P .; ... t. .1 m CLAIM UP BEFORE ENGE NEERSMONDAY ' Washington City Is Asking for 30-Foot Channel; E.'M, Cousin Gathers Data for Presentation. Vancouvt- Wash.. Oct. 16. The federal board of engineers on rivers and harbors will meet In Vancouver Monday, to decide whether or not ir....,.,,., rHfll h eranted a 30- foot channel. Data for presentation to the engineers "has been secured under the direction of E. M. Cousin of Portland and traffic manager of the port. Although the col lection of the data has been made fcy Cousin, he declares that the hearing on ' Monday is the personal business of every progressive man and woman in .Van couver. . - Cousin declares that the decision of the board on Monday will affect every person in Vancouver, and that the inter est displayed by the people of Vancou ver in the project will prphably be a jjreat factor in .the final decision made by the engineer. CEHTIO.V PARAMOUNT ' While, he atated, an adverse devision does not necessarily mean that Vancou ver will never secure a 30-foot channel, the development, of the city will natu rally be retarded to a considerable ex tent, , The inducements that Vancouver will have to offer new industries will not only depend on the favorable decision of the board, but the retention of indus tries now here will be affected by the decision. Vancouver-built ships must be loaded at the Portland municipal docks on ac count of the lack of facilities here. The Waban and Coaxet, ships constructed and launched from the Standlfer steel yards, have been loading at Portland's Municipal Dock No. during the past week. , ' The lumber industry, which prpmises to be Vancouver's leading industry, will also be deeply affected by the construc tion of the 30 foot channel and dock. The Improvement of a deep harbor will, Cousins declared, be the best remedy for the freight rate which will, It is said, prove very detrimental to the lumber and steel Industries. LOCAL VIEW IMPORTANT While ,Cousln believes that Vancou ver's cause Is a Just one and that the natural facilities here are all In favor of Vancouver becoming the commercial and shipping, center of the Northwest, he declares that the decisions on Mon day will be largely due to the attitude of local people. "If we secure the desired appropria tion now we will be able to go ahead 'without delay. Much will depend on the attitude of Vancouver's citizens. If the engineers find that the business men do not care one way or another, it is prov able that the decision will he adverse. If It Is demonstrated' that nil Vancouver la behind the fiht, we will have the odds In our favor."

The engineers to Ibis end will discuss J( it r dredging, plan, tin; construction of pertnanent virig dams to make the river fio Its own ilredginc. jetty main tenance and resumed dredging at the harbor entrance. A 30-foot channel of the kind pro posed involves a depth of 25 feet or--j more at nlmost all seasons. inx-n a channel would he the best world adver tisement lh: ports of the 'olumhia have had. Van cot' v v. it cask vitai, "Tho hearlns: which the army engineer board will crant the I'ort of Vancouver at Vancouver. Wash., on Monday con stitutes, in effect, a court to do deferred justice. Vancouver is on the Columbia, four miles from the confluence of the Wil lamette and Columbia, and, hence, four miles from connection wlj.h the Port land ship channel. - ., , , Vancouver is on the northern prong of the three-pronged .pal -development which nature permits ,and Jfuture com merce will 'demand at the head of deep sea navigation on the Columbia. The other wq - prongs - are the WQlametU and, North Portland harbor ' - ; Vancouver is recognised a entitled to a 10-foot channel In the four-mile In terval because f her port acUYlty.'her bonded authorization for ocean terminal facilities, her Industrial awakening, her strategic location and the government's own necessity for transport access to the waterfrontags of Vancouver barracks. EXGIlTEEBg HOLD SET The" army engineer board recommends to congress whether that body should or should not appropriate money for waterway improvement Congress, though bound by section 500 of the trans portation act to nourish water trans portation under previous rule, always demandB from the engineers an impartial showing that the improvement Is needed, that it will be used and that local com munities will tangibly cooperate.

Charges that third degree methodshad been used in extorting confessions of guilt from Kerby. Bancroft, Rathie, Stoop and Henderson, the five sentenced murderers of Sheriff Til Taylor, have so far failed in the grand Jury in vestigation of the conduct of the Umatilla county jail, according to the report of the Jury Saturday that testimony of 13 witnesses had estab lished no definite proof and that "the reported abuse has been greatly exaggerated and magnified beyond belief." Testimony of men of this city who were star witnesses in the presenta tion of the case , for the defense of Kerby and Rathie has jiot yet been Introduced before the Jury, but will be taken by the same body when it meets again late in November.
