Mitchell was directed to tho increasing number of fish traps in the river, and, incidentally, tho large number of traps in Baker's Bay. Upon receipt of sundry letters, Senator Mitchell, who was in Washington, D. C, promptly brought the matter to the at tention of the War Department, and Major W. A. Jones, corps of U. S. en gineers, was instructed to make personal inquiry and examination and submit re- ! port. This he did. Upon the eve of Senator Mitchell's de parture from Portland for here last Thurs da.v night, he received the following, which is self-explanator3 feom the acting sec'l" of wae. Wab Depabtmekt, i Washington City, August 23rd, 1889. ) Sir: Referring to your letters of May 7th and June 21st last, inclosing com munications from Alex. Sutton, secretary Columbia River Fishermen's Protective Union, and J. II. D. Gray, both of Asto ria, Oregon, regarding the obstructions in Columbia river and Baker's bay by the promiscuous placing of fishtraps or pound net3, 1 have the honor to state that the matter was referred to Major W. A. Jones, corps of engineers, the officer in charge of the improvement of the lower Columbia river, and to enclose a copy of his report on he subject for your infor mation. Very respectfully, R. Macfeelv, Acting Secretary of War. Hon. John H. Mitchell, United States Senator, Portland, Oregon. The enclosure referred to, embodies the report of Major W. A. Jones. That gentleman, it will bo remembered, was here this summer and made a careful and exhaustive study of the entire sub ject. In a previous report based upon a pre vious visit he had expressed an opinion relative to the traps in Baker's bay, and to which he refers in the report published below. Through the courtesy of Senator Mitchell The Astobian is enabled to publish Major Jones' report on this mat ter. It was enclosed to that gentleman in tho letter published above, received by him last Thursday, and is as follews: MAJPB JONES' BEPOBT. U. S. Engineeb Office. ? Portland, Oregon, August 10, 1889. $ Respectfully returned to the chief of engineers: 1 have already reported on this matter (See report dated December 21, 1837.) In again presenting it reference is mado to this report and also to the U. S. C. and G. S. map herewith, which shows the entranco to the Columbia river, Bak er's bay, and tho ostuary of the river, which is the principal field of the fish ing operations referred to within. Since this report was made many more traps have been placed, notably those whose location is shown on this chart. They are so placed ns to rest on the shal low water on the face of tho shore or shoal and extend out substantially at right angles into depths varying from 12 to 18 feet at low tide. Tho rise and fall of the tide is fully shown on the chart. These trap3 act as permeable dikes, and cause considerable deposition in their vicinity. They thus tend to cause increased scour in the channel in front of them. In Baker's bay, however, they have been so promiscuously placed as to prevent the formation of a definite chan nel and hence there has been extensive shoaling over the whole area of the bay. t urtner more, as a direct consequence of tho reduction in the volume of water passing through this bay. Sand Island has been extensively built up on the north ward and its limits in this direction ate now substantially as indicated in red on the chart. Another effect that may result from building up the face of shores and shoals, and the consequent restriction of the adjacent channels is the diversion of said channels to other localities. I consider tho channel which passes in front of Astoria, and forms the har bor of that city to be in considerable danger from this cause. The water now flows past Astoria in three main chan nels, tho north, tho middle and the south. The latter being tho Astoria channel. Thero is a possibility that if this should become restricted, one or both of tho others would become enlarged from addi tional scour, a condition that might re sult in a considerablo reduction in the depth of the Astoria channel at its pres ent shoalest portion, opposite upper As toria. I have 'formerly expressed the opinion that tho shoaling of Baker's bay will have a beneficial effect upon the ship channel across the bar at the mouth of tho river, now undergoing improve ment, ironi tho foregoing 1 reach tho conclusion that no traps should be al lowed upon the shoals or islands outside of Baker's bay. That all such be de clared obstructions to navigation, and that the proper legal steps be taken to protect the navigation interests of the United States In the matter. Acknowledgement is here made of the reference to me of a letter of June 21st, 1889, from Senator J. H. Mitchell, with inclosed letters from state senator, d. a. D. Gray, upon this same subjeot. These letters are herewith as an mclosure. I should have stated before that the trap on the south face of Sand Island, re ferred to in Mr. Sutton's letter, is not there now. W. A. Jones, Major of Engineers. In a conversation with the editor of this paper yesterday afternoon, Senator Mitchell expressed 'his realization of tho importance of this question to Astoria.

