mittee of citlsens. Including Dan Kel
laher. W. H-j Fowler, Rev. John Daw-
aon, W. J. Hoffman, and C H. Cheney.

Following further Investigation and pub
lic hearings, tracts for parks will be
recommended f to the 1 council for pinr-
chase. ;; J
The block bounded by Williams and
Vancouver avenues and Morris and Stan
ton ; streets f was viewed as ; a , possible
location for a park In Albina. Twenty'
two acres within the loop at St. Johns
and the McKenna property are under
consideration as sites for that district.
Seventeen acres, now utilized for- play
grounds by, the city in the Woodlawn-
Alberta district may serve for that sec
tion. I i V;...-. . -: r -
The Irvington playgrounds will In all
probability be entirely taken over and
operated by; the city. .
They are now partly under direction
of tne city and a tempting offer has
been tendered the municipality for the
remainder. What is known as the
"brickyard site" may be converted Into
a park for the -Rose City section and
the Buckman tract at East Twelfth and
Davis may be the location of the Centra!
Blast Side playground. Three blocks in
Hawthorne park were Inspected, as well
as the Mount Scott park and a site
adjacent to Lents school.
In cases where present park sites
were viewed, it is understood the city
will enlarge upon and improve the park
faculties for the district if another tract
is not chosen.. !

