Open River Transportation votes to continue service
Stockholders vote to keep the Open River Transportation company operating to October 31 1912 amid a roughly 17000 deficit. They plan a voluntary assessment on stockholders and a future equal deficit share for Portland and upstream areas, with board size increased to 16 drawn from up river points. The circular from management urges continued traffic to The Dalles Umatilla and up river landings with emphasis on wheat and hay shipments.
