Completion of Two New Upper River
Steamers and Letting of New Contract
on Celilo Canal Means Saving of Mil
lions to Shippers and Producers.
Willi Immediate prospect for a con
tinulng contract ut the Cellro eanul. the
completion of tho Smyth & Jones con
Btructlon contract, and a new $700,000
contract about to be let by the gov
ernment, and at tlx same time all con
tracts let for complete construction of
two large new steamers for the upper
Columbia river, the long campaign for
a publlo transportation highway through
the Inland empire seems to be nearly
won for the people. It Is up to the
people of the towns and counties along
the great water route to support the
water transportation lines.
Great Servant of People.
This vast system of water transpor
tation approximates about 600 miles,
running through the most productive
empire west of the Rocky mountains.
On the system are upward of 60 "stops"
or stations, helnr various boat land
ings between Portland and Priest Rap
Ids on the Columbia, and Lewlston on
the Snake river.
These landings afford river transpor
tation for the country for miles Inland,
and In addition they ojisrate to reduce
rates and lncreaso facilities between the
river and Inland points on the railroads
mat connect with the river lines.
I'nder existing rates by rail and
river, the shipper may ship Into Kenne
wkk by water, for exumple, and ship
out on local rail rates to Inland points,
at a saving of several dollars per ton.
The railroads will thus serve their pur
pose and secure a share of the business,
while the river will act as the main
artery to carry the tonnage from the
wholesale and manufacturing point to
the nearest rail line connection up river.
This system of transportation, when
developed by the prospective steamer
lines, will out Wnlla Walla, Dayton,
Pendleton, Umatilla and similarly sit
uated Inland points practlcully on water
transportation, for by using the river
as the main artery they will be en
abled to get commodities to their stores
and farms at water rates for the larger
rnrt of the trip. Car shortages will
hus be minimized, and rates lowered.
Increased Facilities.
The primary purpose of water trans
portation and an open river Is not to
take away business from existing linos
more than it should be taken by the
naturnl movement of commerce along
the chnnnel of the lowest cost. The
river rates arc eo low that ft combina
tion of through water rate and rail
local rat" saves the people money in
every Instance on shipments destined to
Inland, territory. The river lines also
afford a convenient mode of passing
shipments along from point to point on
the river or contiguous to It. Ship
ments between Intermediate points on
the river will be quickly and easily
handled when the three boats are In
commission.
It Is suggested that the two new
bouts must have appropriate names.
n-,l the Open River association Is about
r-udy to receive nominations. The boats
will be the finest river craft that has
floated on tho upper Columbia, and their
names should be characteristic and dig
nified it is suld. commemorating some
historic spot or event, or some Individ
ual whose name is closely linked with
the history of the river.
Construction of the two new boats at
Celilo will be commenced within a few
days. When completed the upper river
will have three good boats, one operat
ing to Priest Rapids, one to Paspo and
Kennewlck connection with the Priest
Rapids line, and one to Lewlston. These
boats will stop at all Intermediate
points.
Boats of Vast Benefit.
From a commercial standpoint the
operation of these steamers will be of
great benefit not only to Portland,
out to all river points as well as for
a long distance back from the river.
The successi. of the enterprise Is ab
solutely In tabe hands of the shippers
and those wis will receive the direct
benefit from their operation.
No names have vet been chosen for
the two new steamboats and The Jour
nal would be glad to receive sugges
tions to siromlt to the company. The
names must be typical of this country
and stand for something. Let every
one interested send In their choice. It
is expected unless something unforeseen
occurs that one of the boats will be the present campaign tho'rlghts of tha
the laboring men wr amiln tnt-fted
down, but when they took their appeal
to Uenver It was granted. Concluding
his speech In an Impassioned appeal
10 me voters to get out and take a
hand In the campaign, which he predict
ed would be a hot one before It ended
In November. Judge O'Day read a let
ter from Governor George K. Chamberlain.
I he governor's letter outlined the
present political situation In a manner
which left no doubt upon the crowd
as to the manner in which the people
of the country would be forced to vote
If they followed out their convictions.
Governor Chamberlain stated in his let
ter that If Roosevelt had entered the
campaign as a candidate that he would
have been Invincible, because of his well
known policies. The letter stated that
Roosevelt had been unable to do much
In the way of aiding the people In
securing laws for their protection be
cause of congress. Governor Chamber
lain urged that Hryan hns always been
the same advocate of the same prin
ciples which Roosevelt hns fought for
and Is now. Hp was positive In his con
viction that Hryan would be elected
In November because as the letter ex
plained, "He Is and always will be the
ciitmipion ur me people.
BarrU Makes Hot Bemarks.
Both Judge O'Day and Governor
Chamberlain's sentiments were heartily
applauded and Judge O'Day then Intro
duced R. A. Harris, editor of the Labor
Press, who threw a bombshell that im
mediately threw the large crowd Into
raptures when his first sentence de
clared that If he had the vote of the
American federation to cast at the No
vember election he would cast It for
Bryan.
V Harris explained that Samuel Gom-
pers, as head of tho American laboring
men. went to Chicago to a-et the !!.-
publican convention to grant to the
laDoring men wliat President Roosevelt
had attempted to get from congress.
Like Roosevelt, Gnmpers failed and had
to go to lonvcr before he could secure
favorable action nn legislation for the
workingmen. Harris said that all Gom-
pers got at Chicago was a lot of mean-
inmess worns. (
senator M. A. Miller was the next
speaker and ho touched up the Repub
lican weak spots and declared that the
ngnis or tne p.opl,- were at Issue In
completed by the last of October, the
other by the middle of November, when
they will go in active service. This
will put every town on the river from
Lewlston and Pasco to Portland on a
water basis so far as rates tre con
cerned. Pending the completion of the two
larger boats It is expected If the busi
ness offered Justifies, to place the Re
lief on the run between Alder Creek
and Celilo. The company intends to
give good servleo when they start, and
make It -a valuable adjunct In the trans
portation flaM of the northwest.
"It brines back memories of the old
days to rilnk of the regular operation
of boats on these rivers, said a mem
ber of the Open River association. "The
.1. N. Teal Is operating reirtilarlv to
The. Dalles and In a few days will ex
tend Its run to tho tig Eddy.
"When the new boats are completed
they can handle a large tonnage ex
peditiously, and It Is safe to assume
that at all river points the railroads
will keep a sharp lookout for business.
Business Zs Heeded.
"The only way boats can be kept In
successful operation Is by having busi
ness, and It requires no long explana
tion to point out the Importance of ade
quate support for the steamers from
the towns and
rivers
people against the greed of the corpora
tions.
Mayor Iane.
Then crime Mayor Harry Lane, who
dwelt seriously upon the issues before
the people. He was given a great
ovation and was compelled to stand
waiting for several minutes until the
crowd cheered Itself out. He started in
and swung from the shoulder and told
the people that It was up to thm to
see that their rights were enforced.
He said It whs their duty to see that
the kind of a man should be elected
who would Insure the people a govern
ment for the people. He said that Rrvnn
whs this kind of rt man and cloned with
a brief eulogy upon the honesty and
capabilities or the great commoner.
Stevenson's Clever Hit.
John H. Stevenson, former deputy
district attorney undir John Manning,
made a great hit with the audience
ana was more loudly cheered than any
of the other speakers when he de
clared that "when the people go to the
polls in November and choose between
Taft the imitator and Bry.an the inltH
ta. thftjF-rflsJUi. want their presidential
goods done up In the original pack
age
Fowler said It was all right, because
ne bad figured out tho cost, tatting tne
bank deposits of the banks of the qoun
try for 40 years, or, from the time na
tional osnks were lounaea. s u".
Taft said that the plan would bring the
banks tumbllnr down In ruin. Yet
Fowler figured out that It would cost
the national banks but S7-1.000 of 1
per cent upon their deposits to Insure
the deposit one thirty-seventh of 1
cent on $1,000 for one year. Taft says
that such a ruinous tax on the bunks
would bring them tumbling down in
ruin. If the national banks of this
country are founded on such a basis; l
they are so rottenlv managed and so
far from the first element of business
principles then I say let us bring mem
tumbling down and start a new system
"But they are not so founded and
thev would not come to ruin and every
body knows It who knows anything. It
Is but another Republican method of
telling th people that tney aon i "now
how to get what they want. And while
the Republicans refused to Insert a
plank in their Chicago platform for the
Insurance of national bank deposits the
Democrats did at Denver and the people
are once more given their choice In
choosing between the two parties for
securing the grant or one or meir u
mands. Tariff Beforms Chimeras.
"The Republicans say give us four
more years and we will revise the tariff.
They have had 12 years and the country
Is tired of waiting. If the tariff Is
wrong why have the Republicans waited
for a revision and if it is rlslit why do
thoy want to revise it?
"The Republicans repudiated the pub
licity of camnalan contributions at the
Chicago convention and the Democrats
advocated H at Denver. Taft saw the
error made by the Republican conven
tion and in his speech or aocepiance
said that he would advocate It after he
gets in the White House. Whyf , Bo
that he can have Mr. IJaxriman some
In at the laBt minute with a 1250,000.
eontrlbutlonT Or that the large insur
ance companies in New York can come
In with $600,000 each? If Taft wants
It after he is In why doesn't he want It
now? Whv didn't the Republicans say
so at Chicago;
Speaks of Oriental Labor.
Senator Oenrln then dwelt upon the
Importation of Asiatic coolie labor and
snowed u era in now tne kodu n rans hi
Chicago failed to corryplv with tho
wlshe of the people and how the Dem
ocrats at Denver embodied this request
in the platform. He continued the com
parison to the matter of Injunctions and
trusts and the railroad rate bill. Of
the latter he said that he was proud
that be had voted for It while In the
senate, but that it was forced through
bv the Democrats. He said that It was
still defective and should be amended
so as to Include an assessment of the
value of the railroads a physical val
uation which would make it Impossible
to issue capital on watered stock. Oh
all of these important measures Sen
ator Oearln showed un the policy of the
Republicans In keeping their hands free
and from making an expression con
cerning them.
He concluded by saying that the Re
publicans have to please the corpora
tions and to trv to please the people.
He said that they would fall down In
trying to please both. He said that the
Issue trite year is whether the people
will rule or whether the corporation
would remain In power.

