At a meeting of the Anglers Association deputy game warden O F Turner reported on the Umatilla river dam situation. Hermiston dam now allows fish passage when river height permits.

Volunteers approved reimbursements for Turner and Ladows for Hermiston repairs and awarded J R Adams five dollars for information leading to Troxal’s dynamiting arrest.

Rail Depots Move and New Steel Bridge Planned
O R N officials announce moving coal chutes to Bingham Springs for two reasons. First, to clear space in city yards for a larger depot and better facilities, and to reduce coal handling 20 miles between the city and Bingham. Local coal will be kept for the engines here, but main freight and passenger lines will take coal at Bingham Springs. A steel bridge with concrete piers west of the town is planned, with only temporary repairs to the damaged span. The flood may hasten the permanent steel rebuild.

A July 2 engineering board meeting may decide the fate of the Sunnyside project and possibly affect the nearby Tieton project. Government funding could be redirected if signups lag and entanglements linger.
