NEW TRAFFIC ERA
FORESEEN BY HILL
Plan to Tap Southwest With
Railroad Lines of His
System Is Result.
CANAL IS PRIME FACTOR
Completion of Inter-Ocearilc Water
way Will Bring About Revolu
tionary Changes In Manner
of Shipping Krclgbt-
The purchase ly the Hill lines of the
Colorado A Southern Railroad, recently
announced In press dispatched. Indicates
preparation for the revolution In trafflo
conditions which will be wrought by the
completion of the Panama Canal.
When the canal Is finished, there will
be an immense diversion of traffic from
rail to water. Bulky, low-class freight
originating near the Atlantic and des
tined for the Pacific Coast, will be hauled
to the Atlantic seaboard and thence go
by steamer down the coast, across the
Caribbean Sea. through the canal and up
the Pacific Coast to the various ports,
where it will be transferred to cars to be
hauled to its destination a few hundred
miles in the interior.
Similar freight from the Middle West
will be hauled south to the Gulf ports,
there to be transferred to steamers for
transit through the canal. In short, the
time of transit between the two coasts will
be so shortened that vast quantities of
commodities which now are carried by
rail, merely to save the time of transit
around the Horn, will be carried by sea.
The railroads will be mainly used to
carry freight to the steamer lines. The
days of transcontinental freight traffic
will end. except for express trains carry
ing high-class freight.
Preparations for Great Change.
Foreseeing this revolution, the railroad
chiefs have been preparing to adapt their
lines to the new conditions. The Morgan
syndicate secured the Southern Railway,
with terminals at Mobile and New Or
leans; Mr. Harrtman wrested from Stuy
tresant Fish the IUinols Central, with
terminals at New Orleans; the Rock Isl-fcnd-Frlsco
lines have been extended to
Snlveston, and now the Hill lines reach
the same port by means of the Colorado
k Southern.
Hill to Haul Freight to Gulf.
The largest volume of traffic through
Jhe canal will come from the great in
terior Valley of the Mississippi and its
tributaries. With his new line and the
Burlington Mr. Hill will be admirably
tltuated to haul this traffic to the Gulf
Coast. With his North Bank Railroad
from Portland to the Inland Einplre he
will be In position to haul this same traf
fic to any interior point, and he will have
co mountains to climb until he reaches
the Bitter Roots.
The completion of the canal also may
be expected to bring about the establish
ment by the north-and-south railroads of
ste&mshlp lines which will carry freight
from the Gulf ports through the canal to
Pacific Coast ports. By the establish
ment of such a line. Mr. Hill, who was a
steainboatman before he became & rail
road man, and is equally at home at
either business, will control traffic from
Its starting point in the Middle States to
its destination in the Pacific Northwest.
The Harrlman lines may be expected to
follow the same policy, and there will
grow up a number of rail and canal
transportation lines Just as there are
lake and rail lines in the country tribu
tary to the Great Lakes.
New Purcha.se Signlfcant.
The purchase of the Colorado A South
ern Is additional evidence of Mr. Hill's
determination to reach, southward from
his present main lines, just as he has
reached northward across the boundary
by the construction of the Victoria, Van
couver & Eastern In British Columbia.
His announced decision to run a line of
steamers from Portland to San Francisco
Is only the first step In this direction.
The construction of a line southward
through Oregon and California may be
expected to follow before many years.
This line may parallel the Harrlman line
through the Willamette Valley, but it Is
as apt to be built through Central Oregon.
Hill Does Pioneering.
Mr. Hill differs from Mr. Harrlman In
one radical feature of policy. He Is above
all things a developer of new country by
the construction of new line. Mr. Har
rlman takes an old, broken-down line,
such as the I'nlon Pacific was when he
secured control, and builds It up by ex
tensive Improvements, so that It can carry
a maximum of traffic at a minimum cost
per ton. But he builds new lines reluct
antly and slowly, apparently hoping that
a combination with his rival will make
the new line unnecessary.
In accordance with his policy It Is to
be presumed that In reaching out to San
Francisco Mr. Hill will be apt to build
up the Heschutes to tap the Irrigated
country of Crook and Klamath Counties.
Here he would find a considerable de
veloped traffic already awaiting him, and
this traffic would grow rapidly as his
road advanced southward.
Sequence I Logical.
The purchase of the Colorado & South
ern Is a typical sequence of the purchase
of the Burlington. The latter extended
Mr. Hill's territory to Cheyenne, Denver
and Omaha, and gave him the through
haul on lumber from the Northwest to the
Prairie States. It also gave him the traf
fic which the latter states send to the
Northwest. But he wanted more In the
same line. He had covetous eyes on the
great shipments of cotton from the South
to the Pacific Coast for transshipment to
China and Japan. He will get that traf
fic, all on his own rails, for the Colorado
A Southern run from Orln Junction,
Wyo.. on the north, to Galveston. Tex.,
on the south, and thus traverses the
cotton belt. Only two short links are
needed to connect with the Burlington.
HIs new acquisition will also give hlin a
longer season of the grain movement ' to
Chicago and other Iake ports, and of the
stock movement from the Texas range
to the northern ranges of Wyoming and
Montana and to the Chicago packing
houses. He will, in fact, do as the migra
tory harvest hands do. follow the harvest
north as the crops ripen. By the time
the grain movement from his southern
lines slackens up, a crop will be ready
for them to move from the Northwest.
He will also extend the market for the
Northwestern lumber mills southward
Into Texas. Already lumbermen of this
section are preparing to Invade that sec
tion as soon as the missing Units of the
through line are filled in.
Hill's Capitalization Plan.
Mr. Hill has always had the advantage
of capitalization nearer the cost of his
road and equipment than any of his
rivals. He has fousht roads liberally
subsidized with land or bonds, or both.
it
and beaten them. He completed the Great
Northern to the Pacific in 1S93, just when
the panic came, and within a year he
drove the land-gTant-gorged Northern
Pacific Into bankruptcy and ultimately
bought It in. He has fought Mr. Harrl
man and his land-grant and bond-aided
Union Pacific, and is still fighting. Mr.
Harrlman has been able to force a cry
of distress from the Goulds, but no cries
have been heard coming from Mr. Hill's
direction. When the next era of railroad
construction which Mr. Hill has predicted
begins, there will be interesting tlmea all
the way from Oregon to Texas.
IN OWNING THE EARTH
The I'nited States Government As a
Spendthrift.
Technical World.
When "Coal Oil Johnny" bought all
the champagne in New, York and erfiptled
It Into a plunge bath, so that he might
take a swim in the sparkling wine, he
was by comparison a mean and penurious
miser. The only real. genuine, open
handed and free-hearted spendthrift In
the tides of time is the Government of
the United States. For Instance":
When Jay Cooke and his colleagues
were projecting the Northern Pacific
Railroad they took off their hats and
made a bow to Congress.
"We're thinking of building to the
Pacific Coast." they said. "Can't you
give us a little help?"
"Why, certainly." the Congress re
filled enthusiastically. "Just take the
State of New York and go to work."
"Oh!" said the railroad promoters In a
pained voice, "Is that all? Why. we real
ly expected something substantial."
"Well." Congress answered, swelling
with philanthropy and putting Its hand
into the public pocket, "of course. If you
feel that way about it you can put Mass
achusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Rhode Island and Delaware on the
string, too. Now run along and get
busy."'
Still the promoters stood and looked
pathetically at that tender-hearted ag
gregation of statesmen.
"Why, certainly," sobbed Congress
finally, vainly endeavoring to conceal Its
emotion, "we'll have the people lend you
what money you need, too. Please don't
look at us In that tone of voice any
longer."
In other words, the land grant of 47,000.
("10 of acres made as a free gift to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company by
the National Congress more than equals
In extent the total area of the states of
New York. Massachusetts, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Rhode Island and Delaware
Up to 12 years ago Congress had given
away the public domain to railroad and
other corporations to the extent of 266,
000,000 acres, a bit of territory the total
area of France and Germany, two coun
tries which support between them a pop
ulation much greater than the whole
population of the United States when
the last census was taken.
