........ . 4 , OPEN RIVER LINE IS PROFITABLE TO :;:FI Saving in Wool Shipments ; Alone Amount From $8 to , $15 a Ton; Table Shows Interesting Comparison. "That th Portland Jobber and man facttirrs have very reason to b thankful for their golden opportunities, east, nresant and future. Is again ex emplified In a comprehensive table of river and rail rates recently compiled toy the Open River Transportation com pany and being generously aisinDutea .V, ahtnnAM In tY1m rit- " MVS W. ' 8. Bmallwood, general manager of ' 1 the company. In an Interview. ' "Th activity of the Open River line "has been noticeable throughout x the year." he continued, "particularly in ' the large movement of wool from point long the Columbia and Snake river, which In former years has been shipped over the all-rail lines to Boston. A 1 million and a half pounds of wool has - been shipped since April rora. pnoduc- lng points adjacent to the Snake and Columbia rivers to Portland -via the steamers of the Open Hlver line and de livered to the American-Hawaiian line for Its final destination at Boston. , ' Big1 Savin Mad. The saving over the all-rail rates on Vthls wool ranged from $8 to $16 per ' ton. Keports received from the wool - iivjra nf Boston hv the management of the Open River line, It Is extremely - encouraging, assurances . being given that the wool business next year for the water carriers, will be greatly in creased, for It has been demonstrated :.. beyond a doubt that wool can be shipped via the river boats and water carriers from Portland and arrive at destination In a - good condition as via all-rail . routes. "In addition to the saving In freight charges , on wool, it is Interesting to note the saving: that Is realized by the - Jobber and manufacturers of Portland and the merchant In the Interior, on shipments to - point on the Columbia 1 and Snake river, such as Arlington, Umatilla, Pasoo, Kennewlck, Lewlston. ' and other river town not so familiarly known to the average shipper. ';': Sate Compared. . Th Open River line rates, for in stance, to Pasco and Kennewlck are 30 per cent lower than the rail rate from either Portland or Seattle, and on ship ment destined to Hanford, White . Bluffs and other town located along the upper Columbia river above Pasco and Kennewlck. the saving is greater still a against th rail rate from ' Portland and Seattle to Kennewlck ' or Pasoo, plus the transfer charge to the dock and . the local steamer rates be yond, t "Tables prepared show that people la the , upper Columbia river country are saving $6 per ton In freight on miscellaneous merchandise shipment, known in . railroad parlance as 'the first five classes of freight' Operations have ceased a the Snake river owing . to the low stage of water, but during ' the three months. April IS to July 26, ''that the Open River Una 'steamer was on the Snake river the merchants in 1 : that district were the recipients of a ' saving f ,$6.60 per ton on an average : over the rates which are paid to the railroads in that section, and which cney are w awmaur suuim . iu pay aunuf iu .iviuuuiu nine mvuvun v the year that the steamer cannot op , erate on adcount of the low water and obstructions remaining in the river. " '" "It Is stated authoritatively that the Improvements "now In progress on th 1 flnake river will enable steamer opera tions -within, a few years to be practl- cally continuous throughout the year, It can be safely stated that when this new era shall become a reality, the rail rates, which are now abnormally high will be forced to .come down In consequence of - the improved water competition and the water line can well - afford to reduce their rates consider ably below what they are at present . when a longer operating period la possl through the rapid settling up of the country. " "Tm Mtmmmtin AM MltArll fnnilltlnna of rates and traffic on th Columbia and Snake- river and the effect of mese rate upon un snipper inrouio : out this part of the country Mr. Small- wood, general manager of the open River Transportation company, states ' 'that it is not generally known, or at least the knowledge Is not used, if irnnwM Via OrtAn TMvr HnA'i nrptt- ent rates to various river junctions, such as Celllo, Arlington, Umatilla, ' Kennewlck and Pasco in combination with the local rail rates to va rious rail points, both paralleling the river and on main and branch lines In the Interior, produce a substantial saving over the all-rail . rates from Portland to these rail point, sable Otv raet. ';' "We have prepared a table of rate Wbloh Is being distributed among ship pers in this city, which shows a large .number of rail points tliat can be . reached by the river Junctions. As an Instance, shipments can be made to all points on the Deschutes rallwny, in central Oregon and a saving in freight ' charges realized by routing shipments Open River line to Celllo in care of the :j.-w. n. at . , For example, take the following 11- lustration: From Portland to Madras: - Classes. , 3 4 All-rail rate. 67 68 "Combination rates, Open River line to Celllo. plus local be- yond 61 63 Favor combination rate 0 5 "These two classes cover the principal commodities of the Jobbing houses and RBGHT SHIPPERS Afraid of Ghosts Iany people are afraid of ghost.

