CHESTER A. ARTHUR. EXECUTIVE MANSION, January 22, 1884. WAR DEPARTMENT, Washington City, January 14, 1884. SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith a report dated the llth instant, from the Chief of Engineers, embodying the information, so far as the same can be furnished from the records of his office, called for by a resolution of the House of Representatives, dated January 11, 1883, as follows : Resolved, That the President be requested to transmit to the House a statement showing the aggregate amount which has been expended in the improvement of rivers and harbors from the beginning of the Government to the present time, the amount annually expended, the aggregate and annual expenditure in the improvement of each river and each harbor, and, as far as practicable, the amount expended iu each State, accompanied by references to the laws authorizing each of such expenditures, and also a statement showing, in brief, what benefit to commerce, if any, has resulted from each of said expenditures, and stating the navigable capacity of each of said rivers and har- bors before and after improvement ; and also to inform the House whether any moneys have been appropriated or expended in the improvement of rivers or harbors not navigable within the legal definition of the word navigable as denned by the Supreme Court of the United States; and also to inform this House whether any money has been appropriated or expended for the improvement of any river or harbor not within the United States, with such other information as he may deem proper to communicate. I also have the honor to submit as supplemental to the report of the Chief of Engineers a statement prepared in the Treasury Department in relation to expenditures for rivers and harbors from the beginning of the Government to the 30th of June, 1882, referred to by the Chief of Engineers, as giving information not recorded in his office prior to the year 1871. The resolution which was referred by you to this Department for the desired information is herewith returned. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, ROBERT T. LINCOLN, Secretary of War. The PRESIDENT. ii APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, UNITED STATES ARMY, Washington, I). C., January 11, 1884. SIR : In reply to the reference to this office of the resolution of the House of Representatives of January 11, 1883, requesting the President to transmit to the House certain .specifi.ee! information respecting the expenditures for river and harbor improvements, and the benefit to commerce resulting therefrom, I have the honor to state that as regards the financial exhibit called for by this resolution, the records of this office embrace at present only the amounts annually expended on eah work of improvement since 1871, with the total expenditure for such works during the same period, and that similar information covering in full the period "from the beginning of the Government" to the date of the resolution can only be found in the Treasury Department, to which the accounts of all disbursements are transmitted for settlement after examination in this office, and which, besides, had. in some cases, the control and disbursements of such works in the earlier days of the Government. As supplying, therefore, this information, I would respectfully refer to Senate Ex. Doc. No. 196, Forty-seventh Congress, first session, which contains, in detail, the expenditures of the United States from March 4, 1789, to June 30, 1882, for public buildings and other public works, and for rivers and harbors, forts, arsenals and armories, transmitted to the Senate by the honorable the Secretary of the Treasury, in compliance with the requirements of a resolution of that body of July 22, 1882. This document shows "the aggregate amount which has been expended in the improvement of rivers and harbors from the beginning of the Government (to June 30, 1882); the amount annually expended; the aggregate and annual expenditure in the improvement of each river and each harbor, and the amount expended in eacfi State, accompanied by references to the laws authorizing each of such expenditures," and fully covers the requirements of the resolution of the House of Representatives of January 11, 1883, up to the above date, as far as relates to the expenditures of public moneys for the purposes in question. To comply with requirements contained in the succeeding part of this resolution, there is trans- mitted herewith "a statement, showing in brief," as far as the records of this office will admit, an account of "all river and harbor improvements upon which public moneys have been expended," with "the navigable capacity of each river or harbor before and after improvement," and, as far as practicable, " the benefit to commerce" resulting therefrom. In this statement, the several public works are arranged in the order in use in this office, as follows : 1. Harbors and rivers on the Atlantic coast, and 2. On the Gulf of Mexico. 3. Western rivers. 4. Harbors and rivers on the Northern and Northwestern Lakes, and 5. On the Pacific coast. As this arrangement differs from that adopted by the Treasury in the above-named document, No. 196, reference is made under the head of each work to the page of this document upon which the corresponding financial statement will be found, and in continuation thereof there is also added, under the head of each work, the amount appropriated, if any, by the river and harbor act of August 2, 1882. and the amount expended thereon during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883. With respect to " the benefit to commerce that has resulted from each expenditure," it should be remarked that although an increase of the -depth of a harbor or its approaches, or the opening of a river to navigation, or the permanent increase of its depth, are benefits to commerce by creating greater facilities for navigation, the extent of this benefit is not readily ascertained. It cannot invariably be found by a comparison of the commercial statistics of late years with those of a former period taken from the reports of the officers in charge of the improvement, because there is no reliable source from which these statistics can always be obtained by them, and that they are fre- quently estimates of interested parties. Nor does it follow that unless there has been an increase of commerce the benefit resulting from the improvement has been of little value, since an increase or diminution of commerce may arise from local causes entirely independent of the facilities afforded to navigation by the improvement itself. A comparison of the money value of the trade at different dates does not always indicate the relative benefit to commerce for the same reason. Nor does a comparison of the number of vessels trading at a port or on a river invariably indicate the com- parative amount of commerce, since an increase of the depth obtained by improvement enables the employment of vessels of a larger class, and although trade may have become greater, the number of vessels engaged in it may be less. APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. iii m It is farther required by this resoluticm to inform the House " whether any moneys have been appropriated or expended upon the improvement of rivers or harbors not navigable within the legal definition of the word navigable as defined by the Supreme Court of the United States." The Supreme Court declares (11 Wallace, 411) that 1. A river is a navigable water of the United States when it forms by itself, or by tts connection with other waters, a continuous highway over which commerce is or may be carried on with other States or foreign countries in the customary modes in which such commerce is conducted by water. And- 2. If a river is not of itself a high way for commerce with other States or foreign countries, or does not form such highway by its connection with other waters, and is only navigable between different places within the State, then it is not a navigable water of the United States, but only a navigable water of the State. The following localities of works of improvement upon which public moneys have been expended fall within the above definition : Lake Winnepissiogee, Neic Hampshire. This lake and its tributaries lie wholly within the State, their waters being the chief source of the Merrimac River. A dam built at its outlet forms a reservoir of these waters, which is under the control of an incorporated company, by which the water-power is regulated and supplied to factories along the Merrimac below. They do not form by themselves, or by their connection with other waters, a continued highway over which commerce is or may be carried on with other States. The Yadkin River, within the limits of North Carolina, is entirely cut off by a narrow mountain defile of 30 feet width through which it descends, in a torrent, 50 feet in 2 miles, and has, at pres- ent, no navigable connection with its lower part, known as the Great Pee Dee. French Broad River in North Carolina. The navigable connection between this and the lower portions of the river in Tennessee is interrupted below Asheville by rocky rapids, having a descent of about 18 feet to the mile, and not susceptible of any practical improvement. The outlet for the trade of this portion of the river is dependent upon two railroads recently completed. To complete the requirements of this resolution, I would further state that no " money has been appropriated or expended for the improvement of any river or harbor not within the United States." Improvements have, however, been made, or are in progress, of channels, portions of which form international boundaries. The resolution of the House of Representatives of January 11, 1883, is herewith returned. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, H. G. WRIGHT, Chief of Engineers, Brig, and Brvt. Mai. Gen. Hon.

BEBAKWATEE IN SAINT OEOIX E1VBE NEAE CALAIS, MAINE. (Page 147.) Built in 1856 of crib-work, ballasted with stone ; rebuilt in 1881, it having become dilapidated from decay of the timber. Its object is to prevent vessels being forced by tidal currents upon "The Ledge," 5 miles below Calais. It has answered its object in a very satisfactory manner. Value of imports at Calais for 1881, $362,000 ; exports, $1,500,000. LUBEC CHANNEL, MAINE. (Page 144.) This channel forms the eastern boundary of the State of Maine. First appropriation, 1879. Before improvement it was only available for navigation at high water, the least depth over several bars being only 5 feet at mean low water. When completed it will give a direct passage at all times of tide for vessels bound to Eastport, Calais, and other American ports, saving a distance of 16 miles around Campo Bello Island. It will also become available for refuge to a safe anchorage. The amount estimated for its completion is $25,000. In 1881, amount of imports in the collection districts, $755,760; exports, $355,310. July 1, 1882, amount available $67,843 15 Amount appropriated by act passed August a, 1882 , 20,000 00 87,843 15 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $66,325 99 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 6,338 27 72,664 26 July 1, 1883, amount available 15,178 89 MACHIAS EIVBE, MAINE. (Page 145.) First appropriation, 1873. The improvement has been the deepening of the channel and the removal of a large rock in front of Machias. The available depth has been increased from 3 feet to 6 feet at mean low water, with a channel of approach 100 feet wide, by which commercial facilities have been materially increased. MOOSB-A-BEC BAE AT JONESPOET, MAINE. (Page 145.) First appropriation, 1881. Located on a frequented thoroughfare for sailing vessels and steam- ers, which before improvement was tortuous and obstructed by dangerous ledges of rock. It has been straightened and deepened from 6 feet to 14 feet at mean low water. When completed, this channel, now 85 feet, will be 200 feet wide and wilL add greatly to the ease and safety of general navigation, and benefit the large fleet of vessels constantly passing that are engaged in trade with the British Provinces. Estimate for completion, $20,000. July 1, 1882, amount available $514 28 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 10, 000 00 10,514 28 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $132 03 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 58 00 190 03 July 1, 1883, amount available 10,324 25 BELFAST HAEBOE, MAINE. (Page 143.) First appropriation, 1876. Work commenced in 1879 and completed in 1880. Consisted of the removal of sunken ledges and shoals to a depth of 10 feet at mean low water, increasing the facilities of access, and permitting the use of larger vessels. July 1, 1882, amount available $3,000 00 July 1, 1883, amount available 3,000 00 H. Ex. 64 1 2 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. NARRAGUAGUS RIVER, MAINE. (Page 145.) First appropriation, 1871. Before improvement the channel had a depth of over 2 feet at low water, obstructed by rocks and ledges, by the removal of which a navigable depth of 6 feet at low water has been obtained. A considerable increase of the lumber business has resulted from this improvement. SULLIVAN'S RIVER AND FALLS, MAINE. (Pago 147.) First appropriation, 1871. Before improvement the least depth on one of the most dangerous ledges, Hatcher's Rock, was only 6 inches at low water. There is now a clear channel of 300 feet in width and 7 to 10 feet depth. The removal of this and other dangerous rock obstructions has greatly increased the lumber and granite business of this region. UNION RIVER, MAINE. (Page 148.) First appropriation, 1870. Before improvement portions of the channel were dry at low water. There is now a depth of 3 to 4 feet at that stage, or 15 feet at high water. By deepening this stream and clearing it of rocks and other obstructions from its mouth to Ellsworth, the head of tide, commercial facilities have been very much increased. PENOBSCOT RIVER AND BAT, INCLUDING HARBORS AT BANGOR, BUCKSPORT, AND CAMDEN, MAINE. (Pages 143 and 145.) The improvements at and in the vicinity of these points may be classed together as having, by removal of obstructions and deepening of channels, very much increased the facilities of navi- gation on the Penobscot, permitting the use of larger vessels and developing local business to a corresponding extent. At all these harbors there were before improvement bars and shoals with 2, 3, and 4 feet of water. New channels of 12 feet at low water are now available. ROCKLAND HARBOR, MAINE. (Page 147.) First appropriation, 1880. The project adopted for this improvement consists in the construc- tion of two breakwaters, one from Jameson Point, the other from South Ledge, the estimated cost of which is $550,000. The breakwater at Jameson Point has been undertaken first. Even in its present very incom- plete condition it has shown its value by vessels having already taken advantage of it for refuge. A breakwater at OwVs Head (page 145), 5 miles south of Rockland, was commenced under appropriation of 1852, but never completed. This new one at Rockland, a much better locality, will advantageously take its place. This harbor is situated at the entrance of all the thoroughfares leading to important ports to the east of it, which send out during the year thousands of vessels loaded with valuable cargoes. July 1, 1882, amouut available $127 20 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 40,000 00 40, 127 20 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1,1882 36,665 63 July 1, 1883, amount available 3,461 57 KENNEBEO RIVER, MAINE. (Page 143.) Small appropriations for the improvement of this river were made at intervals between the years 1827 and 1852. Work of improvement was resumed in 1866. The depth of water has been increased from 2 feet to 10 feet at mean low water from Richmond to Gardiner, and thence 6 feet at mean low water to Augusta. The ice business on this river, which is of great importance, has been largely increased and facilitated by this improvement. RICHMOND HARBOR, MAINE. (Page 146.) First appropriation, 1881. The appropriation of 1882 will complete the work projected. The work is intended for the maintenance of a depth of 10 feet at mean low water to Rich- f UNIVERSITY APPBOPEIATIONS AND EXPENDITUEES FOE EIVEES AND HARBORS. 3 toond, and to enable sea-going vessels of a larger class to engage in the transportation of ice, a business of increasing importance. July 1, 1882, amount available $6,531 03 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 10,000 00 16,531 03 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 16,531 03 CATHANCE EIVER, MAINE. (Page 143.) First appropriation, 1880. The principal obstruction to navigation is at the outer bar, where the channel of the river enters the Kennebec, where there was but 6 feet at mean low water. Owing to the shifting character of this bar, it is not believed that any work, unless at a cost too great to be warranted, would effect a permanent improvement of the channel. Two other bars lying between this and the mouth of the Cathance Eiver can be more effectually improved. Dredging on the outer bar has been completed to the extent projected, a depth of 10 feet at mean low water, and work is in progress on the other bars. The interest is local ; and the improvement thus far has resulted in but little benefit to commerce. July 1, 1882, amount available $58 67 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 5,000 00 5,058 67 July 1, 1883, amounted expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstand- ing liabilities July 1, 1882 $2,723 85 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 689 52 3, 413 37 July 1, 1883, amount available 1,645 30 "GUT" OPPOSITE BATH, MAINE. (Page 143.) This is a part of Back Eiver, a tidal river 9 miles in length connecting Kennebec Eiver at Bath with the tidewaters of Sheepscot Bay, and affords a short communication between the Kennebec and towns on or near the waters of the Sheepscot. The navigation here was much improved with appropriations made in 1870, 1871. Additional appropriations have been made since 1878, and the projected improvement is now nearly completed, and a navigation opened of not less than 11 feet at mean low water. The commerce benefited is that of the collection district of Bath, in which in 1881 there were departures, 1,945 vessels, arrivals 1,915; vessels built 55, of 36,334 tons; 800,000 tons of ice shipped ; 1,600,000 feet of lumber shipped. July 1, 1882, amount available $2,981 75 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 2,981 75 ROYALS EIVER, MAINE. (Page 147.) First appropriation, 1871. The projected improvement, completed in 1873, increased the depth to Yarmouth from 1 foot at mean low water to 5 feet, greatly benefiting navigation. The principal business of Yarmouth is ship-building, it being one of the largest ship-building towns in Maine. The estimated value of its commerce, at the time of beginning the improvement, was $1,523,500 annually. No recent statistics are at hand. Amount appropriated by act passed Augusts, 1882 ; $10,000 00 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $1,594 23 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 324 80 1,919 03 July 1, 1883, amount available 8,080 97 PORTLAND HAEBOE, MAINE. (Page 146.) A breakwater on Stamford's Ledge for the protection of the inner harbor was partly built with appropriations of 1836, 1837, and 1838. The appropriations of 1866 and since that date have been applied to the completion of the breakwater and to dredging to 20 feet at mean low water of bars and shoal ground in the harbor, where there was originally on occasional shoal spots bat 4 feet. 4 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOE RIVEES AND HAEBORS. The breakwater answers well the purposes of its construction, and the dredging, which is still in progress, has had a marked effect in increasing the facility of access of large steam and sail vessels, and the whole improvement is of decided benefit to commerce. In 1881, value of exports, $11,907,671; imports, $10,410,384. July 1, 1882, amount available $1,181 46 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 35, 000 00 36,181 46 July 1. 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $20,336 28 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 5,150 80 25,487 08 July 1, 1883, amount available 10,694 38 RICHMOND ISLAND HAEBOR, MAINE. (Page 147.) A harbor of refuge has been formed here by a rubble-stone breakwater, connecting the island with the mainland, and has considerably increased the shelter for vessels. The harbor formed by the breakwater affords safe anchorage and good holding-ground for vessels of the largest class with the wind from any point except the southwest. SACO RIVER, MAINE. (Page 147.) First appropriations, 1824 and 1827. Work resumed in 1866 and finished in 1874. The navigable capacity of the stream has not been changed, but the breakwater built at the entrance to the rivers and piers along the channel have materially increased the facilities of navigation. KENNEBUNK RIVER, MAINE. (Page 144.) Appropriations made at intervals between the years 1829 and 1852. Work resumed with appropriation of 1870 and finished in 1881. The piers built in the river have improved the channel, and the dredging at several points has increased the depth 5 feet. The improvement of the river has been of material advantage to the ship-building interest centered here. July 1, 1882, amount available $1,028 85 July 1, 1883, amount available 1,028 85 WELLS HAEBOE, MAINE. (Page 148.) The improvement in this harbor has consisted in the repair of an old Government pier built thirty or forty years ago for the purpose of straightening and deepening the channel over the bar at the entrance to the harbor. The work was completed in 1873, and has somewhat increased the facilities of access to the harbor. The commerce of the place is small and unimportant. COBSCOOK BAY, MAINE. (Page 143.) The appropriation of 1852 was expended in the removal of rocks obstructing navigation near Fall's Island to the depth of mean low water, but was insufficient to complete the work, having left several rocks whose removal was requisite to make navigation good. PISCATAQUA EIVEE, MAINE. (Page 146.) The appropriation of 1828 was expended in removing obstructions in the Berwick branch of the river. The nature and extent of the work done upon this improvement is not known. LAKE WINIPISSIOGEE, NEW HAMPSHIEE. (Page 173.) First appropriation, 1880. The depth at the outlet of the lake has been increased from 4 feet to 8 feet by dredging. The improvement has benefited three or four steamers employed mainly for summer travel. This lake and its tributaries lie wholly in the State of New Hampshire, their waters forming the chief source of the Merrimac Eiver. A dam built at its outlet forms a reservoir of these waters which is under control of an incorporated company by which the water-power is regulated and supplied to factories along the Merrimac River below. APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. 5 It does not form by itself, or by its connection with other waters, a continued highway over which commerce is, or may be carried on with other States, and is, therefore, not navigable within the legal definition of the word "navigable," as defined by the Supreme Court of the United States.

