18 THE MORMXG OREGOMAN. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1913. I tr? r NT- JPK zrZT"" " 1 ,. -ZZU VIEWS SOUGHT SIX-FOOT CHANNEL Major Mclndoe Takes Up Project of Dams and Locks in Willamette River. VALLEY PEOPLE MUST AID Captain Graham Points Ont Enor mous Advantage of Opening Upper River to Perma nent Passage. What is viewed as the. most im portant project yet planned for the improvement of navigation conditions on the Upper Willamette River and for the enlargement of commerce on that stream is a step taken by Major Mclndoe. Corps of Engineers, IT. 8. A., in letters forwarded to steamboat in terests, commercial clubs and business men of the Willamette Valley, asking for their views as to the probable in crease in commerce if Congress de cided to install a system of dams and locks that will open the stream from Portland to Eugene, 160 miles. Major Mclndoe has Inaugurated the preliminaries pursuant to the provi sions of an act passed by Congress and approved June 25, 1912. providing for an examination of the river from Ore gon City to Corvallis, 115 miles, and from the latter point to Eugene, with a view of providing a six-foot channel for the entire distance. While the im provement considered is for locks and dams, it is asked that propositions be submitted for co-operation on the part of the people of the Valley. Conicrena Most Be Convinced. Congress must be convinced that the increase In commerce will justify tho expenditure and property owners of the Valley will be expected to shoulder a part of the expense, probably through the formation of a taxable district, such as the Port of Portland. "On the Ohio River the( locks and dams Jiave been in use for a lengthy period and I am told that in places the river is backed up a distance of 70 miles and the current deadened," said Captain A. B. Graham, of the Oregon City Transportation Company, after re ceiving a copy of the letter. "On the Willamette a condition exists that only water transportation, available the year around and uninterrupted so far as channel depths figure, will remedy and that is the reclamation of low land that lines the stream, regarded by agriculturists as the richest of ail, yet now dormant because of lack of shipping facilities. Between cor vallis and Eugene Is plenty of such acreage and instead of crops it now bears willows. DrrdKlng Alone Will Hot Do. "Between Oregon City and Corvallis there Is more of the same character of land, but much of it is in use and those who even till the overflow acre age are the ones who provide early fruits and vegetables and those things that are In demand at canneries for pickling. But today we are handi capped by lack of water, because It is apparent that, dredging alone will not Temedy the defects, as the river bed changes so swiftly that a good road cannot be maintained. Virtually from June 1 to November 1 there is no traf ffic above Mission Landing. Salem is cut off from the benefits of water competition the same as Corvallis. Steamers cannot run at the season they are most needed, as it is during the Summer and early Fall periods that harvesting is on. "Besides special steamers must be constructed now to meet the condi tions, they being decidedly light draft and expensive to build. If there is a six-foot channel provided it will mean that deeper draft vessels can be used, which would be no benefit to our line, out allow persons who own such car riers to operate them on the run, as with an open river to Eugene there would be plenty of business for all. About 25 years ago steamers reached Eugene, but there has been no regular travel by large vessels for many sea sons. Lower Rates Would Follow. "The big benefit will be to shippers and the public in the way of rate re ductions. That is shown in a compari son between Eugene and Corvallis. The rail rate, first-class, from Portland to Corvallis. which is 89 miles by rail, is 2 cents on 100 pounds. The rail rate to Eugene. 124 miles. Is 46 cents on first-class shipments, the latter hav ing no benefit from water competi tion." Major Mclndoe has asked that all . Tesponses be forwarded to his office by October 31 and it Is expected that a strong effort will be made to reach every commercial body, so that the project may be fully comprehended and action taken, if necessary, io have the attention of the Legislature called to it and. if possible, to pass a bill in its interest. SHIPS MAY XOT GO XORTH American-Hawaiian Xot Decided on Disturbing Portland Service. In the opinion of C. D. Kennedy, Portland agent for the American-Hawaiian line, the steamers Isthmian. Lyra. Nevadan and Nebraskan, which are operating between Salina Crux and Portland, will