Farmer Growing'Cobless Corn.
Bloomlngton (III.) Dispatch to New York
Herald.
And now It Is the cobless corn. A year
ago H. J. Sconce and Taylor Garlough.
of Vermilion County, purchased a quan
tity of seed corn In Indiana. In the ship
ment was a freak ear, which. Instead of
the ordinary cob had a core of husk, the
grains being neatly wrapped on the soft
foundation like peas In a pod. Mr. Sconce
was Impressed with the novelty of the
find and decided to plant all the kernels
found on the freak ear. To his surprise
the ears produced this fall were found
to be exact reproductions of the single
ear. He has decided to plant more of the
corn next year and will endeavor to Im
prove It.
The ears produced this year yielded as
much corn as those provided with cobs,
wlille the kernels were large and solid.
The ears were well filled, kernels even
growing among the silk. The freak ears
were placed on exhibition at a county
fair at Sidell and attracted much atten
tion. Wrecking of Kookout Inn.
Boston Transcript.
The destruction of Lookout Inn, on the
top of Iookout Mountain, near the point
where the "battle above the clouds" was
fought, removes a widely famous hostelry.
It was at one time, with great adjoining
areas, owned in considerable part by Bos
ton Investors who had an ambitious plan
for bringing Into better public appreciation
that picturesque Tennessee peak. Chat
tanooga, the city at the base of the moun
tain, experienced a wonderful boom In the
early 'WOs. but has not since that time
kept up to expectations then entertained,
and upon Its growth and prosperity much
of the success of the mountain as a tour
ist resort naturally depended.

CHRISTMAS GREETING SAID
Annual Ceremony In Honor of Most
Eminent Grand Master Carried
Ont at 0 o'Clock A. M.
Xew Members Initiated.
"To our most eminent grand master,
Henry Warren Rugg, with Christmas
greetings; and may the Prince of Peace
send down good will to men."
The foregoing sentiment was proposed
In each asylum of the order of Knights
Templars in the country yesterday at
precisely 12 o'clock. Washington time. Al
lowing for the difference between coasts,
the ceremony was observed In Portland
by Oregon Commandery. No. 1. at 9
o'clock A. M. In the presence of about
150 fraters, Eminent Commander L. D.
Freeman announced the sentiment, to
which Bishop Charles W. Smith. D. D.,
gave the response on behalf of the grand
master.
After the observance of this custom,
that has been a ceremony conducted for
many years simultaneously all over the
Union, the newly-elected officers and
appointees were Installed !h their respect
ive positions. The following is the roster
of the new officers:
Eminent commander. D. G. Tomaslnl;
generalissimo, H. U Bancroft; captain
general, William Davis; prelate, Robert
A. Miller; senior warden, Hugh J. Boud;
Junior warden. V. A. Avery; treasurer,
J. W. Cook; recorder, W. 9. Macrum;
standard-bearer, Charles R. Frazier;
swordbearer, H. L. Pittock; warder, G.
F. Robertson; captain of guard, J. L.
Bailey; guards. Fred O. Jennlng, Joseph
McClelland; sentinel, F. A. Van Kirk;
musical director, W. R. Mackenzie. There
are now on the list 23 past commanders
of Oregon Commandery, the first being
J. F. Robinson, who was elected in 1875,
and the last L. D. Freeman, whose term
expired yesterday.
After the conclusion of the installation
of officers an initiation was conducted
by Albert M. Knapp. right eminent grand
commander of this Jurisdiction, the order
of the red cross and order of the temple
being conferred on his son, V. K. Knapp.
The grand commander conferred these
orders under a special dispensation grant
ed by himself, so that his son might have
the honor of having his father preside
on the occasion. It is not a matter of
record that such a combination of felici
tous circumstances ever greeted a candi
date before, for no notice was given
either to members of the commandery or
to the son of the grand master's inten
tion to select the candidate that he did.

Army Engineers Make Report
on Cowlitz River.
