Major Morrow Orders Removal
of Boulders From, Snake
Water Getting Too Low for
Freight Steamers.
Major Jay J. Morrow, corps of engi
neers, U. 8. A., has given orders for the
United States steamer Wallowa, which
has been tied up for the last two months
or so, to begin work again next Monday
morning, the first work , planned being
at Qorea Dread on the Snake river,
.where she will blast out several bould
trs the water now being at a low
nough stag to do the work.
The present stage of water above low
water Is three feet and is at ft point
where ihs steamer ran begin to work
with good effeot In the channel. The
water, however, la getting too low for
freight ateamera to run much longer
mad when she comes down to Celllo
from Lewiston Sunday the .Open River
Transportation company's ateamer Twin
Cities will be tied up for the low water
period, which will probably last until
October. ''
Sfnst Take Soat Off.
On her last trip down the Twin Cities
brought 2000 sacks of barley, the first
f the new season crop to come down,
and on her Sunday trip she will also
have a large amount of the grain. Cap
tain Buchanan said yesterday afternoon
"that while the company did not like to
take the ateamer off and the Lewiston
people are also against it. the low atage
of the water would make It impossible
to make another trip as by the time
that she reached Celilo and discharged
and started up the river again the river
would be at a stage of two feet and
' while the boat could go through aha
ould not carry enough cargo to make it
, pay.. ; , -
- After completing her work at Gore's
Dread so named. It Is said, because of
the dread with which a certain old
steamboat captain of former days named
Gore always made the passage of the
rapids which la about 16 miles below
Rlparla, aha will work up toward the
latter place through the False Palouse
rapids and Palouse Rapids, widening the
channel In both places. The work will
consist principally of bleating out reef
rock and will take three or four months
to do. i" v; ''
I Channel Scours Toot.
'The ateamer Umatilla came down the
Snake river last Monday and examined
the Long Crossing bar, about half way
between Rlparla. and the mouth of the
river, and said to be the ahoalest place
on the river - below Lewiston. The
United States engineers built a rock
dam there last year and in making the
examination- the Umatilla found that the
channel over the shoal had scoured from
a foot to a foot and a half. The en
gineers want two more feet over the
bar and If they do not get It next year
with the dam the government will dig
it out ' It is said that there have-been
times during the low water stage, be
fore the dam was built, when the bar
could be walked across with ease.
What makes the work of the engineers
ao difficult In ' channel work on the
Bnake river la the fall, there being an
average fall of 1 1-10 feet In a mile
from Rlparla to the mouth. In the
lirst nine miles from that place there
is a fall of 40 feet or an average of i
feet in a mile, thla stretch Including
the Texas, Palouae and Hunter's rapids
and Skiff bar.
ST. JOHNS DOCK USELESS
IUvermen Advocate Better Facllltiet
for Portland Munlclpa.1 Wharf.
- Waterfront men are - beginning to
. question each other in regard to the
municipal dock that Portland proposes
to build and ask each other whether the
dock commission will build auch another
one as the municipal dock at St Johns,
where practically the only uae to which
. the Wharf la said to be put Is for a
.tying up place for the little river
, steamer Bacajawea, which lies there at
night
. In speaking of the matter one river
man said that the St Johns wharf is a
fine structure, probably the best on the
.river, but it is of practically no use
whatever in spite of the fact that there
is a great depth of water before it, as
there la no land aide connection. There
la a wagon road to the dock, but of rail

trip, and It Is expected that .he will
apend a week or 10 daya with friends In

OPIUM IS SEIZED
Customs Inspectors Get Six Cans
From Steamer Homeric.
Customs inspectors In charge of Chief
Inspector J. M. Glesy yesterday after- ;
noon seised six cans of opium, valued ,
at about $800, on the Bank line steamer j
Kumerlc. The opium was found con- :
eealed oyer the door of the forecastle, f
where it had been secreted by the Chi- I
nese crew. Only a few days ago one
of the - sailors named Ling Fook was I
captured while trying to smuggle four j
cana of the "dope" ashore. It is thought
that there may possibly be more of the
poppy product aboard the vessel, which
is In from the orient by way of Puget
Bound ports.
