MAKE CELLO
PROJECT SAFE
Great Effort Will Be Made to Secure
Continuing Contract.
Every Congressman From Northwest
Will Work to That End-Waste-
fulness and Della, on Columbia
River Jetty Due to Uncertainty of
Tpasmodic Appropriations.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The recon-
mendation of General Mackenzie,
chief of engineers, that an appropria-
ton of half a million dollars be made
this winter to continue the construc-
ton of the Cello canal, opens up an
opportunity for placing this work
under cCntinuing contract system.
In the river and harbor bill passed
last session was an item authorizing
the appropriation now recommended;
that means congress sanctions the
appropriation, and will make the
money available when asked for. The
appropriation will come as a matter
OF form in the sundry civil bill,
which will be passed toward the
close of the approaching session, un-'
less it turns out that the available
money is exhausted before spring, in
which event the appropriation may
be made in the urgency deficiency
bill, which will be passed in January
or February.
1t is most desirable that the canal
should be brought under a contin-
uing contract, for unless this Is done
the work must progress spasmodlcal-
ly, as congress appropriates money
from time to time. Inasmuch as
there is yet to be appropriated up
wards of $3,0O0,0O0 to complete the
canal, it is doubly important that it
should be made a continuing con-
tract. Otherwise, the money is like
ly to be made available in quarter or
million lots, and construction
will be strung out over long period
of years. This is undesirable, for
experience has demonstrated that all
large works of this character, built
under spasmodic appropriations, cost,
much more in the end than those,
which are built under continuing
contracts, the money being made
available as rapidly as needed.

Fruit Rate Lowered.

Portland-The Southern Pacific com.
pany November % will put into effect
a new rate of 80 cents per 100 pounds
on canned goods in carlots from Ash
land, this being the same rate made
recently for Grants Pass. The COM
pany's intention is to encourage devel-
opment of the canning industry in the
Rogue river valley. Similar rates will
be made from Willamette valley and
other points. The freight traffic de-
partment is busy revising it's traffic to
comply with the Interstate Commerce
commission g order that the long and
short haul feature be eliminated and
specific rates be made from each point
in proportion nearer the through rate
All railroad companies have until jan
uary to make the necessary changes.

Pacific Mail Nav Quit,

New York, Nov. 23.-In a speech
tinged with bitterness, General Man.
ager R. p. Schwerin, of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Line, assailed the
Government's attitude toward ship
ping on the Pacific, and declared
that the present policy bade fair to
drive the American flag from the Pa
cific as we'll as the Atlantic. His
line, he said, was losing money as a
result of the operations of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, and he
intimated that the company would
not ask for a renewal of it's 50-year
charter, which expires on April 5

GREATER SAN FRANCISCO.
Charter Amendments to Provide for
Immense Bond Issue.


San Francisco, Nov. 26.-By the spe-
cial session OF the legislature, the city
of San Francisco has been enabled to
take the necessary steps for rehabilita-
tion on big scale. The Legislature
has ratified amendments to the local
charter which were adopted by the
voters at the last election. The most
important Of the amendments to the
city at the present time is that which
admits of the sale of bonds bearing 5
per cent interest. Under the charter
the city was empowered to issue bonds
carrying interest not in excess Of 4 per
cent. The local law provides that the
bonds may not be sold below par. 1t
was impossible to sell per cent
bonds, but now the city will be able to
60 ahead with 5 per cent securities.
OF course it is not expected that they
can be tloated under present financial
conditions. but by the time the ques-
tion has been submitted to the voters
and the bonds prepared, it is believed
that the furry will have passed.
1t is proposed to issue 5 per cent
bonds to the extent of $2s, 900, 900 for
public Improvements. OF this sum
$6,000,000 will be devoted to the re-
construction of the city hall. One mil
lion dollars will be devoted to the re-
construction of the shattered hall of
justice. 1t was completely wrecked by
the fire and during the Schmitz admin
istration no effort was made to restore
it. One million dollars is to be spent
for a new county hospital. Another
million will be used for public libra
~. Several million (the amount has
not yet been accurately estimated) will
be devoted to the erection of new school
houses; several hundred thousand will
be used for the purchase of lands fer
park purposes; $4,000, 900 will be en-
ployed for the reconstruction of sewers
and streets, and 1000, 900 will be de-
voted to the purposes of an auxiliary
water system from the ocean for fire
fighting.

Postpone ThaW Trial.

New York, Nov. 26.-The second
trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, set for
Monday, will again be postponed, and
there is little chance that it will be
called until some date well along in
January. The decision to ask for a
postponement has been agreed to by
both sides. 1t is due partly to the fact
that the task OF securing a jury would
be made doubly hard by the approach
of the holidays and the prospect of the
talesmen of spending both Christmas
and New Years day locked under the
care of court baliffs.

