Shipper of wheat alon $ha upper
Columbia ar facing- this year a far
nor serious phase f shipping oondl
tlona than waa existent Uat aaaou
. whan tha car shortage prevented tha
moving of (rain for many week. It la
stated that tha a B. ft N. 'will be In
no Jytter ahape to handle the output
fall than last. The grain produo-
jon will be enormous, exceeding by
-many tbouaanda of buahela the produc
tion or.ivos.
Grain producer!, eapecially above
Umatilla rapid, are plaolng their hopea
on the river ateamera, but offleera in
Portland atata that It la doubtful
whether they will be able to relieve the
congested situation. Neither of the1
Open River Transportation company's
ateamers ta powerful enough to make
, the raplda, and In addition there wlU
probably be aa much or more grain on
this aide than can be handled by them
during the season.
It Is stated that the only possible
manner In which the wheat production
thla year can be handled satisfactorily
. will be through the ehlDners' own ef
forts In providing the upper river with
mora boats. At the preaent time there
are half a doien ateamera plying tha
waters In that region, but these are
being operated In various construction
enterprises.
It was said thla morning that an
effort would probably be made to lease
aome of these vessels, but thla ia not
likely to be done unless a disposition
la shown on the part of the ones most
vitally Interested In moving their grain
tn ennnerate with the Portland persons
who are endeavoring to help Out in a
trying situation.
. The Open River Transportation com
pany will, in all probability. If some
assistance is given from the uppr
country, he the one to operate the addi
tional steamers If they can be had, but
ao far the arrangements are Indefinite
and until they assume tangible shape
there remains the possibility that the
upper Columbia grain will be tied up
In warehouses and other places more
, completely than It waa last seaaon when
' the whole country was crying for aome
meana of transportation.
WEATHER INSTRUMENTS REST J
Spring Hoasecleanlng Interrupt the
' Recording of Climatic Conditions.
For IB minutes thla morning all the
government weather Instruments in the
oustom-houae were out of commission
and atmospheric conditlona were not re
corded on any of the peculiarly pus
aling dials that work ceaselessly and si
lently and with the moat minute me
i ohanWi arruranv. The lnstrumenta
: peaceful vocation were interrupted j
.while tha carpets were being taken tip
'for spring cleaning.- .
' Uncle Sam Is renovating the custom
house. All the floor coverings will be
given a dusting and scrubbing, the wood
work will be rejuvenated with a coat
of varnish and other details of cleanli
ness pursued with the same r;are and
diligence that characterlaea the govern
ment's stinervlsion oi Its many depart
ments. .The work when completed will
be a feast for tne eyes or a youn
housewife. This morning it became necessary to
take up the carpets beneath the long
'tables on which are set the various
Instruments for recording wind velocity,
rainfall, the height of the river and
other meteorological conditlona and
phenomenon.
To lift the carpeta, the heavy tablea
had to be moved and the wlrea severed
which control the delicate instruments.
Thla work occupied a period of 26 min
utes and when the metal fincers were
t v. again aet to work the little indelible re-
broken. The vacant places showed

Plan to Fill Low Lands of Aberdeen
With Silt From Harbor.
(Bpdl DUpitch to The Journal.)
Aberdeen, Wash., July 18. J. L.
Dairies, whose firm, the Northwestern
Dredg-ing- company of San Francisco,
has secured the contract for dredging tha
channel of tha harbor, haa a proposal
to lay before tne city council in refer
ence to using tne airi irom tna Dea or
hay to fill in tha tide fiata. The
plulmif filling in the lower part of the
site of the city was a favorite one of
former Mayor i,inasirom, tna nil suc
cessor. Mayor France, is following out
the suggestion. Some objections haa
been made to the schema or filling with
dirt dredged from the harbor on account
of Its character, it talcing so long a time
ta dry and become firm and solid. Mr.
Imrnes claims the dirt along tha portion
of tbe harbor opposite this place is com-
?osed mainly of sand and gravel and
hat it , would become solid in a few
weeks. Tha matter will be brought be
fore the council at its next meeting.
Mr. Dames' company will probably in
stall an oil tank here, for the purpose
of furnishing fuel. If this is done it
will lead to a line of tank steamers be
ing put on the run to thla port.
