During the high water season dangerons eddies are formed Immediately below them. If a vessel should get ctaight at either of these places it would be whirled and dashed about with such violence aa to prove disastrous. Mr. Ogden made the necessary prepa rations to have the rocks removed. A force of men was employed and the ob structions will be blasted out with powder. ... Recently the steamer Inmaha was wrecked In that vicinity and was a total loss. Since then the ranchers and miners along the river have had to do without steamboat service. A new ves sel, however. Is being built to be placed In commission there. She Is being built at Portland, but will probably not be completed before spring. In the meantime Mr. Ogden says It Is the Intention to put the channel in good shape and keep It that way.