Mitchell, Oregon's trusty representative, arrived from Port land yesterday morning, and was met and warmly greeted. There is probably no section of the state where Senator Mitchell would find more firm friends and adherents, than Astoria. Like all of our visitors he wanted to go down to the jetty, and see what progress was being made in the great work at tho mouth of the river. To him the visit was not one of curiosity but of the great est interest. He and his colleague Hon. J. N. Dolph have worked hard in the senate as has representative Her mann in the house to secure adequate appropriation for this great work, so im portant to the people of Oregon and Washington, and whenever they come here they want to see how the money is being expended and what progress is being made, that they may make faith ful personal report to their brother con gressmen at the national capital. It was the orginal intention to have the senator take the government steamer Geo. H. Mendell, which had previously been placed at his disposal by Major Thos. Handbury, but an accident to the Cascades requiring that the Mendell should take the former's place some what disarranged the programme. However the difficulty was quickly overcome by the oourtesy of M. P. Cal lender, who promptly placed his pretty little steamer, the IFeiioHa, at the dis posal of senator Mitchell and party, numbering about a dozen gentlemen who left the city at 830. The mists were trailing their gray gar ments through the woods-and over the waters and the smooth surface of our mighty river reflected the varied shadows of the fleeting clouds as the boat steamed down to Ft, Stevens wharf, "What are these numorous poles stick ing up here and there?" asked Senator Mitchell of an Astobian representative. "Fish traps," was tho answer. "And that row over there?" "Fish traps." "And that other cluster here, this way?" "FiBh trap3." "Is it possible? said tho senator. Arriving at the wharf a busy scene pre sented itself. Engines snorting, trains rumbling, dorrioks- creaking, and huge stones swinging from the barges to the track, Supt. Hegardt, and his able assistant J. W. Stoneman, soon had the party hoisted on terra planka, and from there to the train, and then came the unique experience of a ride out over the foam ing billows, over the great gray heaving sea, the roar of the train, tho click of tho rails and the rattle of the wheels, being drowned in tho great symphony of old ocean, the trampHng of the surf, and the thunder of the tumultuous waves. Here and there a halt was mado to enable Senator Mitchell to note the modus operandi; the laying of tho mat tresses, tho dumping of the rock, the structure of the fascines; then on to the front, where a brawny party were having a pic nic with the ocean waves and send ing down into tho sand beneath the rushing water, great masts bj' means of the hydraulic driver. Then back, en board the Wenona, across the bay and up to the Occident, where the senator and a party of six in vited guests sat down to an elaborate dinner. "I am perfectly satisfied with the pro gress of the work," said Senator Mitch ell: "the last time I was here it wasn't very enlivening, but now, everything is going on so well, and there is such man ifest progress that one feels encouraged in making a renewed effort for further appropriations. I am glad that senators Allison, Pugh, and Hoar were here and visited that great work and that mem bers of the lower house have also seen it. It is so much easier to explain a thing to a man if he has once seen it. Demands are so vast and so multiplying: there is so mach to do and so little time to do it in: tho business at Washington is so enormous and diversified, that it is hard to do justice to all the questions and matters that come up for recognition." "With this matter of rivor pnd harbor improvements, so much indifference exists caused by ignorance of the neces sity of the work and the magnitude of the interests involved, that I am doubly glad that some of my eastern and south ern colleagues have been here. They can speak of what they know, and testify to that which they have seen." "I would bo pleased to have the river and harbor bill reported on by the com mittees, discussed by both houses and settled earlier in the session, and hope that there may be an improvement in this regard next year, but the volume of public business is yearly so great that it seems impossible." After dinner the senator was driven around Smith's Point and shown tho site for the railroad bridge across Young's bay. He was very much interested in Astoria's railroad, and her flattering future, and when told that at no distant day ho could get his ticket at Washing ton D. C, clear through to Astoria, he fervently hoped that such might be an accomplished fact. He was driven back to the city at 550, and till tho Telephone left at 8 o'clook, was busy shaking hands with hundreds who called to pay their respects to a man who has nlways worked hard in his high place in the United States fifinntn. for tho best interests of the intelligent constit uency he so faithfully represents. He loft up river at 8 o'clock, and goes to the Sound to visit a married daughter who resides at Tacoma, and thence to Seattle where his son is a rising young lawyer: from thence he goes to Canton, Ohio, where another married daughter, Mrs. Judge Foster, resides. From there Senator Mitchell goes to the old home stead in Pennsylvania to visit his aged mother and thence to Washington, to be in his seat in tho senate of the United States, when it meets in special session, which he thinks will be about the first week in November.

For some time there has been a rumor afloat that an artistically illustrated weekly journal is to be published on tho Paciffio coast, and now, to our great sur prise, it takes definite form in an an nouncement by the publisher of the West Shore that he will issue the first number of such a journal on the 14th of Septem ber. Fifteen years ago Mr. Samuel be gan the publication in Portland of a feeble monthly paper which has steadily grown until it has reached the propor tions of the handsome West Shore Maga zine as we know it to-day, and now he takes a bold step forward and establishes a weekly journal which will be maintained at the highest standard of illustrated weeklies in the country. It will require the expenditure of much money and la bor to render the venture successful, but the West Shore, with its splendid equip ment, long experience and established po sition, will be able to succeed where most others would fail. Special attention will be given to graphic illustrations of events happening on the Pacffiic coast, and the topics if special interest to our people. Its numerous and excellent illustrations will be tho chief feature, and these will increase in number as the journal bo comes settled in its groove. Such an un dertaking certainly recommends itself very highly to every citizen, and its sqo cess will be a direct benefit to every sec tion of tho west. The price will be 10 cent3 a copy, or 4.00 a year. Look Ont For The Scoundrel. Last Thnrsdav nffprnnnn n vnnnli looking man about six feet tall rang tho uuur uuu m me uoaruing nouse or Mrs. S.
