Senator Fulton Secures Another
Increase.
MONEY tTOs EXTEND JETTy
The Appropriation Bin as Il Passed
the House Appropriated 100000,
But Senator Fulton Secured an
Increase for the Jetty.

The river and harbor bill, watch
passed congress and has been approved
nv the president, carries a sufficient
appropriation to commence and con-
tinue work. both on the Columbia be-
tween Astoria and Portland and also
the Columbia river bar. The house
cut down the appropriation for the
har to $400. 900 on account OF the strons
opposition Of Congressman Burton,
chairman of the committee, but when
the bill went to the senate, Senator
Fulton succeeded in having II increased
to s7OO,00O. Although this is not suf'
fcient to complete the work, 1t Will be
enough to continue the work until con-
vress meets again, when there will
probably not be as much opposition.
The improvement of the mouth of
the Columbia river consists at pres
ent in the construction Of a jetty,
known as the south jetty. which, when
completed will extend seven miles
seaward. There are now about five
and one nalf miles practically com
pleted. The project for this improve
ment contemplates the securing OF a
4O-foot channel with at least a width
sf one-h half mile over the bar. The in
tended work of the government to pro-
vide this is summarized in the annual
report of the chief OF engineers for
1903. In speaking of the project, this
report says:
TO produce a bar depth of 40 feet
and a channel of suitable width, no,
less than one-half mile, and to main,
tain it permanently will, in the opin-
ion of the board, require a nearly com
plete control of the ebb flow across
the bar. The beneficial results follow.
ing from such control are seen al the
present gorge, just within the end OF
the existing jetty, where great depths
are found, and a depth of 40 feet is
projected seaward one and one halt
miles beyond the end of the controll-
ing work. With the extension Of the
south jetty the north bank of the
channel will undoubtedly grow sea-
ward and increase in height. Should
the growth of this bank in length and

necessary control Of the ebb flow, no
work in addition TO the south jetty
will be required. The board is, how
ever, not satisfied that this will be thu
ease. 1t therefore recommends the
construction of a north jetty at such
time as its necessity becomes appar.
ent, and in case the south jetty alone
fails to produce or maintain a perm.
anent 4O-foot channel"
The plan of improvement at this
time, therefore, covers the full con-
struction Of the south jetty, but should
that fail to give the desired results the
north jetty will be undertaken. With
the comparatively small appropriation
fUr this year it will be impossible to
complete the south jetty this season,
but sufficient should be accomplished
TO insure its completion next year The
first work this spring will be the re-
pairing Of the tramway and super
structure destroyed by the storms Of
this winter following which extension
york will be taken up.

DISPOSITION OF CONVICT HIRE
important Ruling Made BY Attorney
General.

Attorney General John G.. Hart has
Just rendered an important opinion in
regard to the disposition of the funds
arising from convict hire under the
new McMichael law passed at the re.
cent session of the Legislature. I'm
der the new law it seems the require
ment was made that grand jnries
should again pass on the question of
whether each county's proportion of
the convict fund should be used for
schools or on the public roads. AL
though the old law required that when
once decided, the grand jury's decision
could not be changed for two years,
Judge Hart holds that this two year
provision is not effected by the new
law, which repeats the old one on this
subject, and that the funds must CON
tinue to go in the direction indicated
by each grand jury until the two years
period has expired. Funds which go
to public schools out Of the convict
money must be RENTED to the county
school superintendent; those used on
public roads must go to the county
treasurer,
