Smith, commissioner of corporation of
,tho bureau, of commerce and labor, In
the second installment of his "Report on
Transportation by Water In the United
States," made publio today, presents an
analysis of the freight carrying situa
tion and suggests method to be ein-
, ployed 4n apportioning to the rivers and
canals of the country their natural and
just share of traffic Mr. Smith finds
that the deplorable state of river traffic
in due to pnysicaj aiincuities met in
' -waterways themselves, especially to
' sedimentary deDOslts and fluctuations
, of level at terminals, and to a system of
practical boycott placed by the railway
of the country upon water-borne freight.

July Sir: I have the honor, to sub
mit herewith part two of tho report on
.transportation by water in the United

"There are two main classes of freight
(1) bulk freight, usually raw ma
terials and of comparatively Tlow value;
1 merchandise freight, so i called,
usually in packages, of higher value and
mainly the product of factories. Of
ficial statistics water trafflo are Very
Incomplete.- . '
"Over - 75 per cent bu"r .'iotar 'water
born domestic traffic- (excluding harbor
and raft traffic) consists -of raw ma
terials and low grade products, such as
coal, iron ore, stone, sand, lime, phos
phate, oil, cement, brick. Ice, pig iron
' and steel rails, lumber and naval stores,
agricultural products; all bulk freight -"Bulk
freight 5 is better ntted for
. water transportation because . neither
swiftness nor especial care is usually
required and Its points of delivery are
- usually more concentratea, . conversely,
water carriers often thus fail to get
S their corresponding share of back load
raw materials brought by -them to the
factories. ' . ' .:-:,,
,"A. comparison of different transpor
tation methods is enlightening. . We
' have, roughly, three great transporta
tion systems (1) rail; (J) deep water

and canals.i'-: -.,:

Atlantic and Gulf Coasta Here the
through freight Is very largely duik:
chleflv coal. , lumber, ohosnhate. naval
stores, cotton, refmed oil, sugar, rice and
fruit. The greater volume moves nortn-
.ward. Little coal roes South by 'Water.
, There is also an Important movement of
general merchandise. There is some use
of gulf rivers as feeders, bringing; bulk
freight to central ports. . ,
'Pacific Coast On the Pacific coast
the principal bulk freight ; consists of
lumber moving south and -oil north;
there Is also considerable merchandise

"The Great Lakes. More than 80 per
cent or this traae is duik. wttn very
advanced terminal development and
very low transnortatlon- costs. This Is
due to an extraordinary combination of
concentrated supplies 501 raw material at
' each end and- a corresponding -demand
at the opposite end. Eighty per cent
of the shipments and receipts of ore.
coal, and grain are handled at a dosen
porta Three fourths of the total, lake
movement is .eastward and southward-
Iros ore (48.000.000 net tons shipped In
1807), grain and flour (5,800,000 tons),
and lumber (3,700,000 tons). The to
tal westward and northward traffic in
1808 was 1 8,1500,000 tona of -which al
most 17,000,000 tons was coal, -almost
the only Item of back load for the ore
freightera Not over 5 per cent" ofThe
traffic of the lakes moves out of them
by water into United States territory.
Domestic shipments of lumber and
grain are declining (although the Ca-
, nadlan grain trafflo is increasing).. Gen
eral , merchandise 'freight " is . about 10
per cent of the lake traffic
'.....' Wt8rt Canal,-'Sf-&'
This Is the third- branch of " our
transportation system. Its traffic,7 In
' general. Is declining, especially on the
Mississippi river system and inland ca
nala " Up to1888 traffic on the New
York canals, ' including the - Erie, - was
more than twice that of . the. railroads
crossing New York state; In 1878 lt
was one third, ''and-now -It .Is less -than
8' per oent , The . total f trafflo - of all
stat and private canals has ' declined
from 16,000,000 tons in 1880 to about
R.eoo.ooo tons in 1108. ... ,
- "The Mississippi river " system pre
sents, our greatest waterway ' problem.
Its trafflo has greatly declined since
the building of parallel railroads.- . Ex
cluding harbor and raft traffic, ft was
about 19,000,000 tons in 1806, mainly
toal, lumber, railroad ties, sand,- gravel,
oil, cotton, sugar, rice, and farm prod
ucts. 'But the --cotton trafflo Is sur
prisingly small, considering the near
ness of cotton plantations and cotton
markets. - The only prosperous exception
of importance ia the coal traffic down
stream. This constitutes about 86 per
cent of the entire vessel- traffl on the
Mississippi system. It Is a highly-developed
long dlstancs bulk traffic, with
the coal produced In enormous quanti
ties directly on the .river bank, near
the Pittsburg district. It Is, however,
practically confined to markets imme-
to barge moved by towboats. ' There
has bten a slight increase in trafflo
on the Tennessee river; and in the last
six years between Memphis and Vlcks
burg. ' - . ,
"The regular floating equipment of
the, Mississippi .prpper is not adapted
for deep sea use. Thus. 'of the great
quantities of coal which travel 2000
iqlles by river to New Orleans, none Is
sent beyond on river craft to points on
the gulf, however .near New Orleans.
There Is a marked deterioration in ter
minals. The frequent extreme changes
in water level make the terminal ques
tion a difficult one. -
"The upper Mississippi, so 1 called,
from St Paul to Su Louis, has about
H feet depth at low water, and there
is1 little through, traffic principally In
logs. ,, Even ' more Is this true of the
upper tributaries,' Including the ..Missouri,-'..
' -. -. - -'-n v ,.. ':-
v .,. t Oonolnsions. .
- "The situation in the Mississippi val
ley is significant ana serious. There
is a vast and growing amount of freight
in that valley to be moved both north
and south ; there has ooen, and doubt
less will be again, extreme traffic con
gestion there. Even daring the sever
est congestion the Mississippi river got
a very small and a decreasing share of
the traffic. - This condition Is highly
unsatisfactory.
"There are - two - basic ' causes : First
the physical conditions, variations In
water level and the enormous deposit
of sediment; second, the destructive
competition by the parallel railroads,
in general, refusing to shart the traffic
with-the river. Part iVvOf this re
port, now Jn course of preparation, will
deal with this further.' It Is sufficient
to say now that rail competition Is a
most important factor in water traffic
and that some cooperation between rail
ways and: waterways seems absolutely
necessary to insure a reasonable use of
our rivers. . It Is a public evil that our
entire transportation system should be,
strength in destructive internal warfare
while the transportattun needs of the
public suffer.' -"""'."
'Part I. already ' Issued, considered
the physical - conditions, of the water
ways. Equally Important , are trafflo
conditionswhat - - trafflo la . available,
and how can it be securedt -
"Trafflo Js an absolute essential for
the development of the waterways sys
tem. One of the most practical meth
ods of lmurovlnsr waterway, and esoe-
daily terminals, Is to secure for them
a fair amount of business,-thus Insur
ing their hlRher development- by private
Interests. This Is shown by the ore
and coal business on the lakea At pres
ent our river and canal system, ham
pered by Its natural defects. In unre
stricted competition with the unified,
standardised raiL system. Is heirless to
secure1 for itself a reasonable share of
to provide transportation lacuiues
worthy of its rreat Dosslbllltles. 'What
ever may be the limitations of the wa
terways system. It Is clear that certain
easily made Improvements In channels,
port terminals, and especially In the
regulation of the relations of railroad
and waterways, can secure for the wa
terways a far s greater proportion ' of
business and 1lead to a great Improve
ment. In their condition. Very respect

