A startling showing of the amount of Portland business handled via Puget sound was followed by positive ex pression on the part of the Portland contingent that goods which cannot be shipped direct from Portland should be sent via Astoria at the mouth of the river rather than around by Puget sound, there to be loaded aboard ship. A considerable proportion of Puget sound's growth has been through handling business originating in the Columbia basin, business which should have gone through Portland out of the mouth of the Columbia river had it followed tha natural course and had the railroads made advantageous rout ings and rates. Will Stand Together. .A committee was appointed to draw up the resolution expressing the de termination of Portland and Astoria to stand together in behalf of the com merce of the Columbia basin. It con sists of J. N. Teal. Nathan Strauss, George B. McLeod. Mr. McLeod, who is chairman of the Astoria committee, and president of the Astoria port commission, submitted a statement which makes convincing showing of conditions that take com merce from the Columbia to Puget sound. He told of numerous ship ments made from Portland via Puget sound that should have gone out of the Columbia river. "Extra charges for stevedoring. "Extra expense for coaling. "Kxtra port charges water pilot age, etc." Discrimination More Important. These are three of the causes of waning commerce on the Columbia river, said Mr. McLeod. He mentioned greater: "But above and beyond all these ex pense matters, there is the discrimi nation of the rail transportation com panies against the Columbia river." ' After mentioning some definite In stances of freight moving via the sound, Mr. McLeod added: "Tha more freight moved via the sound, the more entrenched will be come the business. Only in excep tional cases can a lumber shipment stand a charge of $5 per thousand to move it to point of embarkation.

How long can our river mills stand it?" Has to Divide Revenues. As a conclusion, the chairman of the Astoria committee said: "What we must have is the interest of some railroad in the Columbia river route. At present we have none. The railroad that should favor it, namely the S., P. & S., is apparently not run for its own benefit, but it would seem to hold a location, while one of its owners does all the business it can at Tacoma, and the other at Seattle, and one in the list of S i JT7 has been awarded the isomaL-IaisSals The Highest Award Possible 28 Pickled Onions 29 Stuffed Mangoes 30 Pickled Walnuts 31 Queen Olives 32 Manzanilla Olives 33 Stuffed Olives 34 Pure Olive Oil 35 Tomato Ketchup 36 Tomato Chutney 37 Chili Sauce 38 Tomato Relish 39 Mushroom Ketchup 40 Walnut Ketchup 41 Mustard Ketchup 42 Mustard Dressing 43 Pepper Sauce 44 Mandalay Sauce 45 Worcestershire Sauce 46 Prepared Mustard 47 Powdered Mustard 48 India Relish 49 East Indian Chutney ' .50 Evaporated Horseradish 51 Sweet Red Peppers 52 Pure Malt Vinegar 53 Pure Cider Vinegar 54 White Pickling and Table Vinegar 55 Spiced Salad Vinegar 6 Dill Vinegar 57 Tarragon Vinegar BELONGING TO PORTLAND ATION l,45qax h,400,0OO ITSOfiOO loopoo KOOQOOO MOfioo isapoo. 00,000, 38QOOOJ SOOfiOo 450,000) i 40Q000 380,000 250,400 200,000 ISOtOOO, 100,000 1 each is opposed to giving anything to the S., P. & S., because it then has to divide with the other. The Union Pacific system works strongly via San Francisco bay, and even through Portland to Puget sound. It certainly is not favoring the Colum bia river route, although Obviously it is to its interest to do so. Should Demand Parity of Sates. "Thus the bulk of the traffic moves either by roundabout way or over mountain ranges to and from the sea board, while the natural, economical FEDERAL AND ESPEE OFFICIALS PROMISE TO ADVERTISE LAKE Stop-Over Privileges and New Routings May Be Given Oregon Tourists, Medford, Or., August 26. That he Southern Pacific will not only adver tise Crater Lake more extensively, but that the motor trip to the lake will be included in the regular round trip transportation, and that the Interior department in Washington will conduct a publicity campaign incorporating this great scenic wonder, were some of the important facts brought to Med ford yesterday afternoon by E. O. AlcCormick, vice-president of the Southern Pacific railroad and Stephen Slather, assistant secretary of the In terior on their return from a trip to Crater Lake. Mr. Mather said: "There is every advantage in having "matters so ar langed that Medford and Klamath Falls can co-operate in this tourist travel. No one wants to go .to any park and return over the sme ground. Everyone who