River Traffic Above Salem.

The slight rise of the river yester-
day enabled the steamer Oregona to
make the run to Buena Vista, taking
on 1000 sacks of wheat at that place
and 400 sacks of flour at Sidney. The
Oregona was the last boat to make
the upper river last season and is the
first to make it this season. This was
possible, owing to her light draft and
the skillful navigation of Captain
Rabbie, her commander. The captain
says that If the river continues to
raise at its present rate he will be able
to run to Corvallis tomorrow.-Salem
