WILL BRING MARKETS OF WORLD THOUSANDS OF MILES NEARER Cheaper Freight Rates That Waterway Will Bring Would Mean Saving of $1 .000.000 Yearly on Present Grain Exports Commerce of This Port to Increase Greatly. Br W. Wright. THE Panama Canal will present such tremendouspoasibtlitles for Increaatns; the wealth and prestis;e of the Pacific Coast and will open up fr exploitation o many new trade Held" that It la difficult, eren appro Imatelr. to estimate the benefits that a rapMlr rowtn- seaport HKe Port land will experience when the canal la completed. Portland's growth and .vrlopment follow automatically the growth and d-relopment of the trib utary territory. n4 we must, accord ingly, consider what this Imposing; new factor In our National industrial sit uation will do for the Taut reitlon for which Portland Is the financial and commercial clearing-house. ITlopment and prosperity in the city most always be dependent on the country from which the city draws sustenance. In consequence the ad vantages of the Panama . Canal, like those of any other great economic force, will first make their Impres sion on the region tributary to this city. The Pacific Northwest needs de sirable Immigrants In large numbers, and the Panama Canal will make this region as accessible to the surplus European population st-Alng homes In the new world as the Atlantic states now are. Samuel Oompers. a few mki iico. made the statement that the opening of the Panama Canal would make It possible for European steamship companies to land SOO.000 immigrants each year at the Pacific Coast ports. Portland can use quite a number or the Immigrants, providing they are not of the "never-work" type, but the vast majority of thrm will Improve condition for themselves, for Portland and for the country as a whole If they will Immediately scatter out on ' the millions of acres of Idle land still plen tiful throughout the tSO.i.00 square mlla of territory tributary to Port land. Already a few thousand Euro pean Immigrants who reached Port land In the steerage, before the roast and by Immigrant train not very many years ago. have become wealthy by transforming some of the Idle acres into productive farms, and every dollar of new wealth created by them In the country made Its Influence felt In greater or leaser degree on Portland, the metropolis of the great region. If pr. per precaution Is exercised In plac ing this coming stream of immigrant where they are most needed, this In flux of labor will easily prove one of the greatest advantages that will fol low the completion of the canaL Until these vast tracts of Idle land are hrought under cultivation and better farming methods are followed with those already In use. this country will suffer a tremendous annual waste of money sent elsewhere for food prod ucts and other commodities which could and should be produced here. The anal will Increase the profits of this new army of producers and creators or new wealth by shortening the trans portation routes to the world's mar kets many thousands of miles, with an Mttendant saving of freight charges. l.ow freight rates stlmulste the movement of nearly all products on which cost of transportation has an important bearing on price, and for that reason It is Impossible, even ap proximately, to estimate the amount of increase In the business that will follow the opening of the canal. A low-grade mine which would be nn ble to ship a ton of ore at a high freight rate might supply million or Ions st a low rate, and on this same principle many of our products that ire now forced by prohibitive freight rates to seek a market In a restricted field would find the field widened tre mendously. We cannot eellmate the extent of this -widening." but we do know what we are doing under the ex isting handicap of high freight rates to the distant markets. Complete figures for 11 1 are not v.-t available, but I note that In ilo Portland shipped to European markets about 17S.0O-) tons of freight, prin cipally wheat and lumber.

Dr. James Wlthycombe. director of the Oregon Experiment Sta tion, has estimated that there are ::.17.0 acres of tillable land In Oregon. In this estimate he Included land now productive and large areaa of arable land that can easily be made productive. With Ir. Wlt'iycomhe's figures as basis, there le only one person In Oregon to ench 31 acres of arabie land available. There Is only one persen to each h2 acres of land, taking the state as a whole.

