statement la more than a mere imurid
tlon haa become o plainly apparent that
the moat oonaervatlve tranaportatlon
Judgea freely admit It a a fact . Speed,

ing public aeeka, and one or all are ab
atint from the railroad Una between
. Portland and San Franolaoo and the
preeent Harrlman ateamshlpa that op
erate along thla coast. The company
' that will put on a few faat ateamera,

' aafety, powerful engines for apeed, and
cabin appointmenta befitting a modern
ocean-going pasaenger Teasel, would do
an enormoua and profitable business,
hips Beat the Train.
" The trains of the Southern Pacific
between San Francisco and Portland
travel 771 miles, at about IS miles an
hour. Chips can make the voyage
within I0 miles, and with proper con
struction can easily make 20 miles an
hour. Thus -the-passenger by vessel
would go from San Francisco to Port
land luxuriously and aafely In II hours,
. while the trip by rail requires II hours
and frequently 40 to 41 houra, as the
Shasta route tralna arc uaually from
two to 10 houra late.
More and more It la becoming a con
viction In the mlnda of the people that
a fast steamship Una exclusively for
passengers la the best solution of the
. transportation problem between Port
land and San Francisco. The ahlpa that
Mr. Harrlman rune are freight vessels,
and of very ancient type. There la no
1 mora .reason In trying to carry pas
sengrers on a freight ship than on a
freight train.- It would be aa logical to
'abolish all passenger .' tralna on the
Southern Pacific railroad and substitute
"mixed tralna" aa It la to carry on the
existing steamship service by the Har
rlman companies between Portland and
San Francisco. There are the prevail
ing views among business men, travelers
. and shippers, who have for years been
in close touch with local conditions on
this coast, and who have been patiently
waiting for the existing transportation
company to Inaugurate a service that
would be up with the times and would
devulop inattad of repress bualneaa
Hsrrlmaa Advertisement Xaock.
The Harrlman railroad ltnea have
in departments, expended three times
aa mucn money annually as la spent by
the Old Colony Steamship line which

arter he comes here and gets the serv
ice by water and rail that are given by
for rail and water transportation are
the Harrlman lines, will probably never
oome again. The highest rates Known
spent a great deal of money advertising
the beauty and grandeur of the Pacific
coast, and Inducing people to make the
trip for pleasure or for permanent set
tlement here. It Is probable that these
t companies have, through their advertis-
charred by the Harrlman lines on the
Paclflo ooat, and the poorest service
goes witn these man rates.
. It haa been the history of tranaporta
tlon comDanlea that the Dublio must
force tnem to exnand and Improve. The
Brat principle of a transportation man

hla next principle is to let well enough
alone. Once he geta the profit on tne
rla-ht alda of tha lariiTAr ha resents any
sugrestlon of rates, because they mlaht
overturn the results of his Ions and dif
ficult efforts to make the line pay. In
hla concentration of thouaht over the
detail problems of his business, he falls
to see the laraer nhase of the situation
and the greater growth that la awaltln
greater facilities and lower rates. The
railroad companies that few years ago
were aahast at the aucaestlnn of two
cents per mile are today making more
money at that rate than ever before In
their history. The streetcar lines that
formerly -charged 10 cents per passen
ger for distant auburbs, are today un
able to furnish enough cars to carry the
residents of those suburbs built up by
five-cent face, and now furnishing the
ouie or xne company s revenues, mir
ing the same period the stocks of all
these companies have risen to more
than double their former value.

Put the Sartoln into a pint of

Thla Is to be applied daily, and
