If deep draught vessel on open wa
ten like th Great Lakes cannot secure
oil the business from railways that
charge (making allowance for distance)
ever three times as much aa the jessela,
certainly such vessels In restricted wa
ters cannot compete either with the rail
ways or with the great tows that are
still competing with railways In the
Eastern United States and In Europe.
Such Inability to compete, on the part
of deep draught vessels Inland, where
no Immense Inducements nreofercd fa
voring tho ocean vessel, Is one reason
why the combined tows and railways
have driven ocean vessels off every
river having at Its mouth a seaport
anywhere nearly equal to the up-river
port
We find the railways from Chicago
that parallel the great lakes competing
for and securing burlness in the follow -
lng amounts and at the following rates

There Is a good deal of hair splitting
done by the advocates of Inland sea
ports, as to the amount of actual In
land penetration towards the heart of
the country and towards the producer,
In the case of existing seaports. The
distance Inland, as measured at right
angles to the general coast line, Is In
significant In most cases. At Ham
burg, for instance, the real coast line
of the great masB of land is a line
drawn from the mouth of the Elbe
nearly eastward to Lubeck bay, and
thence northeastward. The Danish
iienlnsula counts for nothing, as re
gards penetration of land. Now Ham
burg is only 25 miles from such a gen
oral coast line, which represents all her
penetration towardB the general body
of producers. To secure this, the vessel
runs nearly parallel with this general
most line sixty miles, and at the end ot
the Journey Inland, Is not much bettei
off than whim It begun Its Journey, sc
for as nearness to the producer Is con
cerned. It Is evident that other rea.
sons have operated In such cases, oi
purely local ones not related to the
great mums of land now reached uy
lull, such as locul harbor, shelter, and
small areas early developed contiguous
to the river. At dlusgow, also, the real
coast line runs from Falrlie Head, north
by a little west to the muln qoost line of
the Isle of Skye. So far as Inland pene
t ration goes, the Indented territory
west of this muln count line counts for
nothing, as the vessel is more cut oft
from it In port, than when It has
reached Dumbarton, " Hence Glasgow's
real Inland penetration Is only 22 miles
not much more than any seacoast port
might well have; anil Glasgow's post
thm counts for little ns an argument for
going inland. It is evident that purely
local considerations governed here also,
namely, the large local tonnuge which
before the duys of railways, could not
get out at all, unless by water,
At London, from the Nore to Albert
IHx'ks, tho dlstunce Is only 34 miles, not
a very great penetration towards the
producer.
We tabulate the amount of actual
penetration Inland In miles from the
general coast line on which advocates of
Inland ports base their immutable law.
When the grunt areas of our country
reached by rail are considered, It will
ba seen that the amounts are trilling,
and that where very great local advan
tage are not offered, the prospect In
our new country, well supplied with
cheaper rnllwuys than Is Europe,. the
prospects of these small amounts of In
land penetration receiving great con
sideration, are not promising:
Antwerp SB miles
J lambin g 25 nil.e.i
London 31 miles
Clusgow 22 miles
Gloucester loo miles
Montreal 225 miles
I'h!ade:phla, 50 mil s
Baltimore, 90 miles
Charleston miles
Savannah 13 miles
Jacksonville ,,,,, m miles
New Orleans 0 nilles
1'ortland 60 miles
Tacoma, m miles
To secure Portland's Inland penetra
tion, 114 miles of Inland navigation are
required. For Taeoma's 85 mile, 160
miles of Inland navigation and 120 miles
of waste ocean navigation are required,
as compared with a point opposite the
mouth of the Columbia.
Gloucester, the most Inland port of
England, should hold supremacy Re
cording to the Inland theory. Glouces
ter, besides being from three to fuur
times aa far Inland aa any other port In
the United Kingdom, has its entrance
in the direct line of ocean commerce,
With no lost distance. Yet Gloucester
Is hut a sixteenth the site of Liverpool,
and less than one-hundredth the siie of
I-ondon. Of the 36 wheat vessels sent
by Portland In 1S91-S to the I'mted
Kingdom, only one vessel was con
signed to Gloucester. Montreal secured
only eight and one-half per cent of the
wheut shipments, althouh It Is most
distinctively luland of all th American
ports and connected with, the Interior
by the largest draught water chaiuifl
lhat exists. As already noted, the va
rious transportation lines In 1H1 took
from Chicago to Baltimore, only 251.237
bushels, and to Philadelphia only KJ7.51S,
aa anuiiwt 3iS.fl.993- buahvls to New j tain lines of buHlnesa, a la seen by the.

by rail. '
As has been noted, the railway com'
petlntf with deep: draught vessels on
the open lakes, secure a large amount
of even Uie lower grades of tonnage,
They secure the lion's share of the high
grade tonnage which builds up a mart
of trade as distinguished from a mere
shipping port; and there Is no difficulty
whatever, In their reaching to the coast
past any ports If the markets of ex
change.be established. But for any sort
of tonnage, the ocean vessels are still
bt a disadvantage Inland on restricted
waters. If the open lakes cannot se
euro all the tonnage even of cheap
grades from the railways, much less
will vessels In restricted chnnnela do so.
In considering the case of a railway
along the Columbia from Portland to
Astoria, we find the following rates of
cost of transportation that are of In-
terest: .
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg, 4.6
, mills per ton mile; Delaware, Lackawa-
ra and Western, 3.54; Lake Shore and

