Editor Morning Astorlan: I notice that May SO has been fixed for ue opening of the Celilo portage and that delega.tlonA from Portland and Lewtston will attend the "drlv Ing of the last spike." I have not. though, seen any account of Astoria's intention to honor that epoch-marking event. Why does not the chamber ot commerce get busy? Why, Indeed? That Celilo portage potentially lib erates Astoria and the Columbia bnsln wheat growers from the thralldom. ot the railway, wheat pool combination that has long levied tribute by pre venting a common point rate on wheat to Astoria. It now only n?eds harmon ious action between Astoria and the wheat growers to secure results. As torla wheat buyers and ship charterers. a line ot river barges and railway ra tion elevators east of the Caicade will do the business as should be plain to all observers. fcut, some may say, If wheat will bring several cents more (through cheaper ocean charters) at Astoria, by barge delivery, why will not the wheat gravitate there on the law of self- interest in its owners? Why? Simply because a graft Interest of the Wilcox wheat pool (the sole buyer of Colum bia wheat) Induces that concern td de liver the wheal at Portland. That wheat pool, composed of all the regu lar wheat buyers of the basin, organ ized Into six great corporations, owns all the elevators and can dictate to the wheat growers arbitrary prices so long as present common point condi tions exist What it loses as owner of the wheat It more than makes up in the reduced price it pays th farm er. The key to the situation for As toria and for the producer Is to secure a rival bayer at Astoria, a result made possible by the Celllo portage. I notice that A. B. Hammonds Is courting a 110,000 assessment on his Irig avenue blocks. He would not, I think, do this unless he were ready to fight for common point rates for Astoria, whereby fter population (and renters) would, soon be doubled and hie investment Justified. A. B.. like Joey Bagsroek, is "de-ve-lish sly." He has but to lead the movement for an "opm river to the sea" through a barge and elevator company In order to secure this great boon, which would break the railway combine against Astoria. A half doren big wheat grow. ers can do the same thing that A. B. could do. Will Astoria Mg-t a move on?" STDXET DEIA.
