SOME BIG SNAGS, ' V - Lying la tfi Bottom of the Rlvsr, Dangerous "to Navigation, Dynamited Out. The dredging crew, under the super vision of Capt Kilpatrlck, act'ng under direction of U. S. Engineer Burbank, dynamited some stumps out of the river off the Market dock which act will be of great"1 benefit to the navigators. These-stumps while not located in the channel are in mid-stream where the boats pass up and down and have always keen a constant menace and when the water was low extreme care had to be used to avoid them. The dynamite routed out some pretty formidable old snags. There was one which might, be'able to measure its age not by years but by centuries; ' It was enormous and the- huge- crane on the dredge; 'Was - taxed ; to its utmost .to bring the monster up from the, depths. Conservative estimates of people who are good judges of measurement say thatthe biggest rvot was 15 feet in diaraetef.- The crew was at work near ly all, the morning trying to get the stump onto the scow and they consid ered it quite a victory when at last it was reposing on the bosom of the scow It required ' five or, six efforts to land another smaller root, which itself must have measured from 8 to 10 feet in diameter. Murines feel better over the removal of this hidden obstruction: to navigation. ' .