First appropriation, 1881. By dredging and the removal of rocks and ledges, access to the wharves at New Market have been much improved, and the considerable business of the place facilitated and increased. Still greater benefits are anticipated from the completion of the improve- ment so as to give a depth of 11J feet at high water, an increase of 7 feet over the shoalest part before improvement. July 1,1882, amount available $5,674 75 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 10,000 00 15,674 75 July 1, 1883, amount expended during the fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabili- ties July 1,1882 15,366 33 July 1, 1833, amount available 308 42~ EXETER RIVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE. (Page 172.) First appropriation, 1880. The work projected for the improvement of this river has been completed. The facilities for navigation have been much increased by the increased depth and direct channel gained in the river from 7J to 10 feet in depth. The manufacturing towns of South New Market and Exeter have been much benefited.- COCHECO RIVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE. (Page 172.) Present improvement begun with appropriation of 1871. By the removal of ledges, bowlders, &c., a depth of 4 feet at mean low water has been obtained where there was scarcely over 1 foot. This improved access to the wharves at Dover has given a great impetus to business, which the completion of the channel, for which provision is made in act of August 2, 1882, will still further aid. Amount appropriated by act passed August 2,1882 $28,000 00 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $8,757 44 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 1,999 40 10,75684 July 1,1883, amount available 17,243 16 PORTSMOUTH HARBOR, NEW HAMPSHIRE. (Page 173.) An appropriation was made for this harbor and other purposes in 1822, which was in part expended in the erection of a pier on "Sunken Ledge." The present work was begun with the appropriation of 1879. This is the only outlet of the navigable rivers along the coast of New Hampshire. The United States navy-yard at Kittery, Me., is also situated here. The accessibility and depth of water of this harbor give to it a special value, the only diffi- culty to its navigation and safety being caused by sunken ledges and by its tidal currents, which tend to force vessels upon dangerous projecting points and from which numerous serious accidents have occurred and are still liable to occur to United States vessels and others frequenting the harbor. The improvements projected and in progress will be of very decided benefit to commerce, and are enhanced by the great value of the harbor as a naval station.

MERRIMAC RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS. (Page 154.) The appropriations from 1828 to 1834, inclusive, were expended in the harbor of Newbury- port on a breakwater at the mouth of the river. The present improvement of the river was begun with the appropriation of 1870. Before improvement the channel of the river was narrow, crooked, and obstructed by bowlders, shoals, and ledges. A draft of 9 feet at mean low water, or 16J feet at mean high water, can now be carried 7 miles above Newburyport; 12 feet at high water for 7 miles further to Haverhill, and 10 feet thence to the Mitchell's Falls ; and at low stages 4 feet can be carried through the falls as far as Lawrence, 6 miles. Seven incorporated cities and the largest mills in New England are benefited by this improvement.

(Page 155.) The appropriations from 1828 to 1834, inclusive, were expended in removing sand bars and building, and repairs of a breakwater. Those from 1870 to 1880 in the removal of rocks and other obstructions to navigation. The depth at low water over the bar was 7 feet. The present improvement was begun in 1881, and is intended to create a permanent channel at the outer bar of not less than 17 feet at mean low or 24 feet at mean high water, by' means of jetties. The depth of the bar has already Tjeeu increased to 9J feet at mean low water by the partial construction of one of the jetties.

There is now a channel 300 feet wide and 8 feet deep at mean low water, or 17 feet at high water. The benefit to commerce is the increase of the navigable capacity of the harbor. SANDY BAY, MASSACHUSETTS. (Page 157.) The appropriations of 1836, 1837, and 1838 were applied to the construction of a breakwater 800 feet long, extending eastwardly from the western points of the harbor, to protect it from north- erly winds. The work was reported as not only of great advantage to the inhabitants of Sandy Bay (now Rockport), but also a harbor of refuge for coasters, being accessible at all times of tide. GLOUCESTER HARBOR, MASSACHUSETTS. (Page 153.) The appropriation of 1872 was expended in the removal of rocks and ledges in the inner harbor, by which the movement of vessels to and from the wharves and anchorages have been much facilitated, with benefit to the commerce of the place. The annual value of produce of the fisheries is over $3,000,000. This also is an important harbor of refuge for fishermen. MARBLEHEAD HARBOR, MASSACHUSETTS. (Page 154.)

(Page 151.) The greater part of the sums appropriated and allotted for this harbor since 1828 has been successfully expended for its preservation rather than for the increase of its navigable capacity, but at the same time the depth of water, from the entrance of the harbor to the wharves at Boston, has been increased from 18 to 23 feet at mean low water, with a least width of 600 feet. The depths in several channels tributary to the harbor have also been proportionally increased. The preservation of headlands and islands has secured shelter to roadsteads and protected the channels against encroachments.

The first appropriation, that of 1852, was expended in building a breakwater, which proved beneficial by arresting an influx of sand into the harbor. With the appropriation of 1879 the depth of water at entrance was increased from 7 to 10 feet, and a direct channel made 120 feet wide and 9 feet deep where none previously existed, by which the important commerce of Buzzard's Bay has been greatly benefited.

The appropriation of 1852 was for a survey of this harbor and of Taunton Eiver. The appropriations of 1875 and 1876 were expended in dredging, and resulted in an increase of depth of channel from 12 to 15 feet in a width of 200 feet, from deep water to the New Bedford wharves, by which they were made accessible to whalers of the largest class. TAUNTON EIVEE, MASSACHUSETTS. (Page 157.) The expenditure of the appropriations made from 1870 to 1879 resulted in increasing the navigable capacity of the stream from 4 feet to 9 feet at mean high water, and created a very marked increase of commerce. With the appropriations of 1880, 1881, and 1882 it is designed to increase the width of the channel, and also the depth from 9 to 11 feet, to head of navigation. The work is about half finished.

The work was completed in 1874. This increase of facilities of navigation has been of benefit to the commerce of the port. WELLFLEET HAEBOE, MASSACHUSETTS. (Page 158.) The appropriation of 1872 was expended in the removal of the sunken rocks at the entrance to the harbor. The work was finished in 1874, and navigation benefited thereby. WAEEHAM HAEBOE, MASSACHUSETTS. (Page 157.) Before improvement the ruling depth in the harbor was about 7 feet at mean low water, in a narrow and very crooked channel. The improvement made, with the amount expended prior to June 30, 1880, has enabled vessels drawing 13 feet to reach the wharves at high water. Further improvement of this harbor is in progress with appropriations made subsequent to the above date. H. Ex. 64 2 10 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS.

With the appropriations of 1874, 1875, and 1876 the navigable capacity of Fall River Harbor has been increased from 6 to 12 feet at mean low water by removing obstructions of bowlders and bars. Much larger vessels now enter the harbor. This place is of the highest rank in the extent of its cotton manufactures. CHURCH'S COVE, RHODE ISLAND. (Page 203.) An appropriation was made in 1827 for a survey here. The appropriations of 1836 and 1838 were applied to the construction of a breakwater for the shelter of vessels in stress of weather passing from Vineyard Sound to New York. The breakwater was never finished, and has suffered from want of means for its preservation. PAWTUCKET RIVER, RHODE ISLAND. (Page 204.) Before improvement, in 1867, the channel of approach to the wharves at Pawtucket had a least depth of 4 feet at mean low water. There is now a channel of 75 feet wide and 7 feet deep at mean low water, which has led to a decided increase of the commerce of Pawtucket, a town of 30,000 inhabitants, largely engaged in manufactures.

The appropriation of 1870, and subsequent ones to date, have been expended in the gradual increase of the depth and width of the channel of approach to Providence, so that it can now be reached at high tide by vessels drawing 25 feet. There was a balance remaining on hand of $128,464 on July 1, 1882, which will be expended towards deepening the channel to 25 feet at low water. The benefit to commerce has been an increase of the annual tonnage to and from the port to about 4,000,000 tons.

(Pages 123 and 124.) The navigation of this harbor, formerly known as Mill River, was almost impracticable, the channel being nearly bare at low water. The appropriations of 1829 and 1832 were applied to the construction of a breakwater and dike, and to the excavation of the channel. This work secured a channel of moderate width and a depth of 2 feet at low water. The channel has since been deepened to 4 feet and made 100 feet wide.

WESTPORT HARBOR AND CEDAR POINT, CONNECTICUT. (Pages 122 and 126.) In 1836-'37 a sea-wall was built on Cedar Point and a canal cut through Great Marsh, which have resulted in preserving the harbor from threatened influx of sand, and shortened, by means of the canal, the course westward by about 4 miles, and has been of benefit to navigation. NORWALK HARBOR, CONNECTICUT. (Page 124.) - In 1871, before improvement, the available low-water depth to South Norwalk was about 5 feet; thence to Norwalk not more than 1 feet. The improvement has secured and maintained a channel 100 feet wide and nearly 8 feet deep to South Norwalk, and from 60 to 80 feet wide and 6 feet deep thence to Norwalk.

(Page 182.) In 1872, before improvement, the entrance to this harbor was obstructed by bowlders, and long flats prevented vessels from reaching nearer than 2,000 feet of the wharves of the town. These can now be reached through a channel of 8 feet in depth. APPEOPEIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOE EIVEES AND HAEBOES. 15 POET JEFFEESON HAEBOE, NEW TOEK. (Page 186.) In 1871, before improvement, a bar existed just outside the entrance to this harbor, having a low-water depth of 3 to 3J feet.

The available depth at mean low water is 5 feet half way up the inlet, but to the head of the harbor it is less than 1 foot. There are several rocks in and near the channel which have been the cause of numerous wrecks. The improvement contemplates the removal of the worst of these rocks, and dredging to 7 feet at low water half way up the inlet and 4 feet to the town. This harbor is the port of a large and prosperous back country which would be much benefited by this improvement.

DEEDGING MUD-BAES IN THE HUDSON EIVEE OPPOSITE JEESEY CITY. (Page 182.) The appropriation of 1875 was expended in dredging a mud-bank which had formed opposite Jersey City to a depth of 25 feet at mean low water, but owing to the shape of the river shore above the point dredged, the benefit from the dredging was not of a permanent character. HUDSON EIVEE, NEW YOEK. (Page 181.) Appropriations were made at intervals between the years 1834 and 1852 inclusive, and expended in construction of dikes, dams, and revetments, and in dredging. Work was resumed with the appropriation of 1864. In 1866, 7 feet could be carried at low water from New Baltimore to Albany, and from Albany to Troy 7.2 feet. The channels, however, were very crooked in places, very narrow, and of such difficult navigation that the grounding of boats was of ordinary occurrence.

(Page 180.) The original condition of the channel was the existence of many large and dangerous rocky obstructions to navigation, having over them depths varying from 11 to 20 feet, and what added considerably to the danger from these reefs was the bend at right angles of the river at Hell Gate. The first appropriation was in 1852. The present improvement was begun with the appropri- ation of 1868. The condition of the work at this time is the removal of Diamond, Coenties, Ways Reef, and Shelldrake, to the depth of 26 feet at mean low water ; the breaking up of Heel Tap Rock, the tunneling and explosion of Hallett's Point, and the removal of cUbris to the depth of 26 feet; the tunneling of Flood Rock to the extent of 20,236 linear feet, and the removal therefrom of 72,116 cubic yards of stone, and 18,557 holes drilled for the final blast. The reef off the North Brother has also been removed to 26 feet at mean low water. The amount of commerce and navigation benefited by the completion of this work is estimated at $4,000,000 daily.

(Page 181.) An allotment of $11,000 was made from the appropriation of 1874 for Hell Gate, which, added to the appropriation of 1875, was expended in the removal of the reef lying off the foot of East One hundred and twenty-fifth street, New York City, from a depth of 9 feet to that of 14J feet at mean low water, thereby giving great relief to the large number of steamers plyiug between Harlem and New York. The object of the improvement to be made with the appropriation of 1878, and subsequent ones, is to connect the Hudson River and the East River with a 15 foot channel. The surveys have been completed and the lines of improvement mapped, but in consequence of the condition that these appropriations are not available until the right of way is secured to the United States free of cost, operations are deferred until this right of way is secured. The amount of commerce to be benefited by this work will be very large.

