Seaports of the Northwest (Continued from Yesterday.) APPENDIX. Reference has already been made to the feuturts of cost and general undeslr ability of the proposed ship channel to Portland. The residents of the Colum bin basin are vitally Interested In this project, and some details are worthy of intention. Tho disagreement between Major Handbury and Col. Mendell, and between Major Handbury and the board of engineers, on the Items of durable style of construction and of larger width of channel, have been specified In general way. Major Handbury calls for ili-edg-lm? a channel only 150 feet wide. In such dredging, the cuts at the two nldes of the channel are made with ver tical sides, with the expectation of In flow and some consequent lessening of depth and width. This action continues until the slope conforms to the natural Blope of the river bed, always a very long slope. In soft material. Col. Craig- bill speaks of the necessary yearly ex pense at Baltimore as follows: "In excavation no effort has been mode to give with the dredge any spe olfied slopes to the sides of the dredged channel. To require anything of that kind would causa contractors to raise their prices, even If the whole work were contracted for at once. In this case, the way has been to make the rides of the excavation practical !y ver tical. As tho side slopes slip In, the dredge keeps the bottom clear until the natural slope In the water Is gradually taken." Such Inflow will make a ser ious Inroad In a channel of only ISO foet original width, and will Increase the difficulties of navigation. To have rec ommenuea sucn a narrow width, par ticularly In the great Cathlamet bay where Major Handbury himself says "sands are continually drifted about by the waves," Is the strongest evidence of a desire on Major Handbury'g part to commit the government. to his pro ject by asking at first only for what Is merely an initial amount, the thinnest pcrslble edge of appropriation hat could be devised for a very broad ulti mate wedge of lnrge expenditure. In the great mass of river and harbor ap propriations It Is utterly Impossible for the board of engineers to know of thel own knowledge and from their own ex amination, whnt Is desirable In each ense, especially for remote Oregon. The government is nlways at the mercy of llio local engineer, whose social and friendly relations with the prominent men of the largest city of hiB district will almost Invariably, perhaps uncon sciously, and always without any dis- noncsi purpose, lenn towards his co inciding with their views. But In this case, and working only on common sense principles, without close knowl edge of the proposed work, the board has seen and negatived many evidently undesirable recommendations of Major Handbury. The Willamette river portion of the proposed Improvement Is stated by Col. TWendell, with good reason, to be the ''most difficult part of the whole prob lem." Of the total distance to be deepened, namely ten miles, "four miles nre In the Willamette river." It Is a well known fact that the erosive power of rivers on the bottom of channels Is exerted at low water stages. High water erosions take place laterally along the banks and at obstructions, and not In the bottom, and the suspended ma terial so obtained la deposited In the channels during floods. Iajor Hand bury refers to this action In the Wil lamette. "The high water velocities carry large quantities of heavy mater ial." A point of land 12 to 15 feet above water and 200 feet wide and which rsoemed to be solid, "during one night" "had sunk out of sight" when the river -was four feet above low water mark. The only erosive power available for the Willamette Is Its' very small vol ume at low water stage. This has al lead'y so nearly reached the'llmlt of its effectiveness of erosion for the channel wldth requisite, that with only 100 feet width and only 19 feet depth, a loss of a small part of the volume in the pist has neutralized its scouring power. An Indication of this is found In Major Handbtiry's report. He says of the .at tempted dams across Martin's and Tiurfce's slough: "It was estimated that about one Unth (enly) of the low water dtschargi at the river passed through those ploughs, which fact was largely Instru mental in the formation of Martin's Is land bar." In urging the closing of the channel south of Swan Island, he says: "What Is spoken of as a channel. Is In reality a high water chute. At a low stage of the Willamette, there Is not more than one foot of water through a narrow, tortuous channel." Yet this slight amount of water is so much need ed 'for scouring the other channels that he goes on to say: "The main ship channel Is on the north side of Swan Island The flow of, water through this is barely sufficient tn mfllntnin In If A.

There is a bar through which it is necessary (even with the present 20 foot -channel) to dredge a cut each year after Weh water in the Willamette in order, 1o maintain a channel of 20 feet depth, tor of the wtate of R.

Mendell says, "take some years to accomplish tho re suit by the unaided erosive powers of the water." It is almost certain that expensive dredging alone will secure deepening below 20 feet. Of dredging, the engineer speaks as follows: Willamette river. "A channel 18 to 19 feet depth has bin repeatedly dredged at tho head of Swan Inland, only to be filled again at the next succeeding hlsh water of the Willamette." Major Hand bury's report, 1891. "The use of the dredge to remove the worst part of shoals gives quick re sults, but it is an expensive mode of procedure, as a fresheti of a few days' length has often obliterated the work of montha of one or more dredges." Col. Cralghill. "When quick results are demanded, the engineer is forced to use the dredgf, although he may be eure that the work in whole or In part must soon be done ocr again." Col. Cralghill. "While somo have often, favored dredging, Mr. Eads strongly opposed it." Report on Mississippi Jetties. Pensacola. A channel dredged In 18S8 to 24 feet, had shoaled to 19 feet in IS90.

He is the one that always doubts the prosperous trade reports he hears of his competitor, who does advertise. He sits in the back of his store, smokes his pipe) and wonders why he isn't making any money. He has the blues when he should have trade. He not only lets his neighbor get thnt neighbor's share of the business, but a good part of his also. He sees people whom he thought old friends of his go into his competitor's store and come out with bundles of goods, when he lias the same articles on his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices than tliey paid his competitor for them, Why is this so? It is because his com petitor lets the public know in an in telligent way through the local papers what he has to se.1! and when he has it. Tha successful advertiser looks after his advertising space as he does his clerks. He changes his ads. in sucui a way the people are attracted by them". He feels that to make money he must be willing to spend some; that there is strong competitUon in all lines pf busi ness, and to get his Bhare of the trade he must advertise, and to do it In the most skillful and Intelligent way. If he oannot write advertising matter himself, he seeks the aid of some one who has. made the wrlUng of advertisements a study somo specialist, who will see that it is properly written In a catbhy and displayed way some one whose duty it is to take oft the shoulders of a busy man all the worry of making up an ad. No. business man attempts to cure his own sickness, pull his own teeth, make his own clothes or attend to his own law case3. He employs specialists for each of these various services, and saves money by doing It.- It is through its language and arrangement that an advertisement gets its business-bringing qualities. There must be something to attract public attention' and hold It; something of interest, something out of the ordinary, something that is different from others of the name line of busi ness. To give it these peculiar features requires experience, and the owner of The Astorian has engaged the services of such a specialist for the benefit of its advertising customers who may wish to take advantage of his services. . The Evening Star, of Washington, D. C, has an adertUement writer con nected with its business department, and its terms to advertisers are, "So much blank space, so much money. The- same amount of space, with the assist' ance of the advertisement writer in get' ting up ad. attractively, so much addi tional." The Astorian charges nothing extra, the services of the expert being thrown, In. . . : A irfilDAV MOnNlNb. lULV Food - - -Digestion- Complexion zr3 are tllintimstelyeonnected Sf practically inseparable.! 2Z-2 Though the fact is often 3 icnored. it is nevertheless - true that a good complex- p.J " IUU , ...
