SUGGESTED
CAPTAIN JONES TELLS OF THE
PRESSING URGENCY FOR TRANS
PORTATION FACILITIES ALONG
OREGON SHORE OUT OF ASTORIA.
Captain Robert Jones, of the Elmore
motor packet Evie, one of the test au
thorities hereabout on the south coast
trade as it applies to this port, ha ad
dressed the following timely sugges
tion .o the Astoria Chamber of Com
werce for consideration and such action
as may be deemed necessary in the
premise; and it is likely to bear fruit,
since it is practicable and holds a dis
tract promise of profit:
"Astoria, Ore., Jan. 2, 1908.
"To the Chamber of Commerce,
"Astoria, Oregon.
"I wish to make a few remarks, which
I think if given the proper attention
wouH be ol some benefit to the City of
Astoria, a:.d would be a Godsend to the j
oast counry ?outh of the Columbia
li'er for n distance of about 80 miles,
where we find the Xehalem Eiver, Tilla
mook Iiay, Ketarts Bay, Xetucca River,
Salmon River nnd Siletz River, most all
f which are sally reflected in the way
of trausirii!ion. All of these small
rivers anl bays aic at the present time,
nd onu of them will be for years to
tome, the inly oitlet from the richest
trip of couulry in the State of Oregon.
Ti'himook county today is the largest
dairy producer in this state, although
nly a small percentage of the rich bot
tom lamjs which border all of these
treams, are as yet in a state of culti
ration, the main drawback to all of
these ports being the lack of transpor
tation. The Salmon River country
promises a bright future in both daily
nd fruit products. This rich little val
ley lies directly south of Tillamook coun
ty in Lincoln county and the merchant
and farmers of this country have to
haul the merchandise and products over
a mountainous rood to and from Sheri
dan, a point on the S. P. R. R.. a dist
ance of about 30 utiles. Some of them
drive their sheep to this place and shear
them there and drive back again in order
to get their wool to market.
"There has been a steamer in and out
of Salmon River and also Xetarts Bay,
but it was years ago, when the country
was not near so thickly settled as it
is now. There are thousands of dollars
worth of freight in your Astoria ware
houses for Tillamook and other ports
above mentioned, some of which has
been here for several months, and at
the present time freight shipments from
Portland for these pointa have been or
dered held there until the warehouses
here are cleared out. The idea came to
me the other day when the Chamber of
Commerce was working for the Astoria
& Oriental Steamship proposition, that
it would be well for the business men
ft Astoria who are looking for invest
ments along this line, to initiate them
selves, in the bu-iness by getting to
irether and build a boat suitable for this
trade and supplying a long-felt want
right here at home before branching out
on such a large scale.
"The depth of water at the entrance
of these places, range from 8 to 18 feet,
at high tide and it would be a good
paying investment to build & boat that
would carry about 100 tons on a depth
of seven feet and would also be a great
aid to the development of a new coun
try, and unless there is a suitable boat
built and operated on these waters, the
adjoining country is bound to be held
back.
'Four years ago I was instrumental in
thg little gasoline schooner Delia being
placed on the Astoria and Xestueca River
run, which place at that time was in
the same position as some of the above
named, without a regular boat, and since
that time shipments in and out of
Xestueca lias increased to more than
double and this last yean the Delia had
he rhamls full to handle the business
carrying out of these about 10,000 cases
of cheese with other products, and carry
ing in between six and seven hundred
tons of merchandise, and next year she
will not be able to handle the business
from this one place alone. And there is
no reason why these other places should
not enjoy the same prosperity as
Xestueca, in fact there is a chance for a
big improvement in all of these place.
"Quite a number of the merchants
doing or trying to do business in these
places are willing to put up what money
they can spare to help build this boat
provided she will slay with them. 1
think the merchants of Astoria should
come together and make a special etrort
to co-operate with these people and build
this boat and also establish a wholesale
house here in Astoria and supply the
bulk of this trade.
"I have made a study of the shoal
bars, and I think the plans for one which
I have just completed are about the
right thing for such places, and 1 would
le pleased to show and explain the same
to any one who may be interested
enough in this proposition to call on me.
'Tours most respectfully,
"ROBERT JOXKS."
