Master "Wor.KMAN Powderta 1ms
issued a long manifesto to the Knights
of Labor, in which ho urgently re
quests that education be made the fit-

strikes be entirely done away with.
Powderly confesses that Knights of
Labor strikes have never been suc
cessful, and that the time to call a
halt has arrived. He says: "What
combination of hungry men can be
found to fight a battle against a com
bination of dollars? When the work
man ceases to earn money his stomach
falls sick, and unless charity is given
he starves. If our membership of
500,000 is instructed in the full mean
ing of the preamble of the Knights of
Labor, we will do work which all the
strikes of the age, had they all proved
snccessfnl, could not do. Let us edu
cate our people; teach them what it is
that causes depressions; teach them
what is contained in our preamble;
have them discuss it, sifting out that
which is good in it, and exchanging
that which is not so good for some
thing better. '

On the 7th day of October, 1834,
Axel Wiklunu, a Hussion, was instru
mental in sr.viug EH Christopherson
from drowning near the Columbia
river bar, and in consequence of the
heroic act, which almost cost Wik
lnnd's life, the- American government
caused a med.il to bo struck for
the rescuer, and tbo Russian vice
consul, Qnstaf Wilson, resident here,
was so advised.
Before the government recognized
Wiklund's humane conduct he disap
peared from the state of Oregon. Mr.
Wilson, who takes much interest in
Ins countrymen living in ins consular
jurisdiction, engaged m extensive cor
respondence to learn what had be
come of the hero, and only recently
he ascertained that ho is now living
in rinlnml.
This morning Cant. Sebree deliv
ered tho silver medal, appropriately
inscribed, to lUr. Wilson for trans
mission to tho honored mau. Tho
consul stated to aTilegram represen
tative that no subject of the czar may
wear a decoration of any character
without the consent of tho Russian
imperial government; henco ho, this
afternoon, forwarded the medal to

