The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-06-24

The annual survey Of the bar at
the mouth OF the Columbia river has
just been completed, and the report
Of the matter made public by Col. 5.
W. Roessler yesterday shows that
the Columbia bar is practically .
thing OF the past.
The Improvement during the past
year Is extraordinary. The survey
shows that the channel has washed
out to a width OF 5000 feet in the
pas, II months, and as nearly as can
be now estimated before an accu-
rate compilation Of the data is made,
the depth at dead low water j. 70
feet.
This means that the channel is 10
times as wide as the survey OF last
year showed il to be, and one foot
greater in depth. These facts show
that the bar Is virtually eliminated as
an impediment to navigation.
Colonel Roessler returned to Port
land from Fort Stevens last evening
and he is much elated over the result
OF the survey. While he does not care
to discuss the matter until the blue
prints have been prepared, he agreed
to give approximate figures concern
ing the width and depth of that
"hogback' at the mouth Of the river,
which has always been more or less
OF an obstruction to deep water navi-
CATION at certain seasons OF the year.
Blue prints we're prepared last
night and will probably be ready for
distribution today The information
contained therein will be ample to
convince the most skeptical that the
completion OF the jetty will be the
means of securing out the sediment
in the channel to a much greater
depth, and it will be completed be-
fore the expiration of another year.
During the annual survey of last
year the best channel that could be
found was near the south side, which
| is generally referred to as the south
channel Il was Is feet deep and
only 800 feet wide, of barely suffic-
| lent width to accommodate the easy
passage of a ship. AT that time there
were four distinct channels through
which an. ordinary craft could thread
her way, each being of no less than
24a feet at low tide. But they were
narrow and on each side Of them
we're great deposits Of sand, which

Foraker win Make Hard Play
for the State
MUST HAVE NEGRO VOTE
Friends Of Foraker Hope That he
Will Have Tafts Support For
Senatorship- Direct Speeches
to Interests of Negroes.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-That
Senator Foraker will go on the stump
in Ohio and make the effort OF his
life to carry that state for the repub-
lican ticket is confidently believed by
the republicans high in the councils
of the party. On the other hand II
is hoped by Foraker's friends, that
Foraker is to have Taft's support for
the Senatorship.
Foraker's program regarding the
negroes of the 5th Infantry was one
OF the first matters to interest the at
tention of the leaders as soon as Taft
had been nominated. He recognized,
unless the negroes turn out in Ohio
and give their full vote to Taft, the
state might be endangered. Even if
so or rs per cent Of them remain at
home and do not vote at all, the re-
publican supremacy in the state will
be in ie9pardize,
For tlat reason it is insisted that
Foraker should go on the stump and
make at least one or two speeches in
which de would direct his remarks
to the interests Of the negro voters
