'. .;. mm MONOPOLY FRMLY DOWN COLUMBIA IN i - I ' - 1 I By Marshall N. Dana j Let ua say that the date is Decem ber 18. 1925. j The season has been exceptionally prosperous throughout the Columbia basin. It has brought particular ad vantage to the wheat growing areas which border oh the Columbia and Snake rivers and also to Portland and Vancouver. j The two latter cities now one in lo cation and mutuality of interest show remarkable gains in population, port use and Industrial expansion. Their prog ress, as population centers is, in fact, equal ta the agricultural advance of tide Interior country. 1 The reasons are easy to find. Millions of bushels of grain were routed via the Columbia water grade to Portland and Vancouver immediately following : the effective date of the Columbia basin rate decision. ' This alone established more mills, brought more ships,) at tracted industries and. Incidentally, more people. The rate preferential hich the federal . commission ordered In recognition of the water grade ad vantage has prompted the development Of the Columbia basin in proportion to "the enlarged interchange of business between the interior arid its ports., JKEDISCOVEKV OP RIVEtt I J The advancement of power and Irri gation projects, such as the Columbia basin, John Day, Umatilla and others, juiso has had the effect of adding to the genuine wealth of the great country drained by the Columbia and of bene fiting ail interests. ! " Hut not the least .of all the forces powerful in building up business and Sagriculture and the towns and country of the Columbia basin is the rediscov ery of the Columbia river. ' ,J 'At no more distant date than Feb ruary 6, 1921, many a recognized au thority on transportation scoffed at the 'idea of organizing the land and the j river' into a great producing, and trans :jortaUon system.. I Hut those who ridiculed loudest are fbuMeBt In this year of 1925 turning the lieaulta of the system to their own ad- vantage. w ! ! How was it done? . In the first plaoe .some of the far i Kceing men of Portland, Vancouver and j the Columbia basin, who have always j urged that nature's waterway consti tuted ai utility and established a right which could not be gainsaid, matched their ideas with their dollars. They (organized the Columbia Basin Cooperative Wheat Shippers' associa tion. They analyzed the situation thor oughly and-put in enough capital to carry their plan to the success which is now attending it. BARGES BECOME WHARFS They accorded the smallest wheat farmer the same fairness and equality of opportunity that they did the largest investor. They put on the river powerful tow boats with barges ranging from 00 to 1200 tons carrying capacity. They ran the steamers and barges like railroad trains, spotting" the barges at loading and discharging points like freight "cars are "spotted." Kach "barge thus be came a' floating wharf and the shipper, could know certainly that on a certain day at a certain landing it would be there . ready for his . grain. And the inland merchant would know' with equal certainty that, the barges on upbound trips would- arrive within a definite period with his merchandise for prompt truck transfer to his store. Port districts were organized at im portant landings so that handling facili ties could, be provided out of the funds of the districts. The building of feeder roads for truck operation was success fully brought about on both the Oregon and the Washington sides of the Colum bia through the cooperation of the county and state highway authorities. URAIX COUNTIES OX BITER The agents of the association went directly to the wheat growers and con tracted with them for the handling of their crops. This r was easy, not only because the growers were members of the association, but because they could be talked to in the terms of dollars and cents economy. The growers were shown they saved II to $1.25 a ton from 3 to -4 cents a bushel on all grain handled by water and yet have a fair profit oh the opera tion of the boats, barges and trucks. Consulting the 1320 crop statistics compiled, by The Journal's market de partment, they found that a ottoud of. . Oregon counties Gilliam, Morrow, Sher-: man, Umatilla and Wasco close to the Columbia, produced 12,575,000 bushels of grain. The corresponding group of ' counties In Washmprton Benton, Colum bia, Douglas. Franklin, Klickitat,-Walla Walla and Yakima which edged on the river, produced In the same year 11, 143.000 bushels'of grain. Here were 23,718,000 bushels of grain, a large proportion of it within easy reach, of the river, that could be han-. died by a boat and barge system op erating only between Portland-Vancouver and Pasco-Kennewick. A saving of 3 cents a bushel meant an economy of 1700.000 to the growers. l.iOO.Ofii SATIS G By Including the wheat producing counties bordering on the Snake Asotin. Garfield. Whitman and Adams it . was found an extension of the service to Lewiston, Idaho, added 16,090,000 bushels of grain to the business presumably available. In other words, the grain production .between Portland-Vancouver and the head of navigation on the Snake was the startling amount of 39.S08.000 bushels, upon which, a .saving could be .accomplished through water transportation of more than (1,000,000. It was reoognized that on a certain proportion of this production the rail roads would have first claim because of established service and branch lines. But at the same time the railroad traf fic managers were ready to testify that 1 The Ampico The Wonder Piano Hear it at Seventh Floor. (I ' t? IT lTI if w'rhrT . - ' - ' ,1 VL ' ' jr. ' S they could never; compete with water transportation in ! handling : bulky, slow moving commodities either into or out of the interior. : An examination of