TO FINISH SOUTH
JETTY FIRST
COLONEL RoESsLER SAYS THAT
THE PROJECT SHOULD WAIT =
ENGINEER SUBMITS ANNUAL
REPORT ON BAR CONDITIONS

That appropriations made by the
government for the improvement Of the
Columbia River bar have been judicious-
" expended Is evidenced by the fact the
channel there has been deepened fully a
foot during the past year, as shown in
the annual report of the district en-.
gineer, which was made public yesterday
by Lieut.. Colonel Roessler. Of the United
States Engineers. The bar has an aver
age minimum depth OF between 23 and
"a feet for the entire width, and in
places the last survey, made in June,
reads 25, 20 and even 81 feet.
This encouraging movement is attri-
buted to the results accomplished
through the extension of the jetty from
the south shore. as the bar dredge Chi
nook has not been in commission during
the period covered by the report. The
recent survey also indicates the channel
il developing in a southwesterly direc-
ton. With depth of at least 2S feet
at low water, and allowing between
seven and eight feet for tides, 1t is
shown a depth of 80 feet is easily OBJ
tainable that will afford an abundance
of water for nearly all deep-draft ves-
sells plying on the Pacific.
The fact Is also brought out that the
crest of the bar is fully 500 feet mar
rover that it was at the time of the
last previous annual report forwarded to
the War Department. This is regarded
as most encouraging indication and is
taken to sustain the contention that
the waters are gradually being confined
until with the finishing of the south
jetty greater results will be shown, and
ii the north jetty project is carried out,
as recommended March l6, 1908, per-
manent depth will be secured, which will
forever eliminate the necessity Of con-
tinuous work and heavy expenditures.
In dealing with the situation Major
Roessler calls attention to the fact that
when the original jetty project was
started in 1884 the good effects were
noticeable, and by the time of COM
pletion in 1895, there was depth on
the bar Of 81 feet. This was for over a
mile wide and obtained in southwest
erly direction. Shoaling followed soon,
and by 1902 the depth had decreased
fully 10 feet. Further extensions Of the
project, as approved in 1908, for % miles
brought the stage to between 20 and "a
feet.
The jetty work is made the all
important matter and with triae over
mile of the south project yet to be
carried out large appropriation will
be needed next year. That an additional
mile of trestle and enrockment win
demonstrate a decidedly further in
crease in depth is the opinion held, and
ii the same conditions are met with on
the north jetty project the most favor
able gains are anticipated.
The uniform depth extending the
width of the bar is a peculiar condition,
and no other such case is thought to
exist on the globe. The sand carried out
of the river is beaten back by the heavy
