WATER GRADE AND
BE THRESHED OUT
Exciting Debate Before Exceed
ingly Select Audience Will Be
. Held in Portland July 21.
I. C. C TO HOLD HEARING
Inland Empire and Portland to
Argue for Affirmative; Nega
tive Supported by Puget Sound
The Oregon, public (service commis
sion has joined the fight for recogni
tion of the Columbia water grade.
The commission announced on Satur
day that it had filed a separate peti
tion before the Interstate commerce
commission asking for a preferential
favoring the Columbia river route
over" the mountain routes between
Puget Hound and the Inland Kmpire.
The action brought by the commls
ion will be heard simultaneously with
similar actions of the Inland Kmpire
Shippers league and the port and bus
iness bodies of Portland before the
Interstate commerce commission In
Portland on July 21. The public serv
ice commission will be represented by
the attorney general for Oregon.
T
By Marshall N. Dana
A very exciting debate before an ex
ceedingly select audience is to be con
ducted in Portland at the Multnomah
county ' court house, beginning at 10
o'clock on the morning of July 21.
The subject is:
"Resolved : That the cost of railroad
transportation Is less by way of water
grade thap over mountains, and that,
therefore, the rate shdtild be less be
tween the Inland Kmpire and ports of
the Columbia vja the Columbia river
than between the Inland Empire and
Puget sound over the mountains."
Thp judge of this unique debate will
be the Interstate Commerce commis
sion ; one, If not three, of the commis
sion will attend in person, coming all
the way from Washington, D. C, - so
vital is the issue.
The lineup of the debaters will be in
about the following order:
"WHO WIM, KJiTER LISTS
For the affirmative The Inland Km

Shippers league ; the city of Portland,

sented and that the leading railroad
corporation lawyers of the. country will
at least be sitting in the audience.
Sometimes the Columbia river rate
case is spoken of as merely a contest
to haul grain from the Interior down the
Columbia to the lower river ports
cheaper than over the mountains so
that the Inland Empire growers can
obtain the encouragement of a lower
rate and the river ports handle the
bulk of the grain movement.
That is a large sized slice of the
purpose, but it's far from being all.
Kvery rate on every commodity moved

whole scheme of rate making for the
nation is mixed up in the contest. Right

apply to competitive ocean terminals no
matter whether the freight goes ex
pensively over the mountains or cheaply
along the water grade. By charging
them all the same, and placing t,he
tariff high enough to compensate for
the mountain haul the railroad rats
makers have apparently decided the
water grade roads wouldn't complain
because of extra profit and the shippers
could hold the sack. All of which may
account for the fact that the O.-W.
R. & N., when under Its own manage
ment and its earnings not being ab
sorbed by the Union Pacific system as
a whole, has been a surprisingly good
money maker.
AKOU3IET IS SOPHISTICAL
The interstate commerce' commission
has announced that a community should
enjoy the benefits of advantages in
natural location. To a considerable ex
tent, because this dictum has not been
enforced, Puget sound has been enabled
to build up thriving cities with far
reaching business connections, since it
could add to the natural advantage of
a splendid harbor the unnatural ad
vantage of rail rates to points beyond
its encircling mountain barrier that per
mitted it to compete equally with ports
of the Columbia. Puget sound's defense
advantage has led to large investment
in port and business facilities which
would be harmed were belated justice
to be abcorded the communities of the
Columbia, Such an argument is valid
from the viewpoint of Puget sound, but
it does not change the fact that the
principal and- interest of nature's gifts
have long been overdue to the Inland
Kmpire and the ports of the Columbia.
When a fraction of a cent difference

