bids for River improvements.

The bids made and opened on the
20th of August for clearing rock from
the rivers, were as follows:
Wallamet river-J. b. Montgomery.
Sl9 per yard for Bissel's rock and sis
per yard for Doves rock; Trewavas &
Balantyne, s1l,50 per yard; Joseph
Paquet, $500 per yard; w. =. Hayden,
50 per yard.
Snake river-Paquet {; David e23
per yard; Trewavas 4 Ballantyne, s2I.-
55 per yard; j. b. Montgomery. l4.75
per yard; Geo. j. Ainsworth, $l3 per
yard.
The work on the Wallamctte was
awarded to Joseph Paquet, and the
work on the Snake river was awarded
to Geo. j. Ainsworth. In contrast with
the present prices, we give below what
has heretofore been paid:
1873 44-slO,OO0 for 200 yards and
s25 for each additional yard; 1875 &C.
S36 per yard; 1876 77--Umatilla rapids
S3l per yard; 1876 77--Owyhec rapids
$3G per yard, lS76.771--Squaly Hook
rapids, S23 per yard; lS76.77--pinc
Tree rapids, S34,775 per yard; lS7S--
Pine Tree and Five Mile rapids. $l3
per yard.
This it will be seen that the present
price is about one-half of the lowest OF
the former rates. At this price 1.53S
cubic yards can be removed with tho
$50, 0OO appropriation for Snake river
This according to report of what is
needed as work by Col. Wilson FOX 1877
removed from Five Mile rapids, $50
yards; from Three Island, 60 wards
from Fishhook, 500 yards; from Long,
crossing, 200; and from Pine Tree. G50
leaving only go yards not paid for.
The other improvements reported
I necessary are from Monumental rock
$50 yards; from False paouse, l5v
yards; from Palouse, 500 yards; from
Texas, 700 yards; leaving not provided
for, 400 yards. This we understand
the .. S. n. Company propose to re.
move, whether or not further appro
| priation be made and when this is dlne
continuous nay igation Of the Snake tt
Lewiston viii be secured for steamers o
carrying capacity suited 10 the wants o
our commerce. It is probable that in
stead Of removing all the rock in the
order we have indicated, the chief cnei
noer will direct the most conspciou
rocks in the different rapids to be re-
moved with the appropriation now mad,
