Corvallis in Danger.
From the Te'ogram :
D. U. Ogden, usliUnt United HUto
engineer, will leave tor Corvallis tomor
row, to inspect the work being done by
the government snagboat Mathloma,
above that town.
Tho work consiata of 800 feot of revet
ment which is being built to keep Cor
vallis from being left an Inland town.
Juat above Corvallis, the river make a
aharp bend to the weet toward Corvallia,
and as soon as !the city is passed turn
sharply toward the east, leaving a pen
inaufa opposite the city. 'In time of high
water it is the tendency of the bulk of
the stream to flow acroe the peninsula
instead of around it. and it the govern
ment engineers bad not Interplead, it
would have been a queetion of but a
bort time only until the rlv.r would
have cut through here and left Corvallia
out in the cold. In addition, it would
h-.ve apoilod the river channel by spread
ing over greater apace.
Thia was .ne of the earl est works un
dertaken by the government, and is one
of the moat necrsnary. Tbeie is a fall of
200 feet in the Willamette between Eu
gene and Corvallis, which is tour times
aa great aa the fU in the whole distance
between Corvallia and Portland. It is
necessary, in order to keep tbe channel
from spreading out.not to allow the river
to become any ahorter, a the fall for a
given distance would thus be increased.
