pacity and even then were delayed fre
quently. . ; , .:: .-..
1 Repairs and extensions to the dams
between - Salem and Newberg will be
completed this week., when the plant
which has- been used for this purpose
will b brought down the river and left
at the , government moorings opposite

Xooal rouadrjteea, JCuo Wat Out at
eeadoament of Oersdale.
v Plfty-two letters for the sailers of thtf
British ship Oarsdale. abandoned off
Cap Horn, had accumulated at ' the
office of British Consul Xaidlaw. They
were picked out of the other mall ad'
dresses) to- seamen who are expected to
arriv .here shortly and started, on the
return "trip to the countries from whlcn
.they came. Many, of the missives had
r arrived more than a month ago, showing
that the ' senders were expecting the
vessel to put In an appearance at Port'
land at about tb date , on which shs
wss lost.
Much of ths cargo of the ship had.been
. sold. ' Among other freight she carried
was a shipment of 1,009 , tons v of pig
-Iron, which bad been disposed of to
T. 8. McRath at Co. They in turn hal
. contracted to sell the Iron' to the local
foundry companies. When' the news of
the loss of the shin became publlo rep
resentatives of these firms began to up
braid McRatlr st Co. for not being able
"to deliver the goods." declaring that
they should have,, been notified of 'the
. wreck as soon as it occurred,' so that
they could have mad other arrange'
merits. It was explained to the Irate
. callers that they had no means of. com
munication with a ship while, she .was
on the high, seas ; thousands of . miles
.from a port, and that the, Iron men
i- knew of the disaster Juets soon as any
one els In this city. Nevertheless the
. the news had been 'withheld from, them
. The other freight on the Oarsdale
consisted of 100.000 firebricks. X00 tons
of fireclay and 50 tons of coke. All of
.the material la badly needed here and
could have been sold readily at a good
' profit. To make up for the shortage I
Is probable that another ship will be
chartered at ones .to bring a general
, cargo from Europe to Portland. K

Captain Donaldson of the Homer says
that while the sea waa rougn mere was

t This Is the first trip of the Nome City

her and Ban Pedro, stopping at San

Surveys and other preliminary work
are being started to extend the Couob
street and Alien Lewis docks out to
the harbor llne.s Theee"struetures are
situated on the west side of the river be
low the Burnside street bridge. They
are about (00 feet In length and laek
about 40 feet of reaching out to ths har
bor line which has been established by
the United States engineers.
When extended, ships can gar-along
side of them with far greater ease than
now. It Is estimated that the water at
their proposed outer edge will be no less
than 10 feet deep at Its lowest stare.
During the past year a sandbar has
formed In front of the docks and of late
It haa been a difficult matter for steam
schooners drawing no more than 11 feet
to get "Sufficiently close to discharge
their cargoes without barges being
placed between, them and the docks. .
The Couch street doca is oecoming one
of the busiest In the port. This week
the following five coasters will dis
charge cargoes there: Steamers Nome
City, Despatch. South Bay, Alliance and
Northland. When fully loaded tne Nome
City draws about 15 feet of water an1
la among the largest eoaetere wnicn
freouent the Columbia river. . The oc
cupants of these docks have declared
time and again tni unless tne struc
tures are pushed farther out Into the
river or a great deal of dredging Is
done In front of them they will soon
become of little service, r - . , .

Captain J. Feren, who operates the
fishing schooners Falcon and Fortune
between Puget. sound and Alaska, Is a
visitor in the city. The vessels bring
cod fish south, where they are packed
for eastern shipment. The captain says
he probably will have another schooner
on the seme route next season.
United States Inspectors Edwards and
Fuller will leave for Astoria tomorrow