comes in at Medford should return via Klamath, and every one who comes in at Klamath should return via Medford. I am sure the railroad will have coupons on their tickets reading that way, and will al low the traveler to continue his Jour ney at either point. "Mr. McCormick was tremendously impressed by the lake and gave as surance that the Southern Pacific will get behind it, as it never has done be fore. They will have coupons on their round trip tickets which will Include the transportation to the lake at a cer tain added charge." river grade route is getting only that business that cannot be diverted. "To remedy this situation the city of Portland should demand of the Spo kane, Portland & Seattle railway a parity of rates to and from all tidewa ter points on the river, with those ex isting to and from the sound to In land Empire and Intermountain com mon points." COST OF "PLANTING" TROUT BY STATE IS SAID TO COME HIGH (Continued From Page One) fish and game commission at Salem after the meeting Tuesday last, that Mr. Clanton was to take up his resi dence at Bonneville, where he could be close to the hatchery. It was also stated, in a casual way, that there had been some inclination on the part of certain members of the commission to criticise the business management of the hatcheries of the state, and it was mentioned, also casually, that there seemed to be a shortage in fish propa gation, one of the reasons but not the principal reason for the hostility of part of the commission towards Mr. Clanton. Hgnres Are Furnished. During the past year 5,629,710 trout fry have been liberated in the streams of the state by the fish and game com mission, according to the fragmentary figures obtainable. To hatch, propa gate and distribute these fry has cost more than ' $25,000. When liberated these fry have weighed approximately 10 grains each, and have measured from one to one and a half Inches long. It is easy to estimate therefore that each fist cost the state at the time of distribution $.0044 each, or $3.08 a pound averdupois. But it estimated by the commission that 80 of the fry liberated die or become the food of larger fish, so that out of the total number liberated only 20 grow to maturity. - Twenty per cAt of 6,629,710 fish makes a total of 1,125,942. It is therefore easy to figure that each fish which, according to the estimate of the commission, reaches maturity, costs the state $.022. or, car rying the calcuation further, $16.40 the pound at the time of distribution. Poor Count Is Alleged. Most of the trouble, however, has sprung up over the $.055 fish. When the fry are distributed, they are loaded into big cans at the hatchery, and, each can is supposed to contain 500 fry. The total amount of the distri bution is based upon this shipping es timate. Rumor has it, however, that Instead of shipping out 500 fry to the can the master fish warden and his employes only shipped an average of 200 fish to the can. It was the discovery of this fact that started the row. Now 200 Is two fifths of 500. And two fifths of 5,629,710, the master fish warden's estimate on the basis of 500 fish to the can, is 2,251,834 fry, the number it is charged were actually distributed over the state. Twenty per cent of this number is 450,376 fry, the number of fish that it Is estimated will reach maturity. So it is easy to arrive at the conclusion that if It cost more than $25,000 to propagate and distribute that number, each fish cost $.035, or $38.50 a pound. Government Results Shown. It is contended most earnestly that this is too high for fish. And it is pointed out that the government fish hatchery raised 1,700,000 fry last year for $2500. or $.0014 per fry. practically one fourth of the lowest estimated cost of state production. When it was discovered that trout were worth $38.50 per pound in money expended, there was a vast turmoil in the commission. It was insisted that Clanton hand in his resignation. Gov ernor Withycombe grew hostile at the suggestion. The master fish warden stands well with the lower river fish ermen, and that section of the state has been pretty peevish over fiih com mission appointments during the re cent past. So, rather than to stir up the ani mals, the difficulty was compromised. Mr. Clanton, in deference to the gov ernor's wishes, was not discharged, but was exiled to Bonneville, with instruc tions to bring about reforms In busi ness management and fish culture. In an attempt to reduce the price of trout below $38.50 the pound. Arabic Carried Gold. Liverpool, Aug. 26. (I. N. S.) Re ports that the White Star liner Arabic v.as carrying gold to J. P.
