The Oregonian leads a push to discredit the Celilo portage road with arguments it has not paid expenses while ignoring its broader impact. Proponents say the portage cut freight costs, benefiting eastern Oregon by lowering rates on wheat, sugar, salt, and barbed wire, and reducing overall shipping costs. The piece notes railroad interests seek to block improvements to protect local appropriations and labeled the portage an essential freight-rate reducer.
The piece argues against portage opponents who omit key facts about operating expenses. It suggests that even if a deficit appears, freight savings will exceed costs and that extending portage from Big Eddy to The Dalles will improve revenue. Supporters claim after completion the road will pay expenses and reduce freight rates, while critics allege political influence from Harriman interests.