First appropriation, 1880. This channel in its original condition was obstructed by a large shoal, with a least depth of 9 feet at mean low water, which lay in the direct track of navigation and too near the wharves of Brooklyn for the safe passage of large vessels. The result of the improvement as far as it has progressed has been the removal of a part of the shoal uext to the Brooklyn piers for 2,400 feet in length and 250 feet in width, thereby giving great relief to vessels going to the Brooklyn wharves. The amount of commerce benefited by the completion of this work is estimated at $1,500,000 daily.

The original condition of the channel was inadequate for the navi- gation of vessels employed in the commerce of this district, the depth of water varying from 6.9 feet to 12.3 feet at mean low water. The work, as far as it has progressed, has resulted in a chan- nel, by dredging, about 5,000 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 18 feet deep. The amount of commerce and navigation to be benefited is about $5,000,000 annually.

At the commencement of operations in 1879, the condition of navigation in the lower part of the river was a least depth of 6 to 7 feet at mean low water, and 7 to 8 feet at shoals as far up as New Brunswick. The result of the improvement so far has been that by the construction of dikes and dredg- ing a channel 12 feet deep at mean low water has been obtained at "the Stakes," except for a short distance where it has been dredged to 9 feet; the completion of a channel by dredging at "the Middle Ground," 5,300 feet long, 130 feet wide, and 12 feet deep at mean low water, and a channel 1,000 feet long, 134 feet wide, and 12 feet deep made by blasting at " White Heads."

It was applied to building cut- stone piers, the spaces between which were occupied by piles. The work was not for the benefit of general commerce. NEWAEK BAY, NEW JEESEY. (Page 174.) The project adopted for the application of the appropriation of 1852, was to open a channel through the bar at the junction of the Passaic and Hackensack rivers, 100 feet in width, and of such depth, not exceeding 11 feet, as the appropriation would secure. The funds were exhausted before the work of obtaining a suitable channel was accomplished, and during the long interval between this and the next appropriation iu 1872, the cut made was obliterated. No material benefit to commerce resulted. SHEEWSBUEY EIVEE, NEW JEESEY. (Page 175.) Work of improvement begun in 1871. Benefit to commerce has resulted from obtaining a depth of 6 feet at mean low water from the month to head of navigation on the North Branch, and for nearly the entire length of the main stem and South Branch, the depth before the improvement being only about 3 feet. 20 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS.

The appropriations of 1836 and 1838 were expended for the preservation of Tucker's Island by the construction of jetties perpendicular to the shore, to arrest abrasion by the surf; these were eventually carried away by storms. Upon inspection in 1853, it was concluded not to repair them, as it was found that the abrasion they were designed to prevent had actually occurred with- out injury to the harbor. The appropriation of 1852, made for repairs, was not expended, but cov- ered into the Treasury. RAHWAY RIVER, NEW JERSEY. (Page 175.)

It is now 9 feet at mean low water by a straight and narrow channel past this point. The project contemplates widening the channel. The improvement has benefited the up-river trade to Trenton and intermediate points. 2. Petty's Island Bar. The navigable capacity here before improvement was 14 feet at low water. The present navigable capacity is 24 feet, in a low-water channel 225 feet wide. 3. Smith's Island Bar. The navigable capacity before improvement was C feet at low water. There is now a low-water channel 200 feet wide and 10 feet deep at low water. 4. Mifflin Bar (page 229). First appropriation 1836.

Bulkhead Shoals (page 229). The navigable capacity before the improvement was begun was about 21 feet at low water. About one-fourth of a low-water channel of 24 feet depth has been dredged across these shoals to the depth of 22 feet. This channel is designed to be 900 feet wide when finished. The rapidly-increasing commerce of the city of Philadelphia calling constantly for larger vessels of deeper draught and greater capacity, has been benefited to a marked degree by the increase of a navigable capacity of the Delaware below Bridesburg.

(Page 128.) The origin of this artificial harbor dates back to colonial times, and was suggested by the necessity of^roviding a place of refuge for vessels during the prevalence of ice. The expendi- tures by the General Government since 1826 have been for the preservation and extension of the inclosed area. This harbor, since that at Reedy Island, 10 miles below, has become useless, is the first reached by vessels coming from sea. During the existence of heavy ice in the Delaware it is usually crowded with vessels, large steamers frequently availing themselves of its shelter. SALEM RIVER, NEW JERSEY. (Page 175.) First appropriation, Ih71. The benefit to commerce from this improvement has resulted from an increase of the navigable capacity of the stream by about 3 feet. There are fifty vessels of all classes with a tonnage of about 4,000 belonging to Salem ; but the greater part of its trade, which is considerable, is in vessels belonging to other ports.

It has for many years fulfilled, so far as its capacity has enabled it to do so, the design of its projectors; but the growth of commerce, particularly during the last thirty years, has so far exceeded possible anticipation as to practically exclude more than a fractional part from the intended shelter. Work is now in progress under recent appropriations for closing the gap between the breakwater proper and the ice breaker in order to furnish the larger sheltered area required and to prevent shoaling in the harbor.

The channel has been dredged several times since that date to 10 or 12 feet at low water, for temporary relief, with the small appropriations occasionally made at the urgent request of the community interested in the navigation. There has never been an appropriation large enough to justify even beginning a proper improvement. The last one, of 1882, comes nearer to a sufficient sum. The unsatisfactory results of former attempts at improvement have checked the development of trade between this locality and others, especially Baltimore, which might be reasonably expected.

CHANNEL IN PATAPSCO RIVER AND CHESAPEAK BAY LEADING TO BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. (Pages 148,149.) Before improvement, but 16 feet at mean low water could be carried to Baltimore. This was increased to 24 feet in 1874, and is now being increased to 27 feet. In addition to the amount appropriated by Congress for this improvement, the city of Baltimore and the State of Maryland, chiefly the former, have contributed $584,000 to this work. The improvement has given rise to great development of commerce, especially from its having admitted the use of steamships of the largest size to European and coastwise ports.

JAMES EIVEE, VIEGINIA. (Page 213.) In 1836 there was an appropriation of $500 for a survey of this river, and in 1852, $45,000 for the improvement of James and Appomattox rivers. This was chiefly expended in dredging in co-operation with the authorities of Uichmoud. The work of improvement since 1870 has resulted in increasing the depths over the shoalest places from 7 feet at mean low water to 13J feet. The improvement is still incomplete.

(Page 189.; Appropriations were made at intervals between the years 1820 and 1854. The present improvement dates from 1871, and has increased the depth of water from the ocean to Wilmington from 7J feet at mean low water at the shoalest places to 11 feet. The rise of tide being about 4.J feet, 14 feet can, at ordinary spring tides, be carried at high water from Wilmington to Smithville, and 18 feet from thence to the sea. The improvement is as yet incomplete, and has in view a depth of not less than 16 feet at low water to Wilmington.

The amount of the trade of the place is from $150,000 to $200,000 annually. Small steamers make two trips weekly from Washington. ACCOTINK RIVER, VIRGINIA. (Page 211.) In 1873 a channel was made from 2J to 4 feet deep, the appropriation being insufficient to do more. It has since partially filled, so that steamboats are now unable to navigate the creek. In its present condition the improvement is of no benefit to commerce. / AQUIA CREEK, VIRGINIA. (Page 212.) First appropriation, 1872.

The work of improvement is in progress and incomplete. It is intended to provide a channel by dredging 22 feet deep and 200 feet wide through the bars, and also a basin of the same depth at the, wharves at West Point, to meet the demands of the foreign trade of this important shipping port. The value of shipments in 1882 are reported to have been, cotton, 138,284 bales, $14,661,240; unclassified shipments, $13,774,296; total, $28,435,536.

First appropriation, 1878. Before improvement the least depth upon the bar at the mouth o the river was 4 feet. The expenditure resulted in securing a channel through this bar 150 feet wide and 9 to 10 feet deep at low water. A jetty may possibly be needed to secure the perma- nency of the channel. This river is the outlet of three counties. The number of arrivals and departures of steam and sail vessels is given at 1,450 annually. PAMUNKEY RIVER, VIRGINIA. (Page 215.) In 1880, before improvement, the river was obstructed by snags, logs, overhanging trees, and wrecks. These have been removed for a distance of 20 miles, which has benefited the adjoining section of the country, unusually rich in agricultural products.

Channels have been dredged through bars in the river 150 feet and 100 feet in width, and 8 feet in depth at low water, where there was originally a depth of 4 to 5 feet, which has diminished the expense of lighterage and delays, and has been of much benefit to navigation. The value of the trade of the river was reported to be in 1881, $1,350,000.

(Page 192.) With the appropriations mde from 1871 to 1875, such snags, rafts, and overhanging trees as obstructed navigation were removed between Plymouth and Weldon. These obstructions have, again accumulated as far up as the head of heavy-draught steamboat navigation, a distance of 65 miles, and seriously interfered with the trade on the river. The appropriation of August 2, 1882, will be applied in part to the removal of these obstructions. Value of imports from northern ports landed at Plymouth and other places on the river in 1879, $1,500,000. Value of products, including lumber of all kinds, cotton and other products, and the fisheries, $2,500,000, as reported by the collector of Edenton.

(Page 228.) First appropriation, 1880. Navigation is obstructed by ledges of rock forming rapids, but with navigable depths in the pools between. The work of improvement, as far as it has progressed, has secured, by blasting, a depth of 2 feet at low water and 3 and 4 feet at ordinary stages, for a distance of 4J miles above Danville, and will, whenever completed, open to navigation a section of country rich in agricultural and mineral resources. APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. 37 The value of the trade of Danville in 1881 is reported to have been about $8,000,000, of which the value of tobacco exported was $5,634,351.

The improvement, as far as it has progressed, extends a distance of about 9i miles, with a depth of 2 to 3 feet at low water, where before the ruling depth was about 1 foot. The length of river to be improved is about 31 miles. This will benefit trade by enabling produce to reach a market by water which it would not pay to transport in- any other way.

The work done has been of material benefit to commerce, as deep-draught vessels are now enabled to come up to the harbor and to the navy-yard at all stages of the tide. The depth on the bars in the approach to the harbor has been increased from 17 and 18 feet to 25 feet at low water ; in the inner harbor it has been increased from 16 to 22 feet in one portion, and in others to 25 feet at low water, and additional facilities have been afforded for the loading of merchant ships.

DISMAL SWAMP CANAL, VIEGIN1A AND NOETH CAROLINA ("IMPROVING THE NAVIGATION OF THE NATURAL CHANNELS AT THE NORTH AND SOUTH ENTEANCES TO"). (Page 229.) Appropriations of 1836 and 1838. The shoals in Joyce's Creek, at the southern end of the canal, were dredged, and the navigation of the creek improved by cut-offs. At the northern entrance, an unsuccessful attempt having been made to secure a permanent channel of 10 feet in Deep Creek by dredging, a plan was adopted, with the co-operation of the canal company, to change the outlet of the canal to Elizabeth River by a cut of 2J miles, and the construction of a new outlet lock. The new cut was opened at the expense of the company, but Congress failed to make appropriation for the lock. At this time the United States held $150,000 of the stock of the canal company. The Dismal Swamp Canal is an important link in the inland navigation from Chesapeake Bay to the sounds of North Carolina. PAGAN CEEEK, VIRGINIA. (Page 214.) First appropriation, 1880. The depth of water through four bars, between the mouth of the creek and Smithtield has been increased from 6 to 9 feet, and a material increase of commerce has followed the improvement.

First appropriation, 1873. Before improvement but 4 feet could be carried over the bar at the mouth of the western branch of the river at low water. There is now about 9 feet at the same stage. Schooners load at Suffolk to 11J feet, and pass down the river at high tide and out to the ocean. The improvement has been of very great benefit to the navigation and to the commerce of the adjacent country. AECHEE'S HOPE EIVER, VIRGINIA. (Page 212.) First appropriation, 1881. Improvement not completed. It is proposed to increase the depth of water from 4 feet to 6 feet at low water. No benefit to commerce as yet realized.

(Page 212.) First appropriation, 1873. The expenditures here have been for the improvement of the southern branch of the river, through which the entire traffic of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal passes. The depth of water to the canal locks has been deepened from 5 feet to 7 feet, and the channel of the river much straightened. The commerce passing through the canal and river has very nearly doubled since the beginning of the improvement in 1874. BLACKWATER RIVEE, VIEGINIA. (Page 212.) First appropriation, 1878. Before improvement the ruling depth was 7 feet, with bends so abrupt as to require warping around them. The river was also obstructed by snags and trees. The river has been cleared, the bends straightened, and the water deepened to not less than 9 feet. The commerce of the river has largely increased since the improvement, and is still growing.

(Page 214.) First appropriation, 1880. Before improvement sunken logs at the mouth of the river reduced the navigable depth to about 2 feet; 11 feet can now be carried as far up as the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad bridge. Logs and other obstructions were also removed from the river for 20 miles above this bridge. The improvement has not led to the development of much trade on the river.

The depth of water on this river before improvement was limited in places to 6i feet, and bad bends existed. The least depth is now 9 feet, and the bends have been made much easier, thus allowing much larger vessels to pass. The returns of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, through which all vessels navigating this river must pass to reach northern or southern ports, show an increase of 7 per cent, in the number of vessels passing, and that the commerce of the river has been materially increased.

(Page 190.) First appropriation, 1878. A channel has been dredged through the entire length of Currituck Sound and across Coanjok Bay, and a dike constructed in this bay. The depth of water has been increased from 7 to 9 feet over the greater portion of the dredged channel. Navigation has been improved, and commerce has considerably increased, as is shown by the returns of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, which is the outlet for all vessels passing through Currituck Sound.

(Page 190.) First appropriation, 1878. The depth of water from the town of Edenton to the bay has been increased by dredging from 6J to 9 feet, with material benefit to navigation. Since this work was done a railroad has been built from Norfolk to this place, and its commerce has greatly increased. PERQUIMANS RIVER, NORTH CAROLINA. (Page 192.) The removal of logs, stumps, &c., which obstructed the navigation of the stream at Hertford, was accomplished with the appropriation of 1876. A channel 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep was secured, so that steamers now pass without detention. A large amount of timber is floated down the stream, and the usual yearly exports amount to about 25,000 bushels corn and 1,500 bales of cotton. MEHERRIN RIVER, NORTH CAROLINA. (Page .)

The appropriation of 1852 was applied to the removal of stumps and logs from the channel of the river a little below the town, so as to secure an 8-foot channel. PAMPLICO AND TAR RIVERS, NORTH CAROLINA. (Page 191.) The appropriations of 1836 and 1838 were expended in dredging below the town of Washington on Pamplico River. The present improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1876. The navigation of the Pamplico has been increased from 7J feet, at high water, to 8J feet at low water. On Tar River, boats drawing 3 feet can now reach Greenville at all times, where, before, the navigation was confined to high stages of the river. An increase of commerce has resulted from the improvement of each of these rivers. The shipment of cotton has increased from 21,000 to 35,000 bales ; rice from 4,900 to 8,668 bags, and lumber from 1,281,000 feet to 5,000,000 feet. The imports are said to have increased 33 per cent.

