The Open River.

The open river is somewhat like
the referendum-the less necessity
there is for its application the more
successful it is. The opening of
the Columbia by the Portage Road
was one prime factor in compelling
the construction of the railroad
down the North bank. Next year
the traffic Oh the river will be in
full swing. Even if the traffic by
the river route were Improbable,
the open river is still there as a
club, compelling the roads to give
the public reasonable rates. Even
if the Portage Road does 10 busi-
ness, it is grand success.

MOUNTAIN GEM LEASED.
Will be Used in Connection with
Portage Road.

The steamer Mountain Gem,
owned by the Lewiston Navigation
Co., has been secured by the Open
River association to run on the
Columbia above Cello. This boat
is owned by Lewiston business
men. She is now at Riparia and
will leave for Cello with the first
rise of the river. Later she will
ply between Cello and Lewiston
and also make trips to upper river
points above Lewiston.
The announcement was made
yesterday at Lewiston by G. F.
Allen, lessee of the boat. It is
planned TO take the first full cargo
of wheat to Cello from Lewiston
in very short time.

Running Day and Night.

The St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber
co are running both mills night
and day, cutting over 500, 900 feet
of lumber day, and Capt. Everett
G. Griggs says they bought over
1900, 900 feet of lumber last week
from outside mills to fill their orders
and are still behind. The St. Paul
& Tacoma Lumber Co. is doing
business. Last month its mill pay
roll was $4,000, and with its log
ging operations, coal business,
stevedore, store, ETC., it paid out
for labor about SIoo, COO a month.
They have completed a drive we'll
at the old mill that is supplying
them with fine water. 1t is down
$50 feet. They are now putting a
larger one down at the new mill.
It is an 11-inch tube. The water
contains magnesia and soda, which
makes it very fine water for med
icinal purposes.-West Coast Lum-

SOMETHIN DOM
IN 30 DAYS.

Eyes, it is true the contract has
been let for the entire road from
Kennewick to Portland" said
nrominent railroad builder who
passed through Kennewick yester-
day. "Siems & Shields who have
the contract do not do any of the
work themselves. They sublet all
the work and only furnish supplies
TO the different outfits" When
will work begin in earnest? LAS
soon as the sub contracts can be
let and the outfits can get OIL the
ground" I'm about 80 days there
will be something doing all rig ht."
As to the survey the gentleman
said: GA line has been run from
one end clear through to the other
and as 3 per cent maximum of
curvature has been secured, only
few minor changes will be neces-
sary" Would the high cost of pro-
curing the right of way through
the valuable Kennewick valley ir-
irrigated lands be a sufficient cause
for a change of location to run the
line above the ditch? mo, 1 think
not, for direct route regardless of
expense is the principal object of
the two companies in building the
road" In reply to further ques-
tion the speaker said he had no
knowledge of any intention of the
Great Northern to build down the
Columbia from Rock Island where
that line crosses the river" But it
was inquired, eff the new road is
a joint affair how en- the Great
Northern use it when the Northern,
Pacific single track from Spokane
is already crow ded to it's full carry
ing capacity. We'll, he replied,
81 think the G.. N. will use the
new line like the Burlington now
uses the N. P. line from Billings
west. It will transfer coaches con-
tanning Portland line passengers
to N. P. trains or perhaps run one
solid train through to Portland like
No. S CT the Burlington train does
now. Freight will be transferred.

Bench Mark on the Bank building.
1t could be lined with concrete,
coated with asphaltum and covered
for $1,000. Its capacity when full
would afford three fire streams of
200 gallons each per minute, at 90
pounds pressure ard the supply,
even with an idle pump, would
last 7 hours. A system of outlet
pipes and gate valves can be so
arranged that if a system is in
stalled and the supply is made
quate for every domestic need as
we'll as irrigation of lawns, there
can still be retained in tie reser-
voir for fire emergencies 100, 1000
lons,-good for two fire streams
fer four houre. AS is the case of
sizes of mains in the distribution
so here can a smaller size be used
at a less cost, but a reservoir one
half the size would cost two thirds
as much.
The total cost of the system as
above outlined would be about
$17,5oo.

Pointers on the Water System

The town of Rosalia employed
Prof. w. J. Roberts, of Pullman,
to investigate the situation and
make a report to the town council.
The following extracts are taken
from the Rosalia Citizen because
Of local interest in the water ques-
ton.
Amount Required-The average
amountrequired for ordinary towns
is about 100 gallons per capita per
"a hours. The amount, 100 gal
Ions for each inhabitant, every "a
hours. is about the right estimate.
Kind of pipe-The machine band
ed wooden pipe and the Matheson
joint steel pipe are of about equal
merit. The former is slightly
cheaper but unless very carefully
laidi subject to leakage.
Pumping machinery-A gasoline
engine of 20 horse power with a
power pump of 800 gallons per
minute capacity will cost $1,000.
Distributing Reservoir-The cost
of reservoir is based upon one hav-
ing capacity of 100000 gallons,
situated on the hill near the pres
ent stone cistern belonging to Mr..