These are average rates for through
and local, on all classes. -
But the cost of carrying an addi
tional short distance, as from Portland
to Astoria, is not to be measured by
average rates. Van Nordllng, the great
European expert, who examined this
question In connection with proposed
ship canals, reported that the rate for
an additional distance on railways, with
cars loaded only one way, was leas than
half the average cost; or with back
loads assured, the cost was still less.
But the possible profit to a railway
Is not to be measured by rates only.
Whatever actual difference exists In
market values at the coast and Inlund
port, Indicates tho amount the railway
may expect to get the b.neflt of, dlrcc ly
or Indirectly. In seeking to ascertain
this, care must be taken to throw out
fictitious rates which any parties may
presejit In order to minimize the differ
ence between the two rates. The dif
ference of values between San. Francis
co nnd Portland will measure the possi
bilities for Columbia river railway rates,
A still more important consideration
than one of rates is that of Increased
business,
"A large, convenient seacoast port at
the mouth of the Columbia would
.hnnfjc the whole tonnage flow of the
Pacific northwest, and concentrate it
along the Columbia route In time, ex
oept from a limited northerly area. It
would draw away from San Francisco
most of her northern buyers. The South
ern Pacific Comixmy probably realizes
this, and havlntr a monopoly In San
Francisco and California, prefers to fa-
or that port until forced to come to
.he Columbia mouth."
'Pcrtlund was located and attained
much of Us growth under the primitive
pastoral conditions of a water route In
in agt (cultural country. The river was
the only Important mode of transporta
tion, necessarily a slow mode. In such
jose, the agricultural and developed
areas closelv hug tho streams. The
early settlers In Oregon had sought out
flint the open valley bottoms of the Wll
lametts, comparatively clear of heavy
timber.- There was but ono single
thread of transportation, tho river, and
but ono small area to bo served, the
Willamette Valley. It was the natural
thing In any .exclusively river route, and
before the great towage system had
cheaply made steam available for all
classes of boats, that ocean vessels
should penetrate well inland, If the de
veloped region lay there only. A hun
dred miles of wilderness, and two day'
slow river navigation, separated the In
land buyers from any possible coast
porU. or mart of trade. Any past at
tempt to draw such a mart down to the
coast, far away from the buyers of the
only developed region, was emtnent.ly
foolish. It merely Indicated what would
have been best und most desirable for
the ocean carriers In a fully developed
country well provided with railways
and towage systems. There was then
no necessity for the mart of trade to
consult either convenient radical ar
rangements to all of the country, or to
pay much attention to tho wilderness
between herself nnd tho coast. But
railways put buyers at a coast port and
mart of trade practically as readily as
at a mart a few miles Inland, and all
conveniences and advantages can be
concentrated at the coast port there
fore, without consulting relative dis
tances for buyers from Inland houses.
!Ve now find all the Paclfio coast de
veloping, not merely a small Isolated
valley. Therefore the great and con
venient mart of trade for all must be
sltuuU.nl to accommodate all. This
mart of trade must not Ignore the
onut, or require It to. go Inland a long
distance counter to the movement of
products. Philadelphia held commercial
supremacy Inland unMt railway lines de-
veloped, and her buyers could quickly
reach N--w York. Now Philadelphia
sends her manufactures thore to be
old, to a great extent. The fa,-t that a
city has attulned a large growth does
nut now long compel Wi failure of
others mure naturally situated fir cer-
Capital kftlimttiStSij fatiter, U h)i!l'(i frt
nd i'HniiiutttliJii.4 are tndtf. readily
made1 In favor of the desirable Mention;
than In former days. The coming of
railways, not as mere crossing points
(as Portland will be when Astoria Is
reached), but as necessary and final ter
minal trans-shipping points. Is what
finally decides such growth. That Su
perior could thus spring up In defiance
of St. Paul and Minneapolis, proves the
truth of such a statement.
"On examining Portland's location
with reference to routes of transporta
tion,, we find it remarkably liable to fu
ture isolation. Portland attaches great
value to a location at the 'head of navi
gation, and makes this the test of com
mercial superiority. If this be such a
test, Portland's loss of supremacy is
certain. That city Is not at tho head of
Columbia river navigation, but a good
25 miles by water remote from it. The
'head of navigation' of ocean vessels for
the great future business of the Colum
bia basin must be sought on the Co
lumbia Itself, above Vancouver. It is
not possible that the great but unwieldy
tows from the Columbia will double
back on their course and run counter to
their coast ward direction, and run up
the narrow Willamette (narrowed still
more by contracting dikes) and against
a swift current (mode still more swift
by contracting dikes), to Portland.
