8TEAM OS TUB UPPER SNAKE
RlVER. ,
A correspondent of th Idaho Statesman,
writing from Boite Berry. May 16th, says : .
Thai' first link in tbT chain of steam com-
rafinication,; to be made continuous at no
istnnt day between Suit Lake and the Co
lumbia river, was welded to-day. The new
steamer Shothone, of the O. S. N. Company,
ut on steim yesicrday and ran irom this
place up to the Owyhee Ferry, a distance of
forty-five miles. It being late in the after
noon when she started,. Captain. My rick l-id
over at- dark last night and' ran up to the
Ferry this morning, arriving at ten o'clock,
in nine and a halt hours' running time with
fifty pounds of steam. This was the first
time her lines were let go, and she behaved
n a manner to reflect credit upon builders
and olbcers. The boat has been built under
isadvaptages, pariicularly. in getting her
machinery in. order, every pieee of which
had. to be brought fiom the shops on the
Columbia.. Sho-daws light about twenty
uches water and is of capacity to cairy one
undred and seventy-live tons.
Anticipating tue nrrival ot tue boat at the
Owyhee Ferry, a small party of gentlemen
from. Ruby City, and another from' Boise
City, camo over on the .stage this morning
ust in time tor bear the music of the steam
whistle reverberate for the fust time along
the sage brush solitudes -of the Snake. It
was pleasant music to tne ears ol us who
have for two years heard no- other but the
wboa-haw drivers whip, or lho Jehu's horn.
Fir.-t taking a good dinner at the bospitablH
invitation of Captain Myrickr we started
down the river at half past one o'clock,
running down to the Boise Ferry in five
hours, including, tim-e to wood and othci
delays. The-wind several times blew a crale
as it generally does on the Snake and (Jolum-
la. The boat being entirely light it was
illicult to keep her bead to the wind. Two
or three times it turned her complete y round
in spHe of helm nnd steam.
The banks of the Snake are nearly level
full, and. the, current strong, but there ar-e
no rapids of any consequence in tin part of
the river, and but few dangerous rocks to be
bserved at the present stage of. water.
here is no better water to navigate-in west
ern rivers ijinn ihU portion of the Snake ;
ow it is above and below remains to be
tried. To morrow we start down the river
to Old's Ferry. ,
