CHANNEL Of RIVER
IS 5000 FEET WIDE
PROGRESS OF WORK
ON COLUMBIA BAR.
Width and Depth Of TOrtuous Chan
mel are Increased-Larger Vessels
Can Find Safe Passage Into Colum-
bia River-Work on Jetty Going on
Steadily.

While Umatilla is a dry land county
and is situated 300 miles from the
Columbia bar, yet the subjects of OPP
ening the Columbia river and the
deepening of the Channel at the
mouth of the river are vital to this
county and the entire inland empire
on account Of the immense volume of
products from this section which
must be marketed through the Col
umbia river outlet.
The following from the Oregon
Daily Journal on the widening of the
channel at the mouth of the Colum-
bia will be of deep interest to the
readers of the East Oregonian:
Government engineers have COM
pleted the annual survey of the mouth
of the Columbia river and have found
that the channel across the bar has
widened from about 800 feet to 5000
says the Journal. The channel ap-
pears to have depth of 26 feet at
extreme low water which means ap-
proximately "a feet at high tide.
Colonel S. w. Roessler, United
States Engineer corps, visited Fort
Stevens yesterday from where the
surveyors conducted the survey. He
states that in a day or two the Off
cial chart of the bar will be ready
when the exact depth at every point
will be known.
The remarkable widening Of the
channel was discovered with surprise
by those who took the soundings for
while it was known that 1t had deep
ened materially since the survey a
year ago, no one had an idea that
the flow of the river had secured out
the sands over such an immense area.
and to so great a depth.
Colonel Roessler is much pleased
with the revelation of the survey, be-
cause it goes to show that the prose-
cution of the jetty is rapidly bringing
about the desired results and to re-
latively much greater extent with
every foot of further extension. It is
estimated to have the jetty completed
in another two years, when a depth
Of fully 2S feet will be expected at ex-
tremely low water, which will mean
a depth OF 36 feet at high tide.
Stone IL being delivered on the jetty
at the rate OF about 1000 tons a day,
and there is now very little danger Of
storms, causing damage to the trestle
work. Last winters storms, although
severe, tore out very little Of the pill
ing, and work can therefore be prose-

HEARST PARTY IN OREGON.
Independence League Is Given Birth
i'm Portland.

The Independence party, born Of
the brain and ambition of William
Randolph Hearst, has Joined tn,
ranks of political organizations In
oregon, says the Oregon Daily Jour.
nal. Last night 1t was brought into
the world at the Perkins hotel under
the personal supervision Of Hugh Nc
Isaac and greeted with the acclaim OF
a goodly crowd of those who can now
/ see nothing of much good In any OF
the old-time parties or organizations
political.
Mr.. McIsaac, who is the western or
ganizer for the new party presided
at the meeting and outlined the posi-
tlon and purposes of the new organ
! ization. He contended that the time
had come for those who yearned for
a square deal to break away from,
the old organizations and cast their
lot with one which stood for that
which was right and Just in politics
and polices. The independence
party was that organization.
NJ. ]. Malley, well known in Port
land as an old time democratic war
horse, was elected chairman Of the
state central committee. This COM
mlttee is to be composed of so men,
bers, the full list to be filled from the
state at large by those who were put
on the committee at the meeting last
night The committee will hold an
other meeting about July / for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
national convention of the Independ-
27.
At this meeting 1t is expected that
all the full membership of so will at
tend the session. Following the con-
vention the committee will again meet
to elect eight presidential electors to
make the campaign in the state for
the nominees Of the party for presi-
dent and vice president.
Nelson Hughes was elected secre-
tary of the state central committee at
the meeting last night. At the con-
clusion of he meeting Mr.. McIsaac
left for California, where he will take
up the work Of organizing the state
for the presidential campaign in the
fall. The delegates to the national
convention from California will be
chosen in San Francisco in a short
time, and Mr.. McIsaac will be there
to attend the meeting.
The promoters Of the new party be-
lieve they have bright chances OF
taking leading part in the politics Of
the state within a few years

to join In with them. Vincent sat at
one end Of the table and at the 9TH

The secretary. Of course. was not

Agatha Fourth had decorated the
table with some Of the yellow roses
and wild fern that grew near the cas-
tie. Agatha Sixth and I had found
them many times In our wanderings
and, by the way, she was looking es-

all wore shimmering white gowns. sim

my favorite Agatha Sixth on my right
