WORK HURRIED ON
COLUMBIA JETTY
ROCK DELIVERIES TO BE IN
CREASED SOON FROM 1000
TO $500 TONS DAILY.

! Rock deliveries at the Columbia
River jetty will be increased soon
from 1000 tons daily to about 4500
tons, and the work OF pushing the
structure to competitor will be rushed,
says the Portland Telegram Owing
to the bad weather which has prevail
ed at the bar the greater part of the
Spring il is feared that the project
cannot be completed before the
stormy season starts. But it will be
so closely finished as to be about as
serviceable as though every rock had
been put in place.
Gerald Bagnall, the United States
Engineer who is in charge OF opera
tions at the mouth of the Columbia,
arrived at the city this morning and
is we'll pleased with the progress
which has been made. He says the
limited rock deliveries and the in
clement weather have delayed the
work more than had been anticipated,
but everything is getting in shape SO
that the best OF results will follow be-
fore many days ealpse The output
at the quarries was not so great as
had been expected on the start, but
this matter will soon be remedied
There will be no trouble in taking
care OF all the shipments which can
be forwarded at the jetty site.
Until very recently the bar has
been too rough to permit of the sur
vey now under way OF being carried
on continuously" says Mr.. Bagnall.
"As a consequence, it will take from
ten days to two weeks more to com
plete the soundings While am hop
ing that an increased depth OF water
will be found, it is yet too early to
state with any degree OF accuracy
just what the survey will reveal As
matter Of fact, | will be unable to
tell much about it until the Job has
| OCGH ullIoHCu.
Mr.. Bagnall is sure that the jetty
will be the means of causing the bar
channel to scour out to a much great
er depth. He says that the new
dredge, which is nearing completion
on the Atlantic coast to take the
place of the w S. Ladd, will be
around here before Fall 1t is the
intention to use her on the bar occa-
sionaly to assist in maintaining a
deep channel She is OF the suction
| type and Of twice the capacity as the
Ladd, which could not be utilized at
the bar.
With modern dredge in service
down that way and the jetty practi-
cally completed this Fall, there is
every assurance that the channel
across the Columbia River bar will
be deepened to the 30-foot mark at
low tide before another season rolls
around When that has been done
there will be sufficient water at the
entrance to the river to accommodate
the largest ship or steamer that ever
visited a Pacific Coast port.

CHARGES FALSE.
Against the Late c. Brusie OF San
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, June ll.-All
records in the case against the late
Judson G. Brusie, clubman and play
wright, charged with embezzlement
Of the funds Of the Metropolitan Sur
ETY. Company were ordered stricken
from the bonds Of the court, and the
bondsmen released from their obliga-
tons in the matter by Police Judge
Weller today From the bench, Judge
Weller said that he had issued the
complaint and the warrant for the ar.
rest Of Brusic upon statements he af-
terwards learned were false He
spoke feelingly Of the dead man, and
OF his friendship.
The action Of Judge Weller fol-
lowed an eloquent appeal for such
action by Attorney Samuel Short
ridge, who referred to the charges
made against Brusie as hasty, malic-
ious and wicked.
The remains Of Brusie, accompanied
by his widow, arrived in the city at
noon today, and were conveyed to an
undertaking establishment Arrange
ments for the funeral ceremonies and
the cremation Of the body are being
made.
No one appeared to press the
charges against Brusie, and it is I'm
derstood that they will be dropped
and his memory cleared Of the stain
placed upon it.
Brusie died few hours after his
arrest. His heart had been affected.

MAKE CUT IN FARE
Receivers Of Chicago & MiIwau-
kee Electric Issue Coupon
Ticket for Commuters
GIVES FOUR CENT FARE RATE

A new communication ticket has been
placed on sale at all of the stations of
the Chicago and Milwaukee Railway
and the use of this ticket will result
in a substantial reduction in fares for
the people who are using the line.
The ticket contains 100 five cent
coupons and it is sold for four dollars
Single coupons are to be accepted by
the conductors in payment for five cent
fares and the payment Of two coupons
as minimum fare will not be demanded
as with the ten cent coupon books which
have been in use on the road. The new
ticket will be valid for one year from
the date of the sale and it's use will not
be restricted to the use of any one in
dividual.
1t is expected that this ticket on the
electric lines will become quite as popu-
lar as the Communication ticket has been
on the Northwestern and other steam
lines. 1t will mean to the passenger a
reduction Of twenty per cent on all
fares and it will mean the granting Of
tour cent fare to all people who live
within this zone Of traffic. It is thought
that this ticket will largely increase the
traffic on the electric road. President
Frost had laid plans for the issue of
these tickets some time ago, but the
road was thrown into the receivers
hands before he had time to carry out
the plan and for this reason he referred
the matter to the receivers and they ap-
proved the wisdom Of the plan. The
tickets were placed on sale in Kenosha
yesterday and it is said that a demand
for them was Immediately seen.
1t is said that the receivers will make
an effort as far as possible to carry
out the plans OF President Frost for
changes to be made on the road. The
plans of the receivers will be given
out in public statement to be issued
in the near future.

The Rummage sale is undoubtedly
good for the treasures Of the various
churches but it is mighty hard on the
very poor for all that. The leaders of
the Salvation army and of the other
organizations engaged in charitable
work among the unfortunate have been
handicapped by the noticeable falling
off in the supplies Of clothing and other
necessities formerly only too gladly do
mated to them since these sales com
menced. Any one who has had occasion
to observe the vast amounts of half
worn clothing and other articles dis
posed of at these sales must realize
what a vast difference the loss of these
supplies must make to the charity work
ers who under the most favorable cir
cumstances have only too little to meet
the many demands made upon them.
The argument that these sales save the
self respect Of the poor by making it
| ing their necessities supplied by charity
will hardly hold either for in most in
stances the thrifty buyers who get the
undoubted bargains offered at these
sales are much better off financially
than some of the doners who contribute
them.
