HAMMOND TAKES A HAND
,. i ,
Mikea Impcartaot Suffestltos A to
Aitorta't Duty-Committee Ap
polntel to Ccnfei WltB
Mr. Mohr.
Paul M.hr, manuger for the Central
Navigation Company, which la con
structing the portage road near Tne
Oull'-a for the purpose of making con
nection for a boat line from the Inland
Empire to tide water, met with the
Chamber of Commerce In thla city yea
terday afternoon for the purpose of lay.
Ing before that body hla plans.
1'oaalbly It would be mora appropri
ate to aey that the members tjf the
Chamber of Commerce met with Mr.
Mohr. aa It waa due to a desire on
the part of Aatorian to know exactly
what Mr. Mohr a company propoacd to
do thut Mr. Mohr waa aaked to bi pres
ent- . .
The 'outcome of the conference. An
substance, waa the appointment of a
committee comnosvd of Hamuel E.-
more. F. L. Parker and F. J. Taytor to
confer with Mr. Mohr and ascertain
the exacr atatua of mattera aa relate to
Astoria aa a pr.wpcctlve terminal point.
1 he committee waa appointed upon the
euggesUon of Mr. Mohr. who slated
that he believed it to be tho better part.
of wisdom aa well aa protection for his
company not to advertise broadcast the
Intentiona and pulley of the people
whom he represented. Mr. Mohr waa
frank to ray that the O. R. be
ing the one transportation line to be
materially affected by the competition
of the Central Navigation Company'a
line, would naturally take advantage
of all Information Ita offlcera , and
agents might be able to secure.
The meeting waa attendej by about
forty of the heaviest taxpayer and
moist prominent elilic-nj of the city.
Chairman Van Dusen intrisluced Mr.
Mohr to the aasemb!ge and Invited
the gentleman to make a abatement
explanatory of ' hla piol-osl'lon.' the
atatua of work, and whatever might
have direct bearing upon the matter
under consideration. Mr. Mohr pro-
ceded to explain tha obtjota of the
road and entered Into a lengthy pre
aentatlon of details relative to the
merit a of the enterprise. When he had
concluded a general dlscuaaiou was
opened by D. II. Wtlcn who Inquired
of Mr. Mohr concerning rates on wheat
ahlpmenta. Mr. Mohr aaid It waa rath
er premature to Ox rates at this time
and again expressed the belief that
more satisfactory conclusion could be
arrived at through a oommiuee.
Charlea W. Fulton favored the ap
pointment of a committee and later on
hla suggestion waa adopted.'
,A. U. .Mammond took aa Important
part In the discussion and many Im
portant suggestions were made by blra.
Mr. Hammond aaked Mr. Mohr several
pointed -questions concerning his enter
priser the principal point made being In
relation to the probability of Astoria
b4ng made the lower terminal of the
line.
Mr. Mohr replied that the matter of
terminal polnta would neceesarlly be de
termined by the advantages offered. He
aaid his company could not entertain
the proposition of making Aatorla a
terminal unless facilities were provided
here for handling the wheat.
'Suppose we should bring; the wheat
to Aatorla." he aaked. ''what would
you do with ttT"
This waa a poser and precipitated a
lengthy dlKcuaslon aa to way a and
means for handling the conslgnmcnta.
Mr. Hammond took, the , lloor and
stated that It waa useless for Aato
rlana to expect to reap any direct bene,
fit a from the line unless warehouses
were constructed. If warehouse facil
ities were supplied there could, be no
question that Aatorla would have a
great advantage over Portland, as
ships could save a 300-mila trip and
the Incidental expenses of towage, etc.
If Mr. Mohr would guarantee to land
wheat In Astoria aa cheaply as at
Portland the common-point problem
would. In a measure, be solved. He
waa satisfied that with the assurance
that auch rates would be aiven. there
would be no question aa to the Imme
diate erection of warehouses of suffi
cient capacity to accommodate all the
wheat that would reach here.
Mr. Mohr, in reply to a question from
Mr. Hammond, stated that hla com
pany had secured contracta from the
wheatgrowers In the Northwest guaran
teeing a minimum total shipment of
1 30.000 tons of wheat, or about 4.000,000
bushels. The Mitchell Warehouse
Company, of Portland.' .he said, -had
agreed to either atore or buy out
right the entire shipment. The com
pany, therefore. In justice to Itself,
would be obliged to exact equally ad
vantageoua ternia from Astoria,
Mr. Elmore asked Mr. Mohr If any
considerable quantity of ,' wheat waa
stored ,tn Portland warehouses at any
given time. Mr. Mohr stated that he
was not In a position to give figures
and Mr. Hammond proceeded to an
swer the nuestlon in the amrmatlve.
The "warehouse facilities at Portland,
said, he,- were far superior to those on
the Sound, which explained the large
shipments of grain from Portland. The
grain shippers, said he, are not particu
lar as to the point at which a vessel
la loaded. What they want is facili
ties for storing tho grain while awaiting
shipment. - ' '
Mr. Hammond stated that he was
willing to do aa much and even more,
if necef-sary, than any Individual pres
ent In behalf of the nstruetlon of
warehouses In this city.
After a lengthy informal dlncusslon
the meeting adjourned, the committee

being requested to meet with Mr. Mohr
at the earliest possinin date.
After the close of the conference. Mr.
Mohr waa interviewed by an Aato
rian representative.
In reply to a qu-stlon relative to the
time operation would bt-gun by
the c'omiMtny, Mr. Mohr tvplicl that It
was the Intention to make the flravt
trip not later than the middle of Au
gust. The first load of wheat will go
to Portland.
The portage road la completed ex
cept a portion of the upper Incline at
point nearly oppo't Celllo. Thla
can Ij completed witnin a lew naya.
Delay In the work haa been caused by
high water. The principal cauae for de
lay In the beginning of operatl ma,
however, ha been due to the fact that
the boiler for one of the boats have
not yet xfsn completed. The Billings
will be Inspected on Friday of next
week and her trial trip will be held
Immediately, The run will be made be

GEO ROE HUME TALKS SALMON.
Expresses Hla Opinion aa to the Duty
of the Next LegiaUlure.
George W. Hume, the veteran can
nery man. Is In the city. Mr. Hume
waa aeen at the Occident hotel yester
day by an Aatorian reporter. When
asked as to bla viewa concerning the
present situation. Mr. Hume aaid he
"didn't know a thing."
"I have been In the fishing bualnesa
all my life." aaid he. "and the longer
I continue In It the more I am con
vinced that I know nothing of the bus!
ne at a It."
Mr. Hume could not suppress a smile
as he aaid this. But. growing m
serious, he said:
"1 believe that the fish traps, the
tlxh wheele and the seines should be
prohibited by law. and the next legl
lature will act In the interest of the
ashing Industry at large If it prohibits
further operation for a few years.
"Do you mean to aay that you are
In favor of stopping all fishing save
by glll-nets?" wa asked.
' Yes. sir." waa the prompt reply.
