SHINGLES PUT
ON FREE LIST
Washington, Jane 26. (I. N. S.)
Northwest lamber Interests lost a vig.
oronsly conducted fight over the sew
tariff hill this afternoon when the
senate voted, 4 to 18, to keep shingles
on the free list. The sesate turned
down an amendment offered by Senat
oror Borah, of Idaho, providing for a
duty of 25 cents a thousand os shin
gles. A
Washington, June 26. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL
The question whether shingles shall
stay on the free list, where the senate
finance committee put them, or be
subject to a tariff of 50 cents per
thousand, is before the senate today.
A set speech by Kellogg of Minnesota,
Republican, for free shingles, formed
the basis' of discussion. Kellogg con
tended that no tariff is needed, using
copious quotations from 4 government
statistics sad from lumbermen.
v Wi ate-asked, to, place. iiriffvfinj
sningies to xurtner ouroen mer people
who need houses, when there ta a
shortage In housing and a surplus In
Shingles, and when shingles are al
ready so high that some of the pro
ducers are quoted .In the West Coast
Lumberman as opposing further in
creases because of. the harmful effect i
It has," said the Minnesota senator.
"I am -a reasonable protectionist,
but I cannot go that far."
POISDEXTEE CUTS IN
As he proceeded Kellogg was inter
rupted from thrie to time by Senator
Poindexter of Washington who is
fighting for the tariff. Poindexter in- '
dicated that his information s that i
Oregon and Washington mills have
been forced into idleness by Canadian
competition. Kellogg responded by
reading a message from A. W. Cooper,
secretary of the Western Pine Associa
tion at Portland asserting that 90 per
cent of the shingle mills are operating
and' practically all are operating
that can.
Kellogg said the legislatures of Min
nesota, Colorado and California have
memorialized congress for free shingles
and he-has resolutions fro mboards of
trade, farm bureaus and retail lum
bermen and distributors from twenty
seven states.
KELLOGG IS ANSWERED
Poindexter replied to Kellogg, say
ing he could understand "why Minne
sota lumbermen, having exhausted
their timber, and having invested
heavily In Canadian timber now desire
the benefit of free trade." . Kellogg'
denied that this condition exists and
declared he would not favor a tariff
on shingles if all the lumbermen were
for it.
Poindexter quoted a telegram from
R. E. Allen, secretary of the West
Coast association, asserting that Min
nesota men own 250.000 acres of Cana
dian timber. Replying to statements
that lumbermen are divided as to "the
tariff on shingles, Poindexter said thit
may be true of lumbermen generally,
but shingle manufacturers are not di
vided and it is for producers of shin
gles that the tariff is wanted.
Poindexter and Keuogg were unable
to agree concerning the cost of produc
tion. Fire in Studio Is
Short and Teeming
With Brief Action
Puff. roar, smudge and char such
was the- short and simple history of a
fire in the studio of C. Flmore Grove a,
eighth, floor of the Morgan building,
this afternoon, which called many fire
fighting machines from their stations
and tied, up traffic at Broadway and
Washington streets tighter than a

By the time firemen had reached
the eighth floor with Bibcock exting

Damage was negligible, but it took
some time for the traffic cop at the

RIVER MOUTH
Unprecedented Depth at Aver
age Tide and 44 Feet at
Mean Low Water Indicated by
Survey; Jetties Do Dredging.
Fifty feet at the average stage of
the tide.
Forty-four feet at mean low water
over a width of more than a mile. I
These are predictions that come up
from the mouth of the Columbia where
a United States engineer corps survey
of harbor entrance depths is under
way.
Not for severa'i days will the sound
ings be finished and the official re
port made.
In the meantime the phenomenally
rapid improvement of the channel at
the mouth of the Columbia is an ex
clamation on the tongues of all
mariners. .
The entrance to the ports of the Co
lumbia is now unsurpassed by any
American port.
BAR DISAPPEARS
There used to be talk about a Co
lumbia river bar. It, disappeared be
fore the anti-alcoholic sentiment of the
country dismissed the brass rail kind
of bars. "Non est" Is its epitaphs to
day. In 1900 the Columbia entrance depth
was 23 feet ; in 1905. 2S.5 feet ; in 1910.
26 feet; in 1915, 30.5 feet; in 19-j, 41
feet, and in 1921, 43 feet.
In 1900 the Columbia harbor en
trance furnished very good passage for
'windjammers,'' schooners and the
like.
In this year of 1922 the Columbia
harbor entrance permits the passage
night or day of the largest ships
afloat.
And each year it grows a little
deeper.
During the past 10 years most of the
channel work that- really compelled
results was done. The south jetty was
complete In 1913 ; the north jetty was
finished In 1917. The Chinook, sec
ond largest dredger! in the world, was
not taken off the project and her very
effective work there until 1918.
DEPTH INCREASES ,
ftAWthe,. present, 'time ;h channel
narrowed by Jetties seems tS be; do-
ing Its own dredging..
' Columbia channel -depths have been
increasing as ' the harbor entrance has
been improved. There Is depth for
any ship, nearly, to the Port of As
toria docks. The 30-foot channel to
Portland is an -old story and energy is
bent now toward a channel 35 feet deep
and 500 feet wide. The channel to
North Portland is 25 feet deep and
equal depth is had in the channel to
Vancouver, Wash.
In the same deoa.de many millions in
vested in public terminal facilities have
established the ports of the Columbia
as among the best prepared for world
commerce. -
And export and import figures, by
the way, are keeping even upward pace
with channel improvement.

