the barge lines on the Columbia
in their steady battle with the
.railroads, chiefly the Union Pa
cific whose rails follow the
-Columbia to Wallula and Kenne
wick. The barges found their
most profitable business in mov
ing petroleum upriver from ter
minals at Portland; and they
have been developing substan
tial downriver haul in grain. In
1839 the Union Pacific sought a
rate decrease upriver in an effort
to recapture the .oil business, but
succeeded only partially.
Now the Standard Oil company
is building a refinery at Salt Lake
City using crude from western
Colorado. This is intended to
supply its intermountaln market.
The Union Pacific, anxious to get
this business, has filed with the
Interstate commerce tommlssion a
new, rate from Salt Lake City to
points in Idaho, eastern Oregon
and eastern Washington.' This Is
42 cents a hundredweight on bulk
shipments against a former rate
of 95 cents. The railroad says
unless It can use a low rate the
oil company will build pipeline
to the northwest and move the
oil by that means. 'a'
This threatens river transport on
the Columbia. If -the barges do
not get the upriver haul of pe
troleum the owners say they
can't operate to move gram down
stream. So they are appealing to the
wheatgrowers of the interior for
support in blocking the new rail
rate. The whole dream of inland
water transport is put in Jeopardy,
That's a thorny question for the
ICC. . Is it to deny residents of
the interior the lower rates on
petroleum when a new source of
supply is opened 7
This battle will be hard fought.
The waterways people are strong

bv numerous civic groups. Com
peting oil companies also may lend
a hand so they may not De snux
out of the profitable inland mar

to scale down the Union Pacific

the barges stay In business. As
for a pipeline that would have to
wait for steel anyway.
