Nothing we done by congress toward adopting this project, and m 103 a board of engineer offloere was convened to re port upon the practicability ef a boat railway, which method of Improvement was then favored by congress. There were to be two hydraulic lifts for raising boats eut ef the water, one at the lower end TT feet high and one at tbe upper end M feet high. Tbe estimated cost waa LsaxSMM. The board recommended a free government portage road to be built at onoe. and used ontll the demands of navigation should suae the beat railway necessary. A second beard waa convened In ltot to reconsider these plane. They again recommended the free portage road, but substituted a canal and looks for the boat railway for. permanent improvement. in August, UN, suaem, and In June. Uet. tl 10,000 were appropriated for b boat railway, but no provtotoa waa made for the portage road. A part of the right of Way for a boat railway was obtained, the line carefully surveyed and mid out and preliminary plane drawn, but ao actual oenetruotlon begun. Pursuant to an act ef congress, dated June t im, a project was submitted on November M, UN, for the improve ment of tbe river between Big Eddy and Celtic by mesas of two canals and looks. The first eanal was to ba about one and one-half mllee long extending from Big Eddy (the toot of Five-Mile rapids) to the head of eald rapids on the Oregon shore. The river from there to the foot of th fells at Ceillo waa te be Improved by means of a submerged dam near the head ef Ptve-Mile rapids (which dam was calculated te raise tba water surface feet), and by etoarlng out aome rocks farther up stream. Although this plan for two short eanais with Intermediate improvement was practically approved by congress, the river and harbor Mil of Juaa U. 1M1, authorised the appointment of a board of angieeers to review the project wtth the proviso that k a cheaper plan could be devised It should be adopted by the secretary of war and the money heretofore appropriated (In eluding an authorisation for oontraete not to ee-eeed tM.oa additional) for the boot railway, could be applied to said of Congress.

One soon sees that the question of rates affeota not only the road one to dealing with, but all roads la the same territory (ths three trans continental reeds) the Interests of the railroads nowadays are ao Interlocked and Interlinked, one might say so In- dissolubly Intermingled, one with an other, that it to elmost Impossible to get anything accomplished; because, al though one road may agree with you. and be willing to act, or even perhaps the efllctals of two roe do may think alike, still the third will not agree be cause ft eireeta his line differently. Or, and thie te a ease that baa lately aome to my knowledge, one may auk a road to change what to known as a grouping of certain commodities (a grouping is where shippers are allowed to include Sene carload various kinds of auods a similar nature et one rate of freight) on purely local shipments on one of these road a; one goes to the general freight agent, lays the matter before him. explalna bow It affects the merchants dealing In those art lot ea, shows him It la not detrimental to tbe interests of hie rood end finally gain bis consent: you go awsy satisfied end think you have aocompllshsd something; you hardly reach your office whea you are asked by telephone to go bach again. Tou are then told that In looking ever the matter It U discovered that if this change to made as requested would be neoeeeary to make tt apply to the whole mala line, not to a certain part a you requested; because, according te tow. a railroad oaa not charge a higher rate for a shorter than a longer haul on tbe aame good when the long haul includes the short haul. All right, put tt In on the whore line then. But wait! At this point (nay half way) our line crosses thto ether line, ee they will have to make the same grouping and rate at this point, and It they do It here the same tow ap plies and they, too, must make ths same change all along their Una, ao you must get tbatr consent, and then It can be done. Tou go to the general freight agent of th competing line, go through with tha aame conversation and finally gala him over. But be says, "Now. yon know, we must make the same rate eut of the eound cities," and that bring the third line Into tbe question. The gen eral freight agent of thto line eaya, "Well, we will change the grouping for you, but If we change tt from tbe ooast eaatbound Into the interior, we must also change It from ear eastern terminals (HI Paul and Mlnneepoito) westbound." That aettto Itl - That la Juet exactly what you don't wan done, becauee you don't want the middle west Jobber to bave any more Heme added to the large grouping he already enjoys and ao you drop H. Tou see what great trouble a little matter has caused?

Tbe aame comparison on 11 articles, Including agricultural implements, bard ware, 1 ignore, paints.' paper, groceries and stamped and enameled wars, shews that the rate from Facino coast termi nals east to the midway point average 90 per cent higher than from St. Paul and Omaha west; aad across the states of Oregon and Washington east they av erage 141 per oent higher than for the aame dlstanoee from It. Paul west. The above showing I startling, evea te those who have been shipping heavily 'for years, and who were aware Jthat freight rates en thie coast are high. I venture to etate that ao ablpper stong this whole coast waa aware what a tremendous difference in rates existed between the two parts af the same rail road system. Of course, the railroads will plead that rate on this coast enould naturally be higher than in th middle west, be cause, the population la not so dense aa in the east, and the ooet of doing buel aese in the west to greater. ' Bat no one would believe for an Instant that thee Heme should make 'any euoh im mense dlfferanoee In freight ratee. The truth of the matter to, these rates war Instituted year ago, whea the railroads were first built and when the west coast had but few inhabitants, and have been changed but allghtly sines, although de velopment bee been progressing more and mere rapidly every year, until now the towns and cities along the lines of theee roads la Oregon and Washington are as many and as large as the towns and cities at ths eastern end Of theee read a. I really do not believe tbe rail road officials themselves are aware of the normoua difference between west ern and middle western freight ratee. and aa I eald before, I believe with the eromulgatlou ef the above Sgoree by our freight association, a speedy and radical redaction In distributive freight ratee from ooaat cUtoe should .occur.
