FINDS RARE- PLANT SPECIMENS
- IN SAWTOOTH’S
{•has Thornton, whose botanical re
searches in this section have resulted
In the discovery. by him of several
forms of plant life not hitherto known
to lie included in the flora of Alaska,
returned a few days ago from a stay
of several weeks in the Sawtooth
Mountains, where he secured some fine
additions to his remarkable collection
of plant specimens, Including several
forms which he believes are possibly
unclassified and in any event exceed
ingly rare. During his 3tay the weath
er was decidedly adverse. Snow fell
and laid on the ground for three days
and much of the time he was compelled
to stay under cover. As a result his
efforts were considerably handicapped
but he is nevertheless much pleased
with the results of the journey and the
fine specimens obtained.

known to a majority of our citizens.

sonality. a kindly spirit and pleasing

HARBOR WORK
MAKING PROGRESS
Work on the Snake River harbor
construction is proceeding at an in
creased pace since the subsidance of
the big blow of recent days. Preseat
activities are directed to repairing the
damaged section of the east Jetty and
otherwise fortifying the structure
against future injury.
The revetment lining the east bank
of the channel is being extended a
considerable distance to the south and
will cover the break in the Jetty re
sulting from the stAere flood last fall.
The work is being done in most sub
stantial manner and every precaution
is being taken by Engineer Carpen
ter to avoid a repitition of last fall's
washout. The heavy 10 x 12 piling Is
being driven many feet lower than was
the case last year and all supports and
braces are of considerably larger di
mensions. To all appearances the
new construction Is as strong as It can
possibly be made with timber mater
ials. In addition to securely placing
the piling, Mr Carpenter also intends
to further fortify the revetment by
lining it with cemept work along the
channel. This is to be accomplished
by building up a wall of sacks filled
with a cement mixture against the
channel side of the timber work from
the bottom to a point -below the water
line. When the cement has set. this
will virtually form a wall of rock along
the revetment and will in all proba
bility effectually prevent the under
mining process responsible for the
damage last year.