not be diverted to Puget Sound to take care of the ship ments of salmon from Alaska that are destined for the Atlantic Coast and Europe. Such a step is said to have been decided on but Mr. Kennedy's In formation from the head office is that it is doubtful if the schedule will be established. The steamer Nevadan is due here to day and outbound business has been accepted for her, the sailing date be ing September 16, while on the Lyra, due September 25 and probably sailing September SO. more cargo has been booked, so those vessels at least will not go north. The new schedule for all vessels plying from New York and on the Pacific side as well, has not been decided, though the card from Kew York to San Francisco is in the hands of officials of the operating de partment officials. As the sugar sea son has ended in the Hawaiian group the big steamers turn back from Puget Sound, instead of going to Honolulu, they, should be able to carry the fish shipments. HEXRIETTE TO LOAD WHEAT Bark Coming From Antofogasta Gets Freight of 42s 6d. At 43s d the German bark Henri ette. which sailed from Newcastle, N. S. W.. August 8 for Antofogasta, was chartered yesterday to load wheat for Europe. She Is expected to be a Decem ber ship. There is no change reported in the freight market, owners holding for 42s Sd. and few asking higher, with steamers at 50 shillings. The first wheat to go aboard a foreign sailing vessel this season will be started Into the hold of the British bark Killarney at the elevator dock today, she having shifted yesterday from Linnton. The British ship Galgate may also start, as she finished discharging ballast at Lion ton yesterday noon. The German bark H. Hackfeld, which entered at the Cus-tom-House yesterday in ballast from Honolulu, will begin discharging at Linnton today. LAST QUARTER SHOWS GAIX Custom-House Figures Do Xot Fall Off With Poor Service. Portland is holding its own in the matter of imports and with a slight gain for the last three months over the period of 1911, the exact increase in duties paid being J373.97. A statement compiled at the Custom-House shows that in 1911 the duties for June were 167.282.84. for July S69.i73.31 and for August they were $65,702.63. For the same period this year June is credited with J57.476.20, a falling off. but in July S79.333.S5 was paid in and the August duties, were 165.832.70, a total of S202.632.75 as against S202.25S.78 in the 1911 quarter.

MAY CHARTER TOXXAGE SOOX Independent Steamers Cut Into . Trade of Regular Carriers. Discussion of the possibility of a rate war on wheat shipments from Portland to California ports being in augurated by the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company, because certain steam schooners are carrying that cargo for 25 cents a ton less, has brought out that consideration may be given by the Harriman line officials to the practicability of chartering steam schooners to be used on the run ex clusively for freight in opposition to the independent vessels. The same situation exists today as was heralded early in the season in the way of southbound shipments, and that is the regular steamers are turning away cargo every voyage. Besides no special efforts are being made to ob tain new business. There has been no official confirmation of reports that the Harriman family will build new steamers for the service, though a ru mor .has been afloat for months, so with large carriers such as the Navajo and Camino in the field, the latter car rying more wheat south on one trip than the Bear and Beaver could carry Jointly, it looks as some move will be made to provide tonnage. LUMBER SHIPMEXTS HEAVY During August 38 Vessels and Two Rafts Leave Lower Columbia. ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 11. (Special.) During the month of August 32 vessels loaded at the mills in the Lower Co lumbia River district and their com bined cargoes amounted to 30,491,000 feet of lumber.

In -addition to these cargoes, one raft, containing 6,000,000 feet of logs, and another, with 8,000,000 feet of pil ing, were towed to California. Mat sons to Build Big Steamer. SEATTLE. Sept. 11. The "Matson Company announces that it - has de cided to build a modern : 6000-ton steamship for the Seattle-Hawaiian line. This boat will be in addition to the liner now under construction for the San Francisco-Hawaiian run and which is of 8000 tons. The new boat will carry 100 passengers first cabin. Marine Xotes. Unless delays are responsible the new steamer Grahamona, of the Yel low Stack Line, will begin operations September 30, first running between Portland and Dayton, and the steamer Pomona will be sent to the yards for an overhauling. .
