After the first contract on the
I ss was finished in 1879 tbe
g; ernment ran the job. Sorae-
a nes congress would forget to ap-
!• xpriate money and a couple of j
y irs mi^ht [ass whtsi little or no
v, -rk was done, but on the whole
» vent forward -m«¥*thly enough.
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. N. limy oft
S-n Francisco, on a contract
fer completion of the locks en-
t ed into in December. 1893.
s Sey pushed things along and
». re able to turn the finished job
over to the United States govern-
rr °nt on November S, 1896, just
19 years after the woik first was
,’ arted. It is well to bear this in
»rind when people talk about early
< aapletion of the Bonneville dam.
. fbe government works slow but
'exceedingly well.
During the past few months
car «rectors h-»ve b^ev emphryed
L i blasting roc’ s from the river. A
let of rocks w?re taken from the
r* annel when the locks were be
ing constructed, but they were
t. ken out alxwit a mile- and a half
<1 wn stream, at what is known as
Umatilla Rock , and at the lower
4-->d of Bradford island. 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

lock weighing 150 pounds fell

** 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.
