If the peti. tlon presented to the county commis sioners, asking them to "close up the old Nea Porce and Wilson Hollow road, is granted. Columbia county will lose a highway ; that has been used for 'travel for more than half a century. The reason given by the petitioners, a number of prominent residents of the district affected, in making the re quest." is that in future the old time trail will no longer be used enough to warrant the sacrifice-of the land nec essary to keep it open. This condition is largely brought about by the fact of the building of the state road now in course of construction between this city and Walla Walla. i State Veterinarian to Baker. Salem.

Men's Stiits and Overcoats for Early Spring Wear Are Now Ready in Our Popular Men 's Store 3d Floor By teirgrmn today the Chamber of Commerce nut into Hie possession of Joseph ii. T-al A. II. Averill and the Oregon Senators at Washington import ant information expected to refute ar gument! unfriendly to the campaign for a slant drrdi?er on the Columbia river bar. ' One of the strongest of the unfriend ly argumontH has been that it would require jtwo yparw to build such a drrdge as Ih contemplated, and by that . time the north Jetty would be complete and its Effect. toPther with the south Jetty, would be to deepen the channel adequately. An official letter written by Major Jamr-M K. Mcindoe, former district engineer in charge of Columbia ... river Improvements, contains these ' words: I" a most liberal estimate-Would be nix years, so that Portlund can hope; for the full depth which the Jetties will give acroes the bar In about neven years instead of '28 yrars.' " A writer in Scientific American lias given the last figure as the shortest possible time lp which the channel would show the effects of the Jelttpft, and Major Mcindoe, in answer ing the itnl.MKtatement at' the same time fllod information that is regarded now. as having th,e gie;itpKt bigmrii-ance. Forty root Channel Sought. .The report by tin; board of United States i-nginecrs that recommended dredging1 nearly 12 years ago has been brought to light and references to It , telcuratihud to Washington ror ino in formation of the- senators and repre-I sehtallvfis supporting the Lane bill for1 a 1,800,JOO dirdger on the Columbia river bar!. Colonel Burr, ac ting chief of ! ..engineers during the illness of General j Kingman, was a member of this board; : another member' was Colonel C. H. Mc- ' Klnstry, now district engineer in charge of government improvements on thai Columbia river. j 'The problem before the board is to secure and maintain at the Columbia ' river entrance a channel 40 feet deep st the lowest low water," reads a por tion of the report of this board. That was In 10-. At that time the south Jetty extension arid the north Jetty i construction awaited approval'. But It Was' then recognized that comparative-, ly srow ! Jetty action, no matter how efficient ultimately, would need be supplemented by Immediate relief methods Dredging was recommended s experimental. It is now no longer, experimental. i Channel Depth Gains. I "The Chinook placed on the bar by . recommendation of the board lias dem- - oiistrated ubillty to deepen the channel - an average of three feet in a season end to work on the bar during storms that keep good sized steamers within the harbor. ! Nearly 12 years have passed. The : south Jetty has been extended. The J north Jetty Is under way. The 40 foot channel, desideratum of the board, is as yet unrealized. The certainty of an ' adequate dredge producing the channel desired through jetty action supple : mehted .by dredging has been estab lished. Of the aiuthorlties In charge, the Chamber of Commerce asks what good reason can lie given for longer delaying to make adequate provision for tin effective dredger. The im- , portance of the project is preliminarily defined in the report of lDOU, where it says: . "It (the board) feels, however, that the Importance of this entrance justi fies the, plan herein recommended for its complete ami permanent improve ment, and that while a partial improve ment may be obtained at a less cost, no le.ss i extensive a project will as suredly secure and permanently main tain a channel of 40 feet deep and rf ("' suitable width. The Columbia river . entrance id the only deep water port In the 70 miles of btorray coast between San Fratictsco and the Straits of Fuca ard, if suitably improved, will provide an invaiuable harbnr of refuge. Its value" as a. commercial port is well knbwri. i . . ." ' . Wheat Commerce Shown. Attention has also been called to the opportunity this port has of at ; trading, the wheat shipments of west-, crn Canada in connection with the ; statement ' cf Charles M. Hays, late '. president of the Grand Trunk Pacific, during an address in London, when he , . said: "We ill shif 100,000,000 bushels of . wheat Annually from Prince Rupert to . Europe when the Panama canal is opened. We will build docks; and ele- j V vators st Prince Rupert, our terminus j on the Pacific, and we expect, to have; our tracks finished so as to handle i . -the haryest of 1915. We are building , low gracie iracK by which we can carry n)orc wheat from the prairies v of western Canada, toward both oceans more economically than any other road. We will be able to deliver wheat In Liverpool by way of the Panama canal frbm Prince Rupert at the same . coBt and almost in the same time that It now takes to carry it by way of the Great Ljnkes and the Atlantic ' ports." Distance Is Shortened. The flow grade track" of which President Mays spoke . extends over Yellowhead pass. 3721 feet elevation. :' In distance from western Canada the advantage Is really with -jthe mouth of the Columbia as contrasted with Prince ' Rupert. I The vessel that gets wheat there to carry to Europe via' the l'anamaj canal must travel 1500 miles farther than If it came here.
