Major Langfitt Steamer Passes The Three Mile Rapids
Major W C Langfitt guided the steamer Glena through the Three Mile rapids between The Dalles and The Dalles bend and was brought to Portland without incident. Government engineers doubt the need to extend the portage road to The Dalles, citing costs, canal work, and prior channel clearing, while Portland steamboat men push for a portage extension to keep The Dalles as the freight terminus.

He will spend weeks in Nome and southeastern Alaska visiting towns to study the program and school influence.
