Delay means big losses THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, HELTEHBEK 81, 1V13. CHAMBER APPEALS TO MAJOR MDOE II J "?wNa. X 1 I Economies Must Come From Devel- opraent of Natural Channel of Commerce, Declares Letter to Government Engineer. The Chamber of Commerce has made an exhaustive argument to Major J. F. Mclndoe why the Pacific Northwest should receive a full, unobstructed channel at the mouth of the Columbia by the arrival of heavy Panama Canal traffic. At the time of recommending- to the Port of Portland appropriation of $600, 000 for maintaining- and accelerating work by the Federal Government at the mouth of the river, the Chamber emphasized the profound need of speedy action. This arg-ument has been amDlified. and delivered to the Major, appealing to him to do what he can in having the Corps of Engineers approve larger immediate work. All the losses sustained through shipping Columbia basin products across high mountains are suggested. All the economies that must come from development of the natural channel for commerce, also are rjresented. The fact that the Federal Govern ment now owns timber in the North west worth from $450,000,000 to J750. 000.000, and an immense proportion of this Is so situated that It will be en hanced in value and benefited by open ing the Columbia for the great ships of commerce, is given prominent place in the argument. In addition to this. the Chamber points to the probable farm yield of the Columbia baBln in the near future, the route for moving the great lumber exports, the enormous acreage of vacant land that could ac commodate the American horde going to Canada, and the potential water power which must soon commence to Influence Western Industry. Letter In bent to Mclndoe, Following Is the letter sent to Ma jor Mclndoe: The Chamber of Commerce presents a few arguments that appeal to us as of vital merit In determining tho expenditure of public funds on the Columbia River bar and that stream and its tributaries. Based on the facts here urged, request will be made for larger Immediate outlays and taster construction. We feel profoundly the losses possible if deeper water Is not had during the formative days following the opentnr of the Panama Canal. We have suffered heavily from diverted traffic, imposing upon our shipping a heavy hand! cap In regaining Its own.

Tn Oregon there is a stand of 406,000. 000.000 feet of timber, perhaps more. In Washington, Idaho and that part of Mon tana draining to the Pacific, the total stand exceeds 1,000.000,000.000 feet of timber.

In Oregon alone about 4.000,000 acres of land are actually oultlvated. whereas there are ia.4O0.O00 acres pronounced tillable but not cultivated. The percentage in Idaho is equally great. and somewhat less in Washington. There Is room here for the American emigration to Canada for years to come, the 135,000 the stockyards has reached more thani tio.vw.uuu a year, ana is growing fast. Live stock men declare that In. one year Oregon has nearly doubled her hog stock, increas ing the swine herds from something more than 1.000,000 to 2,000,000.

Worth's record of growtn irom siu.uoo.ooo to 75,O00,000 In a ten-year period. All the future of this export trade is by the water route. Apples are shipped from the Northwest to the world. Last year 15.000 -carloads of apples were marketed. - Next year there under proper dry-farm methods of cult! vatlon. full irrigation, and reclamation of logged timber lands. Only by making these lands profitable to the farmer can the culti vator be drawn here. To make them profitable, the lowest possible charge for transportation must be had. All know that the Columbia is the line -affording this, which must be accepted and developed. On the Columbia and tributaries there sre 1664 miles which could be navigated by freight-carrying craft. Of this total, 1294 miles are navigable for limited reaches, be cause of inland barriers. When the Celilo Canal is finished, the first great work of decade or more. Government figures credit In wheat pro duction last year. Idaho 14,000,000 bushels, Oregon 21.000.000 bushels, Washington 83. 000.000. Montana 19.000.000 bushels, and Vtah 6.0O0.0O0 bushels. This Is 86.000,000 bushels for the three Northwestern States. Owing to the desire of the railway com panies to get loadings for empties from the Kocky Mountains westwsrd. rates are be ing put In which will bring much of the Montana wheat crop to this sea board. Assurance Is given by railway magnates that Montana, all of Idaho -and perhaps part of Utah will take the west ern route. When the Celllo Canal Is fin ished, the Columbia River will be th. su preme regulating power In the Northwest era rate field. Products grown distantly rrom it will ret the benefit of the water- compelled rate as soon as they reach the navigation xone of the river. Every bushel of wheat, more than 100.000,000 last year, wlll be affected. There Is a -wheat rate of .147 cents between Chicago and New York, over an area having a water-compelled reg ulation. The best present rate In the Co lumbia on wheat Is .75 cents a ton mile, as against th. .147 a ton mile where there Is water competition, the Columbia rate being five times higher. Apply this saving to the more than 10o.000.000 bushels of wheat that might profit by coming down the Co lumbia to the sea, and the return to the farmer and consumer is of Immense Im portant. These figures are from Gov ernment reports of last year's yield. All concede that wheat production In the Co lumbla Basin will leap with cheaper trans portation, cheaper lands and application of dry-farming methods, ss well as extended mn- factor in Northwestern wools reaching the East, and may determine whether they can compete at all with Aus tralia. Hay U a great and growing crop In tne Northwest. Lsst year Idaho proauced 1. 3MK0 tons; Oregon, 1.738.0O0: Washington, 1,707.000. a total of B.883.O00 tona Montana produced 1.216,000 and Utah l.oza.ovv ions, fully 8,000.000 tons of this total is affected In farm values by fscllities for reaching the market at the Pacific seaboard. If It is not all shipped, the demand of the outslds market controls. The natural and perpetual route Is along the Columbia, and all this hay moving or consumed on the farm bene fits by every cent reduction In transpor- tarlAR rharrafl tn tha Parific Commereial figures of the potato crop of the three Northwestern States last year, nearly 30,000,000 bushela A considerable percentage rotted In the ground or were fed to the hogs. At the same time, the Atlantle seaboard Imported heavily. Railway rates to the Atlantic were practically prohibitive. By opening the Columbia route, a market tor potatoes or their products could be made because of the lower cost of haul, and then these three state could produce 300. 000.0OO bushels without seriously interfer ing with other crops. Dairy products are fast becoming a spe cialty In the Northwest. Oregon's yield alone this year reached J17.000.000. and Washington's more. Competent experts have said Oregon could turn out $50,000,000 In dairy products snnually, at remarkably low figures, because of the perennial green feed. A market for this product must be bad by water, if the industry develops, Alsska, Hawaii and the Orient already being on the list of bidders. Speedy work In opening should be 80.0O0.

