PORTLAND, Ore.. July 24.
(AP) Revival of the Columbia
river as a broad highway of com
merce with scores of steamers car
rying wheat cargoes breasting its
waters, was predicted here today
at the interstate commerce com
mies Ion grain rate hearing. Plans
for restoration of water bourne
commerce, said W. W. Hara, Pen
dleton farmer and chairman oT,
the transportation committee ot
the farmers' union of Qregon and
southern Idaho, rest ton estab
Ushemnt of the lowest possible
rail rate to Portland and sime
guarantee of its permanence.
Hara said he would like to have
the rate made immune to change
for twenty-five years if it is with
in the commission's power to do
so. j
For years, Hara said, efforts
have been made to utilize the Ce
Hlo canal on which the govern
ment spent millions of dollars.
Promises have been received Irom
steamship operators to establish
cervice to upper river points, the
Pendleman said. Farmers have
promised to build elevators on tho
Columbia river bank to facilitate
loading, but it all came to naught,
Hara related, because there was
no assurance that railroads would
not immediately lower their rates
to destroy the new competition.
If the lowest possible rate were
established on some permanent
basis, Hara continued, capital in
terested in the steamship and el
evator projects would have a
sound foundation on wmcn io
work.
Hara sees no disadvantage in
the longer time required by water
transportation of wheat. In fact,
he said, the farmer would gain
because of Increase of weight of
his grain through absorption ot
moisture Machinery, automobiles
and other manufactured products,
would furnish sufficient cargo for
the return trip up the river.
