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