The movement of freight In and out of Portland by water by the Tehuantepec and Panama routes In 1910 was approximately 75.000 tons. We thus have a total for 1910 of 100. Ooo tons directly affected by water rates. This amount may safely be re garded as a minimum, for there have been years In the past w hen the Port land grain exports to Europe alone reached a total of more than 450.000 tons. Steam grain freights from Port land over the present long route via the Straits of Magellan for 1911 hare ranged from IS.6U to $7.50 a ton. and the most prominent shipowners In the business state that 27s 64. or St.60 a ton, leaves no margin of profit. The present route from Portland to Europe by way of the Straits of Magellan Is about 14.000 miles and the distance to New York Is approximately the same. The Panama Canal will shorten the distance to about 8000 miles on the European route and to about tOuO miles between Portland and New York. American vessels enjoying a monopoly In the coast-to-coast traf fic, exact rates about double those rharged between Portland and Europe, and there Is accordingly more leeway for a reduction than on the European business, which the competing fleets of the world have pared down to a -cost-of-servlce" basis. Estimating this reduction, however, to be no greater than that which would follow the lopping off of about 000 miles on the European route, and the producers and consumers of the SOO.Ort't tons of water-borne freight in and out of Portland In 1910. would save, under rates made possible by the canal, at least II 60 a ton. or about $750,000. In a big crop year like 190. for Instance, the Panama Canal would save Oregon and Washington farmers more than $1,000,000 on grain shipped through Portland alone. The European market has always dominated, and for years will continue to fix. the price of wheat sold locally, as well as that which goes foreign. The price of the entire crop Is thus affected bv the European price. A reduction o'f $2.50 a ton (2240 pounds!, or H cents a bushel on the freight rate, would thus Increase the value of the entire output of the three states. This output In 1911 was about 55.000, 000 bushels In Oregon, Washington and Idaho, and. had the Panama Canal been In operation. Its value to the pro ducers would havo been more than $3,500,000 greater than it could be un der present conditions. In thus trying to reduce to the basis cf approximate figures the saving that will be effected In freight rates through the operation of the Panama Canal, it will be noticed that the great benefits that will result: from the com- pletion of the canal are based to an overwhelming extent on the saving ef fected on rates on Oregon products for Europe and European imports to Port land. ' This saving will rapidly run into Increasing millions each year after the canal is completed, but there Is a still greater source of saving to the producer and consumer in Portland territory. If we can break the strangle hold which the great trusts have on the shipping situation as It pertains to the American flag. There Is an Im mense traffic between the two coasts of the United States, and, if American citizens are permitted to handle this traffic In cheap ocean carriers such as are used by every other maritime na tion on earth, trade expansion of In calculable proportions will follow. To every shipowner who encages ..In the carrying trade for the purpose of making a profit there are a thousand producers paying tribute for the facil ities provided, and so 'ong as -our trade-stlfllng. antiquated navigation laws and misapplied protective tariff compel or permit American shipowners to do business with carriers costing 60 per cent to 100 per cent more than our foreign competitors, there will be a tremendous economic loss to the pro ducers and consumers who pay the freight. If Portland or any other port that has freight to ship through the canal Is to secure the greatest benefits by the opening of this waterway, we must encourage the fleets of the world to make use of It. There Is at the pres ent time, and will continue to be. less traffic moving east than west by wa ter. If we Insist on hampering com merce by keeping the Panama Canal In the "coastwise shipping sone" or by driving cheap carriers away through discriminating tolls, we will naturally be obliged to find return business for some of the ships that come to Port land with Now York cargoes, and are unable at ail times to secure return New York argoes. io -- bringing cargo nero irau can always pick up return busl- . i -iwn..B lumh.r for the Far East, for Australia, or grain for Europe. Tne ovr-pri"-" vessel, however, cannot successfully en gage In this traffic for the reason that the first cost Is 60 to 100 per cent greater than that of the foreign ves sels, and the latter could profitably handle onr products at a rate that would show a loss for the expensive American ship. I had no Intention of making this article a plea for free ships, but any careful scrutiny of the subject so plainly reveals the necessity for the cheapest tonnage that can be secured that it becomes a vital part of the subject. In other words, for Portland or for any other Pacific Const port to pet the greatest benefits from the can al it will