Is the Snake Nayigable i?

On the 2lst inst. ut an early hour the
steamer Norma, Capt. Miller, command
ing, left the Huntington landing and
started down Snake river for Little Bar
and the great Seven Devils miles. This
is the trial trip Of the steamer. upon the
success or failure of which depends
much that is vastly important to the
owners of the boat, the town of Hunt
ington and to thousands of people who
are anxiously awaiting an opportunity |
to get into the Seven Devils country.
That the Norma will be successful in |
plying the waters of the Snake, we
have always had full confidence, and
we feel more certain than ever that
Captain Miller will make the trip
without accident and the success of
the steamboat enterprise is assured.
The Devils Gate, two miles below
Huntington landing Bay Horse rapids
and Blacksmith point are the most
dangerous places, so considered by
CAPTAIN Miller, on the route Of the
steamer, and if no serious trouble has
occurred, or does occur on the return
trip tomorrow. the route via Hunting
ton and Snake river will be the only
recognized, the nearest and the best
route to the mines. Rival towns will
give us the "horse laugh if the Norma
fails and we will have to bear up
as best we can. But let success at
tend the Norma and Huntington and
The Herald will extend the sincerest
sympathy to our weeping neighbors
and shed tears (dry ones) in quantities
to suit.
