HARBOR
Especial to The Times. }

VALPARAISO, Chile, June s.
Men on the steamships which
bring cargoes from Tacoma to Val
paraiso, the principal seaport o.
Chile, during the coming year, viii
witness one of the most novel port
building jobs here that has evel
been undertaken.
Valparaiso harbor is scarcely
more than a big dip in the Soutf
American sea coast, and shipping
has suffered greatly in the pas
from the storms that sweep direct
ly from the ocean into the oper
roadstead.
Frequently steam and sailing
ships have been forced to put tc
sea during storms, and beat ur
and down the coast in order tc
avoid being dashed to ruin against
the beach.
In order to build up a safe har,
Dor and afford dock protection, the
government has begun construc.
ton of an immense breakwater.
Great concrete blocks, so feet
cube, of hollow construction, are
being built in a basin on the
shorefront, towed out to the har.
Dor line, filled with stone and
sunk.
When completed, this line Oh
concrete blocks will block off one
side of the mouth of the harbor
besides forming a quay on the in.
side that will double the dockage
capacity of the port.
The work of sinking the con.
crete blocks began in February
and is progressing rapidly.
The cost will be $13,00O,0O0.
An English firm has the con.
tract, and evolved the idea oil
sinking hollow blocks into the
deep water after all other schemes
to build a permanent break water
had failed.
The work will be completed in
1919, according to present plans.

So far as state "bone dryness"

from becoming effective at mid
night Wednesday.
