Navigation by blasting rocks could open Columbia rapids
Rock Island Rapids may become navigable if big rocks are blasted at a reasonable cost. C O Steamboat manager Bruce Griggs estimates $100,000 would do substantial work and $50,000 to $100,000 could open the river for the season, potentially linking to Priest Rapids. New settlers move into the valley with families from Akron, Iowa.
