Work was stopped a few days the first of the week on the stone roads, caused from high water in the river, which was occasioned by the Sternberg dredge cutting back into the old channel of the river north of the Grooms bridge and letting loose, Saturday night, of the volume of water that had been dammed up in the new channel. A large number of fish came down with the deluge of water, and lots of them stranded in the river here where the rock had been blown up. Hundreds of large cat, salmon and other fish were secured Sunday by boys and men who oanght them in the fisheries among the rocks.