SIGNAL COUPS
IS TO Ut FOIilD
Immediately upon the return of the
Oregon troops from the Joint ' encamp
ment at American lake work will be
commenced on the formation of a signal
corps to be located In Portland. So far
as the Oregon state troops are con
cerned this will be an entirely new
Kranch of servloe andwlll require even
higher efficiency than any other depart
ment, as -the men will be taught teleg
raphy and the use of the wireless In
connection with the regular military
training. The proposed signal corps
will be composed of three officers and
about 40 men, all of whom will be
mounted.
Adjutant General William E. Flnzer
said yesterday that he had for some
time realised the need of this depart
ment and that be would probably attend I
to tne aetaus or its organization very
soon.
The troops have been divided Into
three sections for the purpose of trans
portation. The first section under Co:
onel McDonnell will leave Monday morn
ing at 7 o'clock. This section will con
sist of headquarters of the Third in
fantry, the. band and Companies K K, II
and C.
The second section will be under the
command of Major F. S. Raker and wfTl
consist of headquarters of the Fourth
and Companies H, D and K of the Fourth
Infantry and Companies D. B, F and O
of .the Third. This section will depart
at 9:30.
The third section under Major F. N.
Dunbar will leave at 11 .Vol nek and
will consist of Companies A. I, L and M
of Jhe Third and A, C. F, G and H of
thr Fourth.
According to the rerord In the hands
of Colonel McDonnell this year will