The appropriations of 1881 and 1882 are being applied in protecting and building out the shore at the entrance to the harbor, with the object of preserving the existing channel and main- taining the depth of water on the bar. The work has so far been successful and the channel has remained in good condition. The benefit to commerce expected from this improvement is the preservation of the deep- water entrance to Beaufort, both for the purposes of trade and as a harbor of refuge.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE HARBOR OF BEAUFORT. OPENING A PASSAGE BETWEEN BEAUFORT AND PAMPLICO SOUND. IMPROVING NEW RIVER. (Pages 189-191.) Appropriations amounting to $55,000 were made in 1836, 1837 and 1838, under the above heads jointly. They were expended with the view of making Beaufort the outlet of Pamplico Sound to the sea, in the purchase of dredging plant, and in the excavation of a cut of considerable size in Core Sound, as part of the proposed passage from Pamplico Sound. Nothing was expended on New River, as the objects to be attained were not considered of sufficient importance to war- rant the cost of improvement. The work commenced in Core Sound resulted in no benefit to commerce, for want of appropri- ations for its completion. LINE OF INLAND NAVIGATION FROM NEW BERNE TO BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA. (Page-.) The river and harbor act of August 2, 1882, sets apart $5,000 from the appropriation for the improvement of Beaufort Harbor, and $5,000 from the appropriation for the improvement of APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBOR'S. 41 Neuse River, to be applied to the improvement of the liue of inland navigation from New Berne to Beaufort Harbor. The appropriation of 1882 not expended, it not being known to which line it was the intention of Congress to apply it. NEUSE RIVER, NORTH CAROLINA. (Page 190.) First appropriation, 1878. Before improvement the river was practically closed to navigation above New Berne, and below that point an obstruction placed in the river during the war had only a narrow passage through it. It is now open for navigation to boats drawing 3 feet, for 160 miles during two-thirds of the year. During the coming season it will be made navigable at all times to Kingston, 50 miles above New Berne. Before improvement but one steamer was running on the river. Now eight steamers run regularly. The increase in produce passing is 400 to 500 per cent.

(Page 192.) First appropriation, 1879. Before improvement the river was only navigable about half-way to Trenton, and the upper part of the stream entirely closed. It is now passed over daily by steamers drawing over 3 feet, to Trenton, 43 miles. The lower part of the river can be navigated at all times by vessels drawing 6 or 8 feet. Three-fourths of the increase of the products carried on the river is due to the improvement, independent of any natural increase of production.

(Page 190.) First appropriation, 1881. This stream was not navigable at all except by small flats during freshets. Steamers drawing 3 feet are now passing over it continually for one-half or two-thirds of the year, as far as the clearing of the stream has progressed, about 40 miles from its mouth. The navigation of this and the Neuse and Trent is mainly carried on by the same boats, which are transferred from one to another sis trade requires, with much benefit to commerce.

(Page 192.) First appropriation, 1879. Work upon this river has been carried up to a mill-dam, which pre- vents further improvement until it is removed; but since no part of the appropriation can be applied to the purchase of the right of way or paying damages, operations are deferred until special provision is made for that purpose. No commerce existed upon the river and none has been developed by the improvement thus far made. The Yadkin within the limits of North Carolina is entirely cut off by a narrow mountain defile of 30 feet width, through which it descends in a torrent, 50 feet in 2 miles, and has HO navigable connection with its lower part, known as the Great Pee Dee ; it becomes, therefore, a question H.

At ordinary and high stages the river is navigable by steamers drawing 3 feet as far as Fayetteville; at very low stages not more than 8 inches exist on some of the shoals. Expenditures for increasing the depth over the shoals have not yet been made, but navigation has been made easier and safer by the removal of logs, trees, &c. The right held by a company to take tolls or make charges for the navigation of the river has been extinguished under authority of river and harbor act of March 3, 1881. Commerce has been benefited by being relieved from tolls.

The depths over the shoals in the river below Buck's Upper Mill have been increased from 9 feet to 11 J and 12 feet. The commerce of the river has increased since 1880 from a value of $848,500 to $2,370,000, the principal increase being in cotton. How much of this is due to the improvement is indeter- minate.

(Page 205.) First appropriation, 1880. The navigable depth of the river has not materially increased by the improvement, but the navigation has been made easier and safer by the removal of wrecks, logs, snags, and overhanging trees. The value of the commerce of the river has increased since 1880 from about $2,750,000 to about $4,500,000, partly due to the improvement and partly to the general development of that section of country.

EEOPENING A COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ALBEMAELE SOUND, NOETH CAEOLINA, AND THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. (Page 190.) Fifty thousand dollars by act of August 30, 1852. Modified act of February 14, 1855. An ineffectual attempt was made to secure an opening by dredging. The work was abandoned in 1859. OCEACOKE INLET, NOETH CAEOLINA. (Page 191.) First appropriation in 1828. Vessels drawing 9 feet could, at that time, pass in from the ocean at low water, but the channel inside was not practicable for vessels drawing more than 5 feet. The appropriations made were applied until 1836 in deepening one of the channels from Pam- lico Sound to. the inlet, during which time an increase of about 3J feet of depth was obtained with, at first, great promise of permanence. In 1830, to prevent the formation of a shoal that had begun to form at the outlet of the dredged channel, resort was had to a jetty for the concentration of the current. This, when nearly completed, was materially injured by a violent storm in August, 1837. The continued shoaling of the dredged channel and the destruction of this jetty eventually led to the final abandonment of the work. Between the years 1830 and 1835 the benefit to commerce was a material increase in the number of vessels seeking this outlet from North Carolina ports to the sea. 44 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOE RIVERS AND HARBORS. CHARLESTON HARBOR, SOUTH CAROLINA. ' (Page 205.) The first appropriation of 1852 was applied to improving the Beach Channel by dredging, but no substantial results were obtained. The appropriations from 1871 to 1876 were expended for the greater part in taking up at various points of the inner and outer harbor the wrecks of fourteen iron-clad and wooden vessels sunk during the civil war. Their removal was of benefit to commerce. In 1878 a plan was adopted for increasing the depth of water across the bar to 21 feet by means of jetties, the greatest depth being about 11 feet. No material benefit to commerce is expected until the two jetties shall have been further extended and raised throughout their whole lengths. Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 $300, 000 00 July 1, 1883, amount expended during nscal year $163,654 77 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities , 36,877 22 200,531 99 July 1, 1883, amount available 99,468 01 ASHEPOO RIVER, SOUTH CAROLINA. (Page 205.) The small appropriation made in 1872 was applied to the removal of various kinds of obstruc- tions placed in the channel during the civil war, by means of which the depth of 10 feet at low water was restored to the channel, which had diminished by these obstructions ; and to that extent commerce was benefited. ASHLEY RIVER, SOUTH CAROLINA. (Page 205.) The appropriations of 1880 and 1881 were applied to dredging a channel of 11 feet depth at mean low water for 10 miles above Charleston, where formerly only* 9 feet existed. The improvement chiefly benefits the several phosphate companies located above the shoals removed. July 1, 1882, amount available $85 07 July 1, 1883, amount available 85 07 TOWN CREEK, SOUTH CAROLINA. (Page 206.) A part of the appropriation of 1871 was applied to the removal of wrecks, and directly bene- fited commerce by removing these impediments to navigation between Charleston and points on Cooper River. STONO RIVER, SOUTH CAROLINA. (Page 206.) The unexpended balance of the appropriation of 1871 for Town Creek was expended in removing the wrecks of three vessels and a number of logs, sunk as obstructions during the civil war, and restored the navigable capacity of the inland water communication among the sea islands between Charleston and Port Royal, benefiting commerce to that extent. WAPPOO CUT, SOUTH CAROLINA. (Page 206.) First appropriation, 1881. It connects Stono and Ashley rivers. Work is in progress. The object of the improvement is making a straighter channel through Wappoo Cut of 6 feet depth at mean low water. At present only 2 to 4 feet can be carried at that stage through the cut. July 1, 1882, amount available $10,000 00 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 10,000 00 20, 000 00 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstand- ing liabilities July 1, 1882 $11,432 80 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 5,272 00 16, 704 80 July 1, 1883, amount available 3,295 20 SULLIVAN'S ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA. (Page 205.) The appropriation of 1880 was expended in building a jetty to protect the beach in its vicinity, and also to protect the shore end of the North Jetty of the Charleston Harbor improvement now under construction, and has served the intended purpose. APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. 45 BRUNSWICK HARBOR, GEORGIA. (Page 133.) The first appropriation of 1836 was " for the removal of the Brunswick Bar," and was so expended. In 1879, the date of the next appropriation, there was only 9 feet at low tide over the bar at the entrance to the harbor. The improvement since commenced and still in progress had resulfed, in June, 1882, in establishing a channel of from 40 to 50 feet in width, with a minimum depth of about 13 feet at low water, and has benefited commerce by increasing the depth over the bar. The present plan contemplates a depth of 15 feet at low tide over the bar. July 1, 1882, amount available $1 47 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 25, 000 00 25,001 47 July 1, 1882, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 24,502 57 July 1, 1883, amount available 498 90 SAVANNAH RIVER AND HARBOR, GEORGIA. (Page 134.) The appropriations between 1826 and 1855, inclusive, were chiefly applied to the removal of wrecks sunk in the channel-way of the river below Savannah during the Revolutionary war ; to dredging shoals produced by them and at other points, and in constructing works designed to throw a larger volume of water into "Front River." The result was an increase of depth at the worst places of from 7 or 8 feet at low water to 10 feet, and an increase of the available high- water depth, from Tybee Roads to the city, from about 14 to 16 or 17 feet. The channel-way of the river below the city greatly deteriorated during the civil war, in con- sequence of numerous and extensive obstructions placed in it. The first three appropriations since 1872 were almost exclusively used in removing those portions of the obstructions most injuri- ous to navigation, and to that extent commerce was benefited by the work. The expenditures since 1874 have resulted in forming a practicable ship channel from Tybee Roads to the city of Savannah, by which about 13 feet at low water and 19 feet at high water can now be carried to the city. Under the existing plan it is expected that at its completion, vessels drawing 22 feet will be able to reach the city wharves. July 1, 1882, amount available $15,051 92 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 200, 000 00 215,051 92 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $116,591 21 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 37,445 09 154, 036 30 July 1, 1883, amount available 61,015 62 SAVANNAH RIVER BELOW AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. (Page 135.) First appropriation, 1881. The object of the improvement is to establish a low-river channel 5 feet deep; at present there is only from 2 to 3 feet of wJiter upon several shoals in the channel-way. No benefit to commerce has as yet accrued, the expenditures having been for procuring a suitable snag-boat. July 1, 1882, amount available $75 18 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 25,000 00 25,075 18 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of oustanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $17,6(50 18 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 6,302 85 23,963 03 July 1, 1883, amount available 1,112 15 SAVANNAH RIVER ABOVE AUGUSTA. (Pago 135.) First appropriation, 1880. The work so far done has resulted in straightening the channel and securing a low-river depth of 3 feet at a number of places in the river for 64 miles above Augusta, and has produced aa immediate and permanent improvement to the navigation of the river, benefiting commerce to that extent. July 1, 1882, amount available $247 24 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 15, 000 00 15,247 24 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $8,471 53 OH " July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 4,380 ISjflf* ; 12, 851 65 July 1, 1883, amount available 2,395 59 46 APPEOPEIATIONS AND EXPENDITUBES FOE EIVERS AND HAEBOES. SAINT AUGUSTINE CEEEK, GEOEGIA. (Pago 134.) This constitutes part of the inland passage between Savannah and Jacksonville. A part oj the appropriation of 1879 was expended in the removal of the wreck of a heavy timber dry -dock sunk during the war to obstruct the channel. Its removal to a depth of 10 feet at low water accommodates the kind of navigation using the inland passage and constitutes the benefit to commerce. July 1, 1882, amount available $3,417 66 July 1, 1883, amount available 3,417 66 DAEIEN HAEBOE, GEOEGIA. (Page 133.) The appropriation of 1878 was expended in deepening two shoals in Darieu Biver, below the town, from 8 to 11 feet at mean low water, and lower down two bars were deepened from 11 to 14 feet and from 8 to 12 feet, respectively. An active business of shipping lumber and timber is carried on here, which has been benefited by the improvement. ALTAMAHA EIVEE, GEOEGIA. (Page 133.) First appropriation, 1881. The work thus far done has been merely preparatory, and the greater part of the expenditure for procuring a snag-boat. Commerce has as yet derived no benefit from the proposed improvement, which is to secure a low-water channel 80 feet wide and 3 feet deep to the confluence of the Oconee and Ocmulgee, 155 miles. July 1, 1883, amount available . $6 10 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 15,000 00 15,006 10 July I, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1,1882 137 89 July 1, 1883, amount available 14,868 21 EOMEELY MAESH, GEOEGIA. (Page-.) This forms part of the inland passage between Savannah Eiver, Georgia, and Saint John's Eiver, Florida. It is excessively crooked, and vessels drawing 5 feet cannot pass through on less than half tide. The appropriation of 1882 not being deemed sufficient, work has been postponed to await further action of Congress, since the opening of only a part of the passage would be useless. Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 $10,000 00 July 1, 18rt3, amount expended during fiscal year $61 63 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 2,399 33 2,460 93 July 1, 1883, amount available 7,539 07 SAINT JOHN'S EIVEE, FLOEIDA. (Page 131.) The depth on the bar at the mouth of this river has generally been about 6 feet at low tide, and the direction of the channel frequently changes under the influence of storms. The first appropriation was made in 1852. The results of its expenditure were not permanent. With the appropriations made from 1870 to 1878 dredging was done for temporary relief of navigation; depths from 8 to 10 feet were attained at low water, so that vessels drawing 14 feet could cross the bar; but these advantages could not be permanently secured. Since December, 1880, operations have been carried on, designed, by means of two long jetties, to establish and permanently maintain a mid-channel depth of 15 feet at mean low water on the bar. The works have not yet sufficiently advanced to give the new channel the required direction and depth. July 1, 1882, amount available $6,771 18 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 150,000 00 156,771 18 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1882 $33,759 95 July 1. 1883, outstanding liabilities 48,609 72 82, 369 67 July 1, 1883, amount available 74,401 51 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. 47 ENTRANCE TO CUMBERLAND SOUND, GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. (Page 228.) First appropriation, 1880. The depth of water over the Fernaudina Bar varies from 11 to 12| feet, aud a mean rise and fall of tide of 6 feet. Operations now in progress are designed to create and maintain a ship-channel across the bar of not less than 20 to 21 feet at mean low water. The appropriations made thus far have been too small to advance the work sufficiently to produce any marked improvement in the channel. July 1, 1882, amount available $19,743 11 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 50,000 00 69,743 11 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1, 1682 68,457 26 July 1, 1883, amount available 1,285 85 INSIDE PASSAGE BETWEEN FERNANDINA AND SAINT JOHN'S RIVER, FLORIDA. (Page 259.) Appropriations were made at intervals between the years 1828 and 1838, and chiefly applied to dredging in Amelia River and Sawpit Creek. On the reach between Fernandina and Nassau Sound there has been maintained a least low-water depth of 4 feet, which improvement is ascribed to the work done with these appropriations. With the appropriations made since 1874 the worst shoals between Nassau Sound and Saint John's River were improved by dredging from time to time ; but as there seems to be no prospect of securing any permanent benefit to commerce from the occasional expenditure of small appropri- ations, work has been discontinued since 1880. July 1, 1882, amount available $4,434 45 July 1, 1883, amount available 4,434 45 SAINT AUGUSTINE HARBOR, FLORIDA. (Page 131.) The appropriations for this harbor between the years 1841 and 1852 were expended for the extension and subsequent repair and preservation of an existing sea wall. VOLUSIA BAR, FLORIDA. (Page 133.) This is at the south end of Lake George, where the waters of Saint John's River discharge into the lake. First appropriation, 1880. The improvement contemplates the establishment of a channel depth of 6 feet at low stage by means of two jetties. The depth was from 3 to 4 feet, and about 1 foot has thus far been gained by the works executed.

