The unusual sight of a waterspout was noticed off Tongue Point about three o'clock yesterday afternoon. It swung northward, and doubtless made some Washington Territory man think that a small section of the day of judgment had struck him when it "lit."

There was three circuses all go ing at onoe. Wait till morning, and when my head gets rested Til tell you all about it." At the school meeting in District 18 last Tuesday evening, it was decided that the directors see if tne proposed addition to the building could be built for 2,500, and if so they were authorized to nego tiate a loan for that amount, a tax of five mills being the probable levy for the pur pose if decided upon.

JEWETT, Rec Sec THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE COLUM BIA BAR. The Manner in Which It couplished. I to Be Ac- Astoria, July 15, 18S4. Ed. Ahterian: Somo say $100,000 has been appropri ated by congress for improving the bar at the mouth of the river. Others say $150,000. Which is it, and in what man ner will the improvement be made? An answer to this question will oblige. Sucscuiceb. The rher and harbor appropriation bill passed by congress contains the fol lowing item: "Improving the mouth of the Colum bia river, Oregon and Washington terri tery: commencing improvement in ac cordance witbrthe plan recommended by the majority of the board of engineers in 1882, $150,000." So that $150,000 is to be applied to the beginning of the project. The manner of doing the work is best shown by the official report of the loard, which met in this city two years ugo, here subjeined: The plan proposed by tho board is based on these ideas. The structure is kept down to the level of low water, nnd iherefore does not materially obstruct the inflow of the flood-tide. It regulates and directs the- whole volume of the ebb below the level of low water. The board lecoimnends tho construc tion, at as early n day as possible, of a jettv, slightly convex to tho north, ex tending from tho shoro near Fort Stevens in a northwesterly direction towards u B)int about three miles south of Cape isappointment, this jetty to stop short of that point or be prolonged beyond it, as experience may indicate to be neces sary. Its location is shown on tho chart herewith of tho engineer hydrographv of 1881 and 1882. It is impossible to state in advance ex actly the width that the work should give to tho chnnuel at Cape Disappoint ment to secure deep wat6r on the new bar outside. That tho maintenance of tho works may be practicable it certainly must not be too small. Three milos have been taken, which will be somewhat re duced by the continued oxistence, in n modified form, of Peacock spit. A cer tain latitude in tho amount of con traction is very desirable. Should that adopted be too small, it can be increased by either raising tho jetty somewhat, or by a short jetty on Peacock spit. This jetty is expected to bo mainly of stone, and the estimate is on that basis. In depths greater than about 15 feet nt high water, whero it is found practicable to lay mattresses, the structure should bo as follews: Thero should first bo laid a very strongly-built mattress about 3 feet thick, and upon this a layer of rubble Btouo three feet thick; then n mound of stones of large size, with a top width of not less than 5 feet, tho slopo on tho out side to bo one perpendicular on 3 base, and on the inside ono perpendicular on 2 base. Where the shock of heavy seas is to bo sustained, this mound should be faced with beton blocks of from 5 to 20 cubic yprds each. Tho apron which forms "tho foundation of the mound should project in moderately smooth water 10 or 15 feet beyond its base, and 25 feet where the seas are heavy. Where mattresses eannot be placed, owing to the roughness of the water, the apron of rubble stone should bo C feet thick. In water less than 15 feet deep at high water tho jetty should consist of n mat tress 30 or 10 feet in width, covered by stone. The jetty is intended to be brought up to the level of low water. It is estimated that of this jetty 5,000 linear feet may be built in water of C feet depth or less at low water; 7,500 in water between C and 11 feet; 4,000 in water be tween 11 and 1G feet; 7,500 in water be tween 16 and 21 feet; and that the last 7,500 feet will need the facing of heavy beton blocks. The facing of this last 7,500 feet is expected to add 25 per cent, to what its cost would be if not so pro tected. The prices below are on a basis of $5 per cubic yard of the whole mass in place. 