the railroad rates In effect February 5, 1921, showed the following charges per ton to Portland : ; Arlington, $3.60 ; Heppner junction, $3.80; Umatilla, $4.10; Pendleton, $4.30; Walla Walla, $4.30; Wallula, $4.10; Ayer, $4.50; Riparia, $4.80; Swift. $5.40. On the very face of things it was clear that by hauling direct from points of production to the river and there loading aboard waiting barges, a first saving of $11 in warehouse charges could be applied to an increased length of truck haul, while the minimum saving of $1 a ton in freight rates in water transportation was net to the shippers. MATTER OF TIME In the question as to which would be the more important receiving point for the grain. Vancouver had the ad vantage of 14 miles in distance, but Portland, at the beginning of the serv ice, was the center of the jobbing houses looked to principally for shipments to the interior. ; , . After a preliminary experience, how ever, it is seen that these conditions adjust themselves naturally and both points get the added business to which .each is entitled. In the same way the boats and the railroads get the business of the interior which is natural to, each. The enhanced development of the coun try has shown ' a marked tendency to add to the tonnage the railroads were handling before the boat and barge sys tem was installed. Both Portland and Vancouver, have shown a commendable ; disposition to clear away-cluttery old docks and In stall efficient water terminal facilities equal to the demands upon them. After the boat system of wheat movement was placed in operation .there was never any further question of the value of the 1,000,000 bushel ; grain elevator at the St. Johns 'terminal and new elevator construction has taken place both at Portland and Vancouver. To return to 1921: Does the above seem fanciful? I.t him who runs read. That which the economy of nature directs should be done will be done. Small plans can only delay, petty competitive influence can only defer, lack of vision can only post pone the time when the advantages of the river and the land will fully profit the people of the Columbia basin. Coy ote, Driven to Bay With Truck, Is Held Lamb Slayer Roseburg Or., Feb. B. The coyote killed Thursday by Peter Ballf. who chased the animal down with a small truck on the highway east of the city, did much damage before his life was ended. It had been roaming in the vi cinity of . the tixon ranch, about six miles from here,' and killed a large namber of lambs belonging to -Ed Weir, leaving but five of 22. It also killed many, lambs- belonging to other resi dents in that . district. Thursday morning eight of the set tlers, with many dogs, started in pur suit of the animal. His trail Was picked up about o'clock, and for several hours he was .followed. He' doubled, circled and played every trick known, and at last, failing to evade his pursuers, f apparently decided to quit the country. The ' animal was about three miles ahead of the pack when it struck the mam highway, where Ballf took tip the chase in his truck, cornering the animal and kill; ing it with a rock.

V. Hulit, who wasitried in the mu nicipal court Saturday afternoons on a charge of cruel and inhuman treatment of a cow, was discharged by Judge Rossman. Hulit was alleged to have kept a cow in a 'lot at Thirty-seventh street and Sandy boulevard, where the animal was unprotected from the weather except for a packing case in which its head was kept while feeding. Out of 15 witnesses, all cattle men, who appeared in. court, only one testified that there was any thing at all cruel in the treatment to the cow. The other 14 said Hulit's method of keeping the cow was not particularly commendable, but that there was noth ing cruel about it. A blanket and tarpaulin were kept over ,the cow. Judge Rossman made a special trip to the lot where the cow had been kept and. was apparently satisfied with the conditions, for Hulit" was released The cow was taken in charge by the Humane society several weeks ago, when the case was first brought up. The court ordered the cow released, after Hulit stated he had provided a barn for hous ing it. Civil War Veteran, 89 Years Old, Dies At Home of His Son Forest Grove. Or., Feb. 5.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb. 5. -Rachel. Husband, a geology ma jor and a member of the paleontol ogy class, has qualified as a sculp tor. Her latest work: is a replica of a reconstrueted plesiosaur, a cousin of .the mosasaur, j which ., paddled through the deep seas of Kansas sev eral million years ago.' The replica is about five Inches long, formed of modeling clay. ; The original, according to Dr. Pack ard of the geology department, was more than 30 feet in length. The model shows the relative size of the great fins. evolved from feet to accommodate the reptile to the changing environment, and the elongated neck, which tapered out to triple-hinged jaws. Dr. Packard - ex plained that in all the fossil remains yet excavated there has ii been found nothing com por able to the many-hinged jaw of this ancient water lizard. . . Several fossilized bones of s. mosasaur. obtained by Dr. Condon, are on exhibl tion in the readjusted geology museum. These bones were - found In the chalk beds of Kansas, once covered by a great sea. Dr. Packard said jj the Rocky mountain uplift and the consequent dry ing up of the inland ' seas probably caused the extinction of the water adapt ed creatures, biologically in their old age. x v ii The plesiosaur and the mosasaur were formerly land-living animals, like huge lizards. The fossils embedded, in rocks, which can be seen in the geology muse um, show the peculiarly hinged jaw. Oregon camels and three-toed horses, engravings of flying fish in petographic prints.
