Jeffreys favored The Astoriak, employes with some finely flavored ice cream yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Malcolm arrived on Sun day's steamer, and advertises her spring opening of choice millinery goodt next Thursday and Friday. Thero is very little doing in the way of shipping; this coupled with the reduced rates of pilotage makes the business anything but proGtable at present. Regular communicition of Tem pla Lodge No. 7, F. and A. M., this evening at the Masonic Hall. Visit ing brethren welcome. Work in the M. M. degree. Probable Suicide. About one o'clock yesterday after noon the employes of the Point Adams and White Star Packing companies returning from dinner heard the cr, 'Man overbo.ird." Hastening to the end of the dock Iinmanuel Johnnsen was seen in the water. A plank was flung to him but he made no apparent efiorljto reach it, sinking from sight a few moments after being seen. There aro several versions of the affair, some stating that he shot himself in the forehead and then jumped into the water, others who claim to know, deny that he shot himself or that he had a retolrcr about h:s person. 7t seems a settled fact however that the unfor tunate man commuted suicide by leaping off the dock. What Jin rea sons were, are uiiLn twn. He masa stockholder in the Point Ad.uns Co., a quiet, ste-idy young fellow, 20 or 28 years of age, and seemed to lie all right every way, except that for the last two weeks his comrades noticed that at times he talked and acted in a very singular manner. He belonged to a Scandinavian society in Portland who will be communicated with. At latest accounts the body had not been recovered. KBAIiIZING- THE SITUATION The Umatilla went up stream yes terday morning; the Eurcl:a arrived down and sailed for Sitka in the after noon. Tho Oregon is due this morn ing; the Queen comes Jown to-morrow. The ship Oracle, 1550 tons; built at Bath in 1870 and owned by J. Hitchcock and others, is -reported a total wreck off Capo Horn. The Ora cle was commanded by Captain Mor rison, who visited this port with his ship in 1881, sailing November 7 with a wheat cargo. Orcgonian. The sawing off of the ends of the piles in front of the Occident where the street is being repaired shows how long lived they aro in theso waters. Though exposed to the swash of the tide for sixteen years they showed as fresh a surface and firm a toxture as tho day they were driven Into place. It is reported, says the S. F. Commercial News, thit the ship H. S. Gregory, from Tacoma with wheat, which was abandoned at sea, was so filled with foul gasses that one sea man was killed from inhaling them, and tho captain and most of the crew were made sick from the same cause. It this is true, it is in order to know what sort of wheat was shipped on her. The Umatilla's Freight The Umatilla arrived in Sunday with a choice assortment of live and rolling stock in addition to her regu lar cargo. The livo stock embraced some fine Alderney cows for W. S. Ladd, of Portland; the rolling stock included four locomotives, each with a tender behind, for the N. P. R R, TheEe locomotives were brought over land and were in a remarkably good state of preservation. One of them weighs 129,738 pounds, has ten wheels and can draw 100 cars. It is a largo locomotive. The Umatilla also brought the vegetables for Astoria that we blamed 'Captain Alexander for not leaving last Sunday. The fact that Captain Alexander didn't hawj the vegetables on board his steamer was the reason that they did not appear as usual in tho marts of trade. What was of the most inter est to Astorians in the matter of freight was a great pile ot iron pipe for the Columbia Water company which was put on the dock and will be put in place forthwith. Very Brief Mention. Henry Villard and party arrived hero yesterday morning. They board jd tho Wide West at Astona Saturday morning and went to Kalama where they lay all night, intending to leave by special train for Tacoma next morning. But the day beiug nuv and stormy and Mr. Villard feeling indis posed, it was decided to como here. The programme for Mr. Villard's movement this week has not been arranged and he will probably remain here several days. Orcgonian, 1G. If all the money which has. at one time or another been spent on tho lower Willamette and Colombia rivers had been applied at om tims and on permanent works we should now have little trouble with the bars; but it has been doled out by dribblets and spent in dredging and other temporary ex pedients. The only permanent work done has been at the mouth of the Willamette, where the channel, by means of confinement of the liver's flow and the protection of caving clay banks, huu been permanently deep ened six fe:. If this work couM De completed according to the trngntei's, plans, the depth ou!d l.e incieascdi four more feet; hut, owing to the lack of money, it mut be abandoned , in its incomplete jUte. The perfect success of this work :i5-ur.i!n;e of the intelligence of its plan; ard ih s plan, only modified in method ss, different situations require, is the one .... . i proposed Jinr nil the bars. It is simply to conGne the waters, direct them nronerlv. and compel them to cut a deep channel for themselves. Experience here, on vthe Mississippi and elsewhere has demonstrated that this plan cm be made effective in streams where there is a constant current. This plan is based upon no untried theory, nor upon hasty con sideration of the condition which it must meet and of the results desired; but after a careful and intelligent view of local conditions which have been closely watched for many years. If $150,000 wo speak approximately and not by authority was put into tho hands of the United States engin eer, to be applied to river work, a permanent channel carrying 2-t feet of water at all seasons could be made between Portland and Astoria. To maintain this depth, dredgers would occasionally have to be employed, but thfese we havo already. And now, shall we allow the prosperity of Port land to suffer check and set back for the lack of this little sural The gov ernment will not furnish it; that is certain. If tho channels are" not deepened we shall pay high charter rates for little ships, while big ones will load our grain, either below the St. Helens bar on the Columbia river, or at Tacoma or Seattle on Puget Sound. Every time a cargo of Ore gon wheat is carried pa9t Portland to the lower Columbia or to Puget Sound to be put on ship board, real estate in Portland receives a blow. Portland must fur nish the money needod to improve tho rivers or suffer the loss of many times over the amount ireeded in its prop erty value. Besides, Pugot Sound will soon be very near at hand, and in its nearness there is danger to Port land. Think of it, men of property! Yesterday's Orcgonian.
