Navigation May Soon B Carried on
Nearly All th Tear.
Corvallia Improvement of the upper
Willamette was discussed her today
bv David Ii. Ogden, engineer in charge
of the Willamette expenditure, and
member of the Citiwns League. Th
snagboat Mathloma baa been working
on the upper river for two weeks and
is to continue in the vicinity of Cor-
valli throughout the coming week.
The famous cut-off. where the Wil
lamette has broken through a new chan
nel and reduced a SH mile stretch to
less than a iiiile by leaving a circuitous
route for a direct one, haa been prac
tically cleared of snags, which had been
a menace to navigation, oimuar wora.
ia to lie done in other directions.
The main topic, however, of the con
ference between Mr. Ogden and the cit
izens was the chanrs of an all-year nav
igatisn by boat to Corvallia. Plani
with this end in view are being worked
to bv the cnifineers. Their recommen
dations for appropriations cover needs
in this particular. For two years the
work has been so carried on. Mr. Og
den thinks that in soother two years
the plan will be consummated and if
navigation be not acnieveo mrougnoui
tho summer, it will at least be so bet
tered that there will be but a very short
imriod of inactivity. Local citizens
are .much encouraged by the attitude of
the engineering people, and are prepar
ing to cooperate fully.

phone from Blrney. A troop ot th
Tenth Cavalry rounded np and at
tempted to drive oft 80 head of ponlea
being grazed by the fugitive Indiana.
The hcrdtr sent the alarm to th
main band. A the aoldler were driv
ing the ponle away a band of 100
buck came riding up, and, circling the
troop, succeeded in atampeding the
ponies and recovered all but five,
which were shot by the toldler.
The Indiana did not fire, but their
determined rescue ot their ponlea in
dicate their temper. The soldier
felt themselves unable to cope with
the force and the shot killing the anl
mala were fired as the herd waa being
driven away.
The Indian are outwitting th
troop now In the field. A troop of
tne Tenth Cavalry marched all Tues
day night In hope of capturing a email
band of Utes on Bitter Creek, arriv
ing there only to find the band bad
moved. Later a acout reported th

then made a forced march to Powder
river.
Soldiers are complaining bitterly
against the action of tne Indian
scouts, American Horse. Women'
Dress and White Cow Bull, employed
by the government, The Indiana pro
fed, not to know the country, but the
belief Is growing that they are pur
posely leading the troop in a fruitless
search In order to gain time.
Another detachment of the Tenth
Cavalry met and turned back a email
band of Cheyenne under Chief Two
Face. He said they were hunting and
they were started toward the reserva
tion. The band of a hundred Crows
under Sweet Mouth, which hurriedly
left Sheridan Monday night, was also
met and turned back by the Tenth
Cavalry.
The Indians are making forced
marches at night to elude the soldiers,
and, owing to the poor work or treach
ery of the scouts, the soldiers are un
able to keep track or them.
Railroad men running Into Sheridan
tonight report having passed a band
ot a hundred Sioux marching south
east within 50 miles weat ot Sheridan.
Neither Indiana nor troops have ar
rived at Birney.
The settlers are fearful of a Chey
enne uprising It the Utes reach the
reservation border near Asnland.