(Page 130.) With the appropriations of 1844 and 1852 the Haulover Canal was cut to a depth of 2 feet, at that time considered sufficient for the class of boats that could be carried through Mosquito Lagoon. The work proved of benefit to the people living on the lagoon and on Indian River. The cut has greatly deteriorated from long neglect, and needs widening and deepening. EDISTO RIVER, SOUTH CAROLINA. (Page -.) First and only appropriation, 1882. A snag-boat has been employed removing snags and over- hanging 1 rees over a considerable portion of the river. The work is to be continued.

SALKIEHATCHIE RIVER, SOUTH CAROLINA. (Page -.) First and only appropriation, 1882. A snag-boat has been employed for a short time on the river. The work projected comprises the removal of logs, shoals, and piles so as to make a con- tinuous channel for 77 miles of river. Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 $5, 000 00 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 587 50 July 1, 1883, amount available 4,412 50 MOBILE HARBOR, ALABAMA. (Page 117.) The first appropriation was in 1826, and those made at intervals between that date and 1852 were applied to dredging a channel through Choctaw Pass 200 feet wide and 10 feet deep, and in the partial dredging of a channel through Dog River Bar to a depth of 10 feet. The original depth was 5| feet at the " pass" and 8 feet at the " bar." From 1870 to 1875 the work accomplished was a channel 300 feet wide and 13 feet deep through the pass, and one of the same depth and 200 feet wide through the bar. With the appropriation of 1879, Congress sanctioned the work now in progress of dredging the 13-foot channel to a depth of 17 feet, and extending it with a uniform width of 200 feet to the 17-foot curve in the lower bay, a distance of 26f miles. The improvement as far as completed gives satisfactory evidence of permanence. The benefit to commerce has been marked. In the fiscal year of 1881, value of exports to foreign ports, $6,594,840; imports, foreign goods, $659,397. July 1, 1882, amount available $115,276 28 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 125, 000 00 240, 276 28 July 1. 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities July 1,1882 $147,469 47 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 3,070 29 150,539 76 July 1, 1883, amount available 89,736 52 PENSACOLA HARBOR, FLORIDA. (Page 131.) First appropriation, 1878. The object of the improvement now in progress is the removal of a bar that has formed across the main channel of entrance to the harbor and to prevent its re-formation. The work has not yet been carried sufficiently far to give much benefit to commerce, but it is expected that it will, during the next summer, restore the original depth of 22J feet in the channel, which has of late years considerably shoaled. For the fiscal year 1882, value of exports, $2,964,896; imports, $103,532.

(Page 133.) Improvement begun with the appropriation of 1878. Previous appropriations for the Chatta- hoochee and Flint jointly were applied to the former only. Before improvement the river was not navigable above Bainbridge, and only navigable for light-draught steamers at high stage from that point 36 miles to its mouth. It is now navigable at ordinary low water to a point 24 miles above Bainbridge, and on a slight rise safely navigable for 90 miles above Albany. There has been a decided increase in transportation to and from points accessible to the river since the improvement has been in progress.

(Page 225.) First appropriation, 1874. Before improvement the river was not navigable at low water. It is now navigable at low water to Columbus for light-draught steamers. The work has consisted in clearing the river its entire length each year of snags and over- hanging trees, and in blasting rock shoals and deepening the channel by the use of wing-dams. The improvement is not permanent, as there is an annual accumulation of snags and other obstructions caused by the winter freshets. There has been a large increase of commerce since the commencement of the improvement.

(Page 130.) First appropriation, 1874. Before improvement the river was obstructed by numerous snags, and at a point 50 miles above Apalachicola completely closed for a distance of 6 miles. The con- dition of the river is now good and available for light-draught river steamers. Snags and over- hanging trees will have to be removed every season to maintain the improvement. Value of commerce in 1874, $181,338; in 1882, $772,565. Increase attributed to the improvement.

(Page 132.) First appropriation, 1880. The object of the improvement is to afford a channel of entrance into the river from Suwauee Bay of navigable width and 5 feet deep at mean low water, and to give a channel 50 feet wide and 4 feet deep as far up the river as Ellaville Railroad crossing, at mouth of the Withlacoochee. Before improvement the channel across the bar was about 3 feet deep, and the least depth up the river 1 feet. Expenditures so far have only accomplished a channel of the required depth across the bar, and the improvement has not as yet afforded benefit to commerce. Several million feet of pine, cypress, and cedar timber have been shipped annually, and the quantity is increasing.

The present improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1874. The work done on this river from its mouth, 187J miles to Geneva, Alabama, has opened navigation for steamers drawing 4 feet water to that point. The improvement of the river above Geneva for high-water navigation has been carried up as far as Clay Bank Creek, 60 miles. Before improvement navigation was by flat-boats only. Light- draught steamers now ascend to Geneva the year round. A considerable reduction of freight on cotton is reported as resulting from the improvement.

(Page 229.) Application of the appropriation of 1833 and 1836 unknown. The present improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1880. The benefit resulting to commerce has been the dredging of a channel over the bar at the mouth of the river from the original depth of 1 foot 9 inches, to 5 feet at mean low water, 100 feet wide, greatly facilitating the transport of the large amount of lumber which is annually shipped out of the river and con- stitutes the principal part of its commerce.

TALLAPOOSA RIVER, ALABAMA. (Page .) First appropriation, 1882. Preparations have been made to commence the work of opening the river to navigation, which will consist in the removal of snags, logs, overhanging trees, and other impediments to high water navigation. The estimated principal products for which an improved river would furnish transportation are annually about 13,000 bales of cotton, and the product of 6,000 more manufactured, with return freights amounting to about $500,000.

The benefit resulting from the expenditures for this improvement is increased safety- to river steamers, greater regularity, and quicker trips, with saving to the commerce of the river, which is considerable. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, the reported value of commerce was $4,689,835. The work has consisted in the removal of snags and overhanging timber, and the improvement of the worst bars by dams and wing dams, the object being to afford a channel 200 feet wide and 4 feet deep at low water.

(Page 261.) First appropriation, 1872. Before improvement this portion of the Tombigbee was navigable at low water only 95 miles of 366 miles of its length, and the Black Warrior was not navigable at low water. The work has consisted in the removal of snags, logs, and overhanging trees, the protection of banks against washing, and the improvement of the worst shoals by wing dams. The improvement is not completed, but has been carried far enough to make navigation safe, to enable boats to make quicker trips and during a lower stage of water than formerly, with an increase of the length of the boating season. A small annual expenditure will be required to keep the rivers in their improved condition. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, on the Warrior the average down freight of cotton was 15,000 bales; on the Tombigbee, 45,557 bales.

(Page 261.) First appropriation, 1878.* Before improvement there was no navigation on this portion of the river. The work has consisted principally in the removal of snags and overhanging trees, &tc. The benefit to commerce resulting from the expenditure is a saving on transportation of plantation supplies and products to and from points accessible to the river, between Columbus and Fulton, 144 miles. A small annual appropriation will be required to maintain the improvement. During 1882 shipments of cotton, down the river from different points, amounted to 21,786 bales.

APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. 53 PASCAGOULA RIVER, MISSISSIPPI. (Page 170.) The appropriations of 1827 and 1828 were applied to deepening the channel at the mouth of the river, but with no permanent result. In 1867-'70 a canal was cut across the bar by private parties, under a charter from the State, and $5,000 were also expended from other sources. The present improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1878, at which time but 3 feet water could be carried into the river. The expenditures have resulted in deepening the channel of entrance 7 feet at mean low water, and in improving the river for 50 miles above the mouth, by the removal of snags and overhanging trees, &c., by which navigation is made safe, at any stage of water, for small steamers. An annual expenditure will be required for maintenance. Custom-house returns show a decided increase of trade since 1879.

(Page 170.) First appropriation, 1880. Improvement in progress. The benefit to commerce resulting from the improvement is the opening of a water route for a large section of the country formerly depend- ent upon a railroad for transportation. Steamers are now making use of the river, which has been closed to them for thirty years. The work has consisted in the removal of snags, overhanging trees, fish-traps, and dams, but is not susceptible of permanent improvement. Shipments, when the work now in progress is completed, are estimated at 16,000 to 18,000 bales of cotton, with an equal value of other products and return supplies.

First appropriation, 1882. Work of improvement will be commenced as soon as the stage of water in the river will admit. By the removal of snags, fallen timber, and overhanging trees the stream can be made safely navigable for 30 miles from the mouth. Cotton shipments from railroad stations were increased from 10,000 bales in 1867 to 34,000 in 1880, and the charges are high. It is to reduce these by a competing route that the improvement is desired.

Appropriations made between the years 1829 and 1834 were expended in removing the obstruc- tions in the harbor, consisting of oyster bars and mud shoals, and in opening the river for 14 miles. The appropriation of 1844 was expended in clearing 5 milts of the river of snags and impend- ing trees. At the time of these appropriations Saint Mark's was a place of some commercial importance. The trade of the port has declined, with but little prospect of its revival, 54 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. CHIPOLA RIVER, FLORIDA. (Page 130.)

The improvement consists in deepening the channel over the outer bar by dredging from 8J feet to 11 feet at ordinary high tide, straightening the channel, and the removal of a wreck. The work has been done at a considerable reduction in cost on the original estimate, but may require a further expenditure for its preservation. It has been attended and followed by a large and constant increase in the commerce and pros- perity of the port. The town is the terminus of the Atlantic and Gulf Transit Railroad.

With those from this date to 1881 channels were dredged over the long bar at the entrance to Sabine Pass from 12 to 16 feet deep, where the original depth was but 7 feet, and through a shell reef in Sabine Pass and through another at Blue Buck Bar, near the junction of Sabine Pass with Sabine Lake. The channels over the shell reef's have not refilled, but those over the outer bar did not prove self-maintaining, and are now filled. In 1882 a project was adopted for the construction of jetties by which it is expected to main- tain a permanent 20 foot channel over the bar. No benefit to commerce has resulted, as this new work has only been commenced. The value of domestic exports passing out of Sabine Pass is estimated at about $1,505,000.

(Page 210.) In 1878, before improvement, the depth on the bar at the mouth of Sabine River was 3 feet. It was dredged to 6 feet, and has now about 5 feet. By cut-off's and the removal of snags and overhanging trees a marked improvement was made in the river during high stages. During low water it is only navigable a short distance above Orange. No statistics are at hand to show that, any increase of commerce on the river has resulted from this work. In 1856 the State of Texas appropriated over $50,000, and in 1874 a large amount of State land, for the improvement of this river. The river is not susceptible of permanent improvement.

(Page 209. ) Before improvement, in 1878, the bar at the mouth of the river had a depth of 2J feet. It was dredged to 5 feet, and has now about 4 feet depth. Logs, snags, &c., were removed as far up the river as Bevilsport, the head of high-water navigation. It is not known that this improvement of navigation has been of any benefit to commerce. This river is not susceptible of permanent improvement.

(Page 208.) In 1870, before any expenditure was made for the improvement of this harbor, the inner and outer bars limited the commerce of the port to vessels drawing not more than 11 feet. The inner bar has been removed by the joint work of the city and the General Government to a navigable depth of 20 feet. The object of the improvement in progress on the outer bar, which dates from 1880, is the contraction of the outlet so as to force the outflow into a narrow channel directed upon the bar to effect its removal. The work so far accomplished gives strong indications of a successful result. An increase of 2 feet in the depth across the bar has already resulted from the expenditures of the last three years, and the saving to commerce in the item of lighterage alone has been estimated at $400,000, at least, during the past year.

An effort is being made to secure a channel 12 feet deep, where but 8 feet formerly. existed, to Morgan's Cut, a distance of about 30 miles. It having become apparent during the progress of this improvement that the work could not be made permanent within a reasonable cost, and that the cost of its maintenance would be excessive, further expenditure upon it has been deferred to await the action of Congress thereon.

The obstructions to navigation were snags below Liberty and a bar at the mouth. Snags have been removed and the bar dredged. This bar will probably be dredged again with the balance of funds ou hand. The benefit to commerce is commensurate with the expenditure.

This improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1880. In 1881 there were 5.6 feet on the bar at mean low tide. There is now 8.5 feet, due to jetty now under construction, which as yet is not more than half completed. But little commerce has been benefited by the improvement so far. The improvement is in the interest of the increasing sugar and cotton products of that vicinity.

The navigable channel over the bar of 8 feet has remained unchanged, as but little progress has as yet been made in the improvement projected of obtaining a 12-foot channel across the bar. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, 147 vessels, with a tonnage of 140,697, entered and cleared at the custom-house at Indianola, in additiou to the many vessels not obliged to report.

The project for the work contemplates a depth of 12 feet and the protection of the head of Mata- gorda Island from abrasion. The work of improvement as far as it has progressed has created a depth of 84 feet on the bar, and a steady increase of depth is developing. The benefit to commerce as reported by the collector of customs at Corpus Christi has been a business during the year ending June 30, 1882, three times greater than in any previous year, due to the improved condition of the channel over the bar.

The benefits resulting from improvement, so far, are extension of period of navigation above Cow Island, and greater number of boats and trips to Fort Benton, owing to increase of depth on some of the shoals, and improved channels on the rapids. The river and harbor act of August 2, 1882, changed this appropriation to improvement of the Missouri from Sioux City to Fort Benton, and work has been done on the river at points between Fort Benton and Bismarck.

(Page 232.) Since 1867 four snag and dredge boats have been built and operated between Saint Paul and the mouth of the Missouri, a distance of 715 miles, in removing obstructions of all kinds, in assisting stranded boats, barges, and rafts, and dredging channels through shallow bars. The work has been of very great benefit to the entire commerce and navigation of the Upper Mississippi.

The work so far carried out has been very successful. In some. cases, by the removal of a single bar navigation has been opened up for 100 miles or more; and at numerous points an increased depth of from 20 inches at low water to 4 and 6 feet and over has been secured.

Four sand bars have been removed in a stretch of river of about 4 miles and the depth increased on them from about 30 inches to 5 and 6 feet and more, practically opening an unbroken stretch of 136 miles of excellent navigable water. This work was for the benefit of through navigation, and has been of great importance to the entire commerce of the Upper Mississippi. MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT GUTTENBURG, IOWA. (Page 233.) The removal of a bar in the raft channel opposite this place, a heavy shipping point, has been of great benefit to its commerce and to the entire lumber interest of the Upper Mississippi, by making, for about 14 miles, a safer and straighter channel for rafts.

(Page 233.) First appropriation in 1852. Work resumed in 1866. These rapids formed a succession of chains of rock extending entirely across the river and obstructing navigation for about 17 miles, with less than one foot depth in many places. There is now a channel of at least 200 feet in width and 4 feet in depth at low water. The entire commerce of the Upper Mississippi is im mensely benefited by this improvement.

In 1879, before improvement, the entire city front was nearly inaccessible to steamboats at low stages from deposits of mud and saud. These have been removed and a current created which .has so far prevented further accretions; the average depth has been increased from 2 to 5% feet. This is an important manufacturing city and a large shipping point. The improvement has resulted in great benefit to its trade and commerce.

The result of this improvement has been to increase the depth at the head of Rush Chute, and through it from about 30 inches to 6 feet at low water, and at the foot of the chute from 30 inches to 4 feet. But a small expenditure has been made at the harbor of Burlington. It has been for dredg- ing at the steamboat landings, which were obstructed by deposits of mud and sand. Rush Chute is the main channel of the river, and the entire commerce of the Upper Mississippi has been benefited by its improvement.