But this inland work is of no avail unless of the three states, the Columbia route be comes supreme. inrnisn Columbia and . a part of the inline wneac District or Canada can reach the sea on the line of the Columbia at the lowest cost or an transportation routes.

Revelstoke la committed to the Colum bia route. Unless the greatest vessels car rying the cereal can enter here at will, the Canadian friends of this route will become discouraged. In tho potential hydro-electrlo energy of the Columbia Basin and territory dependent upon the Columbian port, there Is a peer less asset. State Engineer Lewis, of Ore gon, places the commercial energy available In this state at 3,252.000 horsepower, and private engineers have put it above 6,000, 000. In the three states of Oregon. Wash ington and Idaho, and that part of Mon tana tributary to the Pacific the total when fully measured will certainly go to 10. OOO. OOO o- 12,000.000 horsepower. This energy a ruie may oe uunzea at very low cost. depart the Columbia without let or hind rance. Vessels drawing 23 te 25 feet of water enter the river now, the latter with risk of delav In stormy weather. The Coast manaeement of the Royal Mail frankly de Clares that the type of boat that line will put on the Coast run through the Panama Canal will not be permitted to come here unless much more water Is secured on the Columbia bar. The Holland-American line will not consider the. port until more water Is hsd. The American-Hawaiian has until the present refused to send here Its large vessels on tl:e xtorm racmc run, oecause of the Columbia bar. The Hamburg-American and the Royal Mail, in giving the port regular E-uropean and Oriental service. will not finish cargo here with anything except small vessels. They return to Puget Sound for the finishing load, thus depriv ing the Columbia of direct service, causing longer time in transport, greater Insurance and other Ills. It Is of the utmost im portance to this port, already suffering from unsufflclent water, to have the evil remedied at the earliest date that rational expendi ture of money will permit. If the great lines seeking North Paclflo connections fol lowing completion of the Canal once pass Industries are now studying it with pro th Columbia, the struggle to regain the found gravity. When low transportation charges on all the great boats of the Pa cific are to be had from the mouth of the Columbia, this stupendous asset will be brought nearer realization for material gain. Nitrate manufacturers and iron ore experts have the past year been gathering careful data on this energy and the transportation charge for products shipped out.

It was intended as a car that could be driven with satisfaction by the man who had owned only high priced cars. To realize this standard, it was necessary that every part of the car should be as excellent and ele gant as the parts of those big, high-priced cars. In design, in material, in workmanship, in finish, in grace and riding qualities in each essential the Herreshoff car must measure up to this high standard. Every Herreshoff car will be found to do so. . The Herreshoff car is not intended to appeal to the man who is seeking a low-priced product. It has a reputation to maintain. Its design embodies those features which have been successful in the best foreign and Ameri can cars. The Herreshoff car will do the work ordinarily required of the highrpriced car with equal satis faction, while entailing a much smaller initial outlay, smallev upkeep and smaller operating expense. And if is a silent, roomy,- easy-riding and comfortable car as well. Every part of the Herreshoff car is manufactured after Herreshoff 's own designs by expert spe cialists under his personal supervision. The car will be found to be exclusive in every detail.
