Old settlers tell us that with tho boutn a id pilots of those days upsT river trallio was suo ce-sfully turned on, and was only din continued after the railroad wan built iH cauno the amount ol ireigiu men iu be handled wa too small to supply both railroad and boats. Of late years, owing to the Increase In freight traffic un, I i l,o hiuh rates charged by the Southern Paoiflc, attempt have again been made to run boats ou the upper river, but without satisfactory result, the steamer Eugene being the only host which ha made any number of trips to thi city, and she has proven to be too large a boat fr tliesliallow rillles und rapid current of the UpH,-r Willamette. However, (Tid. Hatch, of the gov ernment snug "ut Corvallis, Capt. I-uactiray, of this city, aud other pi act leal river men believe and assert that a I mat can bo built which will successfully navigate the water be tween here and CorvulliH. The busi ness men of Eugene ure anxious for a river service und assure a liberal and paying patronage to a boat which w ill niake regular trip to this city. Act ing upon the demand for such a boat, Capt. dray, after consulting a number of the business men of this city, hs started a subscription piir, w itli the object In view of organizing a stock C'liiipanvJ.o build a boat to operate on the Willamette between Kugene and Portland. " The plans are not entirely formulat ed yet, but it is proposed to build a laiat about L'J feet U-iihl by R'O feet ill length, drawing, with wkmI and wu tor, 14 or l i inches, I possibly lens , of water, and witli a carrying capacity of about 7 i tons. The bout will Is- first dims iu every particular. She will be built very light hut will have powerful machinery placed aboard toeiuiblu her to imcend'the swiUc-l rapids, f ic will be bu ill here, almost wholly by Ku ireno workmen. The engines and ma chinery will U- built at the Kugene fouudiy and machine shops. Ship curM'iiter w ill perhaps Ihj employed but Ihe bulk of the work will bo T formed by resident workmen. The amount r. iiired to build the boat Is in the neighborhood ufjlUOU. (iftliis sum fl'iim has already been subscribed, without any ellort ou tho part of the promoters of the enterprise to secure it. If the re. Hired amount in secured the boat w ill be built during the sum mer month und w ill lie in readiness for sci vice by the time tl:3ftll rains mine the river to a boating stage. The advantages of such a boat are manifold. It wouM furnish, employ ment for workmen und a home indus try while under way of const ruction, nearly the whole of jlnon cost price be ing expended here, and when cotiiplet ed and put ill successful operation would greatly cheapen fruicht rates between het'eund Portland Cupt. dray is a practical ste.nnboat man, having taken out his first license in iNd I'vping it rclicwid Up to lsMi, spending in all about IS yearn in the service on the .Mississippi anil trib utaries, lie ban been over the Will amette and is coiilldciil that w itli im provements, such us w ing damn, etc., in an ordinary year such a taint as they propose to build can run Ihe year uroiiiid. Willi the riser in its present condition it could run N or 0 month during the year. It might lie well to mention here that unless u boat is se cured to run on the upper river the ap propriation for the same will undoubt edly be lost. Capt. Cray, who has himself headed tho lint witli a liberal sum, thinks no trouble w ill bo experienced in raining the necessary amount. I he books are now open for Hiibnc-'ptlon ut his store on Ninth street, '. hen the amount is r,'seil, a stoeU. "company w ill Isj iucor iioVateil rji the work of construction U'gun Immediately.