The projected improvement has not been fully carried out for want of fumls. Before improvement the channel along the shore was 3 feet deep at low water and 50 feet wide. It is now 4 feet deep and from 150 to 300 feet wide. This is an important manufacturing and shipping point of about 5,000 inhabitants.

(Page 234.) Appropriation of $100,000 made in 1852. This was applied to removing rocks and bowlders from the Des Moines Rapids, and afforded partial relief to navigation. Further appropriation made in 1856. DES MOINES RAPIDS CANAL. (Page 234.) The construction of the canal was begun iu 1867. The Des Moines Rapids, 11 miles in length, consists of a succession of chains of rock which practically interrupted navigation for several months in the year, necessitating expensive transfers or an entire abandonment of traffic. There is now a canal around 8 miles of the rapids and an excavated channel through the rocky chains for the remaining 3 miles. Before improvement less than 1 foot was found at several points at low water. There is now a slackwater navigation affording 5 feet at low water, and a channel of the same depth and 200 feet wide over the remaining 3 miles. This improvement is of the greatest importance to the entire commerce of the Upper Mississippi.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT HANNIBAL, MISSOURI. (Page 235.) First appropriation, 1880. Before improvement there was but one available steamboat land- ing, almost impossible at low water. Nearly one-half mile of shore is now opened to the landing of boats, &c. Hannibal is a very important business point, and its trade is very large. MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT LOUISIANA, MISSOURI. (Page 2.35.) First appropriation, 1881. The improvement has been the construction of a dike which diverts the current to the Louisiana shore and prevents the threatened formation of bars in the main channel in front of the town. The projected improvement is only partially finished. The work is of importance to the entire commerce of the Upper Mississippi. GALENA RIVER AND HARBOR, ILLINOIS. (Pagei:?7.) First appropriation, 1878. The work thus far accomplished has been dredging a cut from 80 to 100 feet wide from the mouth of the river to Galena, which has increased the channel depth from 20 inches to 6 feet. The work is only of temporary benefit. Owing to the nature of the material composing the bed of the stream, the channels made are soon greatly reduced in depth or entirely obliterated. The trade of Galena has greatly diminished of late years, owing to railroad developments, and from the extensive cultivation of land adjoining the stream and washings from mines, the river has gradually so filled with deposits that at low or even medium stages but little water can be found in the channel. CUIVRE RIVER, MISSOURI. (Page 171.) First appropriation, 1880. The navigation of the river from the mouth to " Chain of Rocks," about 16 miles, has been improved by an increase of about 4 feet in the depth. The approach to the river is still obstructed, the improvement being incomplete. This work is of but little importance to commerce.

The project adopted for a winter harbor at this place will create a basin having an area of about 500,000 square feet and a depth of 6 feet at extreme low water. This will create ample accommodation for all the steamboats, barges, and rafts at present likely to use it. The work is now in progress.

(Page 231.) The original object of the preservation of the Falls was to arrest the threatened destruction of the navigation of the river above. The work was commenced with the appropriation of 1870, but since 1878, owing to the construction of railroads, there has been no commerce on the river from the Falls to Saint Cloud, 77 miles above; and the expenditures here have proved to be no longer of importance to commerce.

The first appropriation was made in 1874, at which time there was about 1 feet on the worst shoals at low water. On the improved shoals there is now a least depth of 3 feet at low water. There is now no appreciable amount of commerce between Saint Cloud and the Falls to be benefited by this improvement. Between Grand Eapids and Aitken, on the Northern Pacific B^ailroad, navigation has been benefited sufficiently to admit of steamboat navigation at mean low water. , In 1882 the amount of commerce between these points was : in twenty-seven trips, by two steamboats; freight carried, 2,026,000 pounds; passengers, 1,764.

A large number of these obstructions have been removed as far up the river as Yellow Medicine, so as to admit the passage of light-draught steamers. From the nature of the banks obstructions by snags and leaning trees are liable to be created anew after every flood. But little benefit to commerce has resulted from the work done on this river, its navigation having nearly ceased since the building of the Saint Paul and Sioux City Bailroad, in 1871.

The available depth is now from 3 to 4 feet. The work done, thus far, has been of the greatest benefit to the commerce of the river. In 1881, there were on the river two steamboats for freight and passengers; thirty-five steam- boats engaged in towing; freight carried, 33,823,802 pounds; passengers, 11,000; logs passed through Saint Croix Boom, value, $2,563,000; logs and lumber rafted, 185,000,000 feet.

CHIPPEWA RIVER, WISCONSIN. (Page 217.) In 1876, before improvement, the depth in the river at low water, upon the worst shoals, was 12 inches ; there is now a navigable channel of from 3J to 4 feet. The bar at the mouth of the river is open to rafts of the largest dimensions, where formerly those drawing from 12 to 1C indies found difficulty in passing. The work of improvement has been, thus far, confined to the portions of the river below the entrance to Beef Slough. It is proposed to continue the improvement to Eau Claire.

The work has not yet been begun ; $50,000 are now available for it. The estimate for completion is $150,000. These rapids, with a fall of 12 to 14 feet, stand as a dividing wall between the two halves of this important grain-carrying stream, and the proposed improvement is an absolute necessity to its rapidly increasing commerce.

(Page 230.) This work has so far been limited to the headwaters of the Mississippi proper and to the commencement of a dam at Lake Winebigoshish and one at Leech Lake. The reservoir system of the Upper Mississippi, above Saint Paul, contemplates the construc- tion of seven reservoirs for the purpose of storing the surplus water of spring and early summer, to be released during seasons of drought and low water. When completed they are expected to prove of benefit to the navigation of the Mississippi as far down as Lake Pepin, by increasing the flow of water when the river is at a low stage.

The State of Alabama began the construction of a canal around Big Muscle Shoals in 1831. In 1836 the canal was opened, the work having been done with pro- ceeds of public lands donated by Congress. The present improvement was begun with an allot- ment from the appropriation of 1868, at which time the canal was in a dilapidated condition, and had been for several years unused. The. original coudition of the river was, to Brown's Ferry (160 miles), about 3 feet water for nine months of the year; thence to Florence (Muscle Shoals obstruc- tions), 38 miles, not navigable. From Florence to mouth of the river 10 to 20 inches over numer- ous shoals with navigable pools between them. The present condition of the river is as follows: From Chattanooga to Brown's Ferry rock reefs reduced, snags and bowlders removed, projected work incomplete. From Brown's Ferry to Florence, two locks of canal at Elk River Shoals well advanced; at Muscle Shoals, seven locks and masonry aqueduct finished, remaining two locks to be finished during the present summer of 1883. Lock gates in preparation at Little Muscle Shoals. A 3-foot channel is now navigable from the shoals to Florence. From Florence to mouth of the river, the river has been cleared and a few additional inches of depth secured at Colbert. Shoals and other points. The benefit to commerce is the securing of a safe through navigation, with increased depth of water at many points. The work done is of a permanent nature, but not entirely completed.

The rock reefs have been reduced and the channel, cleared of snag, overhanging trees, &c., is now passable at a stage of water varying from 2 to 4 feet lower than before improvement. The work is of a permanent nature. Benefit to commerce is the lengthening of season of safe navigation, with increasing freightage by flat-boats principally, numerous rafts passing safely.

Before improvement, navigation was obstructed by reefs, rocky projecting points, and gravel bars, &c., with only 6 to 8 inches at low water. There is now a cleared channel of 22 to 36 inches at low water. The benefit to commerce is the securing safe navigation with increased depth, which has much increased the freightage of cotton and cereals. The improve- ment made is practically permanent.

The greater part of the appropriations made between 1832 and 1839 was expended below Nashville in the construction of wing-dams, dikes, and jetties at nine different points, and in the removal of snags, rocks, and overhanging trees. Some dams were also built by the State of Kentucky. Work was resumed with the appropriation of 1871. Before improve- ment there was an average depth at shoals of about 14 inches at low water. The work done has APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. 79 resulted in a lengthened season of safe navigation for steamers drawing from 3J to 4 feet, making more trips with less difficulty and in less time than before improvement, and making it practi- cable to run light-draught boats during the low-water season. b. Above Nashville. Part of the appropriations made between 1832 and 1839 was expended in removing rocks, logs, snags, &c., from the bed of the river, and cutting trees standing on its banks and overhanging its channels. The work of improvement was resumed with the appropriation of 1876, and has resulted in a cleared channel, having an increased depth of from 6 to 8 inches at the principal obstructions, by which the season of navigation is lengthened. Larger boats are now making regular trips to Point Burnside than were used before the improvement. The work is not completed. c. At Smith's Shoals, Kentucky, four rapids formed a positive barrier to up-stream and a serious obstruction to down-stream navigation. The channel has been narrowed and deepened by means of wing-dams and a rock excavation, facilitating the safe passage of rafts and coal-boats. The improvement is practically complete and permanent. The channel between Smith's Shoals and the falls of the Cumberland has been benefited by the removal of some immense bowlders and many snags, thus assisting the safe passage of boats, &c., running out of the Rock Castle and Laurel rivers. d. Above the mouth of Jellico River. The channel has been improved by removing snags, bowlders, &c.; but this was limited to the sections of the river between mill-dams (nine in num- ber), which formed the principal obstructions.

The depth of water was absut 10 inches at the shoals. By the work done there has been a gain of 4 inches of water and the channel has been cleared of .surface obstructions.

(Page 226.) In 1823 action was taken by the State of Alabama to improve the navigation of the Coosa, and the act of Congress of May 23, 1828, appropriated certain surplus of grants of laud for the same object. Not much work was done, if any, under either. The present improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1876, at which time the river was navigable for boats drawing 2 feet, from Rome, Ga., to Greenport, Ala., 164 miles, excepting at very low water, when there was but 14 to 18 iuches at several shoals. At Greeuport five formidable reefs, and also at other points, obstructed navigation. By the improvement, as far as it has progressed, reefs have been reduced, bars, &c., removed, and the channel widened where required; a new, straight, wider and deeper channel made through the Greenport Keefs. Work on the Upper Coosa has resulted in a gain of about 8 inches of water. Two masonry locks are finished, and the stone for the third quarried and cut at the canal projected around the Ten Island Shoal obstruction. The benefit to commerce is a safe, navigable channel from Rome to Greeuport throughout the year for boats drawing 2 feet at extreme low water. Good progress toward opening the canal and an improved channel to the Alabama coal-fields.

The channel obstruc- tions have been removed, and wing-dams built to contract and deepen the channel, resulting in a safe navigable channel of 3 feet depth, for nine months in the year, below Calhoun, Ga. There appears to be no commercial necessity for any further expenditure. COOSAWATTEE RIVER GEORGIA. (Page 134.) First appropriation, 1875. Before the improvement there were surface obstructions and num- erous shoals, with the water varying from a few inches to 3 feet during the low-water season.

Nothing can be done without recourse to locks and dams at a cost of over $2,000,000, without any corresponding advantages. Congress, by act of August 2, 1882, transferred $8,700 of the unexpended funds to the Coosa Biver improvement. OCMULGEE EIVEE, GEOBGIA. (Page 131!.) This stream with the Oconee forms the Altamaha, and the three were formerly the only avenues of commerce for Central Georgia, and now furnish a natural outlet for the lumber, cotton, and other products. of that region. Many years ago the State made several appropriations for its im- provement, amounting to at least $60,000. An examination of the river was authorized by Con- gress in 1852. The present improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1876. at which time the river was so filled, at points, with snags and sunken logs as to appear as immense rafts, with numerous sand-bars, surface obstructions, &c., and a varying depth of 22 inches to 4 feet at low water. The snags have been removed, the river cleared, and several abrupt bends straightened. Work is still in progress and has thus far resulted in a clear channel, with not less than 3 feet at low water between Hawkinsville and the mouth of the river, by which the navigation by steam- boats and rafts has been much benefited. The nature of the work is such that a small force will be required from time to time to remove obstructions that may develop in the future.

There is now an improved channel from Dublin to the mouth of the river, with an increased depth of water of nearly 3 feet at low water. The work is not completed.

The navigation of the Ohio has been greatly improved; but there being no fixed low- water line, its navigable capacity, before and after improvement, cannot be stated. The depths in the river being dependent upon rainfall, there will always be, in years of little rain, little or no navigation, as iu 1881. for instance, no matter how thoroughly the river may have been improved. IMPROVEMENT OF THE FALLS OF THE OHIO RIVER. (Page -254.) Previous to February 26, 1872, when the improvement of the Falls of the Ohio River first became of any practical benefit to commerce, the natural channel-way at this point was by means of three chutes over the falls. The main chute (Indiana Chute) was navigable for descending boats from three to five months, and for ascending boats about one or one and one-half months in the year. A canal, built by private parties, around the falls on the Kentucky side, called the Louisville and Portland Canal, which was open to commerce in 1830, permitted the passage of vessels not exceeding 185 feet in length, and 50 feet iu breadth, and was therefore only available for the smaller class of vessels which were then navigating the rivers of the Mississippi Basin. The project for this improvement was adopted in 1868, and its object was to deepen, widen, and enlarge the Louisville and Portland ('anal, to complete the new locks and branch leading to them (which work had been began in 1860 by the Louisville and Portland Canal Company, and stopped for want of funds in 1866). Since then the project has been extended, by the action of Congress, so as to include the improvement of the Indiana Chute. Ever since February 26, 1872, the improvements made here have permitted the passage of boats through the canal, not exceeding 335 feet in length and 80 feet iu width. During the year ending June 30, 1882, $34,118.60 have been expended upon Indiana Chute. The advantage iu this has been to bring the natural main navigable channel over the falls into a better condition. All the work done in this direction will relieve the artificial channel, or Louisville and Portland Canal, iu periods when commerce is crowded at that point. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, the faJls were navigable for ascending and descending boats one hundred and fifteen days, and for descending boats only, one hundred and twenty-seven days ; 2,543 vessels, with a registered under-tonnage of 758,871 tons, passed over them. These carried, in addition to general merchandise, 18,545,000 bushels of coal and 18,600 tons of iron ore.

(Page 254.) The fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, was remarkable for the number and duration of the high stages of the river. The average annual period during which the canal was required by the com- merce of the Ohio River during the previous seven years was about three hundred and twenty days. During that year it was required only two hundred and fifty days, and was closed one hun- dred and fifteen days on account of high water only. Three thousand nine hundred and sixty-four vessels passed through the canal, whose regis- tered under-tonuage amounted to 904,343 tons. In addition to the general merchandise which they transported, 11,348,000 bushels of coal, 25,800 tons of iron ore, and 58,850 barrels of salt were carried by them. The act of March 3, 1881, authorizes the Secretary of War to draw his requisition on the Secretary of the Treasury, from time to time, for the purpose of operating and keeping the canal in repair. The total expenditures for the year ending June 30, 1883, were $61,333.14, of which sum, $4,000.91 was for repairing damages caused by the great flood of February, 1883, and $2,692.18 was for permanent improvements. ALLEGHENY RIVER, PENNSYLVANIA. (Page 200.) The result of the work of improvement, begun in 1879, has been to make navigation much safer and to deepen the low-water channel about 1 foot between Pittsburgh and Red Bank Creek, as well as on many ripples above that point.

