ASKED To
IMPROVE
THE SNAKE

~ uited Press Leased Wire!
Lewiston, Idaho, Aug 91.-A
movement to petition the government
TO improve the channel of the Snake
river five miles west of Riparia is
being started here.
The action is the result of failure
on the part of the local river naviga-
ton company to operate its boats be-
tween Lewiston and Cello owing to
low water in the river channel. The
failure of the line TO run vessels at
this time has caused heavy loss to
ranchers who have grain ready to
move but cannot secure transporta-
tion facilities.

There is an old debate as to whether
