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. "

as the boat , line' absorbs the cartage
from the , landing to the rail depot at
these river Junctions, this saving I have
I have purposely taken as an example
maicaiea is actual ana. not meoreucai.
the farthest point on the Deschutes
railroad and an examination of the ta
ble of rates will show a saving Is pos
sible" to all Intermediate points on this
road.
"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."

We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Oastoria would save a ma
jority of these frecioua lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of 'narcotio preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for Children's complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but yon must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens tho
pores of the skin and allays fever.

INFORMATION ABOUT
CHECKING OF BAGGAGE
"The 8. P. A S. Astoria line check
baggage to any point to which ticket
are Bold and delivers it there, provid
ing the check is surrendered to the
conductor before the station is reached
so that the baggage man has time to get
it out," said one of the Astoria road of
ficials today.
Many seem to be of the opinion that
baggage is checked only to certain sta
tions and as a result cause themselves
no little unnecessary annoyance.
"There appears to be misunder
standing,'' said the official, "for I have
found that people will check baggage
beyond their destination thinking that
It had to go to a certain station before
It could be removed from the baggage
car. All thl adltlonal trouble can be
avoided If the passenger hands the
check to the conductor a while before
reaching hi destination. If this Is done

Is delivered where th passenger dis
