A 30 -FOOT CHANNEL TO THE SEA Portland' Waterway to Ocean Commerce THK FOKTS OK PORTLAND AXD ASTORIA NOW POSSESS THK DEEP EST HARBOR ENTRANCE ON THE PACIFIC COAST. American engi neering has completely overcome the unsaUafactory channel conditions formerly existing at the entrance to these harbors. The Columbia river bar so widely advertised by rival ports has been, overcome by the construction of two great rock jetties. THESE GREAT WALLS, respectively seven and one-half and two and one-half miles in length, constructed by the federal government at a cost exceeding 118.000,000, confine the discharge of the Columbia river and thus create a harbor entrance of forty-two feet mean water depth. Natural scouring of the river bottom, increased by the jetty construction, Is constantly producing a greater depth, with the result that a fifty-foot low water entrance may be expected within five or six years. THE APPROACH AND VICINITY OF THE ENTRANCE CHANNEL are shown by a detailed coast survey chart to be free fromunken rocks or other hidden obstructions. Their absence, connected with the uniform slope of the ocean bed, creates a very accessible entrance, permitting vessels to stand close in when seeking to enter the river. Less fog exists at the mouth of the Columbia river than at any other port entrance on the Pacific coast. Fog statistics for the past 10 years show an average yearly fog of but S96 hours at the entrance to the Columbia river, whereas San Francisco averages 1591 hours and Puget sound 1306 hours. FFOM PORTLAND TO THE SEA there exists a channel with minimum-depth of thirty feet mean lower low water. This channel represents the fruits of permanent dike construction and dredging completed some years ago. The dredged portions of the channel have a minimum width of 300 feet, and up to S00 feet where cuts are located In the bend of the river and where other condiv tlons require a wider channel. Great stretches of deeper water between cuts afford frequent and adequate anchorage places where vessels may swing with the tide, without interference to navigation.
