WILLAMETTE IS AT
Low WATER MARK
Light Snowfall and Early Spring Causes
River to Reach Low Stage Consider
ably Earlier Than Usual.

On account of tae fact that there has
been practically no snow in the noun
tains, the annual rise of the William
ette river has not materialized this
summer. At present the river stage is
at one tenth of foot above low water
mark with steady fall of about n
tenth of foot per day. The records
show that for July, 1913, the river stood
3.4 feet higher than it does this year on
July 9.
The average low water mark for tho
river is 4 feet below low water. 1t
is expected that tae low water mark
will be reached in short time, as the
supply of water is running short in the
mountains. Usually the winter piles
up large amount of snow and in the
late spring and early summer it melts.
There is little traffic moving up OF
down the river at present, according to
statement of G. e. Graham, agent, as
it is now Just between the shipping sea
sons. II is too early for the new crops
and too late for the early crops At
present a small amount of hay is being
shipped. The cargOes from down tho
river consist of general merchandise
Tiis season an exceptional amount Of
sugar has come up the river.
Only one boat, the Orcgona, is now
plying between Salem and Portland. It
goes down river Mondays Wednesdays
and Fridays and returns on the other
week days. A noteworthy fact concern
ing the Oreg1na is that il is the lightest
draft river steamer in the world for
its size. 1t was built in 1904 and has
been ovcrhaled since then. At the
time it was launched it drew inches
of water It is ~ feet wide an | 30 feet
long and has net tonnage of 365 tons
1t is because of its peculiar plans
and light construction materials that
gives the Oregona its light draft. The
boat with drawings was pictured in
Popular Mechanics about year ago.
