Yesterday The Astokiax presented
tho report of the chief of the TJ. S.

war, regarding the progress of the
jetty at the mouth of the Columbia
river.
To-day is given an excerpt from the
report of Major Thos. H. Handbury

of the work during the past season. previous ones, iney are very satia-

During tho season from November .a boat suited to tho purpose, to be

the jetty tramway because of rough
seas and stormy weather. Some mat
...... - - i J
tress work was done during occasional
fair weather, and tho rock was dumped
upon the line of tho jetty at all times
when barges could lie at the wharf.
Between June 30, 1SS3 and January
31, 18S9, 18,463 tons of rock were re
ceived, being the last under an ar
rangement in force for the purchase
of 30,000 tons in open market.
After due advertisement for propos
als, a formal contract was entered
into with Perry Uiukle, under dale of
.Jauury 8, lSbO. to furnish 150,00.) tons
of rock, delivered on board barges at
his quarry landing, winch is about l
2 j
miles
above Vancouver on the L
luiubia river. For this the govern
ment is to pay 64 cents per ton of
2.OU0 pound, with the option of in
creasing the amount to 300,000 tons if
desirable. The first rock under this
contract va received at Fort Stevens
February 32, and up to the end of the
fiscal year there has been received
45,005 tons. The rock is a good, strong
basaltic lava that will f-taiul the
action of the sea without disintegra
tion, and is satisfactory in every re
spect It is being delivered in pieces
varying form 50 pounds to 7 tons, and
in proportions as required. The total
quantity used during the year is 03,
468 tons. Three thousand tons of this
was dumped near the root or the jetty
and along the spur in front of the
shore-trestle, to prevent erosion in
that locality. The remainder was
placed along the line of the jetty
proper.
There has been purchased during
the j ear 80,500 lineal feet of piling, at
a cost of 8 cents per foot, delivered.
They vary in length from 55 to 70 feet
They have been used in the extension
of the jetty tramway, in extension and J
enlargement of wharf, shore-trestle.
gridirons for storage or supplies, and
various other purposes connected with
the work.
The lumber used during the year
for the same purposes and for addi
tional shops and sheds amounted to
SSOOOfeet. Tho most of thiswhich
was rough lntnber, cost $10.75 per
thousand feet, delivered tit Fort Stev
ens. On the 9th of March contract was
entered into with Charles P. Church
for furnishing 0,000 cords of fascines
at $2.74 per cord 128 feet, and 10,000
poles at 24 cents each, delivered at
Fort Stevens. At the end of the year
2,189 cords of fascines and 3,062 poles
had been received under this contract
cords of fascines and 8,662 poles have
been used.
Threo hundred and ono tons, 2,210
pounds each, of steel 30-ponnd rails,
have been purchased; ono lot of 91
tons at $53 per ton, a second lot of
210 tons at $15 per ton, both delivered
at Astoria
For several years past the shore on
which tho wharf at Fort Stovensis
built has been encroaching upon the
channel, and from time to time it has
been neces ary to extend tho wharf
to correspond with this encroach
ment Point Adams on this side, as like
wise on the side next to the ocean, has
been increased to the extent of sev
eral acres, Early last fall it became
evident that the wharf would have to
be extended again, and also enlarged,
to accommodate the large amount of
material that would be used in the con
struction of the jetty during the com
ing season. The proper authority
having been obtained, a new wharf
head, 240 feet long and 48 feet wide,
was built, 130 feet in advance of the
old, and connected with it This
wharf was intended for the accom
modation of two stone barges on its
head at the same time, with space for
barges and boats containing other
material to be unloaded on its ends and
inner side. It was expected also t hat
iha ,m i,nrr rwibt cHii hoiiwi Tim
mi; mil l.fw rvmtinunii nii iio ni.i
imr? ; ,,f i;m t,n.-;. ;t ; iu.v,.r
still used for unloading light draught
boat. Three tracksare required on the
wharf for tho accommodation of tho
stone cars and for m.ikiug up the
trains. There aro on the hoad of the
wharf two largo derricks with two
double cylinder 10 by 16 inches, Mundy
hoisting engines with boilers, for
hoisting rock from tho barges into the
cars. A largo extent of platform area
and switch yid side track facilities
have been found necessary for the
proper handling of the material. For
these purposes 5.625 feet of track
were laid durinff the year. The ac
tion of tho salt water upon the mils of
the iettv tramway is causing them
hem to
corrode ranidlv." It has been found
necessary ts renew about 1,000 feet of
these rails, which had become so ranch
weakened by the corrosion as to make
it d'uigerous to transport loaded trains
hver them.
The heavy storms that occurred
during the hich tides of early spring
caused considerable erosion of the
shore on the north side near tho root
of the jetty, and at one time seriously
threatened the tramway in that locali
ty. By building back a spur and
dumping in rock liberally everything
was made secure. The shore trestle
in this vicinit' was strengthened for a
distance of about 2,000 feet
It early became evident that if the
locomotives, cars, hoisting engines,
and other parts of the plant were to be
kept in an efficient slate of repairs at
anything like a reasonable cost, a machine-shop
with a proper outfit of
tools must bo provided. A shop 100
feet long by 30 feet wide was built of
rough boards. This is divided into
three parts for machine-shop, blacksmith-shop
and car-Bhop. In these
are placed ono 8-foot by 16-inch ma
chine lathe, two drill-presses, one
bolt-cutter, one fan, threo blacksmith
fires, and other tools required by the
work. A 10 horse-power engine with
boiler, furnishes the necessary power.
The cost of these articles was in the
neighborhood of $1,500.
At the end of the last fiscal year
there were four model barges belong
ing to this -wrork built for the purpose
of transporting rock. These had a
capacity of about 2S0 tons each.
During" the months of July and Au
gust two more of about the same ca
pacity were purchased at a cost of
S5,500each. A contract was entered
into with Messrs. Paquet & Smith,
November 5, 1888, for four more
barges, to be psid for at the rate of
S5.870 each. These were all 'com
pleted early in March, 18S9. Their
general dimensions were, length 120
feet, beam 32 feet, depth 8 feet, with a
capacity of about 500 tons each. In
building these, advantage was taken
of the experience
trained with the

