The shipping problems of the Tu
cilic Northwest are becoming acute
and demand the serious thought of
manufacturers, merchants, farmers,
and in fact all who must avail
themselves of shipping facilities. The
high freight rates in the past have

increase effective on the 2 5th of this
month, the whole matter is present

Kentucky and Tennessee, was declar

of whisky every six minutes.
The operators of the plant, when
they "heard 'a noise outside, bolted
through the front door and made for
the timber, eluding the third man,
who had been posted to watch the
front exit to the building.
Besides the still several barrels of
mash were found, together with a
quantity of the finished product. It
was evident that operations had just
started for the night, as but little
fresh liquor was found in the build
ing. This is said to be the second still
found in Independence within the
past six months, the other having
been operated by a Japanese worker.

A relief for merchants and industries
of the Northwest can be secured
through the development of steam
ship lines and harbor facilities which
will be able to handle the shipping
of this part of the country, giving the
advantage of both rail and water
transportation.
The future prosperty of the North
west business demands action. The
lumber industry is dependent upon
the ability of manufacturers to make
prompt and expeditious shipments
of lumber to eastern markets and
other trade centers. Farmers must
have better transportation facilities
for marketing their grain, livestock
and other produce. The life of our
industries depend to a great extent
on the ability to secure the cheapest
rates combined with prompt service
for the shipment of raw products
from the east and for the distribution
of their manufactured articles if they
are to compete with other industrial
centers of the world.
