COLUMBIA BAR HAS ' 37 FEET OF WATER AT LOW TIDE Success of Dredging in. the Channel Said to Have Been Amply Demonstrated. Astoria, Or., Aug. 12. That there is now 37 feet of water on the Colum bia river bar at low tide was the an nouncement made today. The state ment-comes from an authoritative source and is not to be discredited. While it was known that the dredge Chinook" has been very effective, this summer, it was hardly thought that such excellent results "had been ob tained. According to the latest report, the south channel has been deepened seven feet during the past few months. When the Chinook was put to work in the south channel last spring there was a minimum depth of 29 feet. The channel which is now used by ail deep draft vessels is about 1200 feet wide. The suedtess of the Chinook has been due in a great measure to the excel lent and capable handling of Captain Jack Mareno who leaves within the next few weeks to take charge of the new dredge Pablo, which Is being con structed at Baltimore for use in San Francisco bay. There is every indication that the depth, of water on the bar will reach 40 feet at no distant date, probably this fall, if the Chinook continues . to meet with success. . Vessels of the deepest draft and large carrying capacity can now enter the river with safety. The dredge is assisted in the efforts to deepen the channel by the scouring action of the north and- south Jetties and with' the completion of the one on the north side greater results may bo expected. The work of the Chinook proves be yond doubt that results can be secured by dredging and it is cited that now is the time to start a move ment toward having congress appro priate a sum to be used in construct ing a larger dredge to be operated at the mouth o.f the Columbia.

Recent approval by the war. depart ment of two changes in the . local har bor lines as suggested by J. B. Ziegler affects the public generally in that the new lines make for an appreciable broadening of Portland's harbor facia ties. It is Impossible to gauge accurately in dollars and cents the value of the foreshore added to the harbor area but the new lines completely around swan island and a portion of Ross island mean that considerable acreage will be added to the harbor area. . Every addition to the harbor area Is a port improvement and means a more efficient harbor. Channel Is Broadened. New narrowing lines made tangent exteriorlly to the high water mark at the north end of Ross island have the effect of not only adding a con siderable area to the harbor but also make for a broadening of the channel at that point. Similar tangents run at -the lower endof Swan island mean the cutting on oi a strip zaoo reet long from the island and new lines all around the island mean appreciable widening of both east and west, channels.
