FRIDAY. NOV. 6. 1896 EASTERN OFFICE 230 to 234 Temple Court, N. Y. City. E. KATZ, Agent. HISTORY OF. THE WORK. The Telegram gives the following trief history of the building of the locks at the Cascades. The state ments are in the main correct, though Governor Moody, in his statement yesterday evening gives the credit of the first suggestion of the locks to General Grant : The proposition to build a canal - around the obstructions in the Col umbia river at the Cascades was first proposed by Colonel Michier in 1875. The following year the government made the first appropiiation of $90, 000 for the commencement of work on that important undertaking. The first plans of the engineers contem plated the construction of a timber crib breakwater structure, 7200 feet long, to, extend from the lower en trance of the canal for a distance of 5000 feet. The lift to the upper river through the canal was to be overcome by two locks each 250 feet by 46 feet in size and the guard gates of each to be 54 feet high. At the lime the first appropriation was made by congress, Colonel, then V. Major Wilson, of the United States engineers, was in charge of govern- ' inent works in this district, With h adquarters at Portland. Colonel Wilson proposed that the locks be placed on the Oregon side of the river, and after a careful examina tion by a board of engineers in 1877 Colonel Wilson's proposition -was ap proved, the boaid recommending, however, that the locks be increased to 300 feet in length by 50 feet in width. This board estimated the total cost of overcoming the obstructions at the Cascades to be $2,554,000. The same year on the recommenda tion of Colonel Wilson the width of the locks was increased from 50 to 70 feet. . . In the fall of 1878 Colonel Wilson was succeeded by Colonel Gillespie, and the active work of constructing the canal at the cascades was begun, the first contractors being Messrs. Ball fc Piatt of New York, who or $340,000 undertook to excavate. both for the locks and a certain part of the prism. In 1879 another board of engi- neers was convened, which 'recom mended an appropriation of $100,000 ' be made for improving .the river channel below the locks, which was done. . In October, 1881, Captain C.'F. Powell was assigned as superintend ing engineer in charge ot the work, he being succeeded in 1888Nby Major Handbury. In his first, annual re port Major Handbury invited atten tion to the meager appropriations that had been made for the work since its inceptionthe entire sum for the twelve years being but $1,142,- 500, or an average -of $95,000 per ye4r. During this year Major Hand bury succeeded iu having the con struction of the gates changed from - wood to steel. By 1890 there had been appropriated to the construction of the Cascade locks $1,880,000, and . it was estimated by- Major Hand bury that an additional $1,745,000 would be necessary to complete the work. In 1 892 the river and harbor act appropriated $326,250 for the locks and canal and a provision was made for the awarding of a contract for the completion of the enlire work. In the Jatter part of the year this con tract was awarded to Messrs. J. G. and I. N. Day oCSan Franciscy, they agreeing to complete the canal and locks according to 'specifications for $1,521,265. - . - Since that time Contractor Day, although perforce having their time occupied at (he Cascades in the greater measure, have proved them selves valuable adjuncts to Portland's prosperity and ' staunch citizens of Oregon. Both in publicvand private life, aside from the great work they are now bringing to completion, Messrs. Day have achieved promin ence in this , state, and, in fact, through the immensity of the work undertaken by them, throughout the union. Their contract provides for fur nishmg all the material of every kind and description required in the con struction of the canal and all the labor necessary for carrying the work to a successful completion as per the plans submitted by the engineer. November 15, 1893, Major James C. Post was ordered to the Pacific coast to succeed Major Handbury as engineer in charge of the, locks con struction, arriving barely in time to familiarize .himself with the work and save the lesult of twenty j'ears' labor with its attendant expenditures of money from destruction through the tremendous and unprecedented freshet in the Columbia of June, 1894. -Cati tn Tour checks All county warrants registered prior to July H, 1892, will be paid at my office.
