Improve Columbia bar to lure 30-foot ships and Panama trade
M J Kinney argues from a Portland letter that Oregon must deepen the Columbia River bar to 30 feet, enabling 3000-ton and larger vessels, to compete with Buenos Aires, Shanghai, and Rio harbor builds. He cites global port improvements, Panama Canal prospects, and rising freight costs, urging immediate $19 million–plus funding and broader river access to Lewiston and Portland. He compares rail and water freight to Argentina and urges farmers and citizens to press for rapid harbor enhancement.
