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

It Is the Intention of Mr. Steel to
have 16 boats on Crater lake next sum

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

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?

damage wan repaired at Crater.

company to place elaborate service In

order of the department of the Interior

This year, however. It was Impossible
to get supplies In on time to operate
