The effects of the delays of
service to Dallas is the receipt
of the morning mail and the
Oregonian one-half hour later
and a consequent later delivery
to patrons on the rural routes.
At Monmouth they will now not
| get their Oregonians until the
11:15 train gets there from here,
and the cutting out of the motor
makes it inconvenient for resi
dents of the educational center
in making desirol visits to the
county seat, as they must now
come over at 2:30 in the after
noon and have but little time to
transact business before return
ing or the closing of the busi
ness houses. Our morning train

supposed to arrive in Portland
at the same time as before,
making up the half hour. This

Wool Growers National Associ
ation Laud C ham berlain’s
Stand for Free Tolls.
Davis & Horn
Salt Lake City, Feb. 20, 1914.
Sen. Geo. E. Chamberlain,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:— Will you kindly
send me a copy of your speech
in favor of free canal tolls for
coastwise vessels? It is the
hope of all western wool grow
ers that you will stand by the
position you have taken. Unless
our coastwise vessels are to have
free tolls and railroad owned
ships are to be excluded from the
canal, the canal will prove a
serious injury rather than a
benefit to this western country.
As an illustration, wool is now
hauled from Australia to San
Francisco for 75 cents per hun
dred: From Frisco by rail to
Boston at 80 cents per hundred,
making the through rate $1.55.
When the canal is completed
the through rate to Boston will
be about $1.00 per hundred.
You may answer that domestic
wool will also move through the
canal at a lower rate. This Is
not probable, for the railroads
maintain such a high rate from
intermountain points to the
coast that we will not have ac
cess to it. As an illustration,
the roads are hauling Austral
ian wool from Frisco to Boston
at 8o cents per hundred. From
Nevada points, 500 miles nearer
Boston, they charge $2.00 per
hundred. On domestic wool
from Arizona points, 600 miles
nearer Boston, they charge
$1.90 per hundred on domestic
wool. From Boise, Idaho, 600
miles nearer
Boston,
they
charge 2.05% per hundred on
domestic wool to Boston. Boise
to Portland, $1.25.
Very respectfully yours,
S. W. McCLURE,
Secretary.
