Two hundred men have been put to
work within the past week by the Co
lumbia Contracting company of this
city, getting out rock at Fisher's quar
ry for the extension of the Jetties at
Columbia bur, says a Portland paper.
Nine barges are used ln transporting
the rock from the quarries to the land
ing ut Fort Stevens, where the forces
engaged on the Jetty load It on cars
and run It out over the railroad track
to the beginning of the new two-mile
extension.
The work of extending the Jetty will
take about two years, ns a result of
the recent appropriation of $2,600,000
by congress. The south. Jetty will
then have extended to a total distance
of seven miles from the main land. No
work has yet been done on the pro
posed Jetty on the north side of the
mouth of the Columbia, but the pro
ject of this second Jetty Is looked up
on with favor by the government en
gineers, who have made the necessary
surveys.
Dan Kern, manager of the delivery
of the rock, expects to put on about
200 more laborers within the next 60
days, as soon as more facilities for
handling the rock have been establish
ed at Fort Stevens. At present, the
delivery of rock amounts to about 2000
tons a day. This rock Is mostly of
Icrge size, ranging from a weight of
15 tons to E0 ponnds. It Is a hard
basalt that will resist the wear anl
erosion of the sea water, and by Its
weight will keep . In the position In
which It Is placed.
"We pay our men from $2 to 14 a
day of 10 hours," Mr. Kern says, "and
we are getting all the men we want
at present. In fact, more are apply
ing for work than we can accommo
date, and the men, as a rule, are wil
ling to do more work than they were
last year, and do nol quit suddenly
and without provocation, as they used
to when work was plentiful and tilgh
prlccd." The Fisher's Landing quarries are
(Ituated on the north side of the Co
lumbia river, some nine miles above
Vancouver. The quality of the rock
produced Is said by the government
engineers to be better than that found
anywhere else along the lower Columbia.

the secretary of the Interior before
whom he made his appeal.
In the mirtter of the herd district,
some days ago Reubens addressed a
communication to the commissioners
stating he and his tribesmen desired

the board to hear 'them. The board
notified them to be present.

CATS PROTECT THE 'MAIL.
Portland PoKofric Is Sorely ffnfestcd
WIUi Itat and Mice.
On duty at the Portland, poatofflce
night and day are several cats. And
they are not pets nor are they kept
their for their beauty or to be admir
ed by the clerks, says a Portland pa
per. The cats nre kept t the postot
flce to protect the mail from raU
and mice and they cost the govern
ment $24 a year.
Portland is one of the fev post-
offices in the country for which the; u g M

used to buy food for the cats, though
this seems somewhat of a reflection
upon their ability to catch the pesky
little rodents.
At times much trouble wus former
ly experienced by the postal clerks
there because of the fact that rats
and mice wero always gnnwlng the
mall pouches and opening letters ad
dressed to Individuals, regardless of
the penitentiary penalty Imposed upon
Individuals for such an act.
It has been found that cats cannot
live on rat dainties or choice bits of
mice, and milk and meat must be
supplied at Intervals. Consequently
AUTO RACES FOR ROSE SHOWS.
Hlspcn Events In History of the West
to Re Swi In Port la ml.
Few Portland people realize the
Importance of the big automobile
races the local motor club is. putting
on during the rose festival, but noth
ing like It was ever attempted In the
west before, says the Telegram. The
northwest has never attempted an
automobile event greater than dinky
races on tracks and ln California
where there are thousands of cars, en
durance and hlll-cliniblng contests
have been about the limit.
Road races are the true tests for
cars and this one will be In the front
rank of the movement for testing the
actual stock cars sold the public, bnd
not some specially built flyer. No
outside racers will be brought In and
only makes will be admitted that are
represented here by agents now.
The course chosen Is an Ideal one
and will truly rank next to the Van
derbilt and Urinrcliff, as lias leen
said. Starting at the school house
mar Mnntaville, the course goes s.iuth
one mile to the section line road,
thence east six miles to near Gresh-
am, thence north one mile to the
Twelve-Mile road and west to the
starting point.
The course is between 14 and 15
miles long. The county commission
ers have given It up for one afternoon
and the governor has promised the
state militia to guard It. It will be
oiled at the expense of $2300. and the
ins widened. Three hundred thou
sand peoplo attended the Vandorbllt
race, so this event ought to be one of
the main attractions of the carnival.
The. course will be a true test for
the cars because every variMy of turn
will be met. There will be the square
cornet, the s curve in tne section
line road, near Oresham, another
kink beyond and the seven-mile down
grade from Twelve-Mile House to
Montavilla. That Is as pretty a
stretch of road as there is In the
country, and many of the drivers will
hit up 60 miles an hour doing It. The
prizes In the 100 and 50-mile race
will be handsome and costly cups for
permanent trophies, which a man
must win three times consecutively
to become owner.
