IDAHO RHs EIfS AND HARBORS
improvements on the Upper Snake
VIII BE Abandoned.

Washington, July u. ~ Captain Harry
Taylor corps of Engineers, L. S. A, has
submitted for the approval of the Secre-
tary Of war his report upon the river anG
| harbor improvements in Idaho of the last
fiscal year and recommendations for sim
liar work for the current year
III accordance with the recommends ion
Of Colonel G. H. Mendel who investi-
gated the Improvements in the upper
Snake river, Captain Taylor recommends
that tho work there be permanently
closed. The river bed is filled with rocks
and rapids and is itself Easaltic rock and
granite. The government spent nearly
$4,000 removing rocks and reefs from the
channel and inserting ringbolts and iron
posts for the convenience Of the boatmen.
This work las, however, proved unremu-
nerative and IS therefore permanently
closed the balance on hand being $500
Clearwater river = also obstructed by
numerous gravel bars and Shoals as well
as occasional rapids and boulders. Ap-
preparations asgregating $4,000 Were
made for the removal OF these obstruc-
tions, the estimated cost of which was
but 33442i. This work ceased June 80, 1884,
and it is considered unadvsable to pro
ceed with the work this year without fur
ther investigation. A survey of the CiS-
trict Will be made as soon as possible and
data collected i'll regards to the present
needs of the river and cost of improve
ment. The sum available for this purpose
is So, $50.
The Improvement of kootenai river in
Idaho will he begun during the present
summer. For 90 miles it is obstructed ty
