HARBOR IMPROVEMENT.
The Plans Submitted by U. S. Engineer
T. w. Symons.


The report OF Captain Thomas w. Sv-
mons, government engineer in charge uf
the surveys of Grays harbor and Chel a.
lis river, has just been issued by the war
department as Appendix w. w. to the
annual report upon the improvement of
the rivers and harbors of Washington
for 1891. The report is accompanied by
several charts showing the depths of
water and Improvements recommended.
Captain Symons says in part: The
survey OF the bar for the purposes OF inn
provement was not recommended bnt
as there was a conflict between certain
maps as to the depth Of water, re, ON
mended that a survey of the bar be made
to determine its present position and
| depth and to obtain data for comparison
with former surveys, and for future con-
siderstion when the improvement of The
bar may be demanded, which does not
seem to be the case at present.
Assistant Engineer A. j. Mcmillan was
employed to make the survey. There is
also Il tracing showing the Harbor and
Chehais river, tracing of the ~ per
part OF the Harbor showing the shoals
and proposed works for improvement,
and tracngs showing the shoals in the
Chehalis river and the location of the
proposed dredged channel.
Mr.. McMillan's report gives general
description OF the Harbor and the diff
entities met with in its navigation. The
distractions to navigation consist Of two
shoals, one just below Hoquiam and one
between Hoquiam and Aberdeen, which
latter tom is situated practically at the
head of the bay.
| These shoals are undoubtedly due to
causing eddies and slack water, and a
consequent deposition OF sediment. To
remedy the evil it is proposed to put in
works VI i:h wi eau re stronger flow in
the principal or north channel, and to de-
pend upon this stronger flow to scour out
the shoals to the depth obtained in other
portions of the channel The DETECTING
works proposed are bikes Of piles, brush
and stone.
To remove the lower shoal it is pro-
posed to build dikes, partially closing up
the middle cross channel just below Ho-
quiam, and thus throw, both during the
ebb and flood, more water into the main
channel 1t is believed that the upper
shoal can, in connection with the works
for the removal of the lower shoal, be re-
moved by dixie built out from the south
shore. The aggregate length Of dixie pro-
posed is 1000 feet, of which 5000 feet is at
the upper shoal, 2500 feet at the lower
shoal above the middle channel, and 1850
feet below the middle channel.
| 1t will be necessary to give the dikes a
wide base of brush mattress and stone,
and to have the piles strong and well
braced, to withstand the heavy freshets
and tides and the large quantity OF drift

LUMBER NOTES.

The Tacoma Mill company received an
order recently for 80 pieces Of 1'x18,
SO feet long and upwards, to contain no
heart pieces. Think of the nerve Of a
man who would send in an order like
that and the CONSERVATION il would
strike the heart of a Mississippi valley
mill man.-Mississip Valley Lumber
man.
The recent shipment OF long timbers
for ship building purposes made by the
Tacoma Mill company, has reached its
destination. At Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Chicago the cars were detained by
the railway company for two or three
days for the purpose of exhibiting this
product OF the Evergreen state. and a
great deal OF interest was manifested in
it. The time is coming when this timber
will be recognized, the world over, as
one OF the best that can be obtained for
ship building purposes, and excellent
for bridge building as we'll. Every ship
ment helps to advertise it by calling at
tention to it's superior merits.--Timber-
man.
The fields for the better grades Of the
Pni ic cedar shingles is widening. They
are sold today in this city at but five
cents more per thousand than the white
pine, while throughout the country tribu-
tary to this market it is steadily supplant-
ing the clear white pine shingles. Where
it has made reputation for itself it is
seeming to support its claim to being a
! 50-year old single. Not much can yet
be done wi h the cheaper grades OF cedar
shingles here. while the fifty-fve cent
freight rates hold between the coast and
this point. There always will be short
age here in clear white pine shingles.
For this reason mill zen do not look
with any alarm on the ivent of the cedar
shingle.-- Mississippi Valley Lumberman.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 22.-The Fire De-
partment was summoned at 1920 for a
fire in the three-story brick building of
Main d Winchester, harnessmakers, on
Battery and Richmond, between Califor-
mia and Sacramento streets.
When the firemen arrived volumes of
black smoke were seen to.be coming from
the top story of the building, where the
workshop is located, and almost instantly
a big blaze broke out in the front and on
the sides, and the top story was soon a
blazing furnace.
The tiremen had considerable difficulty
in erecting ladders, owing to the fact that
live electric wires made their ascent
very dangerous. Chief Scannell realized
in moment that he had dangerous fire
to cope with, and ordered four streams TO
be played upon the blaze, but the water
did not seem to have much effect, and the
flames kept spreading with alarming
rapidity.
| In the collar-room of the workshop a
small stove is located, which is used onIy
! in winter for heating purposes, and il is
| thought the stove became overheated dur
ing the lunch hour when all of the en-
| ployes were out.
When the work men left everything ap-
peared apparently all right, but they had
not been out more than twenty minutes
when the cry of fire was heard, and soon
the whole street was lined with pedes-
trians.
All the doors and windows were locked,
and in consequence the whole top story
was filled flll Of smoke.
The material in the workshop was of a
highly inhammable nature and burned
very quickly.
The entire building was completely
! flooded with water and will cause a large
amount of damage to goods.
The fire patrol did good work by quick
response and spreading their tarpaulins
over the stock in the lower story of the
establishment.
It was necessary to break every win
dow in the front and on the sides before
the tiremen were certain that they had
the big blaze under full control.
After laboring arduously for over
three-quarters of an hour the blaze was
subdued.
The stock carried is valued at from
SO 900 ia $1,000 The loss by water will
be much greater than by fire.
The insurance on the building and
stock amounts to SII0,00O, and the dam
age is approximated at about $50, 900. di-
vided into So, 600 on the building and tools
and So, 600 on stock damaged solely by

