upper Columbian river in Eastern
Washington, and others acquainted
with the stream, express grave
doubts of its ever becoming a safe
and certain highway, although en-
thusiastic residents of that region

Okanogan river are constantly meet
ing with mishaps, owing to the diff
culties of navigation. Three were
laid up in one week last month.