The Difference in Cost of HanUng Grain to Tide
water Over the Cascade Mountains, and
Via the Columbia Hirer.
In an interview published bv the Ore
gonian last Tuesday, Hr.E.Y. Smalley
discussing tho relative advantages ef the
Columbia river, and the Cascade mount
ains route, in answer to the proposition
that rates should naturally be lower oyer
u ievei man over a steep graue, saiu:
l mini- tnat argument is based upon an
erroneous idea as to the cost of transpor
tation over the high grades on the Cas
cade route. Snch grades are. not nearly
as grepi uu uosiacie 10 iraiuc as many
people suppose.
Uo obtain an expression or opinion
irora disinterested engineers ot experi
ence, the Oregonlan put the following
question to Air. a. liaweooa. cruet en
crineer of the Portland & NVillamette
Valley railroad, and to Maj. A. F. SJsars.
well-known as the engineer of several
American railreads:
What is the probable difference in cost
of hauling gram from the Columbia river
basin to tlue-water, say su miles, over
the Cascade mountains as compared
with the level route along the Colombia
river?
Mr. Hawgood answered: "To haul a
train over the Cascade mountains would
require nn engine of double the weieht of
that necessary to haul the same train
down the Columbia river liuo. The in
crease in cost would be 15 per cent. If
ordinary-weight engines are to be used
(and doubled over the extreme grades)
the cost wonld be about 48 percent, moro
than via the Columbia river. I assume,
however, that the railway company oper
ates tho road in tho most economcial
manner, namely, with heavy engines.
Tho present river lino could bo improved
by reducing grades and curvatures to the
extent of making tho Cascade line ftl per
cent, more costly to operate.
Evidently this was no new question to
Major Sears, for ho opened his desk and
handed the reporter a copy of a paper
which ne reail isovember r, lwi, hetore
tho American Society of Civil Engineers.
entitled, "Commercial Cities: tho haw of
Their Birth and Growth," together with
discussion by other members of the so
ciety, which, he said, contained n fall
answer to the question. Iu this paper
Major Sears quoted numerous instances
on tho Atlantic coast mid the unit ot
Mexico of failnres on the part of rail
roads to build up new commercial cen
ters, lie said: "Un account of the in
fluence of railroads and capital in root
ing out old stage stations and m building
nn soma prairio towns or manntaetnrine
nnd suburban villages, it has come to be
believed that these agencies are able to
control the fortunes of whatever place,
and are all that is requisite to bring new
cities into being and maintain thum in
prosperity. Tho Atlantic coast is strewn
with ruined hopes in tho shops of still
born cities, havmj' excellent harbors nnd
abundance of water front, of which the
only rnfson d'etre is superior facility of
access from the ocean."
After detailing these features, he laid
down this propesition: "77ic commer
cial port of a region Kill he as close to
the producer a? it is possible to no, and
obtain reasonably good faciliiie-'i for
the class of transportation demanded
by the produce of the country. This is
the law the inexorable, immntahlo law,
without exception, in the world's econo
my." Major Sears concluded his paper as
follews: "In the northwest, the relation
of Portland on the Willamette to Paget
sound closely resembles that, existing be
tween tho ports of New York and Boston.
Portland occupies tho Bito of a great
commercial center for an immense re
gion. All the country west of the Rocky
mountains tributary to the Northern Pa
cific railroad and seeking an outlet on
the coast will, on going westward, make
Ainsworth, at the mouth of Snake river
on the Columbia, a common point of de
parture for Puget sound as for Portland;
from Ainsworth the trade will either de
scend tho great valley or, proceeding
along the projected line of railroad, cross
the Cascade rango and enter a Puget
sonnd harbor.
"Hero occurs a problem the solution of
which is peculiarly the duty of the civil
engineer. The lineal distance from
Ainsworth to Puget sound differs hut
little from the distance to Portland. In
this case there is a descent of moro than
300 feet along the Columbia river in
favor of westbound traffic. In the other
n summit of 2100 feet is to bo overcome,
besides tho curvatures of a sinuous
mountain lino and the increased cost of
constructing a lino with fairlv practica
ble grades. These resistances,.to be en
countered in operating, the engineer will
eqnalo with their valuo in level tangent
before determining which torminns is
most accessible to tho interior."
Mr. George B. Morison took issue with
Moj. Sears, and being familiar with the
railroads nnd seaports of tho northwest
coast advanced tho argument that the
assisting power required to take a train
up the mountain grade wonld be no
heavier tax upon tho grain producer than
the high cost to ship3 of reaching Port
land as compared with Pnget sonnd Wrts.
Major Sears, replying, said: "I am
well convinced that it will cost twice as
much to carrv n ton of freight from
Ainsworth to Pnget sound as from Ains
worth to Portland; even considering the
wretched blundering in constructing the
lino down the valley of the Columbia."
And ho concludes his answer to Mr. Mor Mer Mor
rieon: "Of eourse, railroads have in
creased tho commercial wealth and ma
chinery, but as yot they have not, and I
dare to sav they never will, divert trade
from the line of direction of natural
channels, as laid down in the paper now
under discussion. Every new commer
cial port undertaken by railroad capital
ists has been a failuro in reaching tho
fulfillments of its promises, and such en
terprises must continues to be failures."'
It should be remembered that this dis
cussion took place more than three years
ago, long before there wero nny negotio
tions about a joint lease nnd division of
terrritory and injunctions, and almost
before tho Coeur d'AIeno mines were
heard of.
It was intended to present the same
question to Mr. C. AY". Johnson, superin
tendent of the O. R. & N. Company, but
being an officer of a rival line, he wonld
no doubt havo n delicacy about answer
ing it. Still it is known that Mr. John
son has more than once given it as his
opinion that it will cost at least $1 a ton
more to haul grain from tho Inland
Empire over the Cascade mountains to
tide water on Puget sound than it costs
by the Columbia raver route to Portland.