i said In part:
"We Democrats can feel the senti

with an enthusiasm that comes from
the sentiment of the people. This en
thusiasm and sentiment are not ex
pressed hero nlone but In all parts of
the country wherever tho voice of the

.the masses of the people have adopted
the Democratic platform and the can
didates. It is not strange that it
should bo so. You people who have
watched the trend of events for iTTo past
few years must have observed that a
spirit of Investigation has prevailed.
This spirit has Invaded overvthlng po
litical, but while of political tendency
it has outgrown the politicians and has
gone everywhere.
"It Is not a surface movement, but
stirs the lowest depth of popular
thought. It is not local or personal In
Its aims, but it as widespread as the
boundaries or the nation, and these rati
fication meetings, such as the one we
ore holding tonight, are but the mark
ings of the common pulse of tho coun
try. Will Correct Evils.
"These meetings are little In them
selves, but set In motion the national
feeling which throbs and pulsates and
which Is not a little thing. It Is an In
spiration to us; It will corroct evils and
evil practices which havo crept Into our
government through the policies of de
lay following the Republican promises.
"The nation and the people have
frown tired of the sham and promises
that mean nothing. This Republican
party which has bad control for 12
years now stands arraigned before the
people. What answer can It make to
the charge of betroyal of the people?
The Republican platnrm and Taft's
speech of acceptance are but apologies
taction without being characterized as
trusts and prosecuted as such.
Speech Is a Vote-Getter.
Close friends of Rryan assert that tho
speech of acceptance will, when made,
prove very potent in securing votes.
From the letters that are beinp re
ceived by Rryan It dally becomes more
evident that party lines are belnsj "shot
to pieces" everywhere. Men formerlv
known as Democrats am actively sup

Republicans are out In the open. As a