The four lower locks have been rebuilt and opened to navigation, and the reconstruction of the fifth, and the construction of a new lock and dam have been commenced. The navigation afforded by the work thus far accomplished has been active, and a depth of 6 feet maintained on about 82 miles of river. This improvement is principally in the interest of the products of the forest, and of the coal and iron tributary to the river.

There are now 18 inches over them at extreme low water, and from 20 to 24 inches at average low-water stages, with the work of improvement incomplete. In the river and harbor act of 1880, provision was made for the construction of a lock and dam at Louisa, which has been begun. This will form a pool extending some distance up the Tug and Louisa forks for the security of timber rafts and coal, coming down the forks until it can be run to the Ohio River.

The Little Kauawha Navigation Company completed in 1874 the building of four locks and dams, making a slack-water navigation of 4 feet for 43 miles above Parkersburg. The work done by the United States has been the removal of rock and other obstructions from the head of slack-water navigation up to Bulltown, a distance of 87 miles, and the commencement of a lock and dam which will extend slack- water navigation about 12 miles further than it exists at present. The returns of the navigation company show a considerable increase of business since this clearing of the upper river.

(Page 223.) The work for this improvement, begun in 1867, has been the construction of piers at the nat- ural entrance; shore and beach protection on Minnesota Point, and dredging the approaches to Superior City. Before improvement the depth at entrance was 10 feet and navigation precarious; it is now 12 feet and is about to be dredged to 15 feet; thence to the wharves at Superior City the depth is from 15 to 16 feet. The value of the trade and commerce of Superior City for 1881 is stated to have been $1,590,000. 86 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS.

(Page 169.) This improvement, begun with the appropriation of 1879, is the creation of a harbor of refuge on the north shore of Lake Superior, between Duluth and the British Possessions, by the con- struction of a breakwater. The harbor has been deepened so that vessels drawing 16 feet can now enter for shelter. The work is in progress and it is designed to enlarge the dredged area in the harbor, and by the completion of the breakwater to create additional anchorage space. The depth of water before improvement only admitted vessels drawing 10 feet, and the harbor afforded but little shelter.

This improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1867, at which date the deposit at the mouth of Ontonagon River extended nearly half a mile into the lake, the channel across this bar having only a depth of 6 feet. The deep water in the harbor has been connected with deep water in the lake by a channel about 125 feet wide and 11 feet deep at low water, protected by two piers 200 feet apart. The benefit to commerce is an improved inlet for supplies and an outlet for the forest, agri- cultural, and mining products of the vicinity.

(Page 161.) First appropriation, 1880. Work commenced during the present fiscal year. This harbor is about midway between Marquette and Sault Saiute Marie. It is an inclosed bay having an area of 300 acres, 240 of which have a depth of from 18 to 50 feet. The natural entrance from the lake is obstructed by a bar with a depth of only 6 feet. The benefit to commerce will be, by the improvement of the entrance, the formation of a con- venient and commodious harbor of refuge for the entire American commerce of Lake Superior, at a point where the present damage to commerce from a lack of such refuge is very great.

Before improvement by the United States slab piers had been built on each side of the entrance to 10 feet water in the lake by private means. With part of the appropriations of 1880 and 1881 this depth was increased to 12 feet, but a storm having destroyed a considerable part of one of the ph-rs, work was suspended by reason of the refusal of the company controlling the harbor to rectify their pier-lines when rebuilding their piers.

First appropriation, 1866. Between the mouth of Fox River and deep water in Green Bay there formerly existed a very circuitous channel of about 4 miles, carrying about 10 feet of water. There is now a nearly straight channel about 2 miles long, 200 feet wide, and L'J feet deep for about half of its width, permitting the entrance of ordinary-sized vessels into the inner harbor, and the exportation of large quantities of agricultural and forest products, and the importation of considerable general merchandise. This improvement is also the connecting link between the Fox or Wiscon sin rivers and the Lakes which form one of the subdivisions of transportation routes between the Mississippi River and the seaboard.

(Page 218.) First appropriation for improvement 1867. Thus far the benefits to commerce from expenditures made have been local. On Fox River from Portage to Green Bay, 160 miles!, and on the Wisconsin from Portage to Sank, 29 miles, the improvements have met all the demands of local commerce, so as to give a depth of 5 feet on the Lower Fox from Lake Winnebago to Green Bay, and on the Upper Fox 3 feet to Portage City. During the past season the channel of the Wisconsin has been improved so as to give a navigable channel of 4 feet fur 10 miles below Portage. Before improvement, through navigation was impracticable on the Upper Fox at low water, and the portion of the Wisconsin, which has been improved, was in the same condition. The anticipated benefit to commerce cannot be stated until the work is so advanced as to give a permanent through navigable channel. 92 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS.

(Page 136.) The first appropriation, made in 1833, was expended in opening a straight outlet from the river into the lake, and commencing the pier work, since which the harbor has gradually been extended to its present proportions. The benefit to commerce cannot be justly estimated, as between the time of the first appropriation and the present, Chicago has grown from a village to a city of upwards of 600,000 inhabitants. The improvements in progress, when completed, will afford an outer harbor for vessels seeking the port, and the breakwater a safe protection to all vessels driven to this end of the lake under stress of weather.

(Page 137.) The first appropriation in 1852 was applied to dredging channels through bars. The work of improvement was resumed with the appropriation of 1869 previous appropriations having been applied to surveys and has resulted iu giving a navigable depth of 4 feet over numerous bars. The natural channel was narrow and crooked, with not more than 18 inches depth iu the shoalest places, and frequently obstructed by dangerous snags, the removal of which, together with the construction of several miles of dikes and jetties for the maintenance of the deepened channels, have essentially promoted the safe navigation of the river and the commercial interests of that section. The completion of the lock foundation at Copperas Creek, and the commencement of locks at La Grange and Kampsville, are a part of the slack water system adopted and designed to secure still larger facilities of a more permanent character. The present improvement, when completed, will afford a through water communication from the Mississippi to Lake Michigan.

(Page 137 ) Appropriations made at intervals between the years 1836 and 1852. The work ultimately went to decay for want of funds for its preservation, and was abandoned. A private company, organized in J864, expended $100,000 in pier work and gent ral improvement. The United States resumed work with the appropriation of 1806. The. improvement since made has been such that the commerce of the port has increased fivefold. The largest class of lake vessels can now enter the harbor at all times. Receipts during 1882 are reported at not less than $4,000,000.

(Page 164.) First appropriation, 1852. A Board of Engineers recommended, in 1868, the abandonment of the harbor owing to the want of local commerce and the decay of business. But the appropriation of 1866 being considered mandatory, work was resumed upon the harbor. Since 1872 expenditures have been confined to repairs. The. appropriation of 18*2 is held under advisement. To comply with a resolution of the House of Representatives of February, 1882, a survey was made and estimates submitted for a harbor of refuge here. The place is of no commercial importance, but the locality well suited for a harbor of refuge.

(Page 168.) First appropriation, 1869. The original channel of entrance was narrow and crooked, with a depth of about 5 feet. A new channel lus been opened in a straight cut from White Lake to Lake Michigan, having now a depth of 8 feet, which will ultimately be increased to 12 feet. The lumber trade of this port is quite large, and on three occasions during the past six years private parties have dredged the entrance to make it passable for vessels drawing 9 feet.

(Page 163.) First appropriation, 18C7. The original channel had been irregularly defined by slab piers, which gave fair access, but the navigation was limited to 7 feet depth by a bar at the end of the piers. The depth of water is now from 15 to 18 feet, and the distance between the piers is being increased to 300 feet. This is an important harbor; it has the heaviest lumber-trade, and is con- stantly used by a large class of steam and sail vessels.

The work so far accomplished has been the making of a narrow channel of the required depth through two shoals below Grand Rapids. The work has proved so heavy that its cost will be far in excess of the original estimate. The trade is carried on by a few light-draught steamers only.

First appropriation of 1852 was expended in preparations for opening a new outlet into Lake Michigan, and about the year 18(50 private parties made an opening at a cost of $30,000. The improvement was continued by the United States with the appropriation of 18(56 and subsequent ones; at that time the depth of water at the entrance was f> feet. It has now a central depth of 9 to 10 feet. The trade of the place has become local and small.

The general commerce of the lakes has not been benefited by this improvement, owing to its limited extent. HARBOR OF REFUGE, SAND BEACH, LAKE HURON, MICHIGAN. (Page 161.) This work was begun in 1871. There is now, where no harbor previously existed, a sheltered area, easy of access, covering 160 acres, over which there is a navigable depth of 18 feet and more, or 300 acres, with a depth of not less than 12 feet, forming a harbor of refuge to vessels during storms on a coast which, for 138 miles, had no harbor.

The navigable capacity, from the entrance to the river for 4,000 feet up-stream, has been increased from 9 feet before improvement, in 1875, to 12 feet, and for the further distance of a mile from 7 to 9 feet. The benefit to commerce has been to allow the direct shipment of largo quantities of bricks made on the banks of Piue River, that had formerly to be hauled by land to the Saint Clair River for shipment. ICE-HARBOR, BELLE RIVER, MICHIGAN. (Page 158.) This improvement, begun in 1880, is still unfinished and is designed as a secure harbor for vessels during winter, and from the danger of being crushed by the breaking up of the ice in the spring.

There is now a good channel of entrance to harbor with a least depth of 17 feet. The breakwater designed to form a harbor of refuge is about two-thirds completed. The extension of the pier, which is to form the east side of the breakwater, has still to be appropriated for. The completion of the remaining parts is now contracted for. This has been made one of the most important harbors on the lakes. In 1881 the value of imports was $60,806,008; exports, $34,030,757 ; 3,151 vessels entered and 3,096 vessels cleared.

(Page 195.) At the time of the first appropriation for this harbor, 1829, the depth of water at the entrance was but 2 feet; this was increased by the construction of piers and by dredging to 11 feet in 1838. After which time, until 1866, there were but two appropriations, at long intervals, and upon the resumption of the. improvement in 1867 the depth was found reduced to 8J feet. The present depth is less. The piers are now in a dilapidated condition ; a large breach has been made through one of them by storms, and the superstructure of the remaining part is much decayed.

(Page 195.) First appropriation, 1826. This improvement was not for the purpose of obtaining a navigable channel through the mouth of the creek, but to obtain a shelter for vessels, independent of access to the interior. The plan adopted was that of parallel piers, running into the lake, 475 feet apart, with an outer protection by a breakwater parallel to the shore. The piers were carried out by cribs, separated from each other about 30 feet, and bridged over. The first work built was so slight as to need frequent repairs, and the projected breakwater was never built. In 1839 the piers were still unfinished, and upon an inspection by a Board of Engineer Officers it was concluded that "the wants of agriculture or commerce, or the business to be drawn to this place by them," were not sufficient to warrant further expenditure. The work has been abandoned since that date. PORTLAND HAEBOE, LAKE EEIE, NEW YOEK. (Page 186.) This harbor, situated 12 miles west of Dunkirk, was originally an open roadstead, the town being at the bottom of a small bay, fronting .to the north. The works to protect the landing consisted of a pier, built by individual enterprise, extending into the lake from the eastern cape of the bay, and a pier from the western cape, extending 1,200, feet into the lake, built by the United States with the appropriations of 1836-'37 and '38. The town having become a place of no commercial importance, the piers have been permitted to decay, there having been no appropriation tor the work since 1838. DUNKIRK HAltBOE, NEW YOEK. (Page 179. ) The improvement of this harbor was begun in 1827. The entrance is through a depression in a solid rock reef, which extends entirely across the harbor. No change of depth was effected until 1877, when the depth was increased about 2 feet by blasting, making the entrance about 12 feet deep. Expenditures upon this harbor have been mainly for the purpose of affording, by the construction of a breakwater, security for vessels seeking the harbor. The commerce of Dunkirk has diminished of late years, and is now small. In 1867, entrances and clearances, 679; tonnage, 452,925. In 1881, entrances and clearances, 118; tonnage, 13,618.

(Page 178.) Before any improvement was made here, the entrance to the creek was extremely shoal, shifting, and often impracticable. The appropriations of 1836, 1837, and 1838 were applied to the construction of parallel piers, by which the entrance was so much improved as to become 104 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. accessible to steamers, and for a time the commerce of the place gradually increased in consequence. The commerce of the creek has since declined, and the piers, having been neglected for want of appropriation since 1838, have gone to decay, but to what extent is not known. BUFFALO HARBOR, NEW YORK. (Page 176.) First appropriation by Congress, 1826. Piers were built at the mouth of Buffalo Creek in 1820-'21 by private enterprise as an inducement to locate the termiuus of the Erie Canal at this point. The plan of improvement, as modiQed at various times, provided for the construction of a north and a south pier at the mouth of the creek ; a masonry sea wall running south from the south pier, and a breakwater, a little less than half a mile distant from and in front of the Buffalo light- house, its long arm running nearly parallel with the general shore line of the lake. The north and south piers were finished long ago, and the sea wall also. The depth of water between the piers at the entrance to the harbor was 10 feet in 1835, and is now 16 feet at low water. The breakwater at the end of the last working season had been completed to a length of 4,887 feet; its projected length is 7,600 feet, with an arm to extend from its extremity to the shore. The present sheltered harbor area is about 320 acres. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, the value of imports was $5,473,864. Number of vessels cleared, 3,098; entered, 3,077.

(Page 176.) The appropriations from 1829 to 1834, inclusive, were applied to the construction of a pier and mole inclosing the western entrance to the harbor. The lower portions of the pier, which forms the harbor, and a dike ou Squaw Island had been constructed by the State of New York; the United States works were at the upper extremity of this pier and in continuation of it. The object of the mole was to arrest the sand from entering into the harbor. The harbor being in fact a continuation of the Erie Canal, the United States works were at the time of the highest importance to commerce, as it was through the artificial harbor that the canal gained access to Lake Erie. NIAGARA RIVER, AT TONA WANDA HARBOR, NEW YORK. (Page 183.) First appropriation, 1881. The improvement here has been the removal of three bars at the head and at the middle of Tonawanda Island and at the mouth of the creek ; 13 feet water has been obtained at each of them, where before improvement there was but 11 feet. Year ending June 30, 182, value of imports, $548,203; arrivals, 1,068; clearances, 1,063. Chief article of commerce, lumber.

Two parallel piers were built by private enterprise in 1846, and the improvement continued from time to time by pier work and dredging, by which the original depth at entrance of 1 foot was increased to 6 feet. The first appropriation by Congress was in 1875. The piers have been rebuilt and extended to 9 feet water in the lake, and there is now about that depth of entrance. The harbor is of local importance only, the arrivals and departures averaging about one a week during the season of navigation.

APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HAEBOES. 105 The piers have been carried out to 9 feet water in the lake, and the channel deepened to 10 feet for a width of 50 feet. In excavating this channel a bed of rock was encountered, which made the cost of this work greater than was anticipated. The harbor is of local importance only. Chief articles of commerce, fruit, grain, and lumber. OAK OECHAED HAEBOE, NEW YOEK. (Page 183.) Appropriations were made for this harbor at intervals from 1836 to 1852. The present improve- ment dates from the appropriation of 1867. Originally, the mouth of the creek was closed by a bar upon which there was only from 2 to 4 feet water. The improvement consists of a breakwater built in 1836 and two parallel piers 200 feet apart, extending to 9 feet water in the lake. The channel between the] piers is from 40 to 80 feet wide and 12 feet deep at low water, cut through a sandstone ledge. This is the only point between the mouth of Genesee River and Niagara River, a distance of SO miles, suitable for a harbor of refuge, being about midway, with plenty of water inside. The harbor is of local importance only, but by deepening the entrance to 12 feet might be made a good harbor of refuge. Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 $3, 000 00 July 1, 1883, amount available 3,000 00 CHAELOTTE HARBOE, NEW YOEK. (Page 178.) With appropriations from 1829 to 1835, the entrance to the harbor had been deepened by the construction of parallel piers from 4 to 15 feet. The subsequent appropriations made at intervals to date have been expended in the repairs and reconstruction of the piers; the depth at entrance has remained about the same. This harbor is important as being the port of the city of Rochester, 7 miles distant. Value of imports and exports in 1882, $1,083,000.

