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
