The following is tho report otthe chief of engineer. TJ. S. A., to tho sec retary of war regarding tho work now in progress at the mouth of the river: Mouth of. the Columbia River, Oregon and Washingten: Tho project under which the work is being carried on was adopted 1884. It contemplates providing a channel across tho Columbia river bar, having a depth of thirty feet at mean low tide. This is to bo effected by con centrating the water flowing over the bar and increasing the resultant car rents to such a degree as to procure the desired depth. Any work for ac complishing this end must bo moro or less tentative in its character. The work which is now in progress is the , building of a low tide jetty, starting Foum cape, Hancock (Disappointment). This jetty is constructed of stone resting up on a mattress foundation about 10 feet wide and from 2 to 5 feet thick. The slono extends to the level of the mean lower low water. The materials 3 foot gauge railroad, the tracks being 1Q r i,n.,,. nnntn- Th,n .oa r3 aQ ljllded al Uj0 wbarr ;md lrans. ,v .,,... --nvt!,.f.i. ,-.,. - , ... - ,,. n, , Even.nfUvr connected vith the wnpt - - in ncti- onfirn01, nmi .,, ,, :a ,:. nnci,P ;i' rltn he most this basis be sub- actual 1st of lo called the end of tho working season. It is that by that time iliould bo made on Hie work. Tho plant now provided is exteusive and in thorough working order. It would bo in the interests of economy to keep this continually employed to its full capacity until the pro ject is completed. As the work progresses tho jetty tramway be. comes more greatly exposed to the action of tho sea, and is moro liable to 1)0 destroyed or damaged during vio lent storms. To replace this when the jetty i3 partially built woidd be diffi cult and expensive. It is advisable on this account also to push tho work forward as rapidly as possible. Of l.tte years tho main bar chaunel has varied in depth from 19 to 21 feet at low water; 2C feet are required in a wide, direct and stable channel, and SO feet are desirable for tho deep ves sels needed by tho Columbia river trade. Tho jetty proper is now under con- 'slniction for a little more than IK miles. Rock has been dumped to the height of mean low water, over an average of about 1 milo of this dis tance. It is expected that by'the end of the present working season which will be about tho 1st of December, the jetty tramway will bo advanced about ono-half milo further. v Within tho last year a marked change has taken place on Clatsop Spit and in the channel over tho Co lumbia river bar. Tho Spit shows de cidedly more bare surface, at low water than formerly, and the chan nel of tho river has a decided tendency towards a straight course out to sea. Tillamook Chute, whero there were indications that a new channel was being cut southward across Clatsop Spit when the work was commenced, is now being closed, although the jetty-work is not jet within one-half mile of it. It is observed that as tho matlrcss-work is carried out lho Fand-spit builds up on tho south tide abreast of and sometimes ahead of it At extreme low water ono can walk on the snnd out as far as the mattress work extends. Tho indi cations now are that the work has progressed to such a point that it is having a manifest influenco upon tho natural forces at work in tho vicinity, land that these forces aro bringing nlimit lho rp?iilf rlpsirnn. Tbo appropriated for this work is S78,500. Tho amount ex pended to the end of tho present fiscal vear is $614,252.92, leaving a balance of S173,2 17.08 yot applicable to tho further prosecution of tho work.

Most peoplo when they hear of "corn fed ousters," laugh at what they lake to be a little extravagance in tended to convey the idea of fatness, the association of ideas with extreme fatness and corn fed hogs being nat nral. But corn fed oysters are as much a fact as com fed hogs. 0ster cultivation in tho bays and sounds of the east is conducted with as much science, as the cultivation of agricul tural products, and on many places on the Chesapeake bay the oyster farmer every morning strews with a liberal hand, upon tho surface of tho water covering his bed or tho bivalves, quan tities of finely ground com meal, which ramdly sinks to the bottom and is de voured or absorbed by the gaping shell fish, the result being an especially fat and luscious ojster.
