IHPBOVEMEKTH AND WORK MF
How the Appropriations Have Been Expend
ed-TheFators Work-Ths
North 6each"Jtty.
The annaul report of the engi-j
reers. Charles F.Powell and Oapt.
Willard Young, who have been in
charge ot the works at Yaquioa for
the two years past shows that the
prevailing depth over the bar at
low water before improvements
wret7 feet io 8 feet. Three dis
tinct channels existed, known as
the north, middle and south
nels. The south channH was the
most used, bat was rendered dan
gerous by the presence of rocks.
The middle channel, though free
from rocks was usually the shoal
cst of tbe three aud so was little
used. The north channel besides
being long and tortuous, was so
studded with rocks as to be consid
ered unnavigable. Owing to the
shiftless nature of tbe bar, these
channels were constantly changing
both in portion and in depth.
WORK DONE DURING THE TEAR.
- It was thought that the funds
available at the beginning of the
year would permit an extension of
iiOO leet to be made to the jetty
during (he jear. However, such a
scourmg tooK place around the
head oi the jetty as it advanced as
to necessitate using much more
stone lliao was estimated for. On
this account an extensiou of only
400 feet was made.
An examination made June 9
1888, showed the channel to have h
depth of 11 feet at iow-watcr. and
to be straight out on a line a ti tle
to tbe north of but parallel to the
jetty.
A spur-dike for shore protection
will also be needed.
If the present project is carried
out an extension seaward ol about
1,500 fet-t wi.l have to be made.
A project was submitted by Cap
tain Chas. F. Powcli, Corps ol
Engineers, on April 0, 1887 (pasre
Annual report of the Chief of
Engineers, 1887), for aj jtty on the
north side of the entrance. This
j;!tv would close the north channel,
thronh w hich at certain times ot
the year, t large part of the tidal
waters p ss, aud would, with Hie
snutli j.;tty, tcud to concentra'e the
tidal currents in one centntl ditto
nel, and thus insure the deepest
wxter p:aci;cabi over the bur.
No notice h;i been received oi ilia
approval of this project, though
Department instructions by tele
graph of Iste date direct mat the
estimates in this report provide tor
a north jetty.
Such an improvemca to the en
trance as will permit foreign grain
ships to cross out, when iouded,is
most urgently demanded. A vig
orous prosecution ot tbe work of
improvement would not interfere
with navigation ; and for tbe sake j
of economy it is desirable tbat the
work should progress rapidly.
The whole amount asked for could
be piodtably expended in one
year.

PLAN OF IMPROVEMENT.
The approved project,adopted in
1881, is to run out a dyk? or jetty
on the south side ot the entrance
so as to cause the south canal to
aud the flow to be deflected north
ward, with a view lo opening and
maintaining tbe centrtl channel,
with a least depth of 17 feet at
high water.
As originally projected, the dyke
was to start from near low water
line and run out into the sea a dis
tance ot 2,500 tect, and was to rise
to 2 feet above nieau low water.
The beach on tbe line of the jetty,
from Jiigh-water level to low water
level, was to be protected tiy sink
ing gabions in the beach with saud
heaped over them, and by covering
the surface with a layer of mattres
ses aud stone.
The stone for the jetty wa9 to be
deposited in place from b'rges,and
cribs were to be used,U practicable.
It way fov.ud however that ci OS
Cuisiii ml be used ou account of ;
the strong currents and high seas'
and aat the ocean 8 well, even in
quiet weather, was too great t
permit thu nse of stone barges.
Accordingly, the jetty had to be
built from' the shore end, carrying
the stone out over a tramway, and
was begun at high tide line instead
of at low-tide line, thus making
the total projected length of the
jetty, in 1881, 3,700 feet. In 1884
the jetty was extended shoreward
a distance of 316 feet, making the
present total projected length of
the jetty about 4000 feet.

Oodex, Jan. 1JL Old man Wig,
a well-known weather prophet of
Northern Idaho, announces that
the winter yet to come will he the
severest ever known. He based
his prediction on the assertion that
the mcon is away out of its place
i n the heavens, be ng several de
grees further north than usual,
which, in his opinion, ia an nnf ail
ing sign of cold weather.
"I never knew it to fail,' he said
the other day, in discussing the
matter. "If the moon had only
gone a little out of its way I
wouldn't say a word, but here it ia
at least 5000 miles further north
than it has any business to be.
Three times since I have lived here
this thing has happened, and there
has always been killing weather.
One time it was so cold that the
earth cracked and men were frozen
stiff standing up. I never saw the
moon so far north before though,
and I tell you to look out for what's
a coming."