Aged Chinese Empress Alone Holds

San Francisco, Nov. 25.--Another
Boxer outbreak Of the sort which oc-
Cured in China in 1899, when many
lives were lost, is threatened for the
near future, according to advices re-
ceived here on the auxiliary collier
Justin, arriving from Manila and
Guam, and the United States is pre-
pairing to rush troops to China at a
moments notice. A steamer fully
loaded with provisions and ammunition
is lying in the harbor at Manila and,
should report be received from China
to the effect that the Boxers are again
on the rampage, troops from the Phil
ippines will be Immediately hurried to
the scene of the outbreak.
Those arriving on the Justin state
that from reports received from China,
it is pointed out that this trouble is
likely to occur in the vicinity of Pekin,
where the former fighting resulted
from an attack upon the missionaries
1t is stated that trouble would have
resulted long before now. except for the
interference of the dowager empress.
To her alone, it is stated by men arriv-
ing on the collier, is due the fact that
the Boxers have remained quiet for the
past many months. At the present
time the empress is seriously i'll, and it
is said that her death is expected in
the near future.
Once the empress has passed away,
the Boxers will lose little time in re-
newing their attacks upon the mission.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
TESTS OF CEMENT.
University of Oregon to Make Ex-
haustive Experiments.

university O' SVchoH " 'oNC -
haustive Experiments.
University of Oregon, Eugene-The
department of engineering Of the Uni
versity of Oregon has begun series OF
exhaustive tests on the strength and
impermeability of concrete for building
purposes and for the construction OF
dams and reservoirs. The ordinary
waterproof concrete is mixed in the
proportion of one part of cement to two
parts of sand and four of stone. Ii,
through electrolytic action, induced by
the addition OF small percentage CT
clay, alum or other agents, the approx
innate proportion can be changed to the
ratio of one to three to six, it can be
easily seen that large saving can be
made in the cost of materials, since the
cement is the expensive part of the
wall. Certain experiments already
made have tended to show that concrete
so mixed has both greater strength and
greater impermeability. To determine
whether or not this is true, some three
or four hundred tests will be made, ex-
tending through the year, with varying
definite amounts of electrolytic agents
added. Each sample will be submitted
to a water pressure test Of from forty
to one hundred pounds to the squrae
;,,nh ~, oIIitiap tn tha lor
preston tests. The department of
chemistry is cooperating, and the most
thorough work possible will be done.
G. A. McClain and J. W. Macarthur, of
the department of engineering, will
have charge of the tests.
Since the university has at present
no money available for the carrying on
of such work, the expenses will be
borne by the men in charge.

BELIEVE BIG CROP CERTAIN
John j. Lumsden and Ellis ofeehi
Investigate Pa1isade Or
chnrd.

Yesterday John ]. Lumsden and
Ellis Green, in Mr.. Lumsden's auto
mobile made trip through the fruit
orchards of the Pa1isade country, re-
turning home at a late hour yester-
dav afternoon. The gentlemen made
thorough Investigations in many or
chards and talked with number
of the biggest and most suceessfui
growers of the Pallsade district, and
after making these Investigations
and having these interviews the two
gentlemen express their belief that
Palisade will come to the front this
season with a big crop of peaches. a
crop that will in every way be up to
the average.
The gentlemen state that the grow
ers. pretty thoroughly disheartened
the first day after the freeze of Thurs
dae night, found that they were not
so badly damaged after making in
vestigations. 1t is firmly believed that
at least one-half and perhaps two
thirds of the peach blossoms that
were in part or in full bloom on
Thursday night, are absolutely sound
OF course all through the orchards
dead blossoms could be found here
and there and in some trees the des-
truction was worse than in others,
but If two-thirds of the live bios
SONS on each tree natures and de-
velopes the fruit the Palisade fruit
men will have one of the biggest
and best graded crops of peaches
they have ever had.
Messrs. Green and Lumsden
brought back with them number OF
branches from Elberta and Alexander
peach trees, taken from an orchard
more exposed than most orchards in
that section and an orchard which
the owner believed was ruined last
Friday. On these branches, thickly
covered with blossoms, it is seen
that far more than half the buds are
alive and sound, thus insuring an i'm
mense crop in this orchard and yet
this orchard Jared even worse than
most of the orchards around Pail
sade. The two gentlemen believe
that the freeze of Thursday night will
prove nothing worse than n thinning
process thereby saving the growers
much work in the thinning line ant
providing for a bigger and still more
delicious quality of the fine fruit.
