SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1925 AGROUND ICE With the Northwestern, river steamer which has operuteu be- twe?n Salem and Portland since the first of the year, etill at Tomp- Kina i-anmng, iu miles below Sa lem, having run a sr round there Sunday vhila on Its way up the river, speculation Is rifle on the waterfront as to how much lower the river level can get and stili permit the boat to run. The North western ran aground Sunday evening while attempting to negotiate the rapids, which hare become shallow due to the steady drop of the river level. The situation at Tomp&ins .Landing was further complicated by the presence of a number of stumps on the river bottom. It is believed that wita the stumps out, carefu! navigating will bring the boat through. Offiicals of the local company which operates tbe boat state that it draws 3 feet of water when loaded, and that the most shallow places on the river between Salem and Portland are now a full 6 feet deep. The offi cial government report for the river at Salem, Friday, wag .3 of a foot above normal and dropping steadily but slowly. The river level held between 2 and 3 feet be low normal through most of last summer, considered an unusually dry season. The Northwestern was success fully taken oft the bar Wedsea day night. It has been kept at Tompkins Landing since that time, its crew pulling stumps out of the river channel to make the stream navigable at that point. Its steam capstain has been broken. Local rivernieu nold tbe opin ion that there will be plenty of water In the river channel throughout the summer, so far ue mere quuuttiy is concerned. The difficulty is that the water spreads out, lecoming shallow, at some pointc, and describes wide, diffi cult loops at other points, they stau. The shallow burs must be dredged, and the other difficult places navigated with the greatest skill, they state. In several piacm snags and stumps must be blasted and pulled from the bottom of the 6 t renin. The Monteccllo, government dredge, has been working on the channel since early spring.