ment, the Columbia basin, whether the

plateaus who endured In the hope of
development with the proverbial Inch
of board between them and the weather
or the Columbia river ports that are
striving to make use of natural ad
vantages to obtain a fair share inJthe
world's commerce.
DEEP BISCtTSSIOX EXPECTED
While former Governor Oswald West,
who represents the Inland Empire
Shippers' league; Joseph N. Teal and
William C. McCulloch for the business
bodies and W. P. La Roche and Krskine
Wood for the port bodies, have not
revealed the arguments upon which
they will chiefly depend before - the
interstate commerce commission, it is
expected that there will be deep dis
cussion of transportation costs and that
: this will go with equal depth Into the
history of the railroads involved.
The O.-W. R. & N., for instance, is
the modernization of the Oregon Rail
way & Navigation company organized
by Henry Villard and his associates
In 1879. In the spring of 1880 the
construction of the -main 'line began
between Umatilla and Portland, and In
1882 trains were operated to Pendleton
and Walla Walla, and in 1885 to Hunt
ington. The line directly connecting
Pendleton and Walla Walla was built
In 1883, and Snake river points were
reached in the dates between 1885 and
1899.. The Shaniko branch was built
between 1897 and 1900, the Condon
branch in 1905 and ihe Pilot, Rock
branch in 1907.
The Northern Pacific reached the
sound in 1887. the Great Northern in
1893, and the S., P. & S., jointly owned
by the two, began operating trains be
tween Portland and Pasco in November
of 1908. The S., I & S. is the one
railroad which operates ' without a
feeder, save the Goldendale branch,
which it did not build but acquired.
PtTSH GOOD THIXG ALONG
The Northern lines got Into the In
land Kmpire territory almost as soon,
and In some cases sooner than the
O.-W. R. & N. There is frequently a
discussion as to whether the mountain
rates or the ; water grade rates came
first. However that may be. the moun
tain rates were made compensatory to
the Northern lines, and the water grade
routes were placed on a parity.. In
some instances the" O.-W. R. & N. has
made traffic arrangements to ship
freight over the tracks of the Northern
Pacific to Puget sound, securing no
additional revenue for the 140 or 180
miles additional haul, and splitting its
receipts with. the Northern line there.

Secretary of War Baker attributes to

625,434 per month. The maximum was
reached in July, when 1,147,013 were
moved."
: Four outstanding points are empha
sized in the report, as follows:
; "In arge and small units. 1,785,343
drafted men were picked up at 4600
separate points and moved on scheduled
time to their training camps, in many
bases over a day's journey away, and in
all cases were fed In transit. The
amount of detail involved in routing,
feeding, scheduling and moving these
men can hardly be overestimated,
i "In 9109 special trains. 4,053,978 men
were moved an average distance of 855
miles, unquestionably the largest long
distance troop movement in history.
"For embarkation overseas, 1,904,014
smen were brought Into crowded port
terminals without interference with
heavy traffic of other kinds already
being hauled through these ports and in
the adjacent territory. During one
period of 30 days, more than 20 troop
trains each day, were brought into the
tort of New York.
! "During .this period there were but
34 train accidents involving either
death or injury of enlisted, men."

mitted by railroad traffic men that it
3s cheaper to route freight originating
lin Eastern Oregon and Washington via
Vancouver and Chehalis (which entails
(the same longer haul of 140 to 180 miles)
than it is to lift this freight Over the

by Dr. Harlow; Ten Years Later
Asa Whitney Took Up Subject.
PORTAGE' AT CASCADES FIRST
Construction of Northern Pacific
Begun in '70 Between Kalama
and Tacoma, Completed in '73.
. Interesting facts about the early his
tory of the railroads involved in 'Colum
bia river rate case are contained In
a report published In 1906 by the Wash
ington railroad commission. It tells
about the proposal made away back in
1834 by Dr. Samuel B. Harlow of
Massachusetts for the construction of
a government railroad 1 between New
York and the mouth of the Columbia.
'"The -length was estimated at 3000
miles," the report continues, fthe cost
810,000 per mjle, a total of f30.000.000.
At an averSge speed of 10-miles an
hour, it was estimated that a passenger
could take the trip from New York
to the Pacific ocean and return In 30
days. He said: 'What a glorious un
dertaking for the United States! The
greatest public work, I mean the great
est In its ends and utilities, that mortal
man has ever yet accomplished."
"Ten years later Asa Wnitney of New
York took up the subject and advocated
the building of a railway from Lake
Michigan to Puget sound. He advocated
a grant of land by corfgress of 30 miles
on each side of the track, the proceeds
to be used to build the road. This was
the first definite attempt to secure the
building of such a railroad:
EXPLOBATI05 IS MADE
"About 10 years later Edwin F. John
son, an eminent civil engineer of Ver
mont, took up the project and succeeded
In securing the appointment of two of
ficers of the army to make an explora
tion for a railroad to Puget sound.
These two officers were Isaac 1.
Stevens, afterwards first governor of
Washington territory, and George B.
McClellan, afterwards commander of
the Army of the Potomac. A careful
exploration of the entire route waa
made by them, and itwas found to be
entirely practicable and feasible. The
route afterwards adopted closely fol
lowed the line of their exploration.
Great credit is due Governor Isaac. I.
Stevens for his labors In this work.
"After an additional period of about
10 years, the Northern Pacific Rail
road company was incorporated by ar.
act of congress and given a grant of
land to aid in the construction of a
railroad, from Lake Superior to Puget
Bound. This act was approved by
President Lincoln July 2, 1864.
PORTAGE ROAD FIRST
"However, the first actual construe-'
tion within the state of Washington
was done by another company, a por
tage railroad on the north bank of the
Columbia around the Cascades. This
company was incorporated by an act
of the legislative assembly of Wash
ington territory, January 31, 1859, to
be known as the Cascades Railroad
company. It provided that a good rail
road of wood should be constructed
within three years, and iron tracks
within five years. The road waf sur
veyed in 1861, and built -the following
year. The road- was afterwards ac
quired by the Oregon Steam Navigation
company. The Oregon Railroad &. Navi
gation company. In 1879, succeeded to
the ownership of the road, which was
never extended beyond the portage for
which ft was constructed. It is a nar
row gauge and has been put to but
little use in late years.
"It was not until 1870 that actual
construction of the Northern Pacific
was begun. This was a 25 mile section
from Kalama on the Columbia river
toward Puget sound. This was extended
and completed to Tacoma in 1873.
DEPRESSION TAKES PLACE
"Then followed a period of financial
depression, and no further construction
was done ujitil 1879, when work wa
started at the junction cf Snake river
and the Columbia, now Pasco. The lino
was built to Wallula and eastward to
a transcontinental connection, which
was made in 1887. The Northern Pacific
railroad has, by purchase or otherwise,
acquired ownership or control of sev
eral local companies, among them the
following : The Puget Sound Shore
railroad, in 1890, which extended the
Northern Pacific to Seattle. The Se
attle, Lake Shore & Eastern, in 1892.
This company was incorporated In 1883.
and afterwards with a branch to Sumae,
besides Acquiring a block of waterfront

