At the end of the year the trestle had been ex tended over old enrockment to a point 29.416 feet from the root of the Jetty at Fort Stevens and the enrockment brought up to a level of an average of four feet above low tide to the same point. Before the end of July the end of the old enrockment will be reached and the further extension begun. It Is expected to place from 8.500 to 4.- 000 tons of stone per day from the lat ter part or July to. tne ena or ine worn Ing season. One Seep Channel. The usual midsummer survey of the bar was made in June, it snows mat whnra HAveral narrow, noorlv defined channels existed a year ago, there is now a 'broad channel, 8,000 feet wide and 28 V4 feet deep, excepting at several points wnere isolated sounamgs or and 25 feet were obtained. Another en- eouraglntr exhibit Is the continuing ac cretion or sand on ootn tne norm ana south side, of the Jetty. The renort in this connection reeom mends that the deep sea dredge Chinook be repaired and place at work at the mouth of the river. It states that the dredge can be used at almost any stage or tne Hue in rair summer wiutr. Coos Bar Improvements. A new project proposes the deepen ing of the bay at Coos Bay to 18 feet at low water to the town of Marsh field. A pipe suction dredge is now under construction for this purpose. It la recommended that the available bal ance on the Coos Bay Jetty appropria tion be expended in operating this dredge. As to Tillamook the report says that coasting vessels drawing from 14 to 15 feet can reach Hobsonvllle. on. the north channel, a short distance inside the channel. The moat Important work done on the Snake river consisted of dredging and blasting, for which three drill scows were especially constructed. Some rak ing was done on the bars with good ef fect. ' The year's work has resulted In providing a 40-Inch channel between Ri parla and Lewlston susceptible for use throughout the entire season. MARINE INTELUOKXCE.

TO LOAD WHEAT III SEPTEMBER British Ship Brodick Castle Gets Charter After Long Wait, i FIVE OTHERS ARE READY AT HAND Vessel Came Here Several Months Ago With a Cargo of Coal and Then Went to the Drydock to Take Summer Vacation. The British ship Brodick Castle was chartered yesterday afternoon to load now crop , wheat In September for Europe. The ship has been lying Idle at anchor near the drydock for several montns waiting lor something to turn up. Several grain carriers have been chartered for the naw crop but most of the charter were consummated dur ing the early part of the year. Dur ing the past, few days there has been very little done in the Way of fixing tonnage for wheat loading, probably largely because of the uncertainty of how the crops would turn out Late reports indicate a fair crop and now It appears there Is again a demand for bottoms. The Brodick Castle is one of an oven half dozen large windjammer that have been in port for some time without a charter for outward business. The oth ers are the Norwegian ship Asgerd, the German ship Albert Rickmers and the British ships Larglemore, Leyland Brothers and Donna Francesco. All of tnese nave been In the river quite a while. The Donna Francesco, is still at Astoria. She came up from the west coast In ballast seeking old crop busi ness but was tardy In reaching port so that when she finally arrived nearly all of It had been set afloat The Brodick Castle came her with a cargo of coal from Newcastle, Aus tralia, and did not begin discharging It until a few day ago when it was loaded on barges.

(Qaltm Bureau of The JonraaL) Balem, Or.. July 11. It was decided yesterday by the Oregon railway com mission that circumstances warranted a further Investigation into express rates now In force In Oregon and a hearing will be held some time In the near fu ture. The date has not yet been set but will be probably in a few days. Other matters are now requiring; the attention of the commission. Tables prepared, by the clerks in the railroad commission's offices show that express rates In Oregon are far above those In other states: From Baker City, to Portland or Portland to Baker City the general merchandise rate eharged by the Pacific ExpTesa company is $3.75 for 100 pounds. The dUtance Is 368 miles. For the same distance In Ore gon the Wells-Fargo rat Is 12. 7B; in Texas it la $2.05 and in Missouri it Is $2. The Paclflo Express company oper ates over the O. R. &. N. while the Wells-Fargo operates over the South ern Pacific. From Portland to Pen dleton or from Pendleton to Portland, a distance of 230 miles, the general merchandise rate per 100 pounds is $3. The Wells-Fargo charges from Port land south for the same distance are only $2, while In Texas and Missouri the rate Is $1.40. In view of these findings the com mission has determined that an Inves tigation should be held and a date will be set for that purpose soon. The In vestigation has so far been conducted on the commission s own motion. No formal cdniplaints have been made Along the line of these same investi gations the commission has also taken up the grain rates tn Oregon as com pared with other states In the union. While the differences are not so great It Is likely that conditions may war mall sacks in two clerks 1 could distribute msll while the collec- I Hons were being made.

I In the announcement made In Wash ington and which has been received in Portland, Flrot Assistant Postmaster General Grandfleld said that the de partment had under consideration a proposition from a Detroit, Mich., eom I'fttiy to furnish automobiles of the $400 package cart pattern to collect the malls Instead of the wagons and foot collectors now used. Cost Host Be Xow. Mr. Grandfleld also said that the department would hardly accept the new proposition unless the official were assured that the present cost of collections would not be increased to any great extent The original proposition of the De troit oompany was considered too high by the department officials and the fig ures are now being revised bv the con tracting company The company's plana provide for fun Ishlng 10 automobiles or more for eight hours a day, with chauffeurs and emergency machine to take the place of those which may be come disabled. From Box fc Depot. The machines which the company la figuring on selling to the department are hardly as large as Mr. Minto had hoped to secure for Portland. Mr. Minto has done his part and if the contract ia let for the machine for collections and the offlcials consldor Portland one of the larger cltlea of the country, a horseless carriage or two will soon be spinning aoout tne streets and gathering; mall for the awaiting mall cars at tne passenger station.

About 4,000 of these pamphlets are to be distributed. sr oi mine If the shippers In Oregon are be ing over-charged. Conditions in the different states are of course, differ ent and the expense of hauling in Ore gon is probably greater than In Texas and Missouri. At the same time it Is believed the difference should not be so great as the figures illustrate. COLONEL R0ESSLER . TURNS OVER OFFICE Col. 8. W.
