(Wa.hlnrton Bureau of Tir Journal.) Washington, Sept. 28. Judge Burke, collector of customs at Portland, un-dt-r whOHe admlnintration important economies have already been achieved in th local service, while salaries (.ave ben rained and the service Im proved paradoxical an this may seem was frankly surprised at the pres sure of business in the offices of the Oregon senators in Washington. "I can well understand," he said to The Journal correspondent, "why Henator Chamberlain has not felt at liberty to leave his post of duty for the purpose of engaging personally in hi campaign for reelection. He, as well as Senator Lane, Is so busy' that it is- difficult to find a time when he has leisure to see callers, although I have been treated with the greatest courtesy and consideration by both senators. The long (tensions caused by the filibuster over the rivers and harbors bill must have tried them. as well as other senators, very se verely; yet they have ben constant in their attendance and In the press ing work due to their voluminous cor respondence. Oregon Appreciates Services. "Oregon is deeply appreciative of the great service Senator Qharoberlaln has rendered in protecting the appro- prtationirfor Oregon rivers and har bors. We in Oregon, and of course the people of Washington also, are -deeply Interested in the Improvement of the Columbia river. "We feel that the commerce of the Columbia river and Its tributaries would grow into the most prominent place on that coast. both as regards imports and exports. if the channel from Portland to the sea were kept navigable for the larg est ocran-golng vessels: "The 300,000 miles of territory trib utary to that port is highly productive and Its ability to absorb imports la great and steadily increasing. This Is the only port of consequence on the coast that has a water grade into the interior. It is tho natural outlet for the great commerce of the Columbia river uasin. It is evident, therefore. that the need for the improvement of the Columbia Is very great, and the faithful and untiring efforts of Sena tor .Chamberlain to assure the passage I of the appropriation is appreciated to the fullest extent by the people of the state of Oregon. mends Want to Be Kim. "It is only the truth to say that we in Oregon have been hoping that this oongresHional work would be con eluded in time to permit Senator Chamberlain to visit Oregon, so that he might make some addresses 'and see his many friends before the gen eral election. We desire very much to see him reelected by a handsome ma jority, but there Is a general feeling among his friends that his cause is not being injured by his close atten tion to his duties here, and bis unre mitting support of the Interests of the state. . While the Immediate cause of Judge Burke's visit to the east was the meet ing of customs officials called in New York to discuss matters of interest and Importance to the service, he util ized the opportunity to make an ap- I peal to tho treasury department to rearrange the boundaries of ths cus toms district over which he presides by including In it the north bank of the Columbia river. This is now a part of the- Seattle district, and while the business in that district on the Columbia is not large or of especial importance. It Is the cause of much inconvenience to shipping men. Too XCncA Bd Tap. Whenever a vessel goes from one bank of the river to the other it enters another customs district, with the at tendant formalities and display of red tape not to mention 'expense and delay. The principal reason why the boundaries of the district are not re arranged to conform to business con venience and common sense is that the present arrangement has the sanc tity of precedent and long usage. How ever, Judge Burke hopes that be will yet succeed In having the change made. Since he assumed control of the "Portland office, Judge Burke has ef fected a saving of some $6000 a year in the administration of the district. and at the same time has secured an increase amounting to a total of 91100 in the salaries of six employes. As an Instance of bis methods of admin istration, h found that a boat and four men were maintained for the N purpose of putting customs inspectors aboard ships at Astoria. Ue found that the cost in the case of each ship visited by an inspector averaged $41. I Judge Burke recommended the discon tinuance of the system and made a contract whereby the cost was reduced to ti for each ship. While in Washington, Judge Burke was the guest of his brother. United , States Treasurer Burke. He departed for Oregon last Tuesday night, plan ning tu make one or two stops on his way to the coast. Oregon's Halibut Banks Valuable Oregon's halibut banks, which have already rapidly come to public notice In the past two years, are destined to rival those of Alaska, according to M. "Wachsmuth. brother of Louis Wachsmuth, of the Oregon Oyster company. The Wachsmuths have just completed a season of successful fish ing at Newport in the gasoline launch Sea Dog. "When halibut are so plentiful and easy to take that one can catch 1000 pounds vwlth a band line, den the grounds must be of unusual Import ance," said M. Wachsmuth just before leaving for Newport yesterday after a visit Id this city. He said that Newport should awaken to the pos sibilities of halibut fishing and pro vide more facilities for handling the fish and furnishing gear and supplies te Ylshermen. The Seattle, fleet this summer did all its outfitting on the Sound and all the - fish taken were aarried back to Seattle for marketing. c McjcHcndSe of c Merit Onb This Store Will Be Closed Wednesday in Observance of Jewish Holiday 1495 SILK JERSEY PETTICOATS In a Remarkable Underpriced Sale $4.50 Silk Jersey Fitted Petticoats 1 $3.65 The Dinner ware Sale Is On Behold a Remarkable Opportunity!
