PORT OF ASTORIA TO STARTNEW BOAT LINE Astoria, Ore., July 14, (Special) The Port of Astoria Commission has Instructed its ways and means committee to ascertain immediately its legal rights with respect to the establishment and operation of a line of independent steamboats on the Columbia river from Astoria to Pasco and Kennewick, and eventually on the Snake river to Lewiston, Idaho and Asotin, Washington. If the pow ers of the commission will permit of this enterprise (of which there is little doubt) steps will be taken at once by Commissioners Geo. W. San born, C. H. Callender, G. Wingate, Frank Patton, Geo. B. McLeod, and Engineer F. J. Walsh to carry out the transportation program. The subject was brought to the attention of the Commissioners by Wallace R. Strubble, publicity man ager for the Port of Columbia Com-. mercial Club and secretary of the Columbia and Snake Rivers Water ways Association., The members of the Port Commission had already given the matter a" great deal of thought and when the subject was opened all entered into it with an en thusiasm that promised to bear fruit. British Vice Consul E. M. Cherry was also present and offered his assist ance in the matter. It was the unanimous opinion of all present that an independent steamship line between Astoria and interior points would be a great stim ulus to the commerce of the Columbia river, and that the scheme would work nicely in connection with the municipal docks now under construc tion at Smith's Point, as there would then be plenty of need for the-docks as soon as they were completed. Manager Strubble displayed a map showing the watershed of the Colum bia and Snake rivers and the vast productive territory that is tributary to the mouth of the river. The tentative plan is to build or purchase light draft boats with a carrying capacity of 500 tons that can be operated through the Celilo canal as far up as the streams are- navigable. Although Astoria mav be granted the terminal rate as asked for, it is quite probable that it will be a year or two before Hie question is finally decided, and it would not be advisable to wait that length of time before trying to solve the transpor tation problem. Engineer Walsh stated that the Grace line of steamships had announ ced its intention of making Astoria a port of call and had already written for Information about the municipal docks. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company has also signified its inten tion of making Astoria a port of call on the completion of the Panama canal. The Governors of Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho recently named a joint committee to gather informa tion with a view of location of high ways to be used, in connection with river traffic, and to report on eligible sites for public wharves. The mem bers of this committe are Samuel Hill of Maryhill, Wash., chairman; Joseph N. Teal of Portland, secre tary; Harry L. Ppwers of Lewiston, Idaho. ,v At a recent meeting of this committee in Portland it was shown that the farmers of Klickitat county, Washington, had saved $54,000 in freight charges the past year by -using the ten mile hard surfaced road from Goldendale to Maryhill as against the 41.6 miles of railway from Goldendale to Lyle. Similar savings probably will be effected in other localities by means of the com bined motor truck and river haul. The Astoria boat .line will seek to co-operate with interior points by means of these highways. . The Astoria Port Commission is cognizant of the fact that the con necting link to supply ocean carriers with return cargoes lies in an open river transportation line. That this is now a possibility is seen in the vigor with which the project Is to be carried out. A Missouri editor dreamed that he died and of course, went to heaven. After (--pending several hours taking in the sights of the city he suddenly rame upon a man in chains. Being greatly surprised at this he inquired of St. Peter if they had to punish men in Heaven. "Oh," said the good saint, "that man is just from Mis souri; we always have to chain Mis sourians for the first two or three weeks to keep them from going back." "It must be great to be a man! One dress suit lasts you for years and years, and a woman must have a new gown for every party? "That's why one dress suit last a man- for years and years." Pittsburgh Dis patch. "Fadder," said Ikey, s they passed an ice cream stand, "I'm awful varm. Puy me some Ice gream." "No, no. But I tell you some ghost stories vot'll make your blood run cold." Livingston Lance.
