In speaking of the threatened

aid states that Capt. Langfltt, U.

needs of Oregon rivers and harbors
for this year, Capt. Langfitt asked
for $4,000 for the upper William
cite and YamhilI rivers. This
estimate appears in his report to

little assistance from the govern
ment engineers in averting the
danger that threatens her by the
cutting Of a new channel.
