W, Q. Sickel, vice director and man
ager of freight and. operation of 'the
Hamburg-American line, while , in Port

' So far as the steamship companies are

The finest vessels of the Hamburg
American line can. and will come to
Portland If there is 35 to 40 . feet of
water on the bar and. 30 feet from port-
land to the sea.
Until ' the 30-foot channel to the sea
is established a direct line to the orient
will not be seriously considered by the
Hamburg-American company; with a
30-foot channel a direct line will be
seriously considered.
The making .of through rates to the
orient from the Interior via Portland is
not up to the steamship company; it is
up to 'the railroads. The Hamburg
American line has given Portland regu
lar ship service. - It will not tie itself
up with any railroad comrany, but be
lieves that rate$ as favorable as be