service about the 20th of May, and
cost, complete, $20,000. It is SO feet
6 inches in length over all and 18 feet
beam, and draught of about 7 feet
Tho engines are inverted componnd or
receiver type, with cranks at right
angles. The c linders are 12 and 22
inches diameter with 18 inches stroke.
The reversing gear is operated by
steam. The propelbr is 5 feet I)
inches diameter. The boiler is of the
Scotch type, steel, 9 feet 3 inches di
ameter by 10 feet long, contains two
furnaces each 36 inches mi-idc diame
ter and 124 3-inch return tubes. The
niachinen was built by Xeafle & lev .
Peiinlvaiii.i Works, Philadelphia;
tho hull and cabin by .John F. bleilen,
Portland, Oic. The boat throughout
is !irt cla- in every respect and her
performances thus iar are very satis
iaclory. It is able lo handle with ease
against a strong ebb tide two of the
laige slono barges loaded. This boat
has been named (Ji. 11. Jhndtll.
While it was being built the govern
ment bleamer Omciul Wright wsls
used to do the towing work about Fort
Stevens.
About the middle of February the
government steamer Cascades, having
been put in thorough repair, com
menced towing tho stone barges be
tween Astoria and the contractor's
quarry, on tlys Columbia river 108
miles above.
With this outfit of boats and the
railroad plant and appliances at the
works the rock can bo placed on the
jetty at a cost of about $1 per ton.
This of courso does not include the
cost of the plant and its maintenance
when not in use. Tho greater portion
of the plant for the whole work is now
provided. Hereafter a much larger
proportion of the amounts appropri-
ated will be expended on the jetty
For further details concerning the
progress of the work during the fiscal
year attention is invited to the report
of Assistant G. B. Hegardt, herewith
transmitted, who has "been in immedi
ate charge of the work during the
greater portion of the year. At this
point it is proper to mention the
faithful and efficient service rendered
by Mr. Hegardt in the discharge of
this duly.

"Wrecker"vVhitelaw is getting on well
with his work on tho sunken Clan
McKenzie. Tho work on the bulk
head which covers the hole made by
the Oregon has been completed, and
the big pumps on the wrecking
steamer will soon be in readiness to
pump the water from tho sunken ves
sel. One of tho pumps was tried last
Tuesday and it succeeded in throwing
out twenly-eight tons of water a min
ute, while the leakage in tho same
time is but fourteen tons. Other
pumps are to bo placed in position,
when it is expected that water will be
thrown out at the rate of fifty tons
per minute. "With the leakage little
more than one-fourth of that amount
it can be seen that when the pumps
onco get down to business it will not
bo long before the ship will be afloat.
It Might Have Betn Worse.
