Another and extremely painful thorn was driven Into the aids of the railroad that hav contrived to keep freight rate between Portland and the upper ' Columbia and Snake river wheat grow ing distances at an exorbitant figure, yesterday morning, when the new steamer Inland Empire was launched at Celllo. : The important feature of this launch ing is that the Inland Empire slid Into the Columbia above Celllo falls, and not below thorn, ' She is aa upper river boat, - built especially for upper river service, and when she begins her regular trips will establish a schedule between Celllo and Pasoo, Kennewiek and Lewlston, Idaho, that will enable the merchants . of the Inland Empire region to get goods from Portland at an enormous saving and open the way for wheat from the Inland Empire to tidewater at . this city. - -. Just how big this saving will be the person accustomed to ordinary Increases and decreases In freight rates can have no idea. - Usually a lower freight rate on a certain commodity mean that the merchant will make a small increase of profit on his stock of goods. The con- turner never know the difference, or It - comes about In such a gradual way that ha does not realise it JSeana Blg Saving. -. But the establishment of river . t'raf. flo from Portland to Lewlston and way points will mean a saving on an aver age of 13 a ton. In some cases it will be lt.50. in others It will be IS.60. What this means on a carload can be seen at a glance. It at once becomes a matter of. supreme importance, not merely to the wholesaler In Portland, or to the merchant in Rlparla or Law Is ton or Pasco, but to the consumer. The establishment of a regular Una of steamers on the upper river Spells lib ' eratlon for the farmer, the merchant and the other shippers of Idaho, Wash 's, ington and Oregon,, who have been tied down by what they regard as the un necessarily high, ratea charged by the railroads. . The Open River Navigation company, which owns the new steamer Inland Em pire, as well aa Us sister ship the Ce lllo Falls, which is now under construc tion at the Celllo boatyards, will have a water route all the way from Port land to Lewlston with the completion of the new boats. There is the short portage between Eddy and Celllo by way of the Oregon Portage railroad. Oth erwise the river is navigated by the company's steamers the entire-die tance. - l . - , . .

Inland' Empire will ba ready to go -on-tha- Celilo-Kennewlck-Pasco run by December 1. The Celllo Falls will be launched January I- and be ready a few weeks later.
