VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION.
Bodiss of Moore and Shaw stin Lying
at the Morgue.

The bodies Of Engineer Maurice
Moore and ]. C. Shaw, who were vic
Tins of the explosion at the De Force
oil factory Wednesday afternoon. are
lying on slabs at the morgue. Not q
relative or close friend of the men has
yet appeared to arrange for their fun
erals and burial, and it is quite prob
able that both will be buried by the
county.
Coroner Pohl learned yesterday that
Moore had a brother residing in an
Arizona town. and telegraphed the fact
of Moore's death and asked for instruc-
tions as to the disposition Of the re-
mains. Up TO late hour last night no
reply had been received.
An Inquest on the bodies Of Moore
and Shaw will be held at the under
taking parlors this lorning at 10
o'clock.
There Is no longer any doubt that
Chris Rentz, who was missing after
the explosion at the De Force oil fac
tory OH Wednesday, was drowned. 1t is
believed now that Rentz was stunned
by the force of the explosion and that
he drowned while incapable Of assisting
himself. A search was made for his
body yesterday without success. An
other search win be made today.
John Rentz. brother of the missing
man, arrived in the city last night
from Seattle in response to a tele-
gram from William Book notifying him
Of the accident. Captain Rentz had

TO ASSIST NAVIGATION,
Captain harts Reports improvements
ON Rivers and HarbOrs.

The work OF improving the rivers
ana narbors In Oregon. which has been
in progress for several months is made
the subject OF a most favorable report
by Captain Harts OF the federal engi-
neers.
At Coos Bay the north jetty tram
way has been completed. except eight
bents. II is expected to complete the
,ramway entirely this month. Enrock-
ment il proceeding at the rate Of l5,-
200 to 1900 tons per month.
~ sleuslaw the work is well under
way. Seven bents have been added to
The tramway. which is being enrocked.
This work is making good progress.
Dredging OF all the shoals in Lower
Tiilamook bay has been completed,
with the exception OF one. The dredge
is now engaged in widening the cut
through the mud fla. opposite Bay
City. AS soon as this work Is completed,
the remaining shoal in the lower bay
will be dredged out. When this Is COM
pleted there will be no obstruction to
the free passage Of vessels in the low
er bay. In Hoquarton slough there
are four short bents. which will have to
be cut of to accommodate the Sue H.
Elnore. the new boat now being built
for the Tillamook run. Captain Harts
expects to have this work done by the
time the Elmore is ready to run.
At the Cascades the work has been
interfered with somewhat by high wa
ter. but good progress is being made.
Work has been completed on the north
side Of the canal at the lower end.
and operations have been begun on the
other side.
The sand blast is working to perfec-
tion. The middle and upper gates have
been painted as far as high water
would permit. and as the water goes
down the painters win follow it. and
then the lower gates will be painted.
The way the sand blasts cut or rust
and old paint is caution. The only
trouble is that II is hard on the men
and removes the skin from their hands
and faces. They work bundled up in
clothes for protection. which is incon-
venient at best.

HANNA is LOSING HIS GRIP.

Otherwise he doesn' give "a rap. The
subsidy bill has been So drawn that
it will enable him 10 levy tribute from

second trust campaign.
The house was billed 10 put the
ship subsidy steal through early in

Representative Grosvenor. who was
10 manage the matter in the house.
discovered that h. could not control

to stand for he bill a. Hanna had
drawn il. and after they had amend
cd it so that the ship trust could not
rob the treasury Hanna would not
| accept the bill When he started his
campaign to get the senate to father

Hanna. The bill has hung fire ever
since and it, chance for passage-ir
the shape that Hanna wants il Il

The work ofcongress So far as pub

end. lt is doubtful if the Nicarauga
canal receives consideration in the
senate and the subsidy bill, which
would have to pass both houses, il
practically shelved.
The fact Is that Senator Hanna
