CHANNEL CUT TO
PROTECT’ RIVER JETTV
tlhUs Jones of the A hunks l toad
Co: amission has been engaged during
the past week cutting a channel thru
the Ice at h» mouth of Snake River in
order to permit the heavy spring flow
of water to gain access to the sea with
out further injury to the damaged Jetty.
Considerable labor was expended in
this operation. Friday afternoon the
ice at he mouth of the river lifted and
after floating part way out of the
channel lodged on the West olde of the
Jetty in n heavy mass which Mr. Jones
believes will effectually ptnotect that
structure from further harm If it can
be induced to stay there until the flood
period is over. ConMldentblc blasting
has been done to often the channel
