Chanoinne Dam to he Built This Year.

FTTSBURG, Pa, March S.-Major
w. H. Bixby, who has charge Of the
improvements of the Ohio river, has
advertised for bids for the building of
500 feet Of Chanoine dam at Dam No.
2, on the Ohio river, situated on the
Neville dsland side of the river, just
below Glenfield. The bids will be
opened April 10th, and work probably
will be commenced on the building of
1t before the summer months.
The dam will be / 600 feet in length
at that point, and the building Of 500
feet only represents half of the work
that is to be done before the lock and
dam is s~erviceable. The river will
have to be closed for a distance of 500
feet, but it will in no way interfere
with navigation, as the channel Of the
river is on the side that will not be
closed while this improvement is be-
ing made.
All Of the masonry work Of dams 2
and 4 is finished and the building of
the dams proper is all that is neces-

bill still continues to be much talked
Of by rivermen, but there are none so
bitter as the members and officers OF
the Ohio Valley Improvement Associa-
ton, and they all center their wrath
upon Senator Carter, Of Montana, who
talked the bill to death. This organi-
cation has been working for years to
get desired improvements made on the
Ohio river, and the things most desired
were embodied in that bill.
Secretary G. p. Wilson, Of the asso-
citation, after a carful consultation with
Major W. M. Bixby, Corps Of Engineers,
U. S. A., gives the following as a sum-
mary Of the effect of the defeat, or
n-onpassage Of the bill, and the exact
situation in which work now being
done and contemplated on the Ohio has
been left. And also just what will be
done during the coming year:
General work on the Ohio river be-
tween Pittsburg and Carlo, for the con-
duct Of which sufficient funds already
appropriated remain in hand, will en-
able the Engineer Department, in
charge Of the improvements, to carry
on It's routine work upon the river dur
ing the coming year without diminish
ed force.
The work Of dredging the channel,
being only partially provided for, the
funds in hand are not sufficient to meet
unforeseen emergency during the
coming year.
The work on dams No. 2 (Meni-
man's), No. 3 TRAP, No. 4 (Segion-
ville). No. 5 (Freedom), No. IS (Wheel-
ing) and No. 10 (Mariette), being pro-
vided for by sundry civil appropria-
lions, will be continued.
The work on dams Nc 6 (Merrill) will
be entirely suspended about June, after
present contract is completed, as funds
provided for in the bill for completion
will not become available.
The survey between Marietta and the
mouth Of the Big Miami will be con-
tinued.
The dam contemplated below Cincin-
natl can be definitely located, but
neither the purchase of sites, nor the
construction work can be commenced
until Congress has provided the funds,
which provision vas in the defeated
bill. The same is true of dams No. z
(Georgetown), No. s (East Liverpool),
No. II CSistersville) and No IA CPow-
hatan).
Work on the Licking river cannot
be undertaken, but in the bill 500, 900
was provided for the work. The clear
ing of distractions at the mouth will
be continued as 1t had been heretofore
provided for.
The snagboat service will be contin-
ued under special provisions made sew
eral years ago, which makes it indie
pendent of the River and Harbor bill.
The improvement OF the falls on the
Ohio can not be undertaken and must
wait for further action Of Congress.
The ice pier at Maysville, for which
the bill provided, must fail for the
present.
The association has not been dis
couraged and will undoubtedly gather
the best features of the last bill with
provisions for dams below GallipoIis
and Parkersburg, for the alienation
OF the Davis Island Dam, by lowering
the stills so that boats drawing 9 feet
Of water can pass it, and the compile
ton of the dam above the falls at
Louisville, and embody them in a new
bill to be presented to the next Con-
greSS.
