The unusual sight of a waterspout was

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.

An Absent-Xinded JUu.
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.
Looking up in a dazed, bewildered sort
of way, the gentleman profusely apolo-
Kucui auuL nwt noj niiuuiit me Ellgnv-

Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock,
Mr. McKeau. a carpenter, left word of

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

taining 75 cants, and a bottle partly filled
with sulphate of morphia, tins last tell

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