5,000 linear feet at $45 $ 225,000 7,500 linear feet at 80 000,000 4,000 linear feet at $140 500,000 7,500 linear feet at $310 2,325,000 Total $3,710,000 The position is ono of very great ex posure, and the allowance for contingen cies should bo large, probably not loss than 50 per cent. If this margin be ac cepted, the total estimate amounts in round numbers to 5,500,000. It should bo stated, however,that while the board considers stone to be the ma terial which must form the great mass of the structure, we do not desire to dis courage tho use of wood in the shape of mattresses or pile work in tho shoaler water, and indeed wherever it may be found practicable to introduce it, if econ omy in construction bo thereby promot ed. A favorable circumstance in this connection is tho apparent absence, over a considerable length of the proposed work, of the sea worm, which in some other sections of the country proves so very hurtful to structures of which wood is a part, and practically prohibits its use for works of a permanent character. The work proposed transfers, in effect, the river section now existing at Chinook Bint, with depths of 40 feet, to Capo isappointment, G miles farther seaward. Judging from the present form of tho river mouth, this will throw the sea bar seaward of the present one, with deep water on it. If tho work is built and it causes a deep channel to bo cut across the sand cordon, it must yet be expected that ultimately a new sand cordon will be formed far to seaward of its end. But considering cither the slight projeo tion to be noticed in tho present 100-foot curve opposite tho mouth of tho river, or from the small amount of sediment in the river as compared with great sediment-bearing rivers, such an event seems too remote to enable even a guess to be made as to its date. In a location like tho mouth of the Co lumbia river, where tho building of any work of magnitude is certain to bo ono of great difficulty, it is impossilo to fore see with precision the order of construc tion in its details, and much latitude roust be left to the judgment of tho local en gineer in changing them and perhaps tho location selected, as varying conditions may indicate or cnanges occur. The cross section upon which tho eati mate is made, is considered to be an ap proximate one which may need to bo in creased or decreased in nlaces the best that can be now devised under the cir cumstances and as that which may be ultimately assnmed by tho structure. IE is me opinion ui me imijuniy tutu the work proposed should be brought only to the level of low tide. If. however, ex perience should demonstrate tho neces sity for raising the jetty to any level greater than that of low water, it can be readily dono on tho lower jetty as a foundation. It should be observed, how ever, that the violence of the waves will be more severely felt and tho difficulty of maintaining any work be increased as its height is tho greater. The board realizes and has already called attention to tho exposure of tho position and tho difficulty to bo expected in DUUUlUg mo Jtvljt wapuviittijj its uuici pert; but it is to be observed that the head of the jetty will be partly covered by tho middle sands, and be thus sheltered from the most severe wave action. The local engineer is of the opinion that the effect of the great number of lnrcrfl nets used in the salmon fishing is injurious by causing a general leveling of the shoals, from contact of the heavy sinker lino with the bottom, and a dimin ution of the current nt tho time when the river is in flood and charged with sediment. This opinion is shared by other persons who have been questioned, though by no means by all. While there is a coincidence between tho gradual lpBeninc of death in the channels and a flattening of the shoals during the years from 1879 to 1882, and the commencement and increase of fishing on the bar, the other members of tho board soo no evi dence in the facts brought to their atten tion that this is more than a coincidence, or that the fishing on tho bar has been a cause of shoaling of tho channels to an nnnrMaMfl at hnrffnl extent. It has been proposed to forbid by law fishing below the lino connecting Chinook point and Point Adams. It is said that such a regulation would be generally acceptable to tho fishing interests S3 tending to pre vent los3 of life of fishermen on the bar, and the driving of fish away from the month of the river. The board, whilo inviting attention to this matter, does not feel called upon to recommend legis lation concerning it. In 1868 much of Clatsop spit was out of water, and there was a south channel with twenty-fivo feet in it. It might bo hoped, then, that a work which should only aim to raise Clatsop 6pit above low water would again leave the conditions of 186S with a good south'channel. The board does not feel any "confidence in such a result, Hot to its permanence should it occur. Such a work would tend to throw the ebb current towards Cape Disappointment, and in -this respect