THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1908. PORTLAND MAH I HARR! MAN PARTY TO PAY 71 GETS CONTRACT The BEST VISIT TO CRATER LAKE The MOST IN VALUE Will IluiM Immense Con crete Wharf at San Francisco. LAWJESJOFKIND ON PACIFIC COAST Although Taken at What In Con-wMi-rcd l.w riRiirf, Wharf Will tout San FranriMco .'K2,400 Tarlflo Mall Expected to ! It. K'llicrt WnkefleM of this city has been nwn riled the rontrtict- for the con nt ruction of the lament and moiit cost ly wharf on the l'aclfle coat. Mr. WiikoflHcl In to get 1301.400 for the work anil (he atrueture will be known an pier in. mid will lie Juet north of the new I'aclflr Mall dock. Ban Francisco. The contract was swarded to the Pnrtlund wharf builder by the board of Mate harbor oommlaaloners end It pro vides that the Htructure shell be com pleted within 21(1 days. Non-fulfillment of the contract carries a penslty of 1100 a day and at the same time there Is s bonus of Jloo per day should the work be completed before the specified time. It Is understood that Mr. Wakefield will take a number of men with him from Portland to superintend the dif ferent branches of the work. Bids Ail Oloa. The four lowest bids were within 11,(100 of one another, and all were nearly 15,00(1 lean than the engineer's estimate of the cost of the wharf. The contract price Is regarded as very low. The new structure, which will oc cupy nenrlv the snme position as me old Pacific Mall dock, will doubtless be turned over to this company for Its Central and South American trade. After the old dock was torn out the company was compelled to put up with temporary accommodations. It Is the Intention of the board to let contract for two similar piers a.i soon as the preliminary arrangements can be made, and their completion will take place In lens than a year. The new wharf will ahut that por tion of the aenwall that has been re cently completed north from pier 42. It will be 130 feet wide and 650 feet lfino- and will be entirely of fireproof construction. The new concrete cylln-. ders that have Juki neon periecien win be used to support the structure. The engineer of the board have been experimenting with concrete cylinders for wharf purposes, but all previous sttempts to kh a stable structure have been unsuccessful from the fact that the water anil mud have not been pumped out of the caissons. The or ganic matter on the bottom has mingled with the cement, weakening; the con crete and rendering the cylinders nearly useless. A caisson that will withstand the pressure of the water has finally been devised and It will be used In setting the cylinders under pier 40. Structure Hnffe One. Four hundred and forty cylinders', each three feet six inches In diameter, will be used to support the structure. Piles are first driven to resist the lat eral pressure exerted by vessels. Cais sons are sunk around these and the wa ter Is then pumped ou. The spaces are filled , with onnerete. which, when hard, forms the support for the wharf and Its loads. The floor of the wharf will be of similar construction to those In class A buildings, except that the steel will be heavier, to sustain greater loads. A track will extend through the center of the wharf, and the whole will be covered with a steel shed. No wood or combustible material will be used In nnv part of the construction. A por tion of the floor will be paved with asphalt, hut where hard wear Is ex- pe-tid vitrified nru-K win oe usen nr flouring. ranes and other devices ror bundling- heavy freight will be placed on the wharf later, but the contract do,- not Include the installation of any of tin-so appurtenances. Will O. Steel, head of the Crater Lake Transportation company will leave to night for Klamath Falls and Crater lake to prepare for the visit of tho rUrrlman party to the lake next week. The cabins near the rim of the lake, In the national park, are being put In order for the visit of the party and Mr. Steel will personally oversee the prep arations for the vlalt of Mr. Harrlman to the nark. He will also accompany him In his tour of the Crater lake park. Numerous Improvements In the trans portation facilities of Crater lake hava been comnleted bv Mr Rtl which will .lu.UJ sive me navigation company eisut boats on the lake for the rest of this season. A new 22-foot gasoline lauoh was hauled down the canyon to Crater nisi wees. Deina: the nlntn gasoline launch that has been taken to the park In this manner. rifteen Bouts on ak. It Is the Intention of Mr. Steel to have 16 boats on Crater lake next sum mer. At present he has acoommoda iLon" . r 80 P'Pl" In the cabins near the rim of the lake and next season these are to be Increased so that HO and at a pinch 100 can be given sleeping the winter. There are no beaches on the lake and the only means of pro tectlng the bnnu la to construct boat housen and anchor them near the Islands. The new boat that was built last winter In Klamath Falls, has an eight horso power engine and carries 15 passengers. On Its trial trip In a heavy wind It proved to be seaworthy and exceptional ly Strong. It la believed that .1 .boat has been secured that will stand the buffetlngs oT the winter seas of Klamath Jake and this fall a boathou.se At present there are two gasoline launches on the lake wit h a combined ca pacity or iz passengers and six clinker built rowboats, In taking (he boats from Klamath to ( rater lake It was necessary to carry them down the canyon with a rope on either side. It being one of the most difficult reata of the .'kind ever attempted. Frequently the boat would oe so near going .over the canyon that a few feet either way would havo H to nlecea. At nn nnlnl where the deacent was nartleiilnrl v steep the boat got away from the men who were guiding It and a line caught a workman, throwing him 20 feot across the face of the boulders that lined the canyon. It was by the merest chance that be escaped death. The I Doai struck one boulder while belns? carried down the canyon. That stove a hole below the water line but the damage wan repaired at Crater.
