FIRST SHIPMENT BY WATER
WHEAT GOES BY RIVER ROUTE
Steamer Jerome Takes Initial Cargo Of Grain From Kenne-
wick to the Portage Railway at Ce|i|o-B Boat
Line Is Now In Operation

Washington side Of the Columbia
opposite Arlington, another in Ben
ton county opposite the mouth Of the
Snake, and it is reported that lum-
ber is on the ground for one at Wal
lula.
It is claimed by the Open River as
sociation people that they have sufn-
cient pledges from farmers in the
Lewiston country and other sections
along the Snake river to keep one boat
busy for the next two months, and
they expect also to remove consider
able Of the wheat raised in the Kick
itat country.
What Teal Has to Say.
Joseph Teal of Portland, one of the
members of the executive committee
Of the Open River association, was
in Walla Walla last night comforting
with DR.. N. G. Blalock, who is also
a member of the association, relative
to the boat lines. He said that the
three above boats are to be run in
dependently by their respective own
ers, and will not be operated in the
name of the Open River association.
While most of the business at first
will necessarily consist of the carry
ing of wheat, the boats will all be fit
h11c
mess also, and what traffic Of that
nature appears will be cared for.
AS to the rate to be charged for
wheat and other classes Of freight no
schedule has yet been arranged. How
ever, there is to be a charge of 25
cents per ton on wheat that is car
ried over the portage, and Mr.. Teal
says that the through rate by water
to Portland will be such as to come
under the railroad rate now in force
In the opinion of Mr.. Teal, who mas
given considerable attention to the
matter of transportation along the
Columbia, there will soon be num-
Der of short railway lines running to
| the river from various places in
Washington and Oregon. These he
| holds to be needed in order to carry
| the wheat from inland sections to the
river without relying upon the larger
| railroad companies. He believes
that a line running from the Horse
Heaven country to the COlumbla
would be success and will be built
| some day.

The company now has connection
from Seattle with about 80 towns to
the north. 1t has good system in
Snohomish; franchise has been
granted for Everett, and it is under
stood that everything is favorable for
the new company to enter Bellingham
Port Townsend is ready to welcome
the new company and no trouble is
anticipated in getting into vancou-
yer, B. C.
A franchise has already been grant
ed an independent company in Port
land, and a franchise has been asked
for in Tacoma The old company has
developed strong opposition in Taco
ma to the new concern, but it is be-
lieved the independent company will
succeed in getting foothold there.
With the three largest towns in the
northwest as nucleus, it is intend
ed to cover thoroughly all the inter-
vening territory. [
There are a number of lines now
operated by farmers in the country
about Walla Walla, and where these
lines can be made use of they will be
taken in, the idea being to establish
continuous chain of telephones ra-
dating In and out of Spokane or
Walla Walla for this section of the
state.

SWEAT-SHoP AND FACTORY
Progress of Machine Civilization
RELOCATING Unsanitary
Workrooms.

We need not rely upon the poets
and poetieal historians for knowledge
OF what the "handicraft" civilization
meant. We can study 1t, writes David
Graham Phillips in the Reader Maya
zine, as It survives practically un-
changed In the miserable novels of
Bohemian and Italian and Spanish
peasants, where men and beasts rot
together In conditions of sanitation
that would not long be tolerated In
any place where the machine civiliza-
ton" has inaugurated its high AMI
ever higher moral and physical stand
ards. We need not go SO far from
home. To get a picture of a prosper
Gus handicraft city Of the middle ages,
go to New York's east side, where are
the fast-disappearing sweatshops that
we're transplanted from "handicraft
neighborhods of Europe. The poets
have 1t otherwise: and so do the his
torians who like to paint ailuring pic
lures for their readers-and hate to
grub for facts. But there Is the grisly
truth. Contrast the average sweatshop
with the average factory. No: con-
trast the best sweatshop with the
worst factory.