"THREE WEEKS" BRINGS NOTHING.
TO PORTLAND WORTH THE WHILE
.-' - By R. A. W. h
. "Three' Week" Is at the' Bungalow
for one' week.- For some time the press
agent have been 'telling us that' there
was to be something-doing; at th old
swimming pool when Miss Beryl Hope
and her- troupe of emotion dispensers
reached the town.-. 'Accordingly all of
the men have been telling their wives
that Important business would, detain
them down town during some night of

ladles have planned evening bridge par
ties to which no mere man will be ad
mitted. But don't do It, Instead get
a sice spicy number of the Ladles Home
Companion and read what Edward Bock
ha to say about modern life. That
will beat It to a f ramie.
- Once upon a' time -Mra Elinor Olyn
wrote a book which was . supposed to
be a sort of biography - covering- a
period of three weeks of the life of a
young Englishman and an unhappy
Sueen with a drunken husband and no
elr. The story was supposed also to
teach - a great lesson. One lesson It
taught, waa that th more you roast

of that book. . In order that some ex
cuse should be given for the production
a prologue ha been tacked on In front
In that nrolorue the drunkon klnr'of
Sardalia enter the apartment of thy
queen, after riding down a young,
roomer ana ner child, and abuses - the
queen, incidentally he drinks a great
number of. drinks out of a handy de
canter In such rapid succession that
the men of the audience wondered If
he was looking for an emetic After
he had put himself down and out the
curtain felt . Then the play proper, or
improper, began. . .
' The youn Englishman has been taken
off to a quiet retreat by mamma to
forget a designing daughter of a mere
parson In the opening soene he stands
In - the right foreground' and digs his
toe into the carpet in a pout declaring
that he will never forget the parson's
daughter. His father and ; a . friend
stand behind the mamma's back and ex
press their opinion that a young man
must have his fling, - :rt. ; ?
' Then night falls and the young Eng
lishman tries to write ' to ' the parson
daughter but the wheels' stick. - Just
at this . opportune time the . queen ap
pears on an upper balcony and tells
him she has a word to aay to him. The
young Englishman- stumbles, up the lad

the golden wina: The third act por

drunken king and his strangulation by
the faithful servant - Then th whole
thing closes with the beautiful, picture
of th Uligitlmate child crowned a king.
That 1 about all there la to it It
I not naughty enough to be interest
ing, and It ia not interesting enough to
be naughty. It simply has a morally
rotten sentiment as a plot thought and
the fetid aroma of the book's name as
a drawing card. Under, some other
name it would have died of ennui long
ago, had It not been still born. Miss
Hope, is a good actress but she has a
very poor vehicle upon Which to ride.

any person, either white or Indian,-who
owns horses running on the reservation,
may have them gathered at a very small
