1 CANAL TRADE MAY PROVE ILLIMITABLE Gigantic Traffic Through Big Waterway Certain to Vastly Help Portland Commerce. PACIFIC COAST AWAKENED Krrry Harbor on Wrrtfrn Shore, From Prinrr llnpert WSan TMoso. Prrparr for Immense Marine Shipping to Brjrln In l15. BY r.EORGE PXl.MEH PfTXAlf. "The Panama. Railroad la destined to control our markets." That prophetic line appeared In ISr'u In the California correspondence col umn of the Star an.) Herald, a paper whlih baa been published In Panama lnc the Isthmian a-old rosh of the fifties to California, first mails thai tropical town profitable newspaper flel-t. While the forecast has not been ex actly fulfilled, thank to the transcon tinental railroad service, which doubt less Is far superior to anything dreamed of at the time the prediction was made, nevertheless the spirit of tho prophesy promises to come true enouRh And even more accurately than was thought by the San Franciscan writer 87 years aco. with his enthuslatlc Idea of trade benefits to be derived from the Panama route. It now seem assured that the Pana ma Canal, the modern successor of the pioneer Isthmian railroad, will have an Immense part to play in tlw develop ment and control of Pacific Coast mar ket. Pacific Coast cities which have eyes to tho future and that means all of them are making: great preparations for a new order of things which they ' Justly believe will follow the opening of the Canal. Every harbor from San riiego to Prince Rupert has taken a place on the band wag-on of Improve ment and preparation In one way or another. AH are busy dredging, build Ins; breakwaters. Improving docks and sprucing up generally. Of course. Panama Isn't written over everv bit of this activity. Much of It la simply the Inevitable progress ne cessary to keep abreast of the cities' normal growth. But get beneath the surface and you will find that the men at the helms are thinking Panama even If t:ey are not talking It. It "a evident that there will be ample wharves, harbors and handling facili ties at tha Pacific porta. The nest all Important matter Is what the Canal will or will not do to Justify the prepa rations and hopes of the territory which Is expecting ao much from It. Much haa been said and written about the administration of the Canal. This and the many other problems may be olvrd. like other affairs of National character, without the advice and as sistance of the Pa. lflc Coast. The ques tion for us Pacific Coast people Is not what we are going to do for the Canal, but what la the Canal going to do for us? (ill -Will Affect instances. Terhapa the easiest way to approach the subject la to examine what physical e.Tcts the Canal will have. It Is a ditch cut through what Is virtually the center of the Western hemisphere, nearly midway between Its extremities. Taking auch a gigantic liberty with nature should certainly create some remarkable rewards In the way of Im proved International highways and vastly disarrange existing trade routes. As evidence of the mileage revolu tion created by the Canal, one may atudy the following table of compara tive distances. It shows graphically some Canal mileage economies: New York to SB Fran- Tort- ft. Tow n -cl-'-'V lacl -nn Jit Pnma Canal.

