Fnrmer. shippers, commission men
and the railroads more particularly the
latter are keeping constant watch upon
the proposed open river.
It la realized that the removal of the
obstruction to navigation at The Dalles
or the opening of a portage railroad over
which grain and other freight would be
moved at "cost charges.'' would be-a
kid for millions of bushels of wheat that
under no other possible- condition could
be diverted from m get Sound point
to the Port of Portland, and the prob
lem of handling that grain, if the port
age road were to-be opened today, It is
admitted, would be a serious one.
To those who have studied the
subject, great benefit to the Pacific
orthwest. other than reducing tne
Marges on grain to tide water, has been
deducted from the portage railroad proj
ect. For years the railroad lines have
been contented with the mileage already
built and have rested and drawn im
mense interest on their money Invested.
By reducing through open navigation the
rate of Interest and taking away the
business tributary to the rivers. Jt H
claimed the roads will be compelled to
construct branch lines to Interior points.
The method of figuring out this result
Is plain. Those who have studied ship
ping say it Is a many times demonstrated
fact that water transportation win not
be used where Tall Is handler. By this
Is meant that a farmer will not haul ft
long- distance to the river and subject his
wheat to the delays of river shipment If
the railroad Is built past Ms door, and
all he has to do Is to dump his crops In
the company warehouse and leave the
responsibility with the shipper.
Knowledge of this fact, it is urged,
will cause the railroad companies to
construct new lines Into districts that
have heretofore remained without trans
portation facilities other than by means
of wagons. This saving of 'long team
hauls" will be of great Importance to
the farmers.
May Mean Railroad War.
There is also a possibility. It Is claim
ed,' of arraying the Harriman Interests
agninst those of James J. Hill, in the
river business.
It Is a well-known fact that the O.
R. & N. Co. owns many steamboats
which could, readily be placed in- com
mission for tow and carrying purposes.
With these It would be possible for the
Harriman corporation to steam up the
Columbia from Wallula and Invade a
section -of the Northwest
to now been sacred to
ershlp of Hill and his associates. We
natehee, Watervllle and other points
would then have rates to Portland, as
well as rates to Puget Sound.
In a measure, this has been possible
Ince the vast wheat districts of Cen
tral Washington were developed, but
shippers claim the O. R. & N. did not
follow out such a course because it
would bring about a rate war and demon
atrate the fact that existing rates were
far too high. The company would rather
sacrifice the upper Columbia River busi
ness than puncture its own armor.
. With the portage railroad in and the
river open, however, all this reason for
concealment would vanish, for It Is to
prevent the portage project that the
railroad has long been laboring.
"Own the theatres on Sundays!" ts the
cry of a vast body of reformers in New
York who see nothing wrong in allow
ing performances to be held on the Sab
bath day. . The movement has become
organized and the famous theatrical
lawyer, Will Grossman, representing 20
leading New-York theatres. Is waging a
hot lesal flcht for the Innovation. Mr.
Qrossman has a long list of victories and
Is the idol of the theatrical profession.
In the world, and to overcome the obsta
cles which the rapids at The Dalles pre
sent. Is a matter of the greatest impor
tance. One hundre1 and sixty thousand
dollara Is a bagatelle, compared to the
benefits which will accrue: from the Im
provement now contemplated."
John . icgan, Court Librarian: -"The
portage road isfa project that should by
all mean be carried ut The Erie"
Canal, built more than three-quarters of
a century ago. has always been an onset
to usurious freight rate, wnicn wouiu

the Columbia River will become one of
the greatest carriers In the world."
