CHARLES HEILB0RN 8 SON 590-592 Commercial St. What Portage Rpad Means Views of Railroad Man On Inter esting Transportation Prob lem Affecting Astoria. The ralt portage railway project, about which so much la printed In the various Oregon papers at present, la n-t well understood In Ita probable efforts by all. A gentleman who la well UP In northwest transportation affairs, and especially thorn relating to the In terests of Astoria, ha this to say of the pn: : . "The efforts of the corporate InUntwU of Orcgun to defeat the portage rail way appropriation made at the last aes slon of the legislature, through the me dium of the referendum, are watched with much Interest in thla city. W. J. Cowglli, formerly of Astoria, la the principal agitator In the schema to de feat the legislative act. The furor that bis campaign has caused but had the effect of placing him before the public In anything but an enviable light, and It develops that Mr. Cowglli does not rut much lie In Baker City, where ha now resides, as a result. The portage road appropriation Is the most Important legislative fund thut has ever been set aside, U will create .opposition for the present grain rirrylng lines down the Columbia river, affording water competition with them. The present rate are so high that the portige road will effect by force a very material reduction and ft Is thla fart which haa aroused the railroads to ac tion.. If the road is built the producers of a vast territory will be released from their present bonduge. ' - . "Construction of this road promises gl so to have a decided effect on Astoria harbor. If the road is built, rate will come down with a gratifying thud. Now, lower railroad rate on grain mean that the sound roads will be un able to compete with the Columbia riv er road the O. It. tc N. branch of the Harriman system. Ergo, the sound roads must find an outlet at the Colum bia river's mouth. In anticipation ot the construction of the portage road, the Northern Pacific, with characteris tic enterprise, has prepared for the ex tension of Ita line down the north bank ot the Columbia, to the river's mouth, where ample harbor facilities are avail able. When the Northern cornea to the Columbia's mouth, the Harriman line must do likewise. To use good, plain English, whenever the Northern cornea down the north fork of the Columbia or the south bank, either, for that matter-the Harriman system will of neces sity eonw to Astoria. it wll be seen that the portage road will have a far-reaching effect on trans portatlon conditions in the northwest. At pres-snt the three northwestern rallroal are enjoying the blessings of high rate but the combination could not be maintained with" water competi tion from the dallea of the Columbia river to the sea. This competition would be compelled to meet the reduc tion. Thla reduction would make It Im possible for the sound roads to haul grain at anything but a dead lose over their heavy grades Into Seattle and Ta coma, and they would be compelled to seek a Columbia outlet. "Any Astorlan who would attach his signature to Co gill's petition would b a traitor of the first water. The port age road appropriation was made lor the benefit of the producers, who have long submitted to extortion, and ita de teat would be a public calamity. "It Is interesting in thla connection to note that the toll exacted for carry ing griln to Portland, Seattle and Ta coma from the wheat fields exceeds the charge on grain from Chicago to Liverpool, For this reason 'the three north wistern roads, while owned by hostile Interest, are content with the prfsent divisional arrangement." IT IS BASEBALL TODAY. At 2:30 p. m. today the Astoria base ball team ahd the Cathlamet Suna will cross bat On the local Held. The As toria team ta .composed, of the. best payers Intheclty and the boy expect to win from the visitors by a close marln. The Suna are equally san guine' of victory, so a stirring contest Is in store for those who attend. The loBt game played by the two teams resulted In a score of 17 to T In favor of the Cathlamet men, ao they can hardly be blamed for being confident that they will win today. However, there will be a eturprlse in store for them In the makeup they wll be up against this afternoon, for the . locals have been reorganized and the field Is one which may b more equally con futed on.

Agreflt many Astorlane are making preparations to be In Portland on the occasion of the visit of President Roose velt. A large percentage of the peo ple of the country are never afforded an opportunity of seeing & real president, and the public M making the most of thla opportunity. . The patriotic desire to be In the presence of the ruler of the republic prevades the atmosphere here, and Astoria will be well represented at Portland when the presidential party arrives. Astorlans sincerely regret the failure of Ihe Oregon congressional dele gatlon to have their city included In the itinerary of the president, but they will make the beat of matters and go to Portland to Join in Oregon' big wel come.

Result of Hatcheries' Operations Will Be Shown In This - YeaVsWork. The benefits of artificial prpagatlon wll be detrmlned during the present itching season In a more satisfactory manner than ever before. Results in past years have been gratifying, but thlr year's supply of flsh ought. In the natural order of things, be far In ex cess of that of 1902. In view of the lesson that will be taught by this year's supply, the outcome of the season's work 1 awilted with Interest. The first big hatchery run occurred In July, 1001. Then, It will be remem bered, salmon swarmed the river. Clll netters returned to the canneries with boatload of fine fish, while the seines and trap took countless ton. That the fish were propagated at the state hat'.-herles waa positively demonstrated ed by the number of marked fish taken. Last year's supply -was also very good, although there was not the congestion that occurred In 1301. : f The hatcheries have turned out more small fish with each succeeding season, and' the supply this year ought to be greater than that of lartt year. That the run will materialize is firmly be lieved by those who have followed the progreet made in artificial propaga tion. The hatchery fish are not ex pected to make their appeerance In the river for ?ome time to come, but when they appear flenermen will reap a harvest. . r ... , The supply of salmon la now very short. The season opened up well enough, but after the first two week there came a slump that has lasted ever since. Receipts at all the pack ing housjs are very light, and "no fish" Is the common reply to inquiries re garding the extent of the supply. The fluh which are being caught, however, are of fine quality, and all the large ones are pickled for shipment abroad. Some of the cold-storages are picking underslxed fish to suppy the less faa tldou markets. None of the canneries are operated except for a short time dally, the employes being engaged al most wholly In the manufacture of can, preparatory to the anticipated rush latsr on. The glllnetters are taking practically all of the fish now being caught, re ceipts from other sources being Incon sequential. The prevailing price for salmon weighing 15 pounds and . over is I cents, while for smaller fish t cent Is paid. . The Increased facilities for handling flsh this season would tend to make the supply appear smaller than usual, and final figures will be necessary to give the general public a line on the actual extent of the run of solman. Should heavy runs occur during the season, the pack of canneries and cold storages will be much heavier than during 1902. as greater quantities of fish con be handled. Fiahermen and packer ailke are hopeful for the success of the season's work, despite the unsatisfactory sup ply at the present time. CHARGES NOT SUSTAINED. Abraham Branlund. against "whom two charges have been pending In the court of the Justice of the peace, was finally discharged from custody yester day by Justice Goodman, both charges belnj dismissed. The first charge, that of obtaining goods under false pretenses, could not be. sustained, as It devjloped that he had purchased the iroods from Mr. Sculley on credit, and, while hi subsequent action in the evldene troughtqulb. hafFunuETAEt matter could hardly be considered as strictly square dealing, there was no evidence brought forward to prove that anything Illegal had been done. The charge of attempting to obtain money under false pretenses likewise fell fiat. Branlund hod not attempted to pass a check either for cash of goods. F. D. Wlnton represented the defense.
