AN OPEN EIVEE,
Without It, Slow Development of the
Columbia Biver Basin.
An Opinion that Two BUroads arc
Inadequate for the Needs or the Conn
try Branch Roads to the Kiver.
Anent the discussion of various
questions indissolubly connected
with the joint lease of tne Oregon
Railway & Navigation property,
Major A. F. Sears yesterday, in
conversation with an Oregonian
reporter made a point well worth
consideration. -He had been asked
to give his opinion a3 to the relative
cost of hauling grain over the Cas
cade mountains and alonr the Co
lumbia river rout (published else
where in this issue). Having com
plied with the request, he added
that tho prosperity of tho great
Columbia river basin did not de
pend upon tho policy of tho com
peting lines or railway. The hope
for the full development of the
agricultural resources of that legion
lay in an open river;" not only in
the teasonablc freight rates that
an open river will guarantee to
the producer, but for tho necessary
transportation facilities which an
open river alone will afford. The
great desideratum of tho agri
culturist, next to reasonable rates
of transportation, is promptness
in getting his products to market.
No two lines of singlo track rail
way will be capable of moving tho
surplus grain of the inland empire
with any degree of promptness, say
two or three years hence. Maj.
Sears gave it as his opinion that if
only one-half of the agticultural
land of tho Columbia river were
placed under cultivation five lines
of railway would not have capacity
to haul tho products to tidewater
within, say, six months after har
vest. The carrying capacity of a
railroad is limited; of a largo river
unlimited.
Furthermore, said .Maj. Sears,
the agricultural development of
tro inland empire will not com
uutil there is an open river. The
problem of transportation by water
is easy of solution. The govern
ment may be expected to complete
the locks at tho Cascades. Ore
gon and "Washington must build a
boat railway around the dalles of
the Columbia. Nature his furnUh
ed a better and more suorihmii !
foundation for such a railway tli -n
human hands can build. The rn!
way onco built, tho principal in
vestment will bo for barges. The
heavy traffic is- down stream. Oiip
pood steamboat can haul several
loaded barges to tidewater, and
bring them back empty. The
capital invested in a lino of steam
boats and barges is small as com
pared with the amount required to
build a railway through a moun
tainous country.' Operating ex
penses, of course, are small in liko
proportion.
An open river itself would avail
little in the full development of
the inland empire, for the reason
that only a small part of the agri
cultural region is within easy haul
ing distance of tho river, but the
certain promise of low rate by
water will stimulato the building
of railway lines from the interior
to the river. Dr. Baker's road from
Walla Walla to Walllula is a fair
sample of a score of roads that
will be built. "From my Knowl
edge of the topography of the coun
try," said Major Sears, "I am well
satisfied that many of the roads
can be built at a cost of $1000 to
$5000 a mile, and the resideuts of
the country will build them with
out the aid of ontsido capital, and
the profits of tho enterprises will
romain in tho region that produces
the grain. Assume, if you wish,
that tho Northern Pacific and the
O. R. & N. this day are inclined to
make rates on grain as low as an
open river would afford a very
wild assumption and that they
are willing to give a perpetual
guarantee for such low rates; you
would then have only a partial
development of the Columbia river
basin, equal to the carrying capa
city of the two roads. With an
open river the construction of
branch lines will not hang upon
the caprico of an eastern board of
directors, nor upon tho financial
circumstances of far-away corpora
tions, The peoplo of Oregon and
Washington will build them, and
they cannot be forced to sell out.
Besides, an open river will compel
existing lines and those which
shall be built in future to charge
no more for hauling freight than
the low river rates. The hope of
Portland and of the Columbia river
basin lies not in the abrogation of
the joint lease, nor in a continued
war of rates between the O. R. &
N. and the Northern Pacific, but
in an open river." Oregonian, 31.
Missouri and Oregon.
A rancher near Lexington,
Umatilla Co., kept a Missouri
land-hunter over night. Tho
caller wanted to know what ad
vantages this country had over his,
and the ranoher, with considerable
truth, barring his reference to
Pike having prettier girls than
we have, said:
"Well, Missouri beats this coun
try for mud ducks, geese, niggers,
mules, hogs' corn, chils and fever,
hard work, watermelons, pretty
girls, persimmons, paw-paws, and
possums. I think this country
beats Missouri lor wheat, oats,
barley, Irish potatoes, good health,
bunchgrass, jack rabbits, coyotes,
horso thieves, gamblers, bad whis
ky and lazy men." Welcome.
Delicate persons, and all whose sys
tems have become debilitated, should
bear in mind that Simmon's Liver Keff
ulatoris not a drastic, purping medi
cine, does not weaken or deplete the
system as other purgatives do, but acts
Rtnllj. It will inviolate like a glass
of wme, but is no intoxicating beverage
to lead to intemperance; will promote
digestion, dissipate headache, and gen
erally tone up tho system, lion. Alex.
