Dover, England, July 22. After swimming six and one half houra, Jacob Wolfe, In his second attempt to swim the English channel, has his task half completed. The sea is calm and the powerful swimmer has a good chance to win the honor for which he tried last year, missing the goal by. seven miles, when exhaustion compelled him to seek assistance ana ns waa taken on board Several of the boats which are fol- lowing close behind the swimmer re- mrnea i noon, stating that Wolfe ap parently waa In good strength.

It is set forth that Ger many's commercial union haa aent out a circular letter to German chambers of commerce In order to learn their views with reference to world's expositions to be held at Berlin In 1913 or other years of the coming decade. The second notable party of railroad builders to visit central Oregon within a week left Portland yesterday via the O. R A K. for Shanlko, and today de parted from that point In autdmobiles for Madras and th Willow Creek basin. In the party are W. F. Nelson, presi dent of the Oregon Trunk Line com pany; L. I. Gregory and half a dosen men representing Seattle and eastern backers of the Deschutes river railroad line. They will visit Bend, Prlnevllle au.l other point a, and make a thorough In vestigation of the country and Its re sources, with the purpose of reporting conditions to the financial interests that are behind the project It is said the road Is being projected by western men; who have long known of the latent pos sibilities for trafflo development In central Oregon, and the fact that the Deschutes river Is the only water grade tapping that country and affording a level roadbed from Bend to Portland. Some months ago W. F. Nelsoiv who had quietly completed surveys and bond ing of rights-of-way from tne mouth of the Deschutes to Madraa, threw a force of graders upon the right-of-way near the mouth of the river and began con struction work. The O. R. & N. com pany, which had followed the Nelson engineers and surveyed a line over the same route disregarding me neison sur vey. Immediately sent In a gang of graders and made a feint of beginning construction, but did not continue the work. A decision by the reclamation depart ment that no railroad line should be built within 100 feet of the river's edge, stopped work by both companies. The reclamation men advanoed the Idea that the water powers of the Desohutes should be conserved In order to pump water from that or other streams for Irrigation purposes In various looalltles where gravity Irrigation systems were not reafioie.

He has been master of the Co lumbla for many years and recently pre pared a large and valuable work on the dangers of navigation along the Pacific coast for the benefit of younger men in the service. That the accident was unavoidable on his part will be believed by those who know Captain Doran until It Is proved otherwise. The steam schooner San Pedro, which is reported aa havlna- rammed the Co. lumbla, is a small lumber carrier plying for the present between Eureka and San Francisco. She registers only 359 tons net, about one fifth the siae of the Columbia, and Is a wooden vessel. The craft she put out bf commission was of steel. The San Francisco & Portland Steam ship company, which branch of the Har riman system operates the liners be te wen this City and San Francisco, has been very unfortunate during its exist ence. One by one it has lost its steam ers as they have been put on the route, the Columbia having been considered the only one likely to escape the fate that seems to have been mapped out for ail the craft that were secured to alternate with her on the route. The steamship George W. Elder piled up on a rock in the Columbia river near Goble one night about three years ago when leaving ror Ban Francisco. She was subsequently floated by a wrecker from the east, employed by J.' H. Peter son, and sold to the North Pacific Steamship company, by which she Is now being operated between this city ana Ban rearo. The steamer St. Paul was placed on the run and after a few months Cf serv ice she piled up on the rocky beach near Point Qorda. Fortunately this disaster as well as that of the George W. Elder was without loss of life. The steamer Oregon was on the run for awhile and her cargo caught fire off Coos bay. The flames were put out by heroic work on the part of the officers and crew and the craft brought safely Into port. The Columbia made Portland her home port, although built at Chester, Pennsylvania, In 1880. Her exact di mensions were as follows: Length, 309 reei; neam, fls.o leet; aeptn, 14.4 reet. She was of 2,721 tons gross and 1,748 tons net register. On AdHI 18. 1906. she narrowly escaped beting wrecked In the San Francisco earthquake when she was in the firydock there undergoing repairs. The bilge and keel blocks gave way ana aiiowea tne crart to careen on her side against the walls of the dock. She was damaged to the extent of about $80,000.
