Uy MnilD The most severe storm that the captain of that vessel ever experienced struck an American yes scl about 300 miles out of New York on the last trip to the West lnd1cs.

 The gale hit the steamer about 1 D. m. Thursday and before that night it had reached a velocity of about 130 miles an hour. The captain was par tially prepared for what was coming by the astounding fall in the barome- ter which went as low as 2S.7 but, in spite of every effort made by the crew to make things tight, the sea got into some of the staterOoms and every thing was drcnChcd Some of the portholes in the bow were stove in and all the awnings were carried away. The wireless aerial was swept away carly in the storm and the stays of the masts were broken so that it was feared that these would he taken away too.
 The vessel was forced to head right into the teeth of the gale and such was the force of the wind that the steamer covered only 75 miles in twen ty-four hours during the gale The storm abated about a. m and the steamer entered San Juan harbor in safety.
 Though there was no one injured, the passengers were so greatful to the captain that they prepared testimon- ials expressing deep appreciation and gratitude for his able seamanshp and management of the ship during the dangerous tempest"

DEBRIS DUMPING OBSTRUCTS

owing to considerable complaint on the part of ship owners that the mouth of Snake River is being obstructed by the dumping of refuse and debris of all kinds in and near the navigablc chan mel, the attention of the public is calI- ed tO the appended extract from the ton of the navigablc waters of the United States The dumping of num- crous varieties of debris, including heavy objects of various kinds, into the river channel seriously cndangcrs the small vessels which make the i'm ncr channel their refuge in stormy weather. in addition to helping to blockade the usually marrow and shal- low passage. As an example of the dangers following from thIs long con tinucd practice on the part of the public, it is stated that a small vcs- sel recently ran afoul of a broken stove while passing through the en- trance and another is reported to have had it's propeller entanglcd in a couple of wire mattresses.
 The complaints regarding the in discriminate dumping of garbage and refuse in the river and along the shore adjacent to the entrance have become so frequent that the attention of the authorities has been attracted and, in the event of a continuance of the prac- tice, the officials intend to take steps to prosecute offenders,

The war department engineer, Mir. E. l.. Carpenter, has completed the survey of the Snake River channel and approaches and is now in possession of the data necessary to complete the plans and specifications for the much anticipated harbor construction. Ac- cording to the present contemplations. the war department will advertise for bids for the erection of the jetties some time during the winter. Mir, Carpenter states that local bidders will be given eyer. possible ol portunity to submit bids on the same basis as out side competitors Personally lie is of the opinion that local concern could easily be formed to undertake the work and thinks that the construction would probably be benefited to a de- gree through construction by local parties, who would naturally take a much greater interest in the work than would outside contractors, who would have no other idea than to strictly conform 10 the department specified tiOns.
 Just when the department will call for bids is not determined but it will probably be some time in January or February. On his return to head quarters at Seattle, Mir. Carpenter will draw final plans immediately and the call for bids will probably be made within a short period after their completion and approval.
 According to the plans contemplat-

 The southern ends of the jcttics will extend approximately three hun drcd feet or more beyond the shore line. the whole length of the structures being something over four hundred feet. exclusive of the sheet pihng lin ing the inner channel.
 The drcdgod channel will have an average depth of six feet or more. thus permitting every vessel of the coast ing fleet to pass through without dan ger of grounding, at all times.
 Mr. Carpenter states that he is not definitely able to determine whether the accumulation of sand and debris will be m sufficient quantity to ncccs- sitate annual dredging operations to keep the channel clear but considers it probable that some attention will be required Regarding the earlier plan to provide a suction dredgc to keep the channel open. Mir. Carpenter says that the department has not abandon ed that proposal and intimates that

The jetties will be con- structed with sloping sides, so that they will form httle obstruction to winter ice and the sharp pointed and sloping sea ends will be protected by a heavy capping of concrete. In order to further prevent the ice from catch ing hold on the structures, the space where the slopng side timbcrs will join at the top will also be filled with d layer of concrete.
