UMATILLA PLANS BIG OPEN RIVER FETE ON FOURTH ENGINEER ROBINS MAKES SEC- OND REPORT ON RIVER WORK Open River Methods of Channel Im provement Between Umatilla and Snake Not Adequate. A second report on the proposed improvement of the Columbia and Snake rivers for navigation has been made by Colonel T. M. Robins, United States division engineer, pur suant to resolutions by committees of the house of representatives and United States senate. Colonel Rob ins announced Tuesday of this week in a public notice. He recommended that construc tion of locks and dams above Uma- tilla. Ore., be deferred until the benefits of such improvement would be commensurate with the cost, he estimates at $70,000,000. This report,” he said, “finds that improvement of the Columbia river between Umatilla and the mouth of the Snake river, and of the Snake river below Lewiston, by open river methods will not provide an ade quate channel at reasonable cost. Through commercial navigation to Snake river points is dependent on construction of a lock and dam on the Columbia river at Umatilla rap ide and a series of locks and dams on the Snake river. “The estimated cost of this slack water improvement is $70,000,000 for new work and $400,000 per an num for maintenance. Construction of any of the locks and dams in volved In such improvement does not appear to be economically justified at this time. However, it is believed that comprehensive slack water im provement of the waterways in ques tion will some day be necessary and that, in the meantime, no further open river work should be done above Umatilla. "Slack water Improvement, when undertaken, should be progressive, beginning downstream by construc tion of a lock and dam at Umatilla rapids with a pool elevation of 310.5 feet above sea level. The estimated cost of this lock and dam is $23,240. 000 for new work and $75,000 per annum for maintenance. “In accordance with the forego ing, the report in question recom mends modification of existing pro jects for the Columbia river between Umatilla and the mouth of the Snake, and for the Snake river be low Lewiston, so as to provide for discontinuance of open river work and eventual step-by-step slack wat er improvement as outlined above, but that construction of any locks and dams be deferred until the bene fits to be expected therefrom are commensurate with the cost.” The notice says that anyone de siring to appeal from the conclusion of the report may present his view to the board of engineers for rivers and harbors, Washington, D. C. Tonsil Clinic Announced. Dr. A. W. Christopherson, city health officer, announces a tonsil clinic to be held at his office during the week of July 1 to 6, inclusive, excluding the holiday.
