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

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.
