A TRIP TO THE DALLES RAPiDS.
A Distinguished Party Views the Place
or the Proposed Improvement--Mr.
Daj Makes a Favorable Br part. '"
As mentioned in yesterday's Chroni
cle Mr. I. N. Day of Cascade Locks was
in The Dalles on a tour of investigation
of the project to improve navigation at
the rapids between here and Celilo. Jn
company with Congressman W. R.
Ellis, who happened m the city. 8. L.
Brooks, president of the D. P. & A. N.
Co., E. M. Aldrich, master mechanic at
the Locks, and Sheriff Driver, Mr. Day
went as far as Celilo, and thoroughly ex
amined the ground where the improve
ments are to be made. i
The party left the city about 9 a. m.,
with a spirited team of horses, and soon
were enveloped in a blinding cloud of
sand. The day was very unpleasant,
and the wind was blowing at a high rate
during the whole trip. The gentlemen
first drove as far as the mess house, and
there looked at the river where it pours
through the - narrow canyon to which
the early French explorers gave the
name la dalles. Through a chasm in
the solid basalt the whole current of the
Columbia is gathered into a compass
across which a stone could easily be
thrown. The waters boil and seethe as
they dash against the rocky cliffs, while
the -quiet of the air amid' the silent
mountains still makes good Bryant's
famous lines, so often quoted, "Where
rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound
save its own dashing."
Mr. ' Day, whose quick eyes grasped
everj feature of the situation, called the
attention of the party to a result of nature
which has a great deal to do with the
present project on hand. Along side of
the main channel is another, rocky
chasm, which' at low water is perfectly
dry. This huge rift in the rocks is in
exactly the right position to be used as
a canal, and Mr. Day explained that one
of the hardest features could be done
away with by converting this gift of
Nature into a passage for boats. All the
work necessary for each an end would
be to smooth the jutting corners of rocks
along the sides and blast the chasm
deeper; put in some gates, and "there,
gentlemen, is your canal." ' The length
of this portion of the work would be
about one-half a' mile, and the cost of
remodeling would be nothing like the
expense of a ship railway.! ' The gentle
men . of the party all expressed them
selves as being struck with the idea of
making Nature do so much work in
counteracting some of . her wild ca
prices.
From the mess house the party re
turned to Mr. Seufert's, and there Mr.
Ellis, who wished to take local train for
Portland,' left them and 'returned to
town. The remainder of the party took
the road that leads to Celilo. ' From the
high hill back of this historic and once
thriving spot a splendid yiew could be
obtained of the Turn water rapida. The
whole1 river- lay before the eye, and all
Its imperfections and perversions from a
smoothly flowing stream- were easily
discernible. Just below Celilo the fall

very sadden and permpitous, and a
great' deal of woik will have to be done
to overcome the difficulty. At this
point there is nothing like the phenome
non spoken of further down the river,
and the canal would have to be blasted
out of the solid rock. '
Mr. Day is. of . the opinion that the
ship canal. is preferable to a boat rail
way, and can be built for about one-half
the cost as estimated - by the board of
government engineers. They reported
in the neighborhood of $4,000,000, and a
half, we will all admit, is a rather ma
terial redaction. , . ., ; .
Mr. Day returned home this morning,
and will, in a short time, send out, at
his own expense, a party of engineers,
who will survey the route as pointed out
yesterday and make a profile map.
The'gentlemen who accompanied Mr.
Day returned late in the- afternoon,
tired and dusty, but well satisfied in
knowing they had looked upon the place
of the -next great improvement of the
Columbia river. The time will not be
long delayed till work will be begun in
some way or other to remedy the river
between The Dalles and Celilo, and then
boats will pass unhindered 'to the sea.
