Understand Water Tata.
"We have the same ocean, the same
markets, beautiful ' mountains, vast
areas of rich and tributary territory,
. but a' different spirit prevails. To a
Canadian, from th sailor to the farmer
in the remotest province, one does not
nave to preach th gosoel of tha bene
fit of water carriage, for Its competitive
influences are so apparent that anyone
who runs may read.
"Montreal, the chief seaport of Can
ada, Is about 700 miles from the sea.
The fit Lawrenoe Is a swift river with
narrow channels and requiring dredg
ing, and above Montreal a number of
lockages yet we find deep-sea vessels
discharging cargo and loading wheat
at tha head of Lake Superior at Port
Arthur and Fort William, over 1.600
pi Ilea from the ocean, and carrying car
go cneaper loan can be done by rail.
"Last year Port William, a town of
11.000 DODUlatlon. ahlnned over il.000.-
000 bushels of errain and 1.711 vessels
arrived and departed. It is 1.647 miles
from Liverpool, of which distance about
860 ml lea Is lake and river navigation
and 1.600 ocean. In order to save sev
eral hundred miles' navigation through
Lakes Huron. Erie and Ontario the
building or a canal from some point
on the northern shore of Lake Huron
to the Ottawa river in the province of
Ontario Is being seriously considered.
"I only give this instance as illustra
tive of what others are doing who un
derstand what water transportation
means, and also to Impress upon our
own people here in Portland two fact
first, that being 100 miles from the
sea, provided there is deep water is no
handicap, but rather an advantage, and
that, situated as Portland is, the de
velopment of our waterways muet be
the fundamental plank in our platform.
Cheap transportation is the controlling
unit In commercial life, and we have it
potentially and to some extent actually,
and it Is In our Dower to extend it so
as to cover all territory naturally tribu
tary to jroruana."

and with the opening of the Panama
oanal and the deepening of the Missis

tion of the country to water competi
tion, the coast can certainly hold Its
own under any circumstances, or water
transportation Is a delusion and a
snare.
Briefs are to be filed in this the
Portland gateway case by September
1, and It will, in my opinion, be some
time before it Is decided. In the mean
time conditions may ao change that
the apparent necessity for opening the
gateway may exist It must be borne
n mind that tn rai mux in tns co-
eoanut in this case was not that the
sound lumbermen did not have a rout
to th mlddl west territory, but they
lacked cars, so that if tha oar move
ment increases I look to see the in

The commission hasn t the power to
arbitrarily create through routes and
joint rates, but only where certain con
ditions prevail such as no existing sat

be no justification, provided a reason
ably satisfactory one existed".

Coal Is now selling for from t to

There are about 11 cargoes of Austral'
Ian coal or about 46,000 tons due for

The wood men say there Is a corner
on the coal situation in Portland. They
say that the coal companies sell coal
at $10 and $11 a ton to the consumer
and that when It Is handled by the
dealers other than those who act as
agents for the bunker companies that
a profit of only $1.25 a ton is allowed
which does not pay for the handling.
The wood dealers are therefore unable
to handle coal, or If the ydo it is at a
