Freewater, Mar. 26.-over SlOVo
has been subscribed by the ranchers
along the Walla Walla river In this
vicinity for the purpose OF repairing
the levee to keep future floods from
washing the lands out as has been
done by the late floods. 1t will re-
ouire about $4,000 to have the work
properly done, and 1t is understood
that the money can easily be raised.
The river bed is gradually raising
by the accumulation of rocks and
dirt brought down from the noun
tains during the spring freshets, and
is now higher than the surrounding
land. The lands Of the farmers along
the river are being gradually wash
ed out, and 1t is necessary that some
thing be done. The river bottom will
be cleared for distance OF about a
mile and a quarter, and a high bank
will be made on the side Of the river
for protection.
