There la plenty of freight to be had on the upper Columbia river to keep a line of steamers running regularly be tween Lew Is ton and the Portage road, and I do not understand why some enter prising company oea not make arrange ment to go after It The objection ap pear a td be that there are no-boats available for 'the route.

He has been farming on the Waahlngten elde of ".the river near Wallula for many years and now that the Portage road la completed he Is anxious to see It used, believing It would be the means of saving the wheat growers and others up that way thou sands of dollars annually If water transportation were at hand. Oreat quantities of grain are shipped te Port land every year from the territory lying north of the river and opposite Umatilla. - But we are- greatly handicapped." continued Mr". : Martin, "when we are forced to eblp by rail. It la neceaeaxy to have our cropa 'transported by fsrry at Wallula In order to reaoh the rail road. This charge le SO cents a. ton. As an example of what thla little ferry tax amounta to, I might cite an ex ample: It cost one of my neighbors S600 to get 18.000 sacks of wheat across the river so that he could Place the ship ment on cars. "' '' "If beats were In commission on the upper river it would do away with the necessity of hauling all of the grain to Wallula It could be taken to various landings which -woiild be . established along the north bank of the river. With that plan )n operation It would be an easy matter -to get our wheat to the boats, aa there is natural down grade f rom the farm tanda to' the Columbta. But when- the freight haa to be all hauled to one point aa la now necessary, we have to drive up' steep hills and cross deep canyone before Wallula la reached. On the other hand, to go direct to-the river we . would be "going down grade, and It would be possible for us to put on ou wagona all of the train they would carry. So that ' is another Im portant Item of cxpenae that would be saved.". - ( NATIONAL EDITORS START FOR HOME TONIGHT ' A special train' carrying the National Editorial .association will leave Port land tonight at o'clock- over "the 'Ora 3aroad Navigation company's for jOgden, and -Denver, The party will ba accompanied through Oregon by R.