would perhaps in-part produce the effects expected from the jettv proposed by the board, but in a les3 effective way. Should the jettv of tho board, when extended to the northern edge of Clatsop spit, pro duce the depth -of water in the north channel aimed nt, iz: 30 feet nt low water, no engineer .should think of carry ing tho jetty farther. The board has also considered the pro priety of raising tho jetty to mid tide, and tho opinion of tho majority is that it should be kept at first to the level of low water. Tho reasons for this conclusion are the following, which havo been ad verted to in another part of tho report. A work brought up to low -water will bo quite effective in directing the ebb lido, while it would interfere much less with the inflow of the flood tide. The expo sure to waves and the consequent diffi culty and cost of construction will be considerably less if tho lower height of the jettv proves to be sufficient. If this height be too little, it can be in creased. It seems worthy uf spocial remark that while thero aro differences of opinion among the membors of tho board as to tho height and length to bo given to the jetty starting from Point Adams, there is entire unanimity as to tho necessity for such a structure. Four members of the board think tho height at first need not be greater than the level of low water, but the outer end should be at a point nearly south of Capo Disappointment. Lieutenant Colonel Mendell is of the opinion that underexistingcircumslanccs it is not expedient to extend the work be vond the limits of Clatsop spit, but he would build it to tho height of mid tide, or perhaps higher. In conclusion, the board thinks it im portant to state that in an undertaking of this character, where tho exposure is so great, as largo a portion os possible of thowholo estimate should bo availabio before tho beginning of actual construc tion, and the work, when commenced, should bo carried forward as rapidly as practical, with n view of attaining, at the earliest day, the desired object, viz.. a deep channel to the sea to accommo date the great and growing commerce of which tho Columbia river must Jjo the avenue, and to tho growth of which the present condition of the bar is a very formidable obstacle. When operations have once begun, there should be no sus pension of them, as in such a oase, bo sides tho loss of time, injuries to the un finished work and unfavorable changes in shoals and channels may be expected to such an extent as very greatly to in crease the cost.

A story is told of a calker who was so absent-minded that once whon at work on a ship he drove a plug of tobacco into the vessel's bottom end bit off the head of an iron spiko himself, never realizing his mistake until the vessel spit in his face. This may be regarded as an ex treme caso, but there are many people in the city who are worthy to rank with the gentleman mentioned above, and their curious performances are seen upon the street every day. A gentleman afflicted in this way was walking down Chenamus street yesterday, reading a paper. Num berless people bumped liim and anaiho matized.him afterwards, but he heeded it very little, though the expression of his face showed that he was troubled. Finally he ran with a bump into the bill board with Cole's Circus show-paper on it, opposite Bergman and Berry's.

Tito More Suicides. Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, Mr. McKeau. a carpenter, left word of the ooroner's office thnt tho body of a man was lying in a gnlch about 3 miles from town, near the Summit road. Mr. Cooke, on receiving the information, re paired at once to the Bcene and brought the corpse to his place. The deceased is evidently about 55 or CO years of age, sandy hair and complexion, smooth face with" the exception of short sandv chin whisker. He wps dressed in a brown suit, blue flannel overshirt, heavy boots, and from all appearances was a laboring man. On oramining the clothing noth ing was found except an old pnrse con taining 75 cants, and a bottle partly filled with sulphate of morphia, tins last tell ing tho story, that of suicide by poison ing. The remains have not yet been identified, and tho inquest will be held at ten o'elock to-day. The coroner had barely got rested from his trip to the Summit, when n uiessonger arrived from Sellwood with tho intelligence that a man named Ingraham had suicided in the woods back of town by shooting him self through tho head. Mr. Cooke im mediately started for Sellwood for the purpose of holding nn inquest, but ut last nccounts had not returned, so the particulars could not bo ascertained. In graham is said to havo been n saloon keeper, and at one time resided in this city. Standard, lfiui. johso.vs xkw L'.iri:iisLncLOPEDn. Mr.C. H.
