Conditions More Favorable Here
Than mt New Orleans, Says
Dredging Master
j. r.. Hubbard.

Repairs to the boilers Of the big gov.
eminent dredge Chinook will be com
pIeted by tonight, and IL the weather Il
favorable dredging operations on tn,
Columbia bar will be resumed Monday
The boilers OF the Chinook are IL year,
oil and Of late had been leaking. Sub.
sfantial repairs have been made and
no more difficulty from this source Il
anticipated
j. #. Hubbard, dredge master of the
Chinook, expresses the opinion that
eminentiy satisfactory results will be
obtained at the mouth Of the Columbia.
Mr.. Hubbard has been ia the govern
ment service for years and has had
charge Of some OF the most important
undertakings In the country. While as
rule II Ia necessary to keep dredges In
constant operation, the results secured
are wonderfully beneficial. and as COM
pared with other harbors the Columbia
offers an excellent field for work.
The government has secured most
satisfactory results In the harbors Of
the SOUTH" said Mr.. Hubbard. "and
the utility Of dredges has been conclu-
siveiy demonstrated. When we took a
dredge to the Charleston. s. c., harbor
there was but nine feet Of water On the
bar. When we finished operations the
depth was 2sls feet. At Fernandina,
Fla, we undertook to deepen a nine
foot bar and provided depth OF "A feet
At Fernandina there is now straight
channel "a feet in depth from deep
water inside TO deep water outside.
At Key West the channel was deepen
ed from six feet to Is feet; at George
town. from seven feet to 15is feet.
Dredging operations are constantly
carried on at Sandy Hook, the New
York harbDr and the government Is
now building two dredges for use there
The necessity for dredging operations
at many of our harbors is realized by
the government. and eight or 10
,lredges are now in the course Of
construction for the various harbors in
the eastern states and in the south.
While the Fernandina Improvement
was carried on kept close watch onthe
progress OF the work. There we had
a dredge provided with 1S-lnch pumps,
and after the work was well under
way We found we could secure an aver
age depth of 8 Of an inch daily 8 Here
we have 20-inch pumps and should Sc
cure equally as good results, At Fern
dina the greatest amount Of sand
handled per minute was 20 cubic yards.
The greatest amount thus far handled
on the Columbia river bar has been "a
cubic yards, but we will handle 80
when We have made good start"
Mr.. Hubbard added that conditions
were much more favorable here than at
where the har!or has been
deepened to an extent that permits the
OF the largest carriers that
ply the Atlantic. Dredging operations
are now being carried on at New Or
leans In the southwest entrance, oppo-
site the famous Eads jetty.
Il am satisfied deep entrance can
be provided at the mouth Of the Colum
bin" said Mr.. Hubbard. in conclusion,
'and we only need favorable weather
to demonstrate it,"

BOYS OF COMPANY
X" TO GIVE PLAY
Preparing to Present a War Drama
"Twixt Love and Duty" to Make
Improvements on Armory.

Co. "E" N. G. w. of this city an
nounces the production in the near
future of the famous old war drama,
"Twixt Love and Duty" under the d.
rection of Luke L. Linn for the benefit
OF the improvement fund of the COM
pany. The company has made record
during the past year of which the whole
city should be proud. During the year
just past the company carried away
every prize offered in the m Workmanship
and sharpshooting contests and have re-
ceived uniformly high praise from every
inspecting officer who has looked them
over in an official capacity.
Several Improvements are, and have
been for some time, badly needed. The
company rooms need refitting, etc., and
it is for this purpose that the play is be-
ing produced.
The best local talent has been secured
and has been busily rehearsing for some
time. The play has for it's theme the
love story of northern officer and a
southern sweetheart. 1t abounds in
strong situations, stirring climaxes and
magnificent tableaus. The comedy is
ably carried by Sockery Schneidelbecker,
a drafted Dutchman, who does not want
to fight. Special scenery is being pre-
pared for the production and some
brilliant electrical effects will be intro
duced. 1t is safe to predict that the
boys will be greeted with crowded houses
and delighted audiences. No expense
will be spared to make the play an ar
tistic and finished production. A spec
tacular street parade is one of the fea-
lures contemplated.

The Cost of Irrigation Water Rights.

Some of the Washington dispatches
have called attention to the expected in
crease in cost of irrigation OF the western
lands which the Interior Department
designated the other day for the first
contraction under the national irrigation
law, pointing out that this cost is double
certain estimates made during the dis
cussion of the irrigation bill, which were
placed at IS an acre. Five dollars would
undoubtedly be a low average to place
upon all the reclaimable western lands.
But whether the irrigation works which
the government is to construct in the
West will cost at the rate of IS an acre
or SIS or 500 an acre is a matter which
need in nowise interfere with the prose-
cution OF the irrigation constructions
under the national irrigation law passed
by congress last summer. In every case
the cost of putting water upon the land
is to be borne by the settler and the