road, western capitalists. Interested In
the Northern Pacific, purchased from j
the New York stockholders a control j

the ownership of the Northern Pacific, j
OTHER ROADS ARE BUILT
"The Spokane and Palouse operated
from Spokane southerly, crossing the
state line into Idaho, near Uniontown.
The construction of this line was begun
in 1S8C, and completed the following
year. Later extended from Pullman to
Moscow. The Washington Central
operated from Spokane to Coulee City.
Construction was begun In 1888, and
completed In 1891. It was extended to
connect with the Great Northern in
1903. The Bellingham Bay & Eastern,
from 'Bellingham to Wicker sham, was
incorporated in 1891. constructed in 1901,
and sold to the Northern Pacific in 1902.
"The Seattle & San Francisco rail
road, including Seattle 'terminals, and
the Everett & Monte Crlsto railroad,
from Everett to Snohomish and from
Hartford to Monte Crlsto. were absorbed
by the Northern Pacific. The Wash
ington & Columbia River railroad,
criginally organized as the Oregon &
Washington Territory, railroad, in 1887,
and locally known as the Hunt road.
Its first construction was in 1887, the
road being completed to Hunt's 'Junc
tion, near Wallula, in 1888, with a line
to Walla Walla and Eureka Flat. The
following year the line was extended
from Walla Walla to Dayton. The

SURPRISED BY
THE BIG CHffi
After 15 Years1 Trouble ; He Is
. Restored to Health by Tanlac
Gains 15 Pounds.
It didn't take me long to find out
that -Tanlac was just the thing I'd been
looking for. because It certainly ' helped
me right from the start." said James
Portland, the other day.
"I had suffered more -or less from Indi
gestion and stomach trouble i for the
past fifteen years," continued Mr. Bald
Win, "and last October I took ihe 'flu'
and this, on top of my other trouble,
like to have put me out for good. I
didn't have any appetite and what little
I did eat would sour and the gas at
times would not only bloat me up so
that I'd have awful griping ' pains In
my stomach, but would also press around
my heart, cause It to palpitate and I'd
suffer from shortness of breath. Then,
too, I suffered a lot from terrible head
aches and dizzy spells, had . no energy
and felt weak and tired all the time. 1
fell off in weight and was awfully run
down and was taking some sort of med
icine most all the time, but I nothing
helped pie and I had just about given
up hope of getting relief.
"Then I read about Tanlac and a
friend of 'mine advised me to tuke It
and told me' about a number of people
that had arotten auch arood ' rtdults from
Tanlao that I decided to try it, 'and be
fore I had finished the first bottle my
appetite improved and I was surprised
to find that after eating I wouldn't be
troubled with sour stomach or gas. I've
now taken five bottles of Tanlac and am
feeling a hundred per cent better than
I have for years. I'm never troubled
any more with headaches or dizzy spelln,
have ,a fine appetite, can eat anything
I want and not feel any bad effects
and have gained fifteen pounds In
weight Why, I even drink coffee now
and it was one of the many things I
didn't dare touch before.
"I have told lots of my friends about
Tanlac and what it has done for me and
will gladly tell others."
Tanlac is sold In Portland by the Owl
