NEW DREDGING METHOD.

The Transport Grant WIN be- Used
to Deepen the Columbia.
"A new method OF dredging harbors
is shortly to be put into execution by
the war department. on the Pacific
coast, and something Of the kind may
be tried on the Atlantic coast, says a
Washington special to the New York
Times. One of the government trans
ports, the Grant, which is no longer
needed for the transport service, is be-
ing turned into a dredge and is to be
used for cleaning out the mouth Of the
Columbia. s. n
At the time this plan was conceived
an attempt was made to get a trans
port for use on the Atlantic coast. the
idea being to use it at New York and
other points. 1t was found, however,
that none Of the transports on the AT
lantic coast could be spared.
The Grant is being fitted up with
large bins and pumps The pumps will
suck up the soil and deposit 1t in the
bins, and the vessel will then steam out
to sea and drop the soil into the. ocean
It was found that an ordinary dredges
would be sof no use at the mouth OF
the Columbia, where the sea is heavier
than at any other point on the coast.

was established by congress in 1916.
Smithson once wrote: '"The best blood

but this avails me not. Ny name shall

hitched his wagon to the right star, and
his forecast is well on the way toward
fulfllment. His bones should come to
Washington. Mr.. Alexander Graham
Bell, one Of the regents Of the Smith

them over seas and has offered to pay
the expenses of removal.

customed to feed the stock in transit

frequently helped get the cattle up
that were down in the cars and un-
loaded and loaded again, and that he
