OUTLOOK FOR THE
RIVERS

Portland. Ore. Dec 30.-Much
work on the rivers and harbors Of
the Pacific Northwest will be as
cOmplishei during the coming year
provided the recommendations of Major
Mclndoe, corps of the United States
engineers, in charge of this district,
his made his annual report to the Sec
rotary of War and urges the expen-
diture Of s3.042,5O0 in river and
harbor improvements in this dis
trict for the fiscal year ending June
II. 1911.
The largest appropriation recon-
mended is $1,56O,OOO for oontinu-
ing the improvement at the mouth
of the Columbia river. The sum of
100000 is urged for the work in
the samestream between The Dalles
rapids and Cello Falls. The re-
mainder of the desired appropriation
is d ivided between the different
coast harbors and work on the CO.
lumbia, Willamette, Snake and other
rivers, including the Cowlitz, Grays
and Lewis rivers in Washington.
According to the report, operations
during the past year consisted largely
in dredging shoal places between
Portland and Astoria in the William
cite and Columbia rivers and in ex-
tending the Columbia jetty besides
some work at Coquille and Tillamook
and dredging in the upper willamette
and upper Columbia If Major Nc

Indoe's recommendations are carried
out, they will mean much permanent
work of great value to the whole Pa
cific northwest.
Portland takes fourth place among
cities of the United States in wheat
exports for the eleven months of the
current year ending with November
This is according to the report of the
secretary of the treasury on bread
stuffs exported from this country.
Puget sound comes next after Port
land. New York is first, Philadel-
phia second, and Duluth third. Last
year Portland ranked second in the
country in wheat shipments. The fig
ures just compiled of wheat exports
do not include large shipments of
wheat from Portland to California.
This tonnage is very heavy each year.
Agents for the Hill interests have
closed deal that includes fourteen
blocks of ground in the North Port
land terminal district, which was ac-
CURED at cost of nearly 100000
1t is understood the purchases are
for terminals for the Northern Pa
cific, which plans additional trackage
facilities here, and that the recent
visit of ]. j. Hill and Howard Elliott
had much to do with completing the
purchase. The prices paid for the
different properties making up the
whole tract were the highest yet
given for land in that district AMI in
dictate the growing Importance of
Portland as a railway center. This is
the biggest deal in Portland realty
for several months.
