SKPT. FARLEI'B REPORT.
He Make Few Suggestion and Asks
' . to Be Relieved from Service.
Cahcade Locks, Or.. Sept. 26. 1891. '
To the Honorable Sylvester Pennoyer,
George W. McBride and Phil. Metehan,
constituting the Board of Portage Com
missioners of the Slate of Oregon:
Getj.smen As my work of construc
tion of the Cascade Portage railroad is
about completed, I wish to make a par
tial report and also to be allowed to offer
a few suggestions. t , t ; ...
The road is about completed except
the extreme ends of the east and west
inclines. This cannot be done economi
cally at present on account . of , the - high
water, and can be done in the spring on
both ends for not te exceed $300. The
road, however, can be operated right
along just as well until spring and then
the inclines must lie completed before
Jiigh water in June. . This can be done
at odd times by your operating service,
at hardly any additional expense. Your
operating service can also keep up the
entire repairs of the road, ; ; ,
I have this day placed . insurance on
the property, as follows, in the London,
Liverpool and Globe Insurance company,
of San Francisco, which is the only good
standing company I find doing railroad
insurance business :

As soon as the policy is issued to the
state of Oregon it will be forwarded to
the secretary's office.-
We have a very good gravity system of
water supply for all purposes of the road,
including fire, but I still think it wiee to
carry at least from twenty to twenty-five
thousand dollars insurance.
. I have done all my work the best ' I
could and tbink it will bear all criticism,
admitting that possibly I have made a
few small mistakes. I have purchased
the material as low as the market would
allow, and I think that no fanlt can
justly .be found with the price paid.
Tnere have been some faults found and
attacks made against me by parties I
have been unable to find, which the ma
jority of the board I think fully under
stand, and I will leave myself in the
hands of the board as to whether I have
or have not done my duty honestly,
economically and as speedily as possible.
. I now wish to make a few suggestions
as to the system of operating the port
age in a careful manner, and with ex
tremely low expense, and still be a care
ful and systematic way of doing that
which I feel the boord wishes to do ; that
is to please the people and 6till have the
I state Buffer no loss. ...
xne estimates l nave prepared are
based on only one boat above and one
below.. feeding the portage, and if one
more boat above and below should be
put on, increase the expense only one
man at $75 per month. ' The conductor
of the portage to have charge in the ab
sence of the superintendent. .

Making a total expense of not to ex
ceed $1000 per month, the year arouad,
and possibly not over $900 per month.
I wish to say that I cannot possibly
stay longer than . November 1st, at the
outside, and would like to be excused
earlier if possible, on account of my
business, but will volunteer to go down
occasionally until the .river freezes up
and assist in getting everything going
systematically, and will not make. any
charge for the same after November 1st,
aa I Jhink I ca.n get transportation free.
I also think that probably after this
year you can gst along without any con
ductor, by having superintendent take
charge of train, and do all the clerical
work. The transportation companies
are required to furnish a press copy of
all way-bills and furnish a cupon check
for all passencers. ; Now all the work
there is to do is for the superintendent
to copy those way-bills and coupon
tickets, for his own uee, and then turn
them over to the secretary of state, with
the money earned, collected from trans
portation companies, keep time of the
men who .are all hired by the monhand
send in the pay roll to the secretary of
state, for the monthly pay account.
There is no possible use for a clerk, and
after a time throw the offices of superin
tendent and conductor into one office. I
also think it best for the superintendent
to give a small bond to the state, for the
transportation companies ' turn the
money over to him twice a month and
the .superintendent then turns it over to
the secretary of state. This will relieve
the board from all responsibility.
. Speaking of the earnings of the port
age, at the present tariff I think it will
be safe to say they will at least amount
to $1800 per month the year pround.
This, however, is a hard matter to calcu
late on and I base my estimate on the
amount of freight which passes to and
from The Dalles. However, your tariff
la subject to change at any time without
notice,, and it will be., the duty of . your
superintendent .to carefully watch this
matter and . change' this tariff just as
soon as he finds it necessary, , The board
is aware that I lost my residence in . the
late fire at The Dalless, therefor it is es
sential that I be relieved from, your ser
vice as soon as possible to attend , to mf
own affairs, but please bear in mind that
I will not neglect my duty to the board
until I am relieued by my successor. I
will do everything in my power, at all
times to assist, the board or its officers
of the portage in any way I can.
I also think it absolutely necessary to
have the duplicate of all bills, left with
the superintendent for reference, also
the f eight bills, as there are: some over
charges of freight and.it can be collected
by the rebate process of railroads, but in
order to do this must have the freight
bills.;, : ?, j 4tv,,-j
1 have put on an operating crew and
had a hard time to look np good men
and I do hope, as long aa these men do
their duty faithfully, the state will em
ploy them, as I had to make, in some in
stances, promises of. steady work. The
conductor I have employed is. E. M.
Stevens, and is a thorough, competent
railroad man j and the engineer is, Wil
liam Laycock, and he is also perfectly
reliable. ; Both are men of property and
responsible, for their acts.
My commission reads "To construct,
equip and operate the Portage railway,"
therefore I trust I have not overstepped
my office by employing a good, compe
tent operating service for the portage,
. In conclusion permit me to say I have
no hesitancy in stating that the state of
Oregon has a good substantial portage
and fully equipped to do all the service
that may be brought to it and I feel sure
that the relief asked for by the people of
Eastern Oregon is accomplished. Again
I thank you, gentlemen, for my appoint
ment, and for the kindness that you
have extended to me as your servant and
trust my services have been satisfactory
to you and to the state of Oregon. I am
Your obediant servant,