Charlotte has, demonstrated Of late
and railroad tracks cross each other
on grade. Two collisions in two days
is pretty steep for a city of Charlotte's
size. The fact that no lives were lost
or serious injury to any person done in
either should not give too great con-
fdence to the authorities of the two
serious results in future. That seems to
be a very dangerous crossing and we
advise our friend up that way to do
may he some big damage suits pretty
soon.

In conjunction with the decision Of
the federal supreme court in the beef
trust case and the declaration Of the
executive branch Of the government
that it will see that the order of the
court is obeyed, the following paragraph
from President Roosevelt's address be-
fore the Union League Club in Phila-
delphia the other evening is very sig
nifcant:
The great development of Industrial
ism means that there must be an in
crease in h supervision exercised by
the governmnt over business enter
prises. This supervision should not taxi
the form Of violent and ill-advised inter-
ference; and assuredly there IS danger
lest it take such form If the business
leaders of the business community con-
fine themselves to trying to thwart the
effort at regulation instead of guiding
it Alright"
1t begins to look for the trusts
like a case of Captain White and the
coon.

CONGRESSMAN PAGES DILEMMA.

According to the Washington Post
Congressman R.. y. Page of the
Seventh North Carolina district finds
himself in a very unpleasant and en-
barrassing position. We do not sup
pose another such case has ever arisen.
But the friends of Mr.. Page can rely
on his pursuing the honest and honor
~able>course in this delicate matter and
Rev. Mr.. Oglesby and the benefciaries
Of his estate feel confident that he
will do the right thing and will be
satisfied with whatever course he may
pursue. The Washington Post says:
Representative Page, of Biscoe, n.
c., is in a plight, such as comes rare
ly to members of congress-. He is the
treasurer and chief owner of the Ash
boro and Aberdeen railroad, some so
miles long. There was a wreck on that
road the other evening in which Rev.
CT. A. Oglesby, pastor of a neighbour
ing church, was killed. It was the first
time any one was ever killed on the
road. Mr.. Page was doubly grieved
over the occurrence, because it vas
unfortunate for his road, also because
the victim was his personal friend.
But, to add to his troubles, Mr.. Page
learns that the dying request of Rev.
Oglesby was that the member of con-
gress should be the administrator Of
the estate. As the estate will naturally
claim damages Mr.. Page feels that it
would put him in a delicate position
to have to sue his W road. At the
same time he Toe not like to refuse
compliance to a dying friends request.

Wrestling


Tom Jenkins has evidently caught
on in England, for he has secured a
number of lucrative engagements in
the London halls. Jenkins has been
doing fine work, too, beating as many
rs three men u night. Jenkins is still
after a match with George Hacken-
schmidt and it looks as if the ''Rus-
sian lionn would have to accommodate
him with a contest. jenkins has
posted a forfeit, the same to remain
up until Hackenschmidt makes up his
mind to cover it.
Higashi, the Jap, announces that
his contest with Alex Swanson. has
been arranged and that the bout is to
take place iu New York on or about
October 10. The match is to be under
jiu-jitsu rules. Everything is to go.
If Higashi can apply the strangle on
his mar or If he u apply one of his
bone crushing holds or main him in
any way it is to count. Swanson has
the same privilege. A fall will be
scored when one man pins the shout
ders of his rival to the floor. Hugh
Leonard will probably referee the
match. He--has been studying jiu-jitsu
and understands the game. Anyway
he will not be much handicapped in
giving a fair decision owing TO the
fact that u pin fall, such as is used in
catch as-catch-can and Graeco-Roman
contests, will constitute a clean fall.
Yopio TAM, the japanese wrestler,
who. is considered one of the best iiu-
jitsu experts in the business, wants to
visit America and meet Higashi in Il
straight jiu-jitsu match. TAM is in
England, where he has been a success
the last six months. Very few of tbs
European wrestl' rs have been able &c
stand before him for more. than five
mi n1tes. He does not bar any style
or weight so long as he is allowed tc
use jiu-iitsu methods.
TAM offers to meet Higashi for 8
side bet in New York or in England.
He declares that if Higashi will visit
England he will guarantee expenses
and n purse and wants Higashi TO dc
the same if he makes the trip tC
