FAVORITISM OF RAILROADS Kates Were Had That Small Shipper Coaia Hot Tooth and Remsia e BadnessAgitation by Pwple Has Established Commissions, Aids. Etc WASHINGTON. Aug. 24. Never De fer in the history of the United Stte hu there been such ctivity. both by the federal gOTernment and the individ ual state, in the development, of water ways. The country ia entering on an ra f canals never equalled in the wee ten hemisphere. The activity results bom two causes, the effect of which havt been felt a equally in California and Massachusetts aa in Minnesota and 'Texas. The first cause was found in the gross feveritism shown powerful shippers by th railroads. Rebates and special con sideration in the matter of furnishing owe enabled the big corporation to flour kh at the expense of the small shipper. The people finally arose, and the result la been a deluge of federal and state fees which conflict and cloud the situa tion, working hardship alike to the rail mad and their natrons. The- second cause culminated in the freight congestion of last winter and spring. Whole communities in the Ksrthwest perishing because the rail roads could not find the cars in which to had coal to them, and. farmers with then- orainaries burst in? with wheat un able to purchase even the necessities of we because of the lack of cars in which to get their grain to market, aroused the country to the fact that the railroads had not kept pace with industry. Com merce had outstripped them and con tinued orosperitr was jeopardized. Then it wag that the people awoke to the campaign being waged by the Na tional Rivers 4 Harbor Congress. Thi srganization had foreseen these condi tion. It had been declaring for five years thatinot only would developed wa terways naturally and logically settle the rate question, but that the railroads were rapidly reaching the stage when they would be absolutely unable to han dle the freight of the country. The re sult Was that the nation swung with enthusiastis energy into the work of re habilitating its rivers and of building eanalt Surveys have just been completed for the canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio Eiver. When the waterway is comple ted it will be possible for Lake vessels to carry ore direct from Lake Superior to the great furnaces in the Pittsburg district and to transport coal from the Western Pennsylvania mines to upper sake ports. . : Florida has let- the contracts for a eana! from Jacksonville to Key West, s distance- of 500 miles; it is to be fin ished in five years and is to cost $2, 00,000. New Yorfc has approved a Bond issue of $100,000,000 for the Erie Canal; the State of Washington is con idering the appropriation of $8,000,000 for the construction of a ship channel 3 feet deep to connect the water ol Pu get Sound and Lake Washington, and Massachusetts is about to have a ship canal cut across Cape Cod, which, when completed, will permit vessels plying be tween Boston and New York to take the "inside route' all the way. There are scores of other project ei ther underway or being carefully con sidered. There is the deep waterway from the Lakes to the Gulf; the Mennepin canal in Illinois; the canal being con structed in Louisiana which will open up the rich lumber district, and the movement afoot to construct a greater and more comprehensive canal st Sault Ste. Marie because of the enormous in crease in lake tonnage. toinsImssels (Continued "from Page I) ! inspect all ships coming from San Fran cisco and fumigate suojeet to or ders. All the stations will work to gether in the matter and if there are germs of the bubonic plague brougnt w this port or other Oregon ports in ships from San Francisco they will have harsh treatment in reaching port. One of the local officers ideas wiu oe out in use for preventing rati from going onto vessel while in port This is a "rat funnel." It is placed on tne lino which hold the shin to the dock with the flare pointing toward the ship. The funnel, which resembles a megs- Dhone. is made of tin or sine and when s rat tries to run down s rope snd board a ship the funnel is an obsolute pre ventative. Naturally.- the inspection of every Tea sel tailing from San Francisco will put a west amount of work' on Dr. Holt land he expects that from time to time he will have to appoint assistants to inspect the ship. The work will be over: three times as hard as heretofore ... i . . 1 1.1.-1 ii- ano. will oe tne Dusiesx lima mai mr office has had since its location here. The doctor may appoint s special as sistant here but was not sure about that yesterday. But ships arriving here bound for Portland will have one of the local doctors assigned to it similarly as Dr. Mohn was in the case of tne Uosta Kica yesterday. INDEPENDENT LINE (Continued from Page 1) are plenty of means behind it. The only thing delaying construction is a few small suits against the roads right 01 nay in Clatsop county and s few points alone the line. The construction will commence at tne Clatsop county end and the road will be built down to the mouth of tne Lewis and Claric and brought to Astoria around Smith' Point. The fact that Oregon has no law like that in other states, allow ing the railroads to commence work af ter the suit has been filed, is all that prevents the work from going ahead at the present moment. In spite of this .Mr. Reid asserts, construction would cemmenee if the contested parties were not spread at wide intervals oyer the survey. As it is, progress has to wait the leisure of the courts.