50 Against Puget Sound Ports
ALL REDUCED TO
FIGURES
Grades, Curvature and All Aids
and Resistants of Traffic Con
sidered in Scientific Manner
"The cost of transportation be
tween Columbia basin points and Pu
get ...Sound ; ports exceeds . that be
tween the same points and -Portland
by amounts ranging from ' 10 per
cent for pokane and 30 pet cent for
the Palouse country to E0 per; cent
for I Walla Walla, declared J. P.
Newell, consulting engineer of the
Oregon Public Service commission,
In his testimony before the Interstate
Commerce commission. . - v
- Mr. Newell presented a graphic chart
showing how grades, distances, curves
and other elements add to the cost ot
the mountain routes in comparison with
the cost of moving , freight by way , of
the Columbia water grade.
DIFFERENCE TS POWER
"For example, said Mr- Newell, "the
power necessary to haul a ton from
Pendleton to PorUand would lift it 2944
feet, or amounts to 2944 foot tons, while
7406 foot tons are. needed to take that
ton to .Tacoma. ?
Conversely, the power-needed to haul
a ton from Portland to Pendleton would
lift that ton 4884 feet in the air, but the
power' needed to move a ton from Ta
coma to-Pendleton would lift it 7647
feet -in the air. " This shows that about
a third as much power is needed to haul
freight from Pendleton to Portland - as
from Pendleton to Tacoma, and that a
little more than half as much power Is
needed to haul freight from Portland to
Pendleton as from Tacoma to Pendle
ton, - - The difference : In favor of Port
land Is 5362 foot tons from east to, west
and 2763 - foot tons from west - to east
COSTS FATOB PORTLAND W
From Pendleton to Tacoma, the road
cost per ton of revenue paying freight
is figured by Mr. Newell as 9$ per cent
greater than from Pendleton to Port
land. - The figures are 94 cents a ton
between Pendleton and Tacoma and 48
cents a ton between Pendleton and Port
land. ' In the haul , eastward, the 'per
ton cost is $1.02 from Tacoma and 66
cents from Portland, a dlf f erence " In
Portland's favor of 55. per cent The
sum of road and indirect costs shows 63
cents a ton In favor of Portland from
east to west and 64 cents from west tq
The actual distance m miles is sis
from Pendleton to Portland and $02
from: Pendleton to Tacoma. 86 miles In
favor of Portland.' The actual distance
between Tacoma and Pendleton ; Is
equivalent. In the engineer's calcuatlons.
to 400 miles of straight level track, ana
the distance of 216 miles between, Port
land and Pendleton is equal to 205 miles
of straight level track. ' -
"EQTTITAIiEIf T MltEAGE"
The difference of "equivalent mlleage-
In favor of Portland is 195 miles, figured
from t east to west , The "equivalent
mileage" from west to east is 390 miles,
Tacoma to . Pendleton and 253 miles.
Portland to Pendleton, a difference in
Portland's favor of 137 equivalent miles.
Curves ard grades offer resistance to
train progress. Mr. Newell finds that
the ."resistance mileage" between Pendle
ton and Taooraa is 461 miles west and
483 miles east; while the resistance mile
age between Pendleton and Portland Is
186 miles west and 309 miles east; a
difference ; in Portland's favor of 275
miles In one instance . and, 174 miles In
the other." . . . ; "
"EQUATED MILEAGE COMPARISON
"Enuatad mlleaee is the number of
straight, level track miles which would
be covered by a train using the same
amount of engine service as is employed
over the particular route consiaerea.
The equated mileage between Pendleton
and Tacoma Is 680 west and 773 east
The ! equated mileage between Pendle
ton and Portland is 283 west and $74
east a difference in Portland's favor of
397 and 399 miles respectively.
Similarly Mr. Newell had compiler me
differences in favor of the water grade
between Portland and , Walla Walla,
Pullman, Garfield, Oakesdale and Spo
kane.
"No evidence is necessary, he said.
"to prove that it costs more to haul
freight over a range of mountains than
along . a .level road,, but the amount of
the excess Is not easy to determine. I
have -attempted to take certain of the
elements which go to make up the dif
ference in cost and assign to them a
monetary value.
TTWIT COSTS COMPILED .
My conclusion from the application
of the unit cost to the avaUable data
concerning the mountain haul roads is
that the cost of transportation between
Columbia river basin points and Paget
Sound ports exceeds that between - the
same points and Portland by amounts
ranging from, 10v per cent for Spokane
and $0 per cent for the Palouse country
to 50 per cent for Walla Walla and 75
per cent for Pendleton.
Tn seeking to arrive at umr costs x
have found that direct cost of freight
service depends on five principal fac
tors; . ! - ,; ''- l
"1 Terminal, or that wnicn is tnae-
pendent of the movement of traffic, a
; "2 Distance." or that dependent on
the resistance overcome, on account of
friction and gradients.
"4 Excess train service, or the cost of
the trains required for good service to
the public, in excess of those necessary
for the most economical transportation
of freight -!.-
"6 Unloading of cars.-
HAULS ASK COMPARED .
"As illustration f the application of
these equivalent factors, some of the
hauls under consideration may be com
pared, i '
"The line of the O-W. R. AJNV. along
the ' Columbia. - river from Portland to
Umatilla is one of moderate grades and

15 of the extra 23.6 miles and the
balance is due to grades such that the

tance alone is concerned, of 444 miles

factors, owing to the descent from Walla

making the resistance mileage 229 miles,

SHOWS ECONOMIES
Mr. .Newell offered a map showing
that north of the CM. & St P. rail
roads from Portland and Puget sound
reach ? the territory v. on . practically
equal terms, but that south the econ
omies in favor of the haul to Portland
range from 10 to 75 per cenfc
- The sum of : this estimates show the
cost of moving a ton of freight from
Walla Walla, for example, is 47.S cents a
revenue producing ton - as against 67.7
cents for the mountain haul to Tacoma.

said Dodson. "We object to an' ar
rangement that defies the laws of
economy In order to give a competitor
city artificial advantage over us."
The chief features of Dod son's start,
ling testimony were brought out under
questioning by W. C McCulloch of
counsel ton Portland business Interests.
but even more sharply under the cross
examination or C A. Hart, of counsel
for the railroads, and of S. J. Wettrlek.
of counsel for Seattle business interests.
tMPOBTAJfT AS CABGO .
"Do you mean to say . the Infiusncsa
of which you spoke are ImoroDer influ.
encesr ' questioned Mr. Hart
"No," answered Dodson. "Portland
would have been glad had such traffic
agreements been made between railway
and steamship lines here, for foreie-n
commerce has aided Seattle Immensely.
The railroads In their endeavor to
build up main line business have en
couraged the operation of -mills en the
sound that would convert the wheat of
the interior Into flour on a throurh