A nautical mile con tains stloo feel. With mileage savings such as these it scarcely seems probable that those much-mentioned lily-pads will gt much of a start In our J3C0.000.009 ditch. As regards the coaat-to-coas t busi ness, one can consider that It Is esti mated that In IMS there will be car ried between our two seaboards over some route. 4.200.0ft tons. That figure las been given fur 114. reckoned on a 10 per cent annual Increase from the estimate of 5.00.000 tons for Inst rear. It Is fair to presume.that the opening -f the canal will give an even greater Impetus, making this annual increase more than 10 per cent. Also, when one realises how much closer to Eastern manufacturing, and population conges tion. th canal will bring the raclrtc Coast, It Is reasonable to suppose that more than ever before the wealth, the poople and the products of tli!e terri tories will find their vi)' over the ca nal route to the Pacific. Water Haws Trade aail. Transcontinental shippers will tell v O'j that not more than IS per cent of the enast-to-coast tonnage now takes the water route, which route means the combined water-and-rail traffic of Pan ama and Teruaritepec. as well aa that of around-the-iiorn route. The other i per cent, or I.iiiVOOO ton, approxi mately, goes by rail. of that estimated 4.Jn.f'ft tons of ltlS traffic, which is supposed to In crease: 10 per cent annually thereafter, how much will go by way of Canada? To answer this question correctly would l.e as difficult sa It would have been In H4 to prophesy what tonnage the I nlon Pacific would be handling a year after its complef ion. The Vnlon Pa rlr:c w our net transcontinental rxil toxi. the Panama Canal Is our first transcontinental waterway. Predic tions or wnai tne luture noiow in at vie for the latter are as much a matter of guesswork as they were In the case of the former. It Is self-evident that If the Panama rout proves the cheapest available, and at the same time its drawbacks of speed and climatic conditions do not offset Its financial advantages, all freight for which It holds a real net advantage will abandon other routes In Its favor. Also It Is easy to see that perishable and fragile- material" are eliminated from consideration. That somewhat narrows down probable canal freight to more or less bulkv. heavy and imperishable ton nage. And that Is the class of freight least desired by the railroads, and most cheerfully given up by them. Hates Asnl One Ceat a Pnnnd. Taking an eastward-bound movement the rail rates vary from 75 cents a hun dred pounds on wine, to $1.50 s hundred on hops. West-bound, from 111 av ton on steel rails to 17.30 a ton on clothing and dry goods not otherwise specified. Such rates are generally blsnketed. thst Is. they spply from any Pacific Coast point to any point east of the Missis sippi River, and vice versa. On citrus or deciduous fruits the rail rate Is $1.15 per hundred, or $-1 a ton. It has been stated that on a modern lt knot steamer this rate need not be over $7 or $8. Lumber rates are of vital Importance lo the Pacific Northwest. The present rate from Coast points to New York Is 75 cents a hundred. The present rate by way of Panama, Is 40 cents, and this latter rate Includes four more handlings than will be required after the business Is done through the canal. An Interesting development In con nection with the Northwest lumber In dustry Is that the better trsnsporatlon facilities which the canal trade and de. velopment will Indure on the Pacific will make It possible for Northwest lumber to get Into Central and South American West Coast markets more easily and profitably than ever before.

The Panama Canal may prove a dis gulsed blessing to even the transconti nental railroads, ss It surely will to the short-haul lines of the two sea boards; a blessing even If the "rail road Interests- do not succeed In sad dling the canal with prohibitive, tolls. In this connection there Is food for fhoiirhr In the Spokane - decisions of declalona of, Commission. I 1 Canal and I the Interstate Commerce As It retards the Panama the Pacific Coast, the new order 01 things means. In a nutshell, thst the manufacturers and wholesalers of the extreme Kastern seaboard will be forced. In a measure, from competing by rail for tha Pacific Coast trade with further Western sones. For the es sence of the decisions, as they affect this matter. Is that the Middle Western manufacturing districts lione SI shall have lower rates to the Coast than the extreme Kastern sone i has. That meana that they will turn to the canal, to the water route. And If the manufacturing and distributing centers of sone 1. or the Atlantic Coast states. Interest themselves with devel oping Panama route poaaibllltles. not only will an enormous short-haul busi ness be. developed In the Kast from manufacturing points to tidewater, but also a similar traffic of far-reaching Importance will be brought Into being from the Pacific Coast distributing citi.. Inland. For the bulk of what sono i sends by the canal to these Coast ( distributing points will worK easiwara hundreds of miles to the ultimate con suming territory, from which will ac crue not only a profitable business for the railroads, but a tremendous Im petus to the growth of the Pacific ports. In this connection no city will profit more then Portland, for with tho Co lumbia River opening a natural gate way Into tha great Interior country, and with extensive water navigation upon that river almost an accomplished fact. It becomes a certainty that Port land will get Its shsre. and more, of the new distributing business that the development of water transportation from the Kastern ports will foster.