GIANT U. P. ENGINE
ROILS INT
When Union Pacific passenger train
No. 17 arrived from the East Sunday
night it was pulled into the Union
station by the most unique engine ever
constructed by railway equipment en
gineers; and one which has won the
praises of railway men for Its beauty :
of lines.
The engine is No. 7000 and is a
mountain type locomotive which has j
been designed by Union Pacific en
gineers for special duty on the trans-!
continental line. The locomotive has
been under construction for two years
and is considered the acme of achieve
ment for capacity of power in compar
ison with weight.
BRINGS TRAIN IN
The giant locomotive brought
the passenger train over four engine
divisions from Pocatello to Portland
and local officials were delighted with
its performance? Tonight the locomo
tive will make the run to Seattle for
experimental purposes and then it will
be returned to the mountain grades
in Eastern and Central Oregon.
When the engineers of the Union
Pacific and builders were set at work
upon the task of completing this trial
locomotive they had but one limitation.
that being the keeping of ' maximum
weight within 345.000 pounds. Operat
ing conditions were such that a heavier
locomotive could not be used.
HAS GREAT POWER
What was desired was a locomotive
that would maintain speeds of from
30 to 40 miles per hour with 12 to 14
steel passenger cars up ruling grades
of more than 1 per-cent. Trials made
on the westbound trip proved that the
engine Is able to meet with success
the work for which it was constructed.
The length of the engine without
tender is 54 feet 8 inches. The eight
driving wheels are 73 inches in di
ameter. All fixtures have: been elimi
nated above the running board, which
gives the locomotive - an impressive
appearance. The stack, steam dome,
sandbox, cab room and all' fixtures
on the top- of th boiler are ot-a uni
form height. The tractive effort which
can be exerted by the 'engine is' 54,838
pounds. The engine was constructed
by, the American Locomotive company.

STEIVER EXTOLS
RAPIDS'
Development of the Umatilla Rapids
project would be a greater asset to
Portland and Oregon than the whole
Willamette valley is now, in the opin
ion of Fred Stetwer of Pendleton, who
delivered nn address today , before the
members' forum luncheon of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Stelwer was accompanied . to Port
land by a group of prominent men of
Lastern Oregon and Eastern Wash
ington, and as their spokesman out
lined for local business men the mean
ing of of the -project, which heKesti
mated would cost 830,000,000 to com
plete.
Through the construction of a dam
across the upper Columbia river near
Devils Bend rapids, Stelwer said de
velopment work of more - importance to
Portland than the development of its
port would be accomplished. '
POINTS OUT RESULTS
Some of the results which, he said
would reasonably follow' such develop
ment would be the production of low
priced electric -power, the reclamation
of approximately 270.000 acres of arid
land and -the improvement of channel
conditions- which ' would encourage
great riyer -traffic Into - the Inland
Empire.

Poughkeepsie, "N. Y-. . June 2. The
varsity crewi of six universities were
to take over a three-mile stretch of
the Hudson's worried, waters here to-.
day' for the championship of collegiate
America.
Smiling skies and a spanking breese .
greeted the oarsmen. The wind is ex
pected to play sardonic pranks with
the chances of tke Navy and Pehnsyl- ..
vanla- which, having the outside lanes,
would be buffeted like straw In a gale.
In spite, of conditions, however, the
navy Is the prohibitive choice in what- '
ever betting is being done. The mid- ,
dies, retaining four members . of the .
crew that won the world's champion
ship at Antwerp and seven men front
last year's Poughkeepsie winner, are
believed to be the surest thing since -
hanging came into vogue among
Lsheriffs. ' ' . 4 .t . -- - -
Cornell, with "a typical' Courtney -eight
that rows better, in-board, than
the navy, mustered as fine a bit of
blade work as has been seen in many -a
year. But the Itbacan felKshort'
of the navy In one essential power;
There is no crew Jn America today
that can row its stroke np to 36-and
still retain its form the way the navy -does.
It looked like another Annapo
lis year and you couldn't tell. the naval :
officers on -the observation train and ' ,
the sinister looking submarine, lying
to at the head of the course, anything ;
different. .
Cornell, jockeyed along by its great
stroke Fillus, figured to finish second,
about three lengths of the pace, with
Syracuse and the University of Wash- "
ington fighting it out for third place. -
The Western entry, a fine upstand- '
Ing eight, with the best form a coast i
crew ever showed here, seemed to be
handicaped by a short stroke. "
Pennsylvania and Columbia' were
outsiders. '
