PORTAGE ROAD.
Governor Cham berlain Says
Freight Rates will he Lower.

That the State Portage Railroad at Ce
lib Falls will prove of lasting benefit to
the far mers and stockgrowers of the In
land Empire, whether it Is operated, is
the opinion Of Governor Chamb berain
Completion Of the road and ite turning

for reduction Il freight rates Of rail In 8

economically or satisfactorily hand ed
by water. If ships were engaged regu-
larly between the various ports, so will
the existence of an open river compel
lower rates because the means will be
at hand for transporting freight by
water, even should the opportunity not
be utilized. Necessity cf supplying
boats for the upper river has not vet
been met by provision for sufficient
necessary boats, but tt ere is little doul !
suitable steamers will be provided, and
Governor Cham beilain thinks it is
probable that interested persons of the
interior will themselves take the re-
sponsibility Of placing such line in
service.
"There seems to be no reason why
the portage railroad will not be com.
pleted on May Is, the date when it was
expected the road will be turned over

than the app opriation. but / do not

Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washing

benefited by the building of the portage
road. The natural direction for COM

"Peop.e interested in securing reduc-
tons OF freight rates ought to begin now
to make arrangements for building
boats on the upper river. No individ-
ual will probably feel like entering into
competition with transportation COM
panies, but those interested in cereal
production, as well as those interested
in livestock, could we'll afford to raise
money and construct the necessary
boats for the upper river. Such boats
would unquestionably command con.
siderable business, reaching certain To-
calities along the stream that could be
more conveniently and better served by
the craft than by railroads, through
economy in handling the freight offered
for movement. but the presence OF the
boats and their ability to handle tom
ge would be the effective means of
compelling granting of lower rates by
the railroads.

every reason to believe that in due time

We will again resort to peaceful methods