"The shipments from the interior are
not important to trans-Pacific cars-o. are

"Yes, indeed," answered Dodson.
"With 1,000,000 to 2,000.000 tons of wheat
and flour as base cargo, with canned
goods and other products, the products
of the Interior are important to Oriental
commerce." ;
BIFFEBEKTIAIi EXPECTED ' "
Hart introduced a series of questions
designed to show that by not inter
vening In : the Astoria rate case, when
Astoria was given a parity of rates from
tne ltuana ismpire with both Puget
Sound and Portland, local interests
were not injured and were not tryinf to
protect themselves for the future. -
Dodson s answer brought out a new
aspect of this situation. .
"When Astoria was given parity rates.
our business men expected automatically
a differential in favor of Portland,", he
said. "It had only been a short time
before the Astoria rate case when the
interstate commerce commission estab
lished the differential between Portland
and Astoria and we expected the re
establishment of that differential. It
was beyond belief that the same rate
would be - charged for a haul ef 200
miles to, Portland and 300 miles through
Portland to Astoria. -
'We have never been given 100 miles
for nothing," .
Hart referred to the changes In the
now much repeated question as to
whether the producers ot the Interior,
wuuiu . rsuiw nave iwo marKeig man
one. ' , '
BESTOWED BY 2TATUBB-
'Portland's advantage , is economic
and bestowed by nature," answered Dod
son. "The producer will get as many
markets for hla grain after lower rates
as before. .The producer wants lower
rates. He cannot be denied a market
by paying a fair rate to reach it" .
Hart asked If the C M. V St P.
which does not serve Portland but does
serve Puget Sound, should . be allowed
to meet a reduction if ordered to Fort-land.-
Dodson thought not
"Some one will have to pay the bill,"
e said. Chairman Hall asked : ' -"After
the completion of publio eleva
tor facilities In Portland, these facul
ties will be open to the use of operators
In Puget Bound , and San Francisco on
the same basis as to operators in Port
end who do not own their own facilii
ties?'-.. -i -
The - answer, of course, was in af
firmative and went a long way to show
that if recognition Is accorded the Co
lumbia water grade there will be no
monopoly on the use of it by business
meu anywhere.
MOT A yEW THEOBT
Hart asked If the railroads should
not be allowed to make a rate to Puget
Sound on wheat sufficient to load cars
that would otherwise be sent empty to
the Sound for eastbound freight .'
Not If the - purpose is to build us
another community at the expense of
one possessing natural right," answered
Dodson. -i-z-i-v?::-- w ...
Are you proposing a new theory of
ratemaklng. that cost of service should
govern" queried the attorney, for the
railroads. r
'I didn't know that - cost of service
was a new theory," retorted Dodson.
"Well. I notice," said Hart, "that one

