On the fourth day ol July, one
hundred and fo-tv eight years
ago, the fathers of the republic
auopted the Declaration of Inde
pendence and pledged their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred
honor to maintain it.
Couched in the picturesque
and forceful language of the
greatest democrat of his time,
that declaration was the express
ion of the sentiment and purpose
of a great people; a sentiment
and . purpose Rtrong enough to
carry them through toil and
suffering, blood and fire, priva
tion and battle from the skirmish
of Lexington to the siege of
Yorktown. That sentiment found
an expression in the cold stark
forms that hallowed many a
bloody field and cheerless bivouac
far"transcending that conveyed
by the burning words of Jeffer
son.
The word of the declaration
was the flash of the spark in the
tinder, but the deed of war was
the flame of the furnace seven
times heated, in which was trans
muted the ores of Colonial Inde
pencence into the tempered steel
of a new nationality.
With a range of vision that far
exceeded the mystic insight of
prophecy, they laid broad and
deep the foundations of the state
that was to be. is yet to be and
bequeathed to us, their children's
children, a beritagnf glory, free
dom and duty. On this anniver
sary of our country's natai day
we do well to ponder the words,
and laud the deeds of the fathers.
but we cannot truly honor them
other than by the emulation of
their deeds of duty and devotion.
Thia great edifice of freedom,
cemented in the blood of heroes
andjeommitted to our keeping,
requires for its preservation and
enhancement a spirit in us like
unto that of the men of old.
Various agencies are urging
care on the part of everybody
to avoid forest fires. This is
well but let us also remember
that the carelessly thrwn match,
the heedlesly dropped cigarette,
the neglected rubbish pile or
grass patch are a constant men
ace to life and property in town
and field as well as forest.
BE CAREFUL.

Patriotism and Forest Fires
With a three day holiday in
sight for most, of our citizens,
many will be planning to cele
brate the Fourth of July bv
camping or fishing trips into the
forested regions which are so
inviting at this time of year.
In addition to seeking pleasure
and recreation, it is well to re-
memberjthat this is a day for
patriotic thought, and for a con
sideration of our national great
ness, past, present and future.
Forest economists have im
pressed upon us the fact that
our abundant forests and forest
industries are one of the founda
tion stones of our national great
ness; that reforestation is
necessary if we are to continue
this national greatness; and that
forest fires are the greatest
enemy, both of the forest resource
and of reforestation. Statistics
show that from 70 to 90 percent
of our forest fires Bre man caus-ed.-unnecessary.
Foresters tell
us that the woods aro abnormally
dry and the fire hazard great this
year.
Every visitor to the forrested
regions can make his patriotism
practical this fourth of July by

Port of Portland
Survey Complete
Portland, Oregon, July 1. The
records furnished the Traffic De
partment of the Port of Portland
by the U. S. Army Engineers of
the survey of the mouth of the
Columbia River show the effect
of the dykes on the depth of the
entrance channel.
Soundings were taken at mean
lower low water which is the
lowest tide each day and the av
erage of these tides taken showed
that the water was 45 feet deep
for a width of 1200 feet.
This is an increase of a foot or
more over the survey taken last
year. These surveys are taken
each year so that the sounding
records con be kept up to date.
Over a width of 4,0X) feet the
depth is 44 feet, for 5.000 feet is
42 feet and for 7.200 feet the
ilepth is 40 feet.
With a depth of 40 feet for a
width of, 7.200 feet the entrance
channel of the Calumbia River 's
one of the very best in the United
States. Not only is there suffic
ient depth of water; but the fog
hour9 are less than at any other
Pacific CoastVntranc.
This is a big item in the wing
of time as it is seldom nec xsarv
for the vessels to wait or to run
the risk necessary of entering
during a fog.
The!,depth of the river from
the mouth to Portland is ulsr
being improved and the dykee
that have been built are doing
away with the necessity of dredg
ing after the spring freshet.
Vessels such as the "Manulani"
with her cargo of 440.000 bushels
of wheat, or 13,200 tons, drawing
31.8 feet can go down the river
without any cause for worry con
cerning the depth of the river.
The U. S. Cruiser Omaha
came up the river in September
without a pilot.
Large cargoes are being carried
by vessels leaving Portland and
the record for the first six months
of 1924 show an increase of 100
per cent in tonnage and 75 per
cent in value over the same per
iod in 1923. -Traffic Department.