PROVIDES 8-FOOT CHANNEL
Submit Two Projects for Deepening
Stream From Kelso to Castle
Rock Report Will Be
Favorably Considered.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec. 25. As previously stated
In these dispatches the Army Engi
neers have recommended an appropria
tion of J22.00O for the further improve
ment of Cowlitz River from its mouth
to Castle Rock. This report having
been Indorsed by the Chief of Engi
neers and Secretary of War, will be
favorably considered when Congress
takes up the river and harbor bill later
in the session.
The scope of the new project is out
lined in the report of the Engineer
Board, from which the following ex
tracts are taken:
Desire Channel Ten Feet Deep.
"In the report on preliminary exam
ination of Cowlitz River It was stated
that some of the Interests concerned
desired a channel eight to ten feet
deep from the mouth to Kelso, while
others advocated a lesser channel,
suitable for light-draft steamboats.
The improvement desired above Kelso
was stated to be a channel four feet
deep for a distance of about four miles,
and thence 30 inches deep for a fur
ther distance of ten miles to Castle
Rock.
"The district officer submits two
projects for Improvement. Project No.
1 provides for an eight-foot channel
100 feet wide from the mouth to Kelso,
at an estimated cost of $52,500; a four
foot channel 50 feet wide from Kelso
to Ostrander, at an estimated cost of
$4800; and a channel 30 inches deep,
thence to Castle Rock, at an estimated
cost of 13000, the total cost of this
project, including allowance for engi
neering and contingencies, being $66,
330. Project No. 2 contemplates a
depth of four feet below Kelso, being
otherwise identical with project No. 1.
Its total cost is placed at $22,000. Hav
ing In mind the commercial Interests
involved and the effect of the improve
ment on freight rates, the district of
ficer is of the opinion that the stream
is worthy of further Improvement by
the United States to the extent out
lined in project No. 2.
Iiogr Rafting Interferes.
"This stream is one on which exten
sive log rafting interferes to some ex
tent with general navigation. While
small light-draft steamers should be
able to operate successfully under these
conditions, the navigation of larger
steamers, such as would require a
depth of eight feet, as proposed below
Kelso, would be attended with more or
less difficulty and danger. It is clear
to the board that under existing condi
tions the lesser project submitted will
adequately serve the necessities of
commerce and should exercise a bene
ficial influence upon freight rates. It
therefore concurs with the district of
ficer in recommending the adoption of
project No. 2, at an estimated cost of
$22,000, with $4000 per annum for main
tenance. "On flrst-class freight from Portlar 1
to Kelso, 50 miles, the rate is 12 cents
per hundred; from Portland to Castle
Rock, 61 miles, 14 cents; from Port
land to Olequa, the last point where
water competition Is had, 15 cents;
while from Portland to Sopenah, only
three miles beyond any water compe
tition, the rate is 22 cents. Seven
miles farther, or ten miles beyond
water competition, the rate Is 27 cents.
I am of the opinion that the Cowlitz
River is worthy of improvement by the
United States as far up as Castle Rock.
Immense Annual Output.

River above the town of Kelso has
been the method in which logging has
been carried on. The amount of tim
ber floated down the Cowlitz River has
greatly Increased from year to year
until it reached an annual output of
110.000,000 feet lumber, 400,000.000
shingles, and 164.000.000 feet logs float
ed down river, rafted and towed away.
All logs are "driven" down the river
at suitable stages. Up to the present
time this has been done in an unsys
tematic manner and with entire disre
gard of navigation Interests. The ef
fect has been such a continuous ob
struction of the channel as to prac
tically prohibit navigation during the
past season for several months when
there was enough water to allow a
steamboat to run.
"The Northern Pacific Railroad par
allels the river from its mouth through
Kelso and Castle Rock and seven miles
farther up to Olequa. Practically all
the lumber and shingles and much of
its produce are carried by the railroad,
and only a small percentage of the ton,
nage is carried by the steamboats; but
the latter carry enough to establish a
competitive water rate, which is, in
fact, the chief value of the river to
the communities having both rail and
water connection.
"The navigation or boat rates to
points reached on the Cowlitz River by
steamers are invariably lower than the
rail rates, ranging from 25 per cent to
40 per cent."
