Columbia river Improvement needs
today more Imperative than ever be
fore in the history of the open-river
movement will bo mat If possible by
Portland man who thta afternoon gath
ered at the Chamber of Commerce audi
torium to consider the present critical
situation. Another appropriation must
be secured at oace. to carry the work
Mrward at the jetty and to continue
the Celllo canal project.
The consplcuoua feature in the rivers
and harbors problem confronting the
people of the Columbia river basin is
that the problem will not settls itself
It must he worked out by the people
who ar directly Interested and whose
future prosperity must be derived large
ly from transportation facilities and
the lowest possible freight rates. The
further along that the river Improve
ment moves the more vitally necessary
Its completion becomes, and ths more
devotedly must the people bend their
efforts to that end. Completion of the
jetty and the Celllo canal must and
will. It Is said, oe the unceasing slogan
of the business Interests and the farm
ers of the states of Oregon, Idaho and
Washington until the goal of water
transportation for the Inland empire and
a 40-foot channel -n the bar Is reached.
Various suggestions were advanced at
this afternoon's meeting for meeting
the need for funds. The last congres
sional appropriation is exhausted and
work on the Jetty la practically shut
down. The coming session of congress
Is the "off" session, so far as a river
and harbor bill is concerned, and there
Is no certainty but only a hope that the
friends of river and harbor improve
ment will be able to crowd an emerg
ency bill through to relieve the stress
tn connection with unfinished harbor
work. Meantime, there must be some
thing done to emphasise the need of
funds to continue the Jetty work.
Mat Might AM Financially.
It has been suggested that the state
of Oregon might, in the existing emerg
ency, properly lend financial assistance
to one or the other, or both, of the
large projects, and that such generous
action oh the part of the state could be
used to advantage to win an emergency
appropriation from congress.
Henry Hahn. discussing the situa
tion, said:
'The people must decide on what they
want to do with regard to the river Im
provements. It will not do for ue to
advocate any pet measure to the dis
advantage of another. The Asople pf
the inland empire have their pet meals
ure, too, and it is as Important to them
as the Jetty Is to Portland. I am not
yet prepared to agree with Colonel
Itoessler'e view that nothing should be
done at the Jetty unless aU the money
can be mads available at ones to com
plete the work. We are up against a
'condition and must make the beat of
it. Since there are river Improvements
to the amount of $100,000,000 demand
ing money from congress, and we are
to get only a total of $25,000,000 with,
which to carry on all of them, the Co
lumbia river roust take its share, and
do the best that can be done With ft
We cannot alt back and say we will
not take anything unless we get all of
it at once. We cannot and. will not do
that. We wilt do aa the other do
take our share and go on with the
work. 4
"My vlsw of this whole matter Is that
we must demand mora money for in
ternal improvements, even If It should
involve a cutting down of some of the
expenditures for outside affaire. The
government Is not allotting, enough
money for improvements that will bene
fit gad develop the country's Internal
commerce and production. It may be
all well to spend several hundred mil
lions for the Panama canal, and other
millions for the Philippine Islands, but
it is time that a more reasonable di
vision shall be msde for the benefit of
our own country's Internal business in
tersts. Ths Interior baa been sacri
ficed long enough for the benefit of the
country'a outside interests. We want
at least $60,000,000 annually to be ex
panded In carrying on river and harbor
Improvements, and It should be kept
up until these matters are In good
shape."

Promontory, the Berk Was
denly Pound Hemmed in by Mon
ster Bergs With a Heavy See.
On her way to Portland from London,
the French bark Genevieve Molinos ex
perienced .an sncountsr with three ice
bergs that her crew thought would be
her last Fully believing they would
never see land again they had about
resolved to give up and go down with
the ship like good sailors when sudden
ly conditions a hanged in their favor and
the big windjammer escaped without a
scratch. Her call waa on of the
cloaeat ever reported here and old-time
salta along ths waterfront declare the
tare certainly can thank their lucky
stars for being here and alive.
Like all of the other vessels that
hare arrived on the coast from Europe
recently the Genevieve Molinos ran
into rough weather in doubUng Cape
Horn, dales drove the snow and aleet
in big sheets and frightful seas swept
the decks continually. The thick
weather obscured the view aa that It
waa almost Impossible to sse anything
beyond the length of the vessel, and
everybody waa fearful last tne ship
should collide with one of the icebergs
that are common In those waters dur
ing the winter months.
One day while the bark was speeding
along with the wind a monster berg
loomed up In the vessel's course. Closer
Investigation revealed the fact that the
vessel waa surrounded by toeberge and
that some of them were dangerously
oloaa at hand. For 14 hours the vessel
waa practically hemmed in and it waa
feared every moment that she would
toss up against one of them and crush
to pieces. By careful maneuvering and
a good streak of luck the bark finally
found her way out of the enclosure,
much to the gratification of the sailors.
The Q nevleve Molinos went to the
Southern Pacific dock on the Bast side
yesterday afternoon to discharge a large
shipment of cement. She Is under
charter to load wheat for outward car-do,
FOR BETTER CHANNEL
Astoria Bseldents Anxfcms for Improved
Shipping Facilities.
Astoria merchants and business men
of all classes are working hard and
enthusiastically for a deeper channel
to the sea aa well as across the bar,
accordion to D. H. Welch, who Is in the
city todfy for a brief visit. Mr. Welch
Is one of the early residents of the City
by the Sea and takes a lively Interest In
its growth and development.
'The opinion at Astoria la that the
channel to the sea could be much Im
proved by shifting the channel off
Tongue point closer to the Oregon side,"
said Mr. Welch In speaking of the ex
isting conditions, "and it wousS also
benefit Astoria shipping. As It is,
dredging now done In the ehsnnel
causes a shoal In front of ths city and
deprives It of easy access to the main
channel.
"Not long ago it was proposed to
hare the channel along the Oregon
shore off Tongue point cut through, and
this, It Is believed, would give the cur
rent a straight course so that by its
own force the channel would be kept
open to a much greater depth than that
found In the ohanael now winding about
the various bars and sands above As
toria. Colonel S.W. Roessler, United
States engineer, visited Astoria some
time ago and looked over the situation,
and the Astoria people are In hopea that
the official waa favorably lmpreaaed
with the suggestions offered at that
time."
Colonel Roessler having gone on a
tour of Inspection on the upper Wil
lamette today, his views could not be
obtained In reference to the proposed
improvement. .
