In beginning his speech, deliv ered in the senate on the 11th inst., on his resolution submitted last month, looking to tho establish ment of a boat railway at the Dalles of the Columbia, Senator Dolph said that if the subject of over coming obstructions to navigation in our navigable rivers by means of boat railways was not compar atively new he should not occupy the senate upon the resolution. He hoped, by the remarks which he should submit, to call the at tention of the .senate to the pro ject, in particular, of overcoming the rapids on the Columbia, bv means of a boat railway, and gen erally to the subject of the prac ticability and economy of over coming similar obstructions in other navigable water of the United States. Speaking of the peculiar and extraordinary situation of ths peo ple living east of the Cascades and that their only natural outlet is the pa-s known as tho gorge of the Columbia, the speaker said: "This pa&a it. substantially controlled by a tingle company, which owns a railroad upon the Oregon side of the river, a portago railroad upon tho north side of tho rapids, and the principal, if not all tho boats engaged in navigating the upper Columbia, and thus without com petition, is enabled to make and maintain ijs own rates of freights and fares. As a consequence of this condition of affairs the freight rates, both by river and by rail, between the interior and tho sea board are enormously high. I think it is doubtful if in any other portion of tho United States the cost of transportation is so great; certainly not in any portion afford ing an equal amount of business for transportation lines." In this connection a late com m .initiation from The Dalles board of trade, giving examples of the schedule of rates to way points on the railroad, was read. A carload of merchandise to any of these wa points from Chicago is delivered at the way point without going through to Portland, and tin freignt charges thereon consist ol the full through rate to Portland, plus the local freight on merchan dise from Portland to the way point. Mr. Dolph said he hat little faith that legislation will prove effectual in reducing, regu lating and controlling Ireighis. Water transportation, however, ac cording both to experience and the opinion of the best informed men of the country, is an effectual means of reducing and regulating the cost of transportation. There is rlo doubt, it was stated, that the Columbia river will in time be improved by the general government so as to admit of un obstiucted navigation for a thou sand miles from its mouth, and there is no other poriion of the country where so great a benefit to the inhabitants of so extensive a region can be obtained for so small an outlay. The only ques tions are, how shall tie liver be improved, and when shall the im provements be commenced? To quete: "The esvimated cost of the improvement at the dalles portage of the Columbia, accord ing to the project submitted by .Major Jones, is 1,373,000. The estimated cost of the completion of the canal and locks at the Cas cades is $1,002,500 making a to tal for these two improvements and the work recommended by Lieut. Symons of 5,440,000. Thus it will be seen that the Co lumbia river, from its mouth to Grand Rapids, a distance of 750 miles, can be made navigable by the expenditure of a sum slightly in excess of $5 000,000, providing, of course, that boat railways are feasible. The removal of the ob structions at the dalles should have been undertaken at the same time as the improvement at tho Cas cades, and prosecuted so as to be completed with the completion of that improvement. These two improvements are complements of each other. The two obstructions divide a stretch of over 500 miles of'navigable river into two nearly equal parts, and the full benefit to be derived from each will not be secured until the other is com pleted." Speaking 4Yith tspepialref erence to the boat railway the speaker said: "Tho only question, it ap pears to me, worthy of considera tion in determining whether the work shall be undertaken at once is its practicability. If the opin ions of engineers can be relied upon that is assured. But if it be admitted that it would to a certain extent be an experiment, who has a greater interest in making tho experiment and testing the prac ticabilitjT of boat railways than the federal government? If it should prove a success the government would be able to substitute rail ways for canals at one-eighth of the cost of the latter, and the peo ple would also be greatly benefitted by securing at a much earlier date the unobstructed navigation of the waterways of the country. But the project of a boat railway is not a visionary one. One of the greatest engineers in this or any other country has projected a i ail way irom the Atlantic to the Pa cific ocean on Mexican soil, by which it is proposed to take ships w;th their cargoes weighing 7,00C toj from one occa:', ind, trans-po'-r ig them vkh speed and safe ty, deposit them in the other, and has organized a company to con struct it. I am satisfied of the practicability of that great work, compared to which railroad for the transportation of boats, which can bo navigated on the upper Colum bia, around The Dalles and Celilo rapids, would bo an insignificant affair.'' After a statement that tho cost of a boat railway at The Dalles will be about one-eighth that of a canal at the same point, it was said that here is a project put forth by competent engineers for ac complishing the same purposes at a small fraction of tho first cost of a canal, and probably at not much greater cost for repairs and opera tion. Tho place proposed for try ing the experiment of the cheaper plant is favorable, and it would seem that the experiment is de manded upon business principles, w'th the view of testing the prac ticability of substituting boat rail ways for canals as a means of overcoming such obstructions. Never iti the history of this coun try has there been a more auspi cious time for the commencement of &uch a work, and trying the ex periment, if it be called such. Or egonian Wash. Corr. INFLAMMATION OF THK KID. NEY3. Hon. Edward A. Moore, Member of Assembly from Richmond County, New York, writes: "Some two weeks ago I was taken with inflammation of the kidneys. The pain was intense. I applied as soon as possible an Allcock's Por ous Plaster over each kidney. Won derful to say, the pain and inflam mation began to abate in three hours. In two days I was entirely cured. I always take great pleasure in recom "mending Allcock's Plasters; they are certainly the best external remedy known. I used them as chest protectors and found them most efficient."
