Abstract
"The Dalles rapids and Celilo falls, the only obstruction to continuous navigation from the ocean to Priest Rapids, 407 miles on the Columbia and to Lewiston, Idaho on the Snake river, 476 miles from the sea, have been overcome. Navigation possible 80 miles beyond Lewiston. Columbia navigable for deep water craft to Vancouver, 106 miles. From Vancouver to The Dalles there is an eight-foot channel. River too shallow for ocean going steamers above Bonneville, 40 miles beyond Vancouver, Wash."