"I reiterate that this same condition la true of a number of points via Ar lington and Umatilla and particularly so via Umatilla, for there are over 40 towns that can be reached to advan tage over the all-rail rates from Port land, and I wish to state that they are being used through Umatilla to a greater extent, proportionately, than at any Junction we have on our line. Via Pasco and Kennewlck a very large num ber of towns are reached. Portland's Ideal Sltnatioa, "In some instances the differential is In favor of the rail lines, but amounts to only a cent or two. This cent or two can very easily be absorbed by the shippers, or part of It taken up by the shipper and the balance by . the Interior merchant. Our neighbors on the north, Tacoma and Seattle, are availing themselves of the Open River line by shipping California goods through Portland and . thence via boat to Pasco and Kennewlck and other in terior points, and on shipments from Seattle and Tacoma to upper Columbia river points, as Richland, Hanford and White Bluffs, etc., the differentia: la readily absorbed bv the Seattle and Ta coma Jobbers without a murmur, I doubt if there is any city in tht country similarly situated that has as many advantages as Portland from a transportation standpoint. In the east where competition is keen and distrib uting centers closer together, it Is not uncommon to absorb differentials in rates up to the actual losing point on certain commodities, in order that other commodities on which there Is a good prum can ue soiu ai tne same time to; tils- same dealer. Jobbers' Opportunity. "If our Jobbers and manufacturers In their efforts to expand will take the saving realised by the combination of river and rail rates to interior points, and patronize to the greatest possible extent, the river boats, this city will not only eclipse the towns In the Mis souri and Mississippi river valleys In distribution and trade expansion,, but they will be able through the saving realised to the majority of these In terior points, to absorb email differ ential at the few points which cannot be reached on an equality with the all rail rates at the present time. I think another illustration is pertinent to bring out exactly what I mean in this connection. Take - for instance. Pen dleton 231 miles east of Portland, and 44 miles from Umatilla, the river Junc tion with th Open River line. Under the recent opinion handed down by the Interstate Commerce commission In the Spokane case, this point would be en titled to the same rates as Spokane from all eastern shipping points. It is in th center of a very productive territory and la already a very heavy buyer of all classes or mercnandlae. Differential tniffHt. "The rates from Portland to Pendle ton via the O.-W. KAN, are slightly lower on the first five clasaes, than the combination of th river rate to Umatilla, plua local rates beyond, but th differential 1 very slight and while it is absorbed in many Instances, by Portland Jobbers and the business rout ed via the Open River line. It has been my oDservauon inai io auierence, ror . WBiance mm iu mo case oi me rum class to Pendleton, will be the bona of contention as to whether th boat line will get the business If they do not absorb this insignificant differential. There must be a place somewhere for the line to be drawn where tbe boat has a disadvantage in these combination rates. True, the boat line could reduce its rate a cent or two, but this would also mean a reduction at other places and the rates are already sufficiently low via the boat line as against the rail charges. In fact, outside of the Mississippi valley the Open River line asses the lowest river rate in the Uhlted States.- Th rates between Kan sas City and St Louis are only 20 per cent below the rail rates, whereas our rates are approximately 30 per cent be low the competing rail tines, and better than this on some commodities. Bats Cast Decision. "No opinion handed down by the In terstate Commerce commission, or by any state railroad commission, have Bhown so forcibly the power of water competition, as in the recent decisions In the Spokane, Salt Lake and Reno cases. In fact. Commissioner Lane in the Reno case states that the coast cities, and towns, having navigable rivers, are Tendered secure as entre ports of commerce by the presence of such natural conditions, so long as they choose jto avail themselves of these ad vantages. "It Is Impracticable for the commis sion to furnish every one with copies of i these opinions, but there are many cop ies scattered throughout this city, and it will prove a great benefit to every I merchant in Portland if he win nro- cur a copyof the opinions in the Reno and Spokane cases and carefully read the same, noting particularly the stress mm i put upon tne natural advantages which Inure to coast cities and towns enjoying water competition." TWO STOWAWAY8 DISCOVERED Steamer Washington Inadvertent! wrings i-a sengers fom Frisco. Their teeth chatteiig with the cold, two stowaways were pulled out of lifeboat osrthe upper deck of the steam er Washington on her first night out of San -Francisco. One of the boys gave his name as Chester Lindsay, IS years old and the other, a Oerman lad of 17, was nicknamed Heine as his real name could not be learned. Last - Wednesday nigut after the Washington was out to sea the mate heard a noise tn one of the lifeboats and lifting up the tarpaulin covering it he found the two stowaways. They were brought out of their hiding place and taken, down below where they were placed near the boilers to thaw out as they were so cold that they could not speak, both being poorly clad' and the night being exceptionally cold. When they were able to talk Captain 1 1 Winker questioned them and found that young. Lindsay was on , his way to Ta coma-where his parent live. His'mdth--cr had left him at Riverside, Cal.. with an unci and gone "to' TacomS IS' join 1 his father, but he did not like It there so he had beat his way to S-jp"ran cIsco on a freight train, the brakeman. giving him SO cents to eat on when he- arrived there.

The steward went out wicn nun -this morning and bought them. -Captain Winkel said that Hetne expected to re main in Portland. The Washington brought 800 cons .of cement and 300 tons of general cargo beside her passengers. , REPAIRING HERCULES. Iron Foremast Being Replae Baypceon's New Crankshaft. Repairs to the Norwegian' steamer Hercules of the Waterhouse fleet, which had her iron foremast broken off to within about 10 feet of the deck Satur day morning, at the . St. Johns mill, are being made by the Vulcan Iron Works and a new mast Is being constructed at -the plant on the Alaska dock. When the mast and rigging.were carried away by the weight of the unusually heavy timbers eing lifted hatch combings, winches, ventilators and the bridae were broken by the fall. It is expected that It will be necessary to work night and day for a week to .complete repair on the steamer. The timber being stowed are three feet by three feet by about 40 feet long and are destined for Dalny. The Herculea will not be able to com plete her cargo until the repair are made. ; Repairs are also being made by the vuican iron worns 10 tne gas pas scnger yacht Bayocean.
