ther extension contemplated. 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.

Postmaeler John W. Mlnto has a
scheme on foot to secure the services
of an Immense automobile to collect
mall from the suburban and branch sta
tions and the letter boxea In Portland
Recommendation to this effect has .been
made to lhe department orneiaia at
Washington.
Mr. Minto estimates that such a ma
chine as would be required would cost
Uncle Sam about 120 a day. The plan
is to have the automobile large enough
to allow Dlaeon holes along; the sides
and an arrangement of
one end in order that one or

two came In ballast to wait for the
new crop wheat which will soon begin

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.

LOOKS liilO RATES
Oregon Express Rates Are
Far Above Those in
Other States.
(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

in rape the department sees fit to allow
, Mr Mlnto's request
I The department announced several
days ago that In the near future mall
in u 1 1 of the larger cities of the country
would be collected by means of auto-
inohilen.
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.
