Having a little leisure Saturday we took
a trip a few miles up the river where the
government is spending about $8000 in con
. structing a revetment. At this point there
Is a large bend ol the river, a low bank, and
a swift current. Coupled with this is the
easily eroded nature of the land, so that
the river with everv freshet is rapidly cut
ting a new bed. If not remedied navigation
would soon be impossible and Corvallis
would be about a mile and one-half from the
the river. Like other government work this
is being done by contract. The brush is
delivered on the bank, we found by inquiry,
for 1.49 per cord; piling for 2 cents per
foot, linear measure; and the rock for 72
cents per ton. These rates are lower than
are usual with such contracts. L. M. L.