An area at the mouth of the river was inclosed, and subsequent appropriations were applied to repairing and renewing the original structures and to dredging. The present improvement was begun with the appropriation of 1871, the plan being that of a west and east breakwater, with an opening of 350 feet between them for entrance into the harbor and river. The west breakwater, 6,t)25 feet long, is completed ; the east one, which is designed to be 2,700 feet long, has been commenced. The river channel has been deepened to 15 feet at extreme low water.

Appropriations between the years 1836 and 1844 were applied to the construction of piers, by which the original depth of 4 feet at entrance was increased to 9 feet. The appropriation of 1873 was expended in dredging a channel through a bar at the outer end of the piers. No appropriation since that date. The piers are now in a dilapidated condition, and the depth of water at entrance has decreased to 4 feet at extreme low water. SACKETT'S HARBOR, NEW YORK. (Page 187.) The appropriations of 1826 and 1828 were expended in dredging inside the harbor, to what depth is unknown. The shoalness of the harbor restricts the lake commerce of the port to vessels drawing from 6 to 9 feet water. The appropriation of 1882 will be applied as far as it will admit to dredging in the harbor to a depth of 12 feet. This is a terminus of the Utica and Black River Railroad.

The depth of water through the bar at the head of Little River, the upper entrance to the harbor, was increased from 7 to 11 feet. The subsequent appropriations were applied to excavation in the lower entrance. This has been discontinued owing to the high cost of the blasting required and the little good to result from it.

Appropriations made between the years 1830 and 1844 were expended in the construction of a breakwater for the protection of vessels against the prevailing strongest winds, by which they are enabled to load and unload at all times. Subsequent appropriations have peeu applied to repairs of this work, to its extension, and to dredging in the sheltered harbor area. This breakwater created and sustains the commerce of the place.

(Page 188.) The appropriations of 1836, 1837, and 1838 were applied to "the excavation and removal of the sand and other alluvial deposits, which had so far accumulated below the town as to prevent steamers, and other vessels of larger classes navigating Lake Champlain, from approaching within less than half a mile of the proper landing places, to the great inconvenience of the traveling and commercial community." The benefit to commerce was to afford (in 1840) "a channel quite up to the wharves and land- ing places of from 9 to 12 feet deep at low water." TICONDEROGA RIVER, NEW YORK. (Page 188.) First appropriation, 1881. The object of the improvement now in progress is to open a chan- nel 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep, from Lake Champlain to the town of Ticonderoga, the ruling depth by the river being but 2 feet. This is a manufacturing and mining town of some importance. In 1881 the value of its annual commerce was stated to be $1,156,223. Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 $5, 000 00 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year 3, 4f5 80 July 1, 1883, amount available : 1.514 20 BURLINGTON HARBOR, VERMONT. (Pago 210.) The town is so situated that vessels lying at the wharves had originally no natural protection from westerly winds. The breakwater built with appropriations made from 1836 to 1844, was found, when work was to be resumed with the appropriation of 1806, to be insufficient, owing to the extension of the line of wharves by the growth of the place. The old breakwater was therefore, extended at each end. The appropriations from 1866 to date have been applied to this new work, and to occasional repairs. 108 APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. The breakwater is essential to the commerce of the port. No commercial statistics at hand.

(Page 211.) The project for the improvement of this harbor was adopted in 1873, its object being to give protection to anticipated docks and wharves. The amount expended has resulted in the construc- tion of a breakwater 259 feet long. The docks and wharves have been located at some distance from the breakwater, thereby receiving very little or no protection from it. In view of this and the uncertainty of the future location of others now under consideration, further expenditures are withheld until their estab- lishment shall give indications of requirements for further extension of the breakwater. This is an important commercial center of tlie railway system of this part of the country.

(Page 211.) First appropriation, 1872. The improvement comprises the removal of various snags, shoals, and other obstructions from the bed of the stream, and the deepening of the basin of Vergennes so as to afford a depth of 8 feet between that place and Lake Ghamplain. The work is not complete, but has resulted so far in the improvement of that portion of the creek and basin most troublesome to navigators.

(Page 211.) The appropriations of 1836 and 1837 were expended in dredging. This is the main water com- munication between the commercial channel on the western and Swanton Harbor and Saint Albans Bay on the eastern side of the lake, and is used by steam and sail vessels engaged in the general and local commerce of the lake. The entrance and outlet of this channel has since diminished in width and is obstructed by dangerous rocks. It should be widened and the rocks removed. OAKLAND HARBOR, CALIFORNIA. (Page 120.) First appropriation, 1874. At the beginning of the improvement the depth on the bar at the entrance was at low stage 3 feet, and at high stage 9 feet; average draught of vessels, about 5 feet. The present depths are 14 feet at low, and 20 feet at high water; average draught of vessels using the channel, 12 feet. The benefit to commerce may be inferred by the following: Business of the year 1874, by steamers, no passengers ( , , . ,, . . . . t Business of the year 1874, by sail, no passengers ; J J Business of the year 1882, by steamers 858, 352 passengers. 1, 051, 788 tons freight.

(Page 121.) First appropriation, 1871. Before improvement there was a variable depth of 1 to 2 feet at low water on the bar at the entrance. All freight aud passengers had to be lightered for several miles. The present depth varies from 8 to 10 feet at low water and 14 to 1C feet at high water. Ves- sels drawing 14 feet now enter and deliver freight at the wharves. Deep-draught ships are now obliged, as formerly, to lie outside and discharge by lighters.

(Page 120.) First appropriation, If'SO. But little progress has been made upon this improvement, the appropriation of 1881 having been too small to justify its application until a larger sum became available. With the addition of the appropriation of 1882 work has been resumed. Two cut-offs were made in the stream with the first appropriation, which considerably shortened the trips of the numerous vessels that ply between Petaluma aud San Francisco. The deepening of the channel cannot fail to prove of additional advantage. A considerable area of country, affording employment to a large fleet of schooners and to a line of steamers, depends in a great measure for its prosperity upon this navigation.

(Page 120.) First appropriation, 1875. The improvement of these rivers has consisted in the construction of wing-dams, to give greater depth in shallow places, and in the removal of snags from the channel and impending trees from the banks. The Upper Sacramento changes its bed in many places with great facility, and the clearance of snags is indispensable to its navigation. But for these operations a large portion of the river, forming an outlet for a large agricultural country, would have become unnavigable at ordinary stages, and the expenditure has in this way afforded benefit to navigation. July 1, 1882, amount available $14,885 53 Amount appropriated by act passed August 2, 1882 250,000 00 264, 885 53 July 1, 1883, amount expended during fiscal year, exclusive of outstanding liabilities Jnly 1, 1882 $28,220 73 July 1, 1883, outstanding liabilities 6,19800 34, 418 73 July 1, 1883, amount available 230,466 80 SAN JOAQUIN RIVER, CALIFORNIA. (P>ige 121.) First appropriation, 1876. Two permanent improvements have been made in the channel of the river by the excavation of canals 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep to straighten an unusual abruptness of the bends of the river that made the passage difficult for the daily steamers and delayed sailing vessels. Channels have been dredged to great advantage in Stockton and Merman sloughs, permitting full loads to be carried in the low stage of water. These improvements have encouraged tho establishment of warehouses aud a large grist-mill at Stockton, which is a center of wheat trade. The construction of brush dams in the bed of the upper river and the removal of snags have 110 APPBOPBIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOE EIVEES AND HAEBOES. facilitated navigation, and the improvements named have materially increased the capacity of the river for commerce, and are highly appreciated bj - all interested.

(Page 120.) First appropriation, 1881. Operations in this harbor have been limited to dredging the ship- channel at two points, and in surveys with a view to the future improvement of the entrance. Additional dredging at these and two other points is about to be commenced. The dredging has been a convenience to vessels engaged in the commerce of this port, which is the most important in California north of San Francisco, and whose commerce is steadily increasing, and has lessened delays in receipt and discharge of cargoes, and in some cases has dispensed with lighterage.

(Page 121.) Allotments, 1868 and 1869; appropriations, 1872 and 1874. Expenditures made at this harbor have been applied to the improvement of navigable channels by the removal of dangers. Blossom and Eincou rocks, isolated peaks in navigable channels in the harbor, with 6 and 8 feet over them at low water, were removed to a deptli of 24 feet at mean low water. Noonday Eock, situated at sea, about 30 miles off the heads, was removed to the deptli of 47 feet. The wreck of the ship Patrician on the bar at the entrance to the harbor was also removed. These operations relieved commerce of danger, but did not affect the navigable capacity of the channels. SAN DIEGO HAEBOE, CALIFOENIA. (Page 121.) First appropriation, 1852. To prevent injury to the harbor by the deposit of sand and soil into the bay during times of flood, a levee was built across the river in 1853-'54, to divert it into False Bay. This stood but a few years, and was eventually carried away by an unusual freshet. The same object has been successfully accomplished with the appropriation of 1875, and the expenditure has resulted in benefiting commerce to the extent of preserving the harbor permanently from injury "by the river.

(Page 121.) Only so much of the appropriation of $150,000 of March 3, 1879, has been expended as was required to meet the cost of an examination of several harbors on the Pacific coast by a Board of Engineer officers. The balance is held to await the future action of Congress, it having been found that the amount available could not produce beneficial results. According to the estimates of the Board an ultimate expenditure of about $8,000,000 may be involved in the complete establishment of the harbor in question. The majority of the Board recommends Port Orford as the most suitable point for the proposed work. LOWEE WILLAMETTE AND COLUMBIA EIVEES, FEOM POETLAND, OEEGON, TO THE SEA. (Page 200.) First appropriation, 1866. Before improvement the natural depth on the shoalest bar below Portland was about 9 feet at low water, and -on six other bars 10 to 15 feet. Since the work has been in progress the ruling depths have generally been kept at 15, then 17 and 19 feet low water, with greater depths on part of the bars. APPROPRIATIONS AND EXPENDITURES FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS. Ill The benefit to commerce has been the maintenance of a ship-channel from Astoria, near the mouth of Columbia River, to Portland, 100 miles, with safer and easier navigation. Before improvement, small steamships made tri-mouthly trips from San Francisco to Portland, at present large steamers make two trips per week, with occasional freight steamers, and from Puget Sound regular colliers. Two steamers have lately arrived from China. For year ending May 31, 1882, value of imports, $558,000 ; exports, $0,014,243.

(Page 199.) First appropriation, 1871. Previous to 1875 there was no navigation above the mouth of the Yamhill (40 miles from Portland) during low water. Since 1877 there has been no time when it was not possible to reach Cors^allis, 114 miles. Before the completion of the main lines of the valley railroads, the river was the only means of transportation for an area of about 3,000 square miles of settled and cultivated agricultural country; the opening of these roads has diminished the river tiansportation.

(Page 227.) First appropriation, 1872. The natural channel through the rock rapids was, before improve- ment, narrow, tortuous, and rapid, with a depth of 2 to 4 feet at low stage. Navigation was diffi- cult and dangerous, and limited to periods of favorable stage. Improvements have been made at thirteen localities, by which navigation is easier and its period prolonged, and depths increased to 4J and 5 feet. The carrying capacity of boats using the river has increased 25 to 50 per cent. The productions of the Upper Columbia country are rapidly increasing; for the year ending May 30, 1882, their value was computed to be about $0,000,000.

(Page 226.) First appropriation, 1877. Improvement in progress, and consists ,of open river work over a reach of about 4 miles, from head of present navigation to the foot of projected canal. The river part is about one half completed, the canal part about one-fourth. The completion will give a continuous navigation of 8 feet least depth of channel from the head of ship navigation as far up as The Dalles, 45 miles, which is the border of the productive and extensive Upper Columbia region, from which to The Dalles, railroad construction Is compara- tively easy, whereas, below The Dalles, it is difficult, and its maintenance would be expensive, No material benefit to commerce can be expected until the improvement is completed.

ENTRANCE TO COOS BAY, OREGON. (Page 199.) First appropriation, 1879. Improvement incomplete; its object is to open and maintain a deeper and more direct channel across the sea-bar by jetty construction. The natural channel was shifting, usually tortuous, and with not more than 9 to 12 feet at mean low water. The benefit to commerce is that an unusual draught of 14 feet has been carried over the bar, and that night crossings of the bar, not previously attempted, have been made. The improvement furnishes encouragement to large lumber and coal interests of the region.

(Page 135.) First appropriation, 1879. The improvement has for its object to open a channel through rock reefs and cobblestone bars for rafts and small river boats 60 feet wide, and 4 feet deep at low stage, for a distance of 40 miles. The natural channel was impracticable for boats and difficult for rafts. The partial improvement so far made has greatly benefited a timber interest. Its completion will make the Lower Clearwater an actual part of the Upper Columbia River highway.

First appropriation, 1880. The projected improvement is to afford a permanent central channel over the bar, with a depth of not less than 12 feet at mean low tide. Of the three natural shifting channels, the best one had a depth of from 7 to 9 feet; the two others are obstructed by rocks. The work has not advanced sufficiently to benefit commerce. Under the expectation of its completion, a railroad has been projected and partially constructed from a point iu the Willamette Valley to Yaquiua Bay.

(Page 199.) First appropriation, 1880. By the construction, in part, of a low jetty the expenditure has resulted in a marked benefit to the entrance channel. This was naturally tortuous, obstructed by rocks, somewhat shifting, and rarely carried more than 3 feet at low water. The incomplete jetty has caused this channel to till completely above high tide, and has cut out a straight channel, as intended, entirely free from rocks, and with an additional depth of 2 to 3 feet. The improvement, so far, is eminently successful. There is a brisk ship-building industry on the river. The exports consist of lumber, manu- factured wooden articles, produce, salmon, hides, and skins. The valley is exceedingly fertile.

(Page 216.) First appropriation, 1880. The improvement consists in the removal of drift, snags, and bars, to give an easy and safe light-draught navigation at all stages as far as Cowlitz Landing, 40 miles from the river mouth. The work accomplished has facilitated transportation and rafting, and has promoted rapid settlement of the fertile and productive valley of the river. All the industries of the valley have more than doubled since 1879, and the river trade is steadily increasing. Excepting only the Willamette and Snake rivers, the Cowlitz is the most important tributary of the Columbia.

(Page 216.) First appropriation, 1880, for the Skagit was expended in a partial improvement of that stream by removing snags and jams that rendered it at times impassable. The appropriation of 1882 is being applied to the construction of a snag-boat for use on all these rivers; the aggregate length on which navigation can be readily improved and extended is about 250 miles. In the absence of wagon roads they form the only routes of travel and transportation. The population has doubled since 1880, and the discovery of coal and iron near the Skagit has given impulse to important enterprises which depend principally on a free river for their success.
