Portage Report Reveals April Income and Open River Boat Plans
The Portage Railway Commission received L. S. Cook’s April report showing revenue from merchandise and hay and oats, with costs for maintenance and operations totaling 5 105,70. The superintendent notes canal contractors halted work due to winter, north bank crews advancing on grades, and two steam shovels with plans for two more. An Open River Transportation boat at Celilo is expected to start soon for fall grain and freight, with surveys for extending the road into The Dalles hoped to boost self sufficiency and freight handling. Contractor William Nelson sets camps at Des Chutes mouth as lines extend toward southern and central Oregon. A potential connection to The Dalles could justify extending the road to handle increased tonnage at Big Eddy.
