OJ !Txe gnttg gsUwrfcra. . ASTORIA. OREGON: SATURDAY OCT. 2U. 1SSI J. I". If U.LUIMX Editor. Tne Columbia Itor. Tin: opinion.-- of '('apt.1' (or- iiu'ft relative to the Columbia, us j promulgated a few days ago at Portland, do not seem to meet with any great amount or endorse ment. We pointed out two inac curacies of statement at the time he made his speech. The follow- ing'-day a correspondent submitted a communication showing the fal lacy of his conclusions, and in a letter to the Standard, Chas. F. Powell, after reviewing his state ments in reference to the Missis .fjppi,- and criticising them as gently as possible, goes on to say: The Columbia river bar is a 1 wave-drift bar, and there is an uh - doubled existence along its face of a powerful shore current. There aie several examples in Europe, notab'ry at the Sulina mouth of the Danube, and more ihan forty drift-bar harbors on our northern lakes, where jetties have , successfully maintained an in ' creased -depth, averaging more t han one hundred per cent, in the na tural depth. The latest application of jetties, in this, country, is at Galveston, and they are too new and incom plete to give a decided result, newspapers, however, record that in the early part of this month the steamship .San Antonia crossed Galveston bar drawing four inches more than the deepest draught ever before carried oveY, even at the 'highest spring tide. A channel in the Columbia river bar, twenty-five feet at low water . by one hundred feet, would re quiie the removal of" 129,000 cubic yards of material, to say nothing of waste work rendered necessary 10 -aenure the required dimensions. If" -such a narrow and insecure chann'el were obtained, of what practical value wauldit be? When we r-fer to the channels of the river bats to depths of twenty-five feet, ldw water, it will be found that the six bars between Portland and. Astoria grow in number and i-i'e." 'Considering the sea and liver bars together, the probable amount of annual dredging is im mensely larger than that given in the addi-cis before the Uoard of Trade. TIih sweeping denunciation in that address, of the 1 raining ol nv.ers.at low stages, to make thorn scour out deep channels and the false inferences drawn from it, in the editorial of Monday morning's paper are directly opposed to the universal praetice of engineers. In all sediment bearing rivers, like tlio Lower Willamette, and unlike the St. Lttwrence, dredging is a temporary expedient, or auxiliary .tojpermaneut works; it is only iisedjasa principal method of Im provement in slack water and on bottoms -too hard for erosion. The inculcation of doctrines different from these is pernicious in a com munity where it is proposed to r.iie funds for river improvement. H) stories or the Antarctic. i t The long projected Italian ex pedition for .the exploration of the Antarctic cas was announced to " leJaYe Genoa on the 3d of this moi.ih, and is now probably on its wavtoBuqnos Ay res. t is the joint enterprise of a Genoese com- inittee, and the Argentine govern ment Lieutenant B'ove, the com mander, left Europe some time ago for the Argentine capital, to makejpr.eparations for the great austral voyage, and some of the professors who are to take charge of the scientific work cf the expe dition are awaiting him in South Annerica. The possibilities that lie before the Italians in their present perilous undertaking: are .among, the most momentous to which geographic research can aspire. The vast ocean they are to penetrate, extending south of Cape Horn, the Cape of Good - Hope and Tasmania in uninter rupted .grandeur around the globe, is the most important division of -4thevorld's waters; because it is " the cradle of those grand move ments of tides and currents which are thence ceaselessly propagated into the oceans of our hemisphere. moghe deep sea surveys of .the Challenger expedition, Pro fessor Wyville Thompson clearly traced mp to the north of the Equator an immense underflow of South Polar glacial water, creeping northward along the floor of the Atlantic, while in the Pacific it has long been known that another mighty glacial flow from the Ant arctic basin reaches the coast of Chili and Peru, and finally merges into, if it does not originate, the Equatorial current of the Pacific. A few gallant navigators have crossed the Antarctic Circle, but with the exception of Sir .lames Ross and Weddell, none of them have reached beyond the seventy- j second parallel. It can hardly be hoped that Lieut. Bove will be able approach as near the South Pole b3' ten degrees of latitude as our Arctic voyagers have ap proached the Xorth; but there nevertheless lies beforp him a magnificentand comparatively now field of exploration. Fal Steamer. A New York dispatch to the Oregonian, says that the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. will launch, about December 1st, a now iron steamship, Queen of the Pacific, now being built by W. Cramp & Sons. The steamship will be 020 feet in length, 38.V feet beam and 27 feet depth of hold. She will be 22 feet longer and one foot wider than the State of California. She will have G2 staterooms, -40 of which are upon the upper deck. There will be a full promenade deck over all. Most of the state rooms are 10x1 G feet, and all will bo fitted in the latest and best-improved style. The dining saloon is to bo large and airy, and situ ated on the main deck. She will have compound engines, 4ox$Q inch cylinder. Eight boilers with power to indicate 3,000 horse power, or one-third more than the State of California has. She will have a carrying capacity of 2,000 tons. The vessel is being built at an exppnse of 400,000 and specially adapted for the passen ger traffic of the Pacific coast, and with that object in view no ex pense has been spared in con struction, finish or furniture. The vessel is to make 10 knots an hour at her ordinary speed. This will give her the fastest speed of any vessel on this western coast. "Wr unite in the prayer that you may rulp over us' in the fear of the Lord, and may he the hon ored instrument in His hands of great bles-sings to the whole na tion,' said a recent delegation of ministers to the President. The President of the Tinted Males does nor. "rule over" the people of this country. The 'American peo ple rule themselves. They depute President?., Senators, Representa tives, Governor?., Magistrates, Leg islators and the like to attend to the details or government simply; the power to rule' resides v i t h them, and it cannot be alienated. AYe have many public servants, but no rulers. The Senate has confirmed 1V1 ger as Secretary of the Treasury, James as Postmaster General, ami Hatton 'First Assistant Postmaster General. Emory Storrs of Chi cago has been tendered and ac cepted the attorney generalship, with the understanding that he serve only in the star route prose cutions until December. GurrjiAifs trial has been post poned till the 21st prox. NEW TO-DAY. Campi's Restaurant.