be necessary for our Import ers and exporters to secure the cheap est tonnage In the world for handling traffic In which we must meet the com petition of the world. With Pl'nty of cheap ships to take advantage of this new trade route, there will be an Im mense expansion In our trade not only with the- Atlantic ports of the United Statea and Europe, but With the great Pan-American territory where there are vast regions fabulously rich in latent resources. The canal will prove highly advantageous to the country as a whole, but no other section will be as greatly benefited as the faciflc Northwest, where, at present, the greatest ecnomlc drawbacks are high freights and lack of population, two disadvantages which the Panama Can al will remove. opening of 63 feet above high water mark, which Is sufficient height for ordinary steamboat river traffic with out opening the draw span. The total cost of the bridge will be about $1,600,000. If the two-leaf trunnion bascule type la used, each leaf will be counterbal anced by means of a, counterpoise built up of reinforced concrete and carried on a structural steel framework, ii o on ted upon secondary trunnions, lo rctad In the top chord of the adjacent 19', foot spans and connected to the leaf by means of pinned links, so as to rotate n harmony with the leaf Itself. By this means the weight of the leaf is exactly offset In every posi tion and no power whatever la exerted In moving the enormously heavy leaves up and down, the effort of the ma chinery being applied solely In over coming the wind resistance and the inertia. When the bridge is closed and ready for traffic, the two leaves are auto matically anchored back to the 297 foot spans, becoming what is known as cantilevers, each Independently self supporting, like the two arms of the Quebec bridge, for Instance, but never theless locked together at the center has a clear span 60 feet less than Broadway, and is also narrower than Broadwav about in the same propor tion. The City of Philadelphia has re cently completed a two-leaf trunnion bascule designed by the city Itself, which has about the same proportions aa the Tower bridge. The City of To ledo la about to consruct a two-leaf bascule which will be 100 feet wide over all and the City of St. Petersburg is building a two-leaf trunnion bascule 90 feet wide leading to the Winter Palace of the Cxar. The Canadian Pa cific Railway has placed tne order for a two-leaf trunnion bascule of 3SS foot span, which, while the longest span yet attempted. Is less than one third the width of the Broadway bridge. It will be easily seen, therefore, that the Broadway bridge, with Its two leaf Bascule spanning 278 feet and having a 70-foot width over all. sur passes anything else of the kind In existence or contemplated, and that, consequently, Portland will have the unique distinction of leading the bas cule bridge structures of the world.

Either leaf may be raised or lowered Independently, the total time required to raise and lower being one and one-half minutes. The marvelous ease and perfect control with which these Immense leaves are. handled will be a revelation to the citizens of Port land. The trunnion bascule is a well known typo In the East, being used exclusively by the City of Chicago, but none yet built there or elsewhere equals the dimensions of the Broadway trunnion bascule. The famous Tower bridge of London, designed by Sir John Wolf Barry and for a long time con sidered one of the world's wonders. this type is in used by the Northern Pacific Railway at Seattle, being the only bascule bridge on the Northwest Coast. ' In ye olden times the bascule was a protective means of access to ba ronial castles, and was immortalized bv the bard In the battle-cry, "What,, warder, ho let the portcullis fall." To day it Is still a faithful servant of men, no longer, however, as a rude in strument of warfare, but as a mam moth machine of commerce, swift, sure and economical, an essential element In the disposition of traffic and a vital -link In the arteries of communication of the great cities and railways of the world. rlers, rope ness WATER SUPPLY IN PORTLAND IS NEARLY DOUBLED IN 1911 New Pipeline Makes Available Row From Bull Run River 71, 000,000 Gallons Daily Famed for Purity, PORTLAND cltixens take as a mat ter of course the possession that many cities would gladly give mil lions to secure an abundant supply of absolutely pure water. Portland's Bull Run water leaves a lasting Impression on everyone who visits the city, for it Is cool, refreshing and altogether satis fying. The Impossibility of Its becom ing contaminated by any Impurity un doubtedly makes It an Important fac tor In holding Portland's death rate to the lowest among the cities. One of the big tasks completed by many times that amount. The city's rights to this flow have been fixed by Federal and state laws. Encroachments by private companies were ended the past Summer and the city'B rights am ply protected. Portland's water system, exclusive of distributing mains, now represents an Investment of $4,700,000. The original main line from Bull Run to Mount Ta bor cost $1,000,000 and from Mount Ta bor to the City Park cost $400,000, while the four old reservoirs cost $1,200,000.

