Because the Open River association
has been unable to make any ar
rangements with the Portland steam
fic of the Upper Columbia river, an
independent line of steamers will be
put on the river by the people of The
Dalles in the near future.
In fact. the Commercial association
of The Dalles has pledged capital suf-
ficient to extend the portage road from
the Big Eddy to The Dalles, to put a
line Of river boats and to make The
Dalles the business center of the Great
Southern, which is now being built to
Dufur.
It is likely a line of river boats will
be put in commission in time to han
die a portion of this years crop from
the upper river. AS yