Engineers End Columbia River Dredging Until Fall
United States engineers halted work on clearing the upper Columbia River due to high water. A War Department crew under Captain Hansen blasted boulders and reefs from Wenatchee to Bridgeport, mainly in Methow and Chelan rapids, with $42,000 allocated. The river could be navigable for 70 miles above Wenatchee once finished next spring. The state added $50,000 to clear the section from Bridgeport to Kettle Falls, and further federal aid is expected to turn the river into a broad commercial highway from near the Canadian line to Oregon.
