WORK ON JETTY.
Increase in Depth of Water on the
Bar Is satisfactory.


Before the fall storms set in the

Columbia river will be extended the
full distance expected by the engi-
neerS. II is out six miles, and II is

length of 1000 feet before the seasons

was expected of 1t.
While no sounding of the bar has
recently been taken it is believed that
the sand and gravel which has been

survey was made in June the water
at the shoalest point on the bar was

almost 40 feet.
depth of about two feet since the pre-
vious soundings. With the completion
OF the jetty to the point contemplated
this year there is believed to be no
doubt that a sufficient depth of water
will be secured to accommodate the
crossing in and out of the biggest
ships that frequent the Pacific coast
ports, or which go to any other quar-
ter of the globe, for that matter,
With a S0-foot depth on the bar 1t will
be possible for a vessel drawing IS
feet of water to enter the Columbia
river, as the tide will give 1t an ad-
ditional depth of 10 feet.
From the appearance of things the
jetty has been the means of forming
strong current, which is gradually
wearing away the hard crust of the
bar and carrying the sediment to the

when the stockmen decided that they
