Governor ( limn berlaiii Says
I roiiiht Rates Will He Loutr.
That the State Portage Railroad at Ce
lil ) Falls will prove of lasting benefit to
the farmers and ptockgrowers of the In
land Empire, whether it is operated, is
the opinion of Governor Chamberlain.
Completion of the road and it:? turning
over to the commonwealth in readiness
lor hand ing traffic between the Upper
and Lower Columbia, will he the f-ijin-.l
for.reduction ( f freight : of rail 1 " i j
leaching the interior.
Jmt as ocean rates on f: eight control
the adjustment of tai ill's between the
At'antic and Pacific coasts, even or.
(laws (f t ratlio that could r.ot be
economically or satisfactorily band ed
by water. If ships were engaged tegu
larly between the various ports, so will
the existence of an open river comix 1
lower raten because the means will be
at band for transporting f; eight by
wi'er, even should the opportunity not
be utilized. "Neces-ity tf supplying
boats for the upper river has not yet
been met by provision for sufficient
necessary boats, but tr ere is little doul I
suitable steamers will be provided, and
Governor Chambeibiin thinks it is
probable that interested persons of the
interior will themselves take the re
eponsibility tf placing such a line in
service.
"There seems to be no reason why
tbe portage railroad will not be com
pleted on May 15, the date when it ws
expee'ed the road will be turned over
to the Commission, ready for opera
tion," said Governor Chambeilain.
"It is impossible yet to tell tbe exact
cost, but it will be completed at a cos'
of $165,000 to the citizens of Oregon,
tbe amount appropriated for the pur
pose. It will cost considerably raoae
than the app opriation. but I do not
know the exact amount, the difference
being made up by the open River As
so iation, and there will be no obliga.
tion against tbe state other than the
amount already provided.
"Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washing
ton and Northern Idaho will be greatly
benefited by the building of the portage
road. Tbe natural direction for com
merce of that section of the country is
down the Columbia River and toward
Portland, and completion ot the river
will open the great river and its upper
navigable tributaries to traffic for the
future.
"One of the first benefits to be de
rived from operation of the road will be
reduced freight rates from all points
along the Columbia River east of The
Dalles, and along Snake River. The
portage road will act as a regulator of
freight Ira'es, even if it should not be
used directly for the cariiage of f eight.
That was the effect of coneti uctir.g the
portage road abound the rapids at Cas
cade Locks, and I have no doubt that
the same result will M ow the con
struction of a portage around the falh
at Celilo.
"People interested in securing reduc
tions of freight rales ought to begin now
to make arrangements for building
boats on the upper river. No individ
ual will probably feel like entering into
competition with transportation com
panies, but those interested in cereal
production, as wed as those interested
in livestock, could well afford to raise
money and construct the necessary
boats for the upper river. Such boats
would unquestionably command con-
side'able business, reaching certain lo
calities along the Btream that could be
more conveniently and better served by
the craft than by railroads, through
economy in handling the freight offered
for movement, but the presence of the
boats and their ability to handle ton
nage would be tbe effective means of
compelling granting of bwer rates by
the railroads.
"From information received I have
every reason to believe that in due time
steps will be taken by the people of the
interior to put on a line of steamers.
Those interested have evinced their in
terest and confidence in the success of
the enterprise in a most tubstantial
minner, and thev wiil not stop elmrt of
accomplishment of the benefits for
which it has been intended and is cer
tain to confer.
"I think the road will be completed
by the middle of May, ns has been ex
pected since the contract for building
wasawaided. Work has been and is
now piojre-sing nicely, and the weath
er has been propitious du ing the whole
period of construction. Everything is
being done on a substantial basis that
will make the road permanent and
t ea iee- ble for its requirements as long
as it quired, I think. Equipment will

ivery make to tin state the road will be
ready for operation. Theie wiil be just
as few employes as possin'e just the
number necessary to operate the toad
properly. The small number of em
ployes reqoiied will be felected by tbe
boa d comp scdrf the Governor, Secre
tary of State and State Treasurer. We
have not conferred upon the question of
employes at uV, as vet, for as I have
previously indicated we do not know as
an absolute certainty that the road wib
be operated, or that it will be necessary
to operate it to accomplish that for
which it was built lower freight rates
for the bringing o market of the pro
ducts of the inteiior.
