places to II, to carry wheat to the boat.
A map of the Inland Empire was then,
produced and Capt. Troup pointed out
where the wheat belts are.
lie was asked whether 10 case the Oh.
s:ructions Of The Dales and Cascades
were removed baryes could carry wheat
from the upper river to Astoria, to
which be replied that barges which could.
come as far as Portland would hardly be
safe to so to Astoria.
Capt. Troup said it was his opinion
that in case the river was opened, the
greater part of the wheat shipped down
1t would be carried in barges There
would, however, be no trouble in build.
ing steamer which could carry 1000
tons from Wallula to Astoria if tho river
Were improved. n:.,
In reference to usir2 large barges on
the upper Columbia, Capt. Troup said it
was impracticabe, as the turns were too
short, and there were several hard places.
Squally rapids in particular would have
to be improved great deal. .
lie then explained if the wheat came
to market between April and August all.
the wheat along the Columbia could be
transported on barges, but at this season
no one cared to ship wheat.
As to railroad around The Dalles, he
said it would be very well if the Cascades
were opeaed, but it would not pay to
handle wheat many times. IF it had to
be trans-shipped at The Dalles large
1000 ton barses could be used between
Portland and The Dallcs and lighter,
smaller ones above.
Capt. Troup stated that the largest
amount of wheat tributary to the Col
umbia came ont Of the Snake river:
There was plenty of water in this river
to make it uavi,ab!e in the eighty miles
from IGpara to the Columbia. There
rtre several rapids not navigable at low
stages Of water.
lie was next asked what he thought
the dimensions Of the lock at the
Cascades should be, to which he replied
as large Gs the money at command would
allow of. IF by making it smaller it
could be fni he'd several years sooner, he
would favor reducing the sizs. 1t should
certainly not be less than sevcuty.fve
feet wide and 800 feet long.
If it could be built ninety feet vide
it would do for the future, and 300 feet
in length, to be heightened when cir.
cumstances required it. The commission
expressed their qualification at the very
intelligent manner in which Capt.
Troup had answered their questions and
their Obligations for his coming before
them.
