AT'THIS time, when the people of

and Increase its water-borne commerce,
nd thereby Rain for Abe city the ben-
eflts which all active ports derive from
the full use of their fsw-iUties, it is im
portant to know Just wKat has ben
-done to remolclhe principal- obstacles
which for so niany years retarded the
development of the port; what has
been accomplished in this matter to
the present time, and what assurance
there is that the work done is of a
permanent nature.
The principal and most serious' fac
; tor which has been the great handicap
to the progress and growth of the port
wss the Insufficient entrance channel
depth at the mouth of the Columbia
rlver the Columbia river bar. To this
. more than to any other oause may be
laid the reasons for the difficulty In
attracting to the port vessels of the
regular lines, because-.: of the delays
to which such shipping was being sub
jected before the Improvement of the
Columbia river entrance had produced
the satisfactory channel conditions
which have existed since 1915.
, To cover this subject as fully as
possible, with the view of showing the
changes which have been brought
about, by the removal of the Columbia
river bar and the reaspns why the work
: accomplished should be of a permanent
. .nature, a brief reference must neces
sarily be 'made to the conditions which
existed before and during the construc
- Hon of the important government im
provements at the entrance and at the
-practical -completion of the same, sup-
- pletnented by charts showing the en
p trance conditions vhen jetty construc-
; tlon ws first undertaken, and at the
present time.
From the earliest known records- to
- the time the jetty work was well under
: way, the best entrance depth did not
- only when one .well defined channel
condition existed. It Is further known
that such oTle channel conditions were
of short duration, and that the readily
shifting sands at the entrance soon di
vided the currents into two or more
channels, with resultant and marked
shoaling, which in 1876 had reduced
the depths to only 20 feet, the worst
channel conditions of record.
In 1883 a project was adopted by
congress for the improvement of the
mouth of the river, and construction
- of the south jetty began early in 1885,
snd the survey chart of that year, here
with, shows the entrance conditions
existing at that time, which also, in
gener.!, apply to the-period of 1876
, to 1888, when the low water depth was
only about SOeet.
The- original Jetty,- four and one
fourth miles in length, was fully corn
's pleted in 4 895, at which time a wide
1 and straight channel with low water
' dpth of 31 feet had been procured,
one foot more than the project depth,
But wlng to the fact that the jettv
, aa constructed, did not extend a suf
ficient distance seaward either to con
trol the enormous sand movement or
the ebbing currents to the extent of
confining the channel in ja fixed posi
tion, the bar channel,; after 1896,
began to deteriorate, the! depth gradu
ally decreasing until thie year 1902?
when it was only 21 feet iat low water.
After 17 years, the bar Conditions, so
far as depth was concerned, were then
nearly identical with thqse which ex
isted in 1885, when jetty! construction
first began.
With the steadily increasing size of
vessels and the greatly increased ship-
pins of the port, the necessity for re
lief from these unfavorable bar condi
tions was more imperative than in
1883. A revised project for the perma
nent improvement of the? entrance was
adopted in 1903 and provided for a
channel having, a width of one-half
mile and depth of 40 feetjat low water.
and this was to be accomplished. by the
extension of the south jetty two and
one-half miles and the building of the
north jetty, approximately two and
one-half miles in length; the distance
between their outer ends to be about
two and one-half miles, j If necessary
to accomplish the desired result, the
Jetty construction was to be supple
mented by dredging.
Work under the revised project has
Deen energetically prosecuted and has
resulted In the completion of the south
Jetty and about 96 per cet of the north
Jetty,
To assist the Jetty construction in
deepening the entrance jto the river,
dredging was resorted to at various
times. The first attempt was in 1904,
when the dredge "Chinook" was oper
ated for a short season, i Kvery condi
tion connected with the! dredging op
erations at that time was unfavorable.

concentration of the river into one
channel and discharge it as a unit to
the sea were, the principal governing
factors upon whose accomplishment de
pended the permanency of the improve
ment, the natural forces at the en
trance being sufficiently powerful,
with properly, located permanent struc
tures, to maintain, in a fixed position,
a channel of great depth and width.
From experience gained at the mouth
of the Columbia river it Is apparent
that, even with the ebbing: currents
under practical control and trained to
exert the most effective results due
to concentration and increased velocity
produced by the jetty construction, the

erations were continued durine favor

these years did not mdicate increased
depth or other improvement of the
channel. This failure to nroduca in-
depth, was the large quantities of
sand, which were brought from the
south into the channel and there de
posited, greatly increasing tbe work
which had to be performed by the out
flowing waters. It is, therefore, read
ily seen that until the Improvement
had txee-n brought to the stage where
the sand, movement from the south
was controlled, or practically eliminat
ed? the effective deepening of the chan
nel was greatly retarded and the ex
pected results long delayed. ,