' So far as the Portage Railroad Com
mission is concerned, all will be in
readiness to operate the road from the
date it is accepted, and it will be oper
ated to take care of all of the freight to
be handled between the upper and
lower stretches of the Columbia, at tbe
lowest possible expense to render effi
cient service."
of pride over a new laid egg, and that
motherly cluck when a brood of chick
ens surrounds the old hen.
And now the music of the hens ri'ls
all the country with promise of plenty
and substantial prosperity.
The ben is more than a musician and
a prophet. She has the magio power
to turn her humble songs into the clink
of gold.
In 1900 when tbe latest complete cen
sus was taken, the total value of all
fowls on farms was $85,794,990. - These
produced in one year, poultry that sold
for $136,891,877, and eggs that sold for
$144,286,370 a total of $281,178,247
The investment yielded an income of
400 per cent.
The average yield of tbe ben is 120
eggs a year. The bigh yield of 251 eggs
a year as beea recorded.
So tbe cackle and cluck of the humble
ben are far more than mere music.
Tbe lay of the hen may not be a sub
ject for the poets rhapsodies, but it is a
subject for tbe careful consideration of
the practical minded.
SOON LET CONTRACT.
Plans For Celilo Canal Are Al
most Complete.
Washington, April 12. Within two
weeks, it is expected, Major Langfitt
will be instructed to advertise for bids
for the construction of the first lock of
The Dalles-CeMo Canal, thus liunch
ing a project that has been under con
sideration in one shape or another for a
generation. The Chief of Engineers has
received Major Langfitt's plan for be
ginning construction, but, owing to the
fact that several details are not quite
clear, the papers are to be returned for
explanation. Whan they get back to
Washington it is thought the plans will
he approved and authority granted to
invite proposals.
Major Langfitt's j lans, which have
been carefully worked out in great de
tail and with apparent car, confem
nlate h
' -ui'rucuon on the
upper end of the canal and worth
down stream. This is done to enable
contractors to make use of the canal as
it is completed, section by section.
Major Langfitt has prepared plans for
approaches to the canal at its upper
end. for the guard gates for the firf-t
lock near Celilo, and for a considerable
stretch of canal. It is impossible to tell
how much work can be done with the
money appropriated in the rivers and
harbor law, but it is anticipated there
are funds enough to complete the Ctldo
lock and canal entrance and to do con
siderable blasting and straight caoal
work. Near the first lock it will be nec
essary to build an immense embank
ment as the north wall ot the canal.
This part of the canal, and in fact all
other parts not yet cut through solid
rock, will be lined with cement. All
embankments will be solid of construc
tion and will be faced with immense
rocks to prevent washing in seasons of
high water.
Uood.bye Suckers.
Kansas City, Mo., April 12. The
American Mercantile association, al
leged to be a "get-rich-quick" concern
with offices in a downtown office build
ing, has been closed and this notice
posted on the door: "Gocd-bye. suck
ers, good-bye."
The whereabouts of the rffieers of the
association is not known. The com
pany's head office was at St. Joseph,
Mo., and from there a notice had bet n
sjnt out to its subscribers announcing
the suspension in the following words:
"The officers of the American Mer
cantile association- take thh means to
announce to you f!,-,.t the business of
the corporation has been suspended ann
that it will be nnnmVto complete or
carry out its contract wi'h vou."
When this nntl J
' ' V V- V- 1 I J m,
the Kansas City sobc ;be. the ma-
jonty of whom are Ii!, ;r;-g people
they flocked to the conceiu'a office.
The subscribers had agreed to pay
a week for 80 weeks on the promise-
that they were to receive $100 at the-
end of that period. Many workingr-;
girls and laborers h 1 been making pay
ments for months past. One woman.
had paid $7.50 a week for GG weeks,,
and expected soon to realize $720.
The American Mercantile associations
beean business in May, 1900, andTitsr
books left behind by its officers, show
that it had many subscribers. Tha s'a-
tionery gave tbe officers as : M. Bruen
inger, president and treaeurer; W. L.
Stamper, secretary; L. II Miles and
N. M. Nordeau, field managers. Bruen- -
inger is said to be in the saloon bus.'-s

A school district in Tillamook -county
