A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.
The Ground Dar in Newport HarbOr
Impcdes Navigation.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Nov. 10.-Om-
cial information has been received here to
the effect that the War Departments esti-
mate of S40O COO for the James River i'm
provement does not include the cost Of
dredging Newport's middle ground bar,
which is the approach to the deep water
harbor at this port. Acting on instruc-
tlons from the last Congress, Major Casey,
of the United States Engineers made over
geo soundings and decided that 500, 000
cubic yards of mud would have to be re-
moved 10 make the depth on the bar thirty
feet at mean low water. II would cost
10 cents a cubic yard to DO this He made
a favorable report recommending that the
work be done, and citing many instances
where vessels have been detained on aC-
count of low water over the bar, but his
report, It is understood reached Wash
ington too late to have the estimate in
cluded in the recommendation of the Chief
Engineer for river and harbor improve
ments. The shipyard, shipping, and busi-
ness interests have decided to take up the
matter and present it to Congress when
the time arrives.

they may be trying TO restore him 10 his

The captain positively refused to reveal
the nature Of this information. but said

detectives traced Dr. Dexter TO the New

THE IRNIN'S LONG RECORD
HER FIRST TRIP HERE is RE-
CALLED.
Great Reception Given the Little Yes
sci When She Made Port Eighteen
. Years Ago.

The brig W. G. Irwin discharged her
cargo today at the Inter-Island wharf
the dock at which she discharged eigh-
ten years ago, on her first trip to Homo
lulu. The dock is used altogether for
island vessels as a rule, but the quaran-
tine rules forcing all the latter into the
stream, deep water vessels are given
room, which in the present crowded
condition of the harbor they badly need.
The presence of the Irwin at the old
wharf is a reminder of early davs to
the old timers along the water front.
When she first arrived here, the arrival
was an event of more Importance than
the arrival of the biggest American
army transport or of the largest tramp
steamer afloat is now Everyone in
town went down to the foot of Fort
street to welcome the little brig, her
maiden voyage, under Captain Doug
lass, had made the trip here from San
Francisco in 10 days, record that has
been only slightly shaved in the eigh-
teen years that have followed. Claus
Spreckels, the sugar king, was among
those who gathered at the wharf to see
the brig come in.
The Irwin has made over hundred
trips here since the day of her first
arrival from San Francisco. She is still
sound and ready for many more voy-
ages. Captain Williams is now the
master.
