CASCADE LOCKS, Or. Sept. 26. 1891.
To the HonoraJles Sylvester Pennoyer,
George W. Mcbride and Phil. Metehan,
constituting the Board of Portage Com
niissioners OF the State Of Oregon:
GENTLEMEN-As my work of construc-
ton of the Cascade Portage railroad is
about completed, wish to make a par
tial report and also to be allowed to offer
a few suggestions.
The road is about completed except
the extreme ends of the east and west
inclines. This cannot be done economi-
cally at present on account of the high
water, and can be done in the spring on
both ends for not tie exceed $500. The.
road, however, can be operated right
along just as well until spring and then
the inclines must be completed before
high water in June. This can be done
ut odd times by your operating service.
at hardly any additional expense. Your

As soon as the policy is issued to the
state of Oregon it will be forwarded to
the secretary's Office.
We have very good gravity system of
water supply for all purposes of the road,
including fire, but still think it wise to
carry at least from twenty to twenty five
thousand dollars insurance.
l have done all my work the best
could and think it will bear all criticism,
admitting that possibly have made a
few small mistakes. 1 have purchased
the material as low as the market would
allow, and / think that no fanlt can
justly be found with the price paid.
There have been some faults found and
attacks made against me by parties
have been unable to find, which the ma
jority of the board 1 think fully under
stand, and l will leave myself in the
hands of the board as to whether l have
or have not done my duty honestly,
economically and as speedily as possible
4 l now wish to make few suggestions
as to the system of operating the port
age in a careful manner, and with. ex-
tremely low expense, and still be a care
full and systematic way of doing that
which feel the boord wishes to do; that
is to please the people and still have the
state suffer no loss.
(, The estimates l have prepared are
based on only one boat above and one
below, feeding the portage, and if one
more boat above and below should be
put on, increase the expense only one
man at $75 per month. The conductor

lotll -.------ =, $1,000 90
Making total expense of not to ex-
ceed $1,000 per month the year around,
and possibly not over 5000 per month.
/ wish to say that l cannot possibly
stay longer than November 1st, at the
outside, and would like to be excused
earlier if possible, on account of my
business, but will volunteer to go down
occasionally until the river freezes up
and assist in getting everything going
Systematically, and will not make any
charge for the same after November 1st,
as think can get transportation free.
l also think that probably after this
year you can gst along without any con-
ductor, by having superintendent take
charge of train, and do all the clerical
work. The transportation companies
are required to furnish a press COPY of
all way-bills and furnish cupon check
for all passengers. Now all the work
there is to do is for the superintendent
to copy those way-bills and coupon
tickets, for his own use, and then turn
them over to the secretary of state, with
the money earned, collected from trans
portation companies, keep time of the
men who are all hired by the month and
send in the pay roll to the secretary of
state, for the monthly pay account.
There is no possible use for clerk, and
after time throw the Offices of superin-
tendent and conductor into one Office. /
also think it best for the superintendent
to give small bond to the state, for the
transportation companies turn the
money over to him twice a month and
the superintendent then turns it over to
the secretary of state. This will relieve
the board from all responsibility.
Speaking of the earnings of the port
age, at the present tariff 1 think it will
be safe to say they Will at least amount
to $500 per month the year pround.
This. however, is hard matter to calcu-
late on and base my estimate on the
amount of freight which passes to and
from The Dalles. However, your tariff
Is subject to change at any time without
notice, and it will be the duty of your
superintendent to carefully watch this
matter and change this tariff just as
soon as he finds it necessary. The board
is aware that / lost my residence in the
late fire at The Dalles; therefore it is es-
sential that 1 be relieved from your SER
vice as soon as possible to attend to my
own affairs, but please bear in mind that
L will not neglect my duty to the board
until am relieued by my successor. L
will do everything in my power at all
times to assist the board or its officers
OF the portage in any way can.
| also think it absolutely necessary to
have the duplicate of all bills left with
the superintendent for reference. also
the eight bills, as there are some over
charges OF freight and. it can be collected
by the rebate process of railroads. but in
order to do this must have the freight
bills.
L have put on an operating crew and
had hard time to look up good men
and / do hope, as long as these men do
their duty faithfully, the state will en-
ploy them, as had to make, in some in
stances, promises of steady work. The
conductor l have employed is. E. M.

Many of our cit ems, including railroad

orders to equip all its cars with them. All
he wants now is to establish the factory
to turn them out. He has abundant
orders, and when it Is considered that
there are over 100000 railroad, cars
in the country, to say nothing of the con-
slant manufacture, the field for such an
invention may be imagined. Gslesburg
