Dredoe Will Not Go Up Rive.

The dredge boat Wallowa will not
% nm the river as contemplated last
week. Captain Winslow states that
the cause Of the change of program is
due to the rapid fall of the waters. At
the present stage the trip would be
too hazardous and should the boat
reach the upper points in safety fur
ther fall of the river might oraven ut its
returning until a higher stage, which
might not occur for some time. The
dredge boat will begin work To-Day on
the channel just above the hricge
where 1t will be engaged for two or
three days before going to Dry Gulch
on the lower river where considerable
work remains to be done. The cham
mel at many points below is 10 he clear
ed Of obstructions and 1t is expected
that the wallowa will be kept busy for
several months. Captain Winslow says
a new 11-foot rake has be", ordered
which Is five feet wider than the pres
ent one and 1t IL expectel 1t will ar
will be installed and used m the lower
river work. Considerable difficulty was
experienced in handling the boat last
winter while in operation owing to the
bow being inclined to swing around il
the stream, thus retarding the pro-
gress Of the work. To remedy this
matter a skag has been installed which
It Is thought will entirely overcome the
difficulty and facilitate the working
capacity Of the dredge. The crew of
the boat will consist Of nine men and
the boat will be taken to Dry Gusch as
soon as the new rake is put in place
Captain Winslow left yesterday tc

.f p = ~ "
}@ sVs WOOtOOO AsSa

A petition is being circulANed BY the
people Of the sand bar to have Shs roaA
opened. which a short time -, w..
fenced up by W. r. Kettenbach. when
the road was first closed the residsnts
affected appealed to the city council
and Street Commissioner Knight waes
ordered to remove the fence from tn
roadway. which he did. not howevef.
without protest from Mr. xattsn-
bach. Later. It seems. the Inattor was
adjusted between tho council ana M.
Kettenbach by tho latter aSSesang 70
donate a roadway around The fence
ana connecting with the old roa1
above. This has proven unsatisfactory
to the residents ana IN effort IL being
made to have the fence removed. The
petition states that the road has been
used as public highway Tor the last
25 or 80 years ana cannot be CLOSED
up. Furthermore they question Nr.
Kettenbach's right to the land he has
enclosed and claim he cannot produce
clear title to the property. The
tract Of land fanced II near the old
slaughter house where Mrs. Bowlin
has erected residence. II Is claimed
her building is over the meandering
line and Mr.. eKttenbach had no right
to establish a fence outside Of the gov
ernment survey line as has been done.
Mrs. Bowlin was absent from home
when the fencing was done. which en-
tirely encloses her property, leaving
her no outlet and the act has caused
considerable resentment not only on
the part Of Mrs. Bowlin but others
who believe TIE old established high
way should remain open.
Some of the people claim they have
lived on the sand bar for number
Of years and remained undisturbed un-
/ til within the last year or 40 when
different parties have been claiming
the property without being able to con-
vince the residents of their legal right
to the land. At any rate there seems
to be a cloud about the title and those
interested say they propose to hold on
nntil the matter is adjusted and BE-.
lieve they will establish their claim.
The electric line survey runs up the
river through the land In question
which greatly enhances It's value for
right of way purposes and the contest
between the contending parties will
he made more acute because Of this
fact.