The railroad bridge is being built In two d-cks. the upper to accommodate traction and street traffic and the low er for rail traffic. It now Is more than 75 per cent complete.1 and will be ready for service about April 1.

An ornamental Iron fence forms the guard rails. Ornamental lamp P-t and ornamental trolley posts will make this bridge one of the show fea tures of the city. All roadways are to be paved with creosoted blocks laid on a four-inch creosoted plank with felt between to prevent leakage. This. It Is declared, will outlast any stone or patented pav- ln?n building the bridge 17.000.000 pounds of steel and 225 tons of ma chinery will be required. The total cost will be approximately $1,760,000. of which $1J.)" has been spent for foundations. Two plera have been sunk In the channel of the river, be ing ! feet and 147 feet high re spectively on the West Side and the Kast Side. They were sunk by the open dredging process about k0 feet l.elnw the bed of the river and filled with cemented a-raveL Each will be surmounted by a steel tower carrying counterweights and sheaves. Prom the r-nter of a pier to the center of the top sheave will be 216 feet 9 Inches, making the height of the entire struc ture from the bottom of the piers to the top of the towers $95 feet lnchee. The highway deck will be M feet Inches above low water. The coun terweights will be borne by 64 wire ropts each having a lifting strength of 2.T) tons. The total length of the steel struc ture proper will he 1623 feet and 5 inches, un the Kast Side there will be s steel trestle J5 feet long: on the West Side a steel trestle 424 feet 4 Inches long and a concrete retaining wall feet long. With the letting of the contract for the steel work, the Broadway bridge passes Into Its second stage and the magnitude of this great undertak ing now becomes visible. The amount of steel required will be about 7000 tons and the amount of concrete re quired for the opening span 3000 tons, while the machinery necessary to move this span weighs 88 tons, mak ing a huge total of steel and concrete which places this structure, along with the Quebec bridge at Montreal and the Hell Oate bridge at New York, among the three greatest bridge projects un dertaken on this continent In recent ears. Particular Interest centers In the opening span, which Is the first of the bascule tvpe to be erected In Portland, and which Is noteworthy because It Is bv far the largest structure of this kind ln the world. The term bascule Is a new one ln the English language, and like many others is taken bodily from the French, and Implies the Idea of a rocking structure, although the best tvpes rotate upon shafts and do not rock at all. In the Broadwaj brldge the opening span will part In the middle, each half revolving upon huge shafts or so-called trunnions, se cured to the channel piers, the action being somewhat similar to that of the famous Ferris wheel. These trunnions give this type of bridge the name trun nion bascule bridge. ln the Broadway bascule each of the leaves is 139 feet long and ' feet wide over all. nisklng a total span be tween centers of 2;S feet and giving a waterway clearance as the bridge opens of 150 feet. The two spans ad joining the bascule are 297 feet long each, and the whole length of the bridge Is about 2950 feet, and exclu sive of viaduct approaches Is 1725 feet The bridge when closed has a clear Portland in 1911 was the construction of a second pipeline from Bull Run River to this city, a distance of 24 miles. During the past two Summers, when hot weather increased the con sumption of water, the existing supply of 25,000.000 gallons a day was insuf-' Hrlent to meet demands. The hours for irrigation were shortened and. for a time, altogether suspended, but even this action did not entirely relieve the situation. Towards the end of last Summer, however, water was turned Into the new pipeline, averting all dan ger of further water famine. In addition to the daily supply of 25 000 000 gallons, through the old pipeline, the city now has available 46 000 000 gallons dally through the new sv'stem. Of course this maximum sup p'lv will not be used for many years, for it is estimated that Portland now has sufficient water for a city of 750, 000 people. Even this second pipe line will not exhaust the flow of Bull Run River and when the city's growth makes necessary an additional supply this need may be met by laying a third tube Even in