He was accompanied by ( ai Waild, of (be steamer liugeue, who Is lumiliar with every turn of (he stream, aud every shoal, tilllo and sandbar, from Poltlaud to (he c xlrvmo head of navigation. From Eugene to Harris burg the trip was made ilia small Ismt. "I tisik Captain Waud along with ' me," said t iiptaiu Rockwell, "lor the n-itsoti (hat I did not wish lo get lost.

Among (huso most c xntIc hctsl, the xTinuuciit improvement of Ihu ups-r Willamette is considered all impracticable enitl nocring feat to accomplish. Tempo rary Improvement at Isst Is all that can Isj hoS'd for, It is claimed. A gentleman who ha bud a long mid ih'ImiuuI experleins' with thu mutter said to a riMMirter tisluy: "What we nts'd llrst of all things is a stable river; or, morn esiieclully sis uk iug, more water during certain seasons of (he year. 1 here I not a more ca pricious stream of it size in the world tliuii the beautiful Willamette.

During the past 11 of 20 year a great many wiugdum have 1st-n built along the channel; none of them have Is-en of s-rmaiient service. Thoutt that were constructed one year and Improved the channel, would, pmlstbly, the very next year Is- a serious obstruction, and 1st condemned and swore at by pilot and river men gunerally. In some case the current now cut right through this-e old wingdams built year ago, ami of oouran they become serious obstacle. Home year ago a wlngdaui wa constructed at (he mouth of the Clackamas, Just Isdow Oregon City. Afterwards, It Ist-auie such an olmtruclloii to navigation that It hail to Im blown up ami removed. Every pilot and ateamlsiater knows that the channel I constantly chang ing, and is not the same for two year In aucccsMlnu. "All that the government can hope to accomplish, iu my Judgment, I to eflect teuisirary relief to navigation. Experienced engliHs-rs am tif tlie opin ion that work tloiie at certain point, and at certain tlmisi will be of much advantage during the low stages,. For nine month la the year I behove Ismt may Iss able to run regularly; but there Is not Btillli leiit water for all the year round navigation."
