Idatron of the customs dlstilots otjhe United Suite*, reported to the Chamber of Com- inerte ibsjtr memorial, which was adopted by the Chamber and ordered mailed to mem¬ ber of Congress generally, and ilso to the different chambers of commerce along the northwest.ern border, from fyike Superior to Idaho, and alfo those ol ilie lower lulus, with urgent requents for co-operation.

Ilie hands ot the present committee and plnCe'l I" tl'° hands of another conrtiiltU'e with Ciiptnin McDougall ap chairman, w hluli nai tarried, and T. H. LeVaquee and C. P. Bailey » ere added to the same. President Slmo'nds called attention to the present condition of the harbor and Invited" diioueslon. Captain HcDougall was tlrsl called upon. He said he hud just finished n chart of the dredged area of the harbor from 3,000 or more sounding*, actually made, and had found that there were spots all over the dredged area not more than twelve or tlilr- jeen feet and others that were as much as tuenty-slx feet deep, and called upon the residing supervisor of public Works, Mi. Wells, w ho wsb present, to explain this gieat difference. Mr. Wells explained that the ipote were caused 6y tho large class of pro¬ pellers now coming to the port for which, the harbor was too shallow; that they won often run nground sofnewhereand in endeav¬ oring to get off would w.ork their screws so violently that, situated as they vverf, within a font or so of tliS bottom, they would tear holes sometimes to the depth the captain hart-mentioned. Cnptaln McDougall asked If thlscondition of affairs was always to continue, or if there could not be a system of floats liseri, as has heen done at the Sault, to show the shallow spots so that they may be removed. iMr.-Welli replied • "There Is no way to prevent the formation of humps such as have been mentioned except Uiediedgingof tin1 harbor to such n depth that the wheels of hea\ lly h\den propellers, In wot king their »ay to the docks, will not dhturb the bot¬ tom." While Captain McDougall hud no direct reply to this tie seemed to think Ihut these humps, ought not to be and suggested that Major Allen, the chief of en¬ gineers at St. PjiuI, might publish his pro¬ posals for bids for the Wedging of Dulnth imrbor in some' Dulnth oi lake pnpir. In- stent! ot exclusively in an Inland (St. Paul) paper so us to Invite competition, nnd thought this might havera tendency toward levelling the humps Mr. Wells said he saw no objettioruto ad¬ vertising hi Dulnth papers lor bids for dredging. » Mr. Johnson then BBked why the board of engineers, having In charge the Impiove- tnent of Duluth harbor, always found Jt nec- e««nry to recommend thesamoappioprlatlnu for tho hurbm of Sjipoiloi 'i» for that of Du lotli. He understood that these recomnipji- iliitlons were supposed to b« made for the Interests of cotniiierco, nnd he did not see » hy our chlel of englnoors slioujcl, j o ir nftoi JMr, recommend the s.mio amount foi »harbor that has no commerce to spejik of •s lor one that hn« a large commerce. Mr Mitchell, of the Tribune, then took "P tills, cudgel and Jald about him with It "nnWlfully, Mr.5D. S. Cash followed with a brilliant speech on the subjeot, ihow- ng plainly the disci inilimtlon against Du- uih and tile lamenesi of our past action In he matter of harbor Impiovcments.'
