Those who have bean keeping In cloee
touch with the situation have arrived at
the conclusion that thara Is going to be
a greater volume of freight shipped by
the water route to the California ports
thla year than during any two -previous
eeaaoua. On account of tha war hi tha
orient, they explain, thara will bo very
little lumbar aent to tha far east. -It
la believed that tha prod net of tha saw

on the steamers and steam schooners.
Tha statement Is mads that tha lumber
and wheat trade la Just opening up in

aaen by the largo number of, outside
boats Which have been recently char
tered to handle tha growing traffic,
thirlna the-Daat few weeks Taylor,

OXiDB
UMIh" POM
f.
(serial Dtspsttt a Tas-Jeeraal.)
Salem, Or.. Sept a. There" Waa a
meeting of the Balem Commercial club
last night to consider a propoaltlon
made, by Mr. I Uerllnger, prealdont of
tha Dallas-Falls City Railroad company,
for the oonatrucrton of a road connect
ing that line with thla city. The text
of the proposition of Mr. Uerllnger, by
which he offers to give a blanket mort
gage upon the entire road from Psll
City to Wast Salem, la as rolrw:
"Our present line from Palls City to
Dallas la about tea miles In length, -nd
coat ua considerably ovar flSO.oOO. We
figure that the Salem end. In the manner
we should want to build It and aquip tt,
would coat up at leaat $10,000. All ws
ask of your city Is a free right of amy
from Wast Balem to Derry, to 0 feet
In width, probably toss than that, if tba
Una passes through something valuable,
then t feet would aava to do; enough
ground at West Balem for terminals and
yards, roundhouse, etc.. and a loan of
1100,000 for algbt or tan years at I par
oent Interest, tha same payabla semi
annually nt any Balem bank or wher
ever you may decide. .
"To secure thla loan af 1 100. 0v, wa
ahould be willing to give you a blanket
mortgage on tha whole road,, from West
Salem to Palls City depot, a diets noe at
about It miles. ' This loaa oan-certainly
be regarded aa gUtadga. aa It la only
about 40 per cent of tba valua, of the
property, aa you will readily ssa that
we ouraslvss have more Invaatad In
tha tea miles alone than tha -, loan
amounts to.
"Aa to tha earning capacity of the
road, I am satlened that the property
can be made to pay handsomely, other
wise I. should certainly not want to
build It and give our present ten miles
as security, as ws ara doing well as K
Is. Our road now pay a the Interest on
.lleo.voa,' operating expenaea, I mainte
nance and leavea a surplus for a divi
dend on stock or a sinking fund."
Mr. Osrllngar mads a second propo
sition also, which provides .that the
business men of Salem should make
him a loan'-of 9&,009 per mils, thus mak
ing It possible for htm to extend his
line further to tha waetward K ha should
so elect. .
Tba former proposition seemed to
meet with favor, and tba sama com
mittee that has had Jha matter in hand
was Instructed to go ahead with tt and
endeavor to raise tha amount neces
sary for -the consummation of tha pro
nosed 'project. Tbs proposition lo con
sidered feasible and thara seams resr
son to believe that tt will be carried
through. - ' -i
