Doubled appropriation by the federal government for channel dredging this summer means a channel of 75 feet width and two and one-half to three and one-half foot-depth from Salem to Oregon Cty, the chamber was told, mak- ng It possible for river boats at the period of lowest water to con tinue their hauling of freight to and from oPrtland. Dai Held Need . Castaln Edmund Levy of the federal corps of engineers told the busnesa men that Salem should provide federal engineers with data covering the possible trade to be derived from th Sa lem territory. These figures woukl be of great assistance to the government. In determining whether channel expendtures were Justified by the possible rev enues to b received from terri tory tributary to the river. E. B. Thomson, for many years engineer for the govenmnt on th Willamette river and In charge of much of th dredging there. told some of the hostory of Wil lamette river improvements, pointing out the difficulties en countered in th scouring of th stream when Improper wing dams wer bollt. Experience has shown that wing dams built on an angle with the channel rather than dl rectly opposite It, give the most beneficial results. Dredging Starts This Summer Thompson said dredging would be carried on this year at Snaggy Bend and at Windsor's Island, two sites which have been difficult to navigate in recent -summers. He said construction of dikes wa contemplated at four places, up per and lower Snaggy Bend, El drlge's slough and at the present location of the Weston dike. Thompson urged that the name of Willamette river be advertised by having It incorporated Into products raised In this territory. Having such a name on products would exploit the river and in directly lead to more traffic In the opinion of Thompson. Better channels, more boats and more adequate terminals are the outstanding need for the devel- .Diigh in the 154 to Like Men Have Never Known the creation of REO, World-Leader in High Speed, Low Upkeep Commercial Transportation!