the 40-foot and 50-foot inside low

very rapid deepening of the bar area on

dredging is annually continued for
some years, to supplement the con
stantly increasing effectiveness of the
completed Jetty work.
Portland, therefore, need no longer
have any fear of adverse channel con
ditions at the mouth of the Columbia
river. The elimination of the bar has
removed the principal and last obstacle
to the free and unobstructed movement
of the port's shipping.
Certainly no more convincing argu
ments can be presented to bear out
the statements herewith made as to
the gain in channel depth and perma
nency of the improvement than a com-
parison of the 1913 and 1916 charts
of the entrance.
HIGH SPOTS IN COLUMBIA CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT
FIRST government project authorised In 1883, .when low water was
about 20 feet.
Original Jetty, four and one half miles in length, completed, 'n
1895 and low water depth of 31 feet procured. As the jetty did not extend
a sufficient distance seaward to control the sand movement and etoMng
currents, the bar channel began to deteriorate and the depth gradually
decreased until 1902 until it was only 21 feet at low .awter.
After 17 years tli bar conditions, so far as depth was concerned, were
nearly Identical with those existing In 1885, when Jetty construction first
began. '
Revised project was adopted in 1903 and wotV has resulted In com
pletion of south Jetty and about 95 per cent of north Jetty.
Dredging operations supplement Jetby worit.
Most marked gains in Improvement work made in 1915 When low
water depth reached 36 feet and channel's width 1000 feet.
At close of dredging season in October. 1916, entrance channel had
been deepened to practically 40 feet, with width of 800 feet.
Permanent channel depth in excess of 40 feet Is assured, with con
tinuance of dredging operations.
The last Obstacle to the free and unobstructed .movement to Port
land's shipping has been removed.
OCEAN DEPTHS
THERE may be depths In the ocean

made. On the other hand, the sound

general configuration of the sea bot
toms that it does not appear probable
that any considerable depressions ex
ist in any of the navtgablo oceans
that are not already known. It is
not likely that greater depths exist in
any of the oceans than the "Nero
Deep," near the Island of Guam, in
the Pacific ocean, where the plummet
sinks 5268 fathoms, "or 31,600 feet
(only 80 feet less than six miles).
It is not uninteresting to note that
just as the largest continent. Asia.
has the highest mountain elevation,
so the largest ocean, the Pacific, has
the deepest depression. Mount Ever
est, thrown into the "Nero Deep,"
would tvave its summit covered by
nearly 2500 feet of water. The mean
estimated depths of the three great
oceans are: Pacific, 13,440 feet; In
dian, 12,888 feet; Atlantic, 12,660 feet.
The profoundest hole in the Atlantic
is the Brown son Deep, in the "Porto
Rico Trench," where the bottom sinks
to a depth of 27.366 feet. Mount Ev
erest dropped Into that cavity would
lift Its head nearly 1800 feet above sea
leveL
It is. a singular fact that Just as
the loftiest peaks are found In moun
tain ranges, and not Isolated, so the
deepest depressions of the ocean exist
in long trenches, which are cut like
furrows in the sea bottom. The
greatest known trench of this kind
runs through the western part of the
Japan to the Nero Deep, already de
scribed, a distance of at least 2400
miles. m
However, this is not all one un
broken trench, but rather a series of
furrows more or less closely connected,
and bearing different names. Two
of the holes along this line are, re
spectively, 24,480 and 27,930 feet deep.
South of the equator. In the Pacific,
are the Tonga and the Kermandec
trenches, with measured depths of
30,136 and 30,930 feet. The least of
these is 1000 feet deeper than Mount
Everest.

The boat is now under way. Glanc

covered with plate glass, the operator

properly held by the point, before men

might lie beneath him.

larger than a bucket, is well-nigh In

permits. It Is asserted, a close ap

tile ships, he pulls a lever, shutting
off the engine. The operator then
grasps the handles of the propeller
shaft, places his feet on the pedals,
and moves forward under his own
power until he is within short torpedo
range of the hostile ship.
He stops and swiftly turns the hand
wheel before him. Its bevel gear re
volves upward the circular yoke from
the nose of the war-head of the tor
pedo until the point, formerly resting
on Its propeller, strikes a rod project

This rod in turn connects with a valve

charges air into the cylinder fastened
to the bottom of the boat.
The compressed air forces out a pis
ton in this cylinder. To the exterior
of this piston is attached a finger
resting behind a projection on the top
of the torpedo. The effect of the im

torpedo from its casing, a "T" slot on

THOMAS J. MORI ARTY, for years
a mechanical expert in the em
ploy of the government at the
torpedo station of the United States
navy, atlNewport, R. I., obtained some
Jime ag letters patent on a one-man
submarine, asserted to be suitable for
service oh shipboard as well as from
shore. Its exclusive function being the ,
locating and destroying of submarine
mines. Among the special fatures of j
this boat are the automatic contriv
ances said to insure safety and the
simplicity of construction in compar
ison with other devices costing many
times as much to build.
Mr. Moriarty was long ago impressed
with the Idea that the only way by
which to make the action of the tor
pedo actually certain was to put an ex
perienced operator inside it. From the
idea of putting a man inside it to that
of placing a man outside it the tran
sition was easy; and It then became a
question to give him a safe shelter.

and of discharging the projectile.
To accomplish these - essentials he
has devised a cigar shaped boat of
bronze plates, about 10 feet long. 3
feet deep and S feet wide. Beneath
this is suspended the Whitehead tor
pedo in a frame from which it is pro
pelled by compressed air when the op
erator has approached Bear the mark.
Let it be supposed, for example, that
a trip is to be made in the boat. Be

latch, holding closed the hatch, is
sprung and this cover with Its conning

about three feet square to the inter

opened, and the engine, specially de
vised for propelling the boat. Is ad

By means of a connection with the en

boat Is filled with compressed air to a
great pressnre. A light is placed on
the bottom sf the boat forward be

The Whitehead torpedo is slipped into
the casing beneath the boat, and the
circular yoke is revolved down over
Its nose until the point slips between
the plads of the small front propeller,
thus preventing its turning, as the
propeller actuates the firing mech