mid-Summer Bull Run will 'supply another 25.000.000 gallons, whilo in Winter the additional flow Is reservoirs. The distributing system. In the city, of course represents an out lay of millions of dollars additional. The four old reservoirs have a com bined capacity of 66.000.000 gallons and the two new reservoirs hold 125,000.000 gallons. The Investment of $4,700,000 is re sarded as exceedingly moderate for such a system as Portland has. Very few cities can get, at any price, water that even approaches In quality the crystal clear flow from Bull Run, while many cities have spent much more than has Portland and for an Inferior supply. Bull Run water comes from the sides of Mount Hood. None of It Is from giaciul streams, however. The source of Bull Run River is Bull Run Lake. This is shut oft by elevations from melting glacial snow and Is fed entire ly by springs. Bull Run water Is used exclusively on all passenger trains leaving Port land and Its use Is advertised by the railroads. It is so well and favorably known that it lias probably been the deciding factor with many a person who has come to make this city his home. OREGON PRODUCTS OPEN EYES OF VISITORS AT LAND SHOWS State, Through Commercial Organizations, Sends Creditable Ex hibits to Big Fairs ia Eastern Cities. J9T! 1900 1890 1 46.385. 90.-2C5 90 SJ?

IOHTI.tMI'9 PnriLATlOV MORK TH AX POI BI.KS EACH DECADK DCRINO the last few years Oregon has astonished people ln several Eastern cities by the excellence of her exhibits at the various land shows. Wherever Oregon products have been displayed ln competition with the best from other states. Oregon has won signal honors. Nevertheless the Ore gon exhibits have been far Inferior to what trev might have been had wider interest been taken in Die preparation. It Is probable that Oregon henceforth will be more adequately represented at these shows. Land shows in the Eastern and Mid dle Western cities are becoming more numerous with each succeeding year. In some eltles they have begun as newspaper enterprises but have usually been taken over by the municipalities. They are among the most valuable channels for advertising the resources of the different states' with a view to Induce more people to take up agricul tural pursuits. The. Pittsburg Land Show was the first of a series of similar exhibitions held in the last few months. It wa open October 13 to 28 and was well at tended. The Oregon Development League maintained a booth at this show and' made a very creditable display. The opening of this show was followed. October 16 to 28 by the Omaha Land Show, which was established two years ago. and lias been a (narked success. The Oregon Development League also took space t this show, but turned It over to a group of Willamette Valley cities Eugene. Albany. Salem and Cor vailis. P. C Freeman, manager of the Eugene Commercial Club, took a fine collection of Oregon products to Oma ha, where they attracted much atten tion. In the two largest land shows of the country, held ln New York and Chicago, Oregon had no representation through its commercial organizations. It was not entirely without display, however, as the railroads that serve this terri tory collected products and showed them in their general display, which Included other states served by the same lines. The Great Northern had two carloads of Oregon products at the New York show, which was held No vember 3 to 12. They were In charge of F. W. Graham, of Portland. Western Immigration agent of the Great North ern. At the Chicago Fair, which was held November 18 to December 9, Ore gon was also well represented ln a $20. 000 display collected by the Harriman railroads. Another important factor in advertis ing Oregon was the "Governors' Spe cial." a train that carried displays from 10 Western states throughout the East. This train, on which several Governors from the 10 states were present at all times, left Bt. Paul on November 27. went through the East and South and returned to St. Paul ln time for the Land Show held there from December 12 to 23. Commercial club officers are urging that Oregon be still better represented at these land shows the coming year. They declare that while the railroad exhibits are very beneticial. the com mercial organisations should also have a separate display at each show. More money will be needed to finance these exhibits, and It will be necessary for individual communities to take an in terest in their collection.