ot the newspapers says the Issue is that
of justice against tradition..
Many of Dodson's answers .to Hart's
questions served so pointedly to rein
force direct testimony in behalf of . the
water grade that the railroad attorney
at last took refuge tn a sugfeatlon that
the answers be shortened because of his
fear that "the commission might be
wearied." , .
HALL STARTS MtRMUB
' "If my answers weary the commis
sion," retorted Dodson, "I must ask you
to remember that I am trying to an
swer your questions and that you share
responsibility, therefore, for the com
mission's weariness."'
" Ensued one of those unplanned out
bursts of amusement which, does much
to lighten the routine of a court hear
ing. -.',..
When Hart tried to stop Dodson's lu
cidity of exposition for varous propo
sitions in behalf - of the water grade.
Chairman Hall interposed mildly, "But
you must remember that you. yourself,
have been asking the witness to give the
reasons for many of his statements."
Wettrick, speaking for Puget Sound,
asked Dodson If he couldn't take
broad view of the i- situation, -one tn
which the development i of, the entire
northwest would be considered, and if,
from that view, disregarding personal
advantages, he wouldn't 'say it wss
proper for rates to northwest markets
to.be on a par. -i ,
EQUAL BATE - UWJU8T
Mr. Dodson answered that he could
share the view If the laws of economy
were not violated. Wettrick then wanted
to know If Portland would protest If
Seattle snouid be given a rate reduction
in the event that Portland was given a
reduction. Mr. Dodson held out' that
any remunerative rate over the moun
tains to Puget Sound would necessarily
call for a lower rate by way of the
water grade to ; Portlands .. ,.
"In these days following the war,"
said the witness, "the American pro
ducer, the American farmer and the
American . shipper . are directly con
cerned in - getung the lowest - possible
rates consistent with Just returns to
id earners. - y ..
J. B. Campbell asked ; if Spokane
snouia be allowed a rate based on
Water grade haul if Portland received
it and Xtodson answered "Yea"
G. C Fulton, of counsel for litsris.
Introduced into the record an article
written by George E. Hardy, who for
one year was secretary of the Chamber
or commerce. When Hardy had been
six weeks in Portland he issued a state
ment declaring that Portland should ac
cept the rate situation and fight for
ousiness on the basis or conditions as
they are. - Dodson - explained that the
board of directors of the Chamber of
commerce did not approve the utterance
at the time it was made.
TESTIMONY IS. OMITTED',
The testimony of several business men
of Portland was omitted to expedite the
hearing, and former Governor West .said
that the Inland Emprle Shippers league
would refrain from offering as a wit
ness Secretary Cranston of the Pendle
ton Commercial club, whose testimony
would support that previously offered
ry or. J. J. smitn and J. o. Brown In
behalf, of a lower rate for the grain
growers.. . . : i. i., ,
W. J. Kinney, Vancouver, Wash., busi
ness man, took the witness stand and In
response to questions by E. N, Liver-
more of counsel for Astoria, stated that
Vancouver believes Portland's conten
tions to be right and shares in them.
Kinney told how Vancouver has served
war ! needs In shipyards, spruce eutup
plants and In other Industries, and he
concluded: - -j t" ;.. '
In Vancouver we feel very strongly
that ws ought to have the benefit ot
our location fully reflected in our rates
of transportation to and from, the Co
lumbia river basin. Our people do a
substantial shipping business with the
Columbia river basin. In this business
we encounter competition with Puget
Sound and Astoria. ' ,
VITALLY rSTEBESTED
"This competition Is real, not fanci
ful. We are vitally Interested In this
case because we find our efforts to ex
pand our commerce are handicapped
and hampered by our transportation
rates to and from the Columbia river
basin, which are based, not upon the
operating conditions of the water grade
lines of railroad that serve us, but upon
those that apply on the. roads over the
Cascade mountains, which serve Puget
Sound. - ;- : - , .....
."As a community we are whojjjr dis
satisfied with such a rate adjustment.
We want rates for our ralK commerce
established on a just and ' reasonable
basis, reflecting the favorable operat
ing conditions on the Spokane. Portland
ic Seattle railroad and on the . Oregon
Washington Railroad V Navigation rail
road down the Columbia river.
"We think Puget Sound's rate ought
to be based on the operating -conditions
found on the roads that serve them.
WAST V FAI3 TOMPETITIOir V'
"We want no preference in rates over
Puget Sound or Astoria, but we do want
an opportunity to compete with them
on rates that fairly reflect the natural
advantages of our geographical location.
It is our, firm conviction that the rates
we now pay. deprive us of these ad
vantages, and that Is why we have In
tervened to secure what we think is
only simple justice to, our community,"
