Description Image caption: PHOTOGRAPH NO. 5. This shows the fences necessary for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company to maintain, and constantly change, to keep its track clear of the shifting sand along the line of the proposed boat railway. (It will be necessary for the United States to adopt similar measures to keep the sand off the tracks of the boat railway at numerous points throughout the 9 miles of the latter after it has been constructed.)
