IHDI'S IKE M III GOING III Seaport Advantaged Seen for This City Now ;- Announcement Will to -; Made Thursday is ; ; Report Here . ; - Strong indication that freighting on the -Willamette river between Salem and Portland by means of barge, v a dream of river navigators , as well as manufacturers, ca ners, agriculturists and otb-. ere, will soon be an actuality. ' is contained in dispatches wt t ceived here Monday. . These . dispatches b r l b ar ; word that by Thursday of this week, a contract . for barga! navigation in the Willamette river will be announced, thia navigation to extend "to ' point above Oregon City, -which has been the head' f , heavy freight traffic on the river, neretorore. They add that the point above Oregon City" Is ho lered to be Salem. , Inquiry among persons at pt ent engaged in river navlgatie. discloses that the project in ques tion is a new one and that the parties thereto are saying nothtear until the matter Is settled. It wae stated that one party had signed the contract and that It is in tfce hands of a second. Will Make Salem Practically Seaport Barge navigation has long been sought here as a means of estab lishing Salent virtually as a -- port city from the standpoint ef manufacturing- and fruit produc tion advantages. Barge transner- tatlon from Salem to Porjlaad win mean that freight charges ' from here to. world markets will be practically on a par with sea'! port charges, with only the added cost of transferring freight from the barges to steamers at Pert- . land. Realisation of this dream hae been held up due to the shallow portions of the river which have precluded year-around navigation. During a large portion of the year ; freighting on the river is possible and the Salem Navigation com pany has operated two steamer' I with heavy patronage in the last year. , . , , w Last year after more than the usual amount of work had been done toward Improving the river, it was hoped that the steamr eould travel all summer and fall, but an .unprecedented dry period spoiled- these plans. - However, still more work is being done this v year and appropriations are la sight for a greater program In fu ture. Paper, lumber and all of the land crops of the middle Willam ette valley wlU be aided by tale project, and the Inauguration et ' barge traffic now will also hasten the time when the. government, will authorize permanent lu- provements on the river 'toe "still water" of which much ha been said and written. , Present plans call for construc tion of wing dams to raise the water to needed levels at the few shallow, places below Salem. Word -also came Monday that Pmideaa.