MOUNT CARMEL (Pa.). Dec. pa des-
perate battle took place here last night
which may result in the death of several
of the participants. The combat was
caused by a Tilted lover, who followed
the woman from the old country, met his
rival and fought. Until six months ago
John Rotoski, Michael Lincevitch and
Mary Densky lived in small town in
Hungary. Both men were desperately
in love with Mary, who finally agreed to
fly to America with John. Upon their
arrival in New York they were married,
and have lived in peace until a week ago,
when Lincevitch appeared, having fol-
lowed them to this country to obtain re-
venge. A pugilistic encounter was
finally agreed on as means of deciding
the justice of their claims. 1t came off
last night, about fifty workmen being
witnesses. Mary, it is said, agreed to
take the victor for her husband. The
light lasted forty minutes. and was a
most desperate encounter, both men be-
ing terribly punished. At the end of
that time Lincevitch was unable to stand
up any longer. A foul was claimed for
him on account of Rotoski having chewed
his ear at one stage Of the fight. Mary,
who was acting as referee, decided i'll
favor of her husband. and riot ensued.
She was knocked senseless, and ten or
twelve others were badly injured with
knives and bullets. Nearly everyone in
the audience was more or less badly bat
tered, and it is feared that six of the in
jured will die. Mary and John left for

MEDICAL PROFESSION STIRRED.
Remarkable Surgical Operation Per-
formed on a Boy,

Remarkable surgical Operation Per-
formed on Boy,
NEW York, Dec. 22.-The medical pro-
fession is much stirred, 50 far as it is yet
familiar with the details of the case, by
the story Of remarkable surgical opera
ton performed few days ago by DR.. AL
bert Skunk of this city. James McCau-
ghey, aged j years, was suffering from
appendicitis, trouble caused by some
foreign substance entering the vermiform
appendix. The doctor was called. found
the patient III a bad way, and recon-
mended an operation, the diagnosis show
ing an abscess forming around the vermi-
form appendix. The parents delayed the
operation until the arrival Of relatives
who had been summoned. When finally
ready for the operation the doctor dis
covered that the abscess had Just broken,
and the pus was flooding into the abdomi-
nal cavity.
In this crisis it seemed clear that the
boy was dying. The doctor told the rela-
tives that it was barely possible an opera
ton might save him, but the chances
were many times against it. They in
sisted on his proceeding. The patient
was anesthetized, and as soon as an open-
ing was D4ade in the abdomen there was
plenteous flow of pus. AT almost the
same moment the pulse ceased to beat,
the heart stopped, and every evidence OF
a most complete collapse betokened the
presence OF death. The doctor instantly
enlarged the incision and, holding it open
with one hand, poured with the other the
contents OF pitcher of hot water into the
abdominal cavity. In a few minutes
there was a renewal Of the hearts action
and aided by hYpodermic injections, the
boy slowly returned to life. The foreign
substance was quickly located and re-
moved, the operation completed, and the
boy is now on The road to recovery.
