Celilo Canal Lock Obstacle Plans and Delays
Obstructions to finishing the Celilo canal include the need for a heavy bottom lock or a $60,000 lock to withstand 500 pounds per square foot of water pressure. Col Roessler proposes plans to Washington, with Congress consent in doubt. Quicksand beneath the granite wall may force sloping riprapped walls and new construction. The first excavation contract remains incomplete after seven months, with inspectors paid $600 monthly due to delays.

Receipts total about 25 000 bushels weekly, and exporters quote figures near prevailing levels while growers expect a light early movement amid a larger than first thought harvest in Washington and the Pacific Northwest reaching up to 60 million bushels.
