Owing to uncertain floor con ditions on the Willamette, con struction work on the new water course will not begin before sum mer unless present plans are rad ically changed, according to a statement made last night by C. H. Koppe of the Eugene Woolen mill, which, together with the Eugene Excelsior mill, controls the race. High water recently tore out a retaining wall near the source of the rnillrace, permitting water to pour back into the river short ly after it enters the flume. Should the wall be rebuilt now, the race would have to be drained later before construction work could begin, so the bed will re main dry until projected work is completed. Ground Breaking “Ground breaking should start by July 1,” said Mr. Koppe. Present schedules call for com pletion of principal work before beginning of fall term.
