Chinook Working inside.

For the past 10 days the weather
has been SO severe that the bar dredge
was unable to operate on the bar. Great
combers have been driven in by the
southwest gale that has ragged and ship
ping has been more or less tied up.
The Chinook has not been idle, how
ever, and during her enforced stay in
side the harbor has been dredging away
with customary diligence, deepening the
inside anchorage. She is getting the
inner harbor in fine condition, and II
will not be long before she can do some
work opposite the city. Despite the
unlkind things said Of her by the Ore
gonian, local shipping men pin theiI
faith to her, and look to her to pro-
vide the depth that is needed to accom-
odate the shipping of the river.

made the race track at St Louis may
