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. A bar
