After the first contract on the I ss was finished in 1879 tbe g; ernment ran the job.

An occasional small contract *• 'S awarded, but the government i . ’ant direct suftervision over I- tiding the hicks, it employed (1 ' stone masons and other work- ir.;n. That went on until Febru­ ary, 1893, when the government tt -ned over the construction - work to J. G. and 1.

The con- t act for that job was held by David Chalmers and William E. I'fdmes of Portland in 1881. While directing the blasting at I'tat time Capt. P. M. Price was c*ruck by a piece of flying rock. His leg was broken and his ankle l.adly bruised. And later about a dozen Chinamen employed on the tiasting job were drowned when a fcoat in which they were returning to shore was overturned in the river. In March, 1887, an electrical F ast of eight holes was fired at • »on. It was a heavy charge and a lock weighing 150 pounds fell t' »rough the roof of the house o c-1 copied by Thomas Coyle, janitor 1 ** the locks, killing his 3-year-old daughter. Delay in getting the locks r amed as promptly as the war department anticipated caused the s’ate to build a portage railroad through the reservation in 1891. ■A large wharf boat was built at * - LOCAL PHONE 151 ♦be lower end of the uncompleted Canal, with a steep incline leading 11 i i *' |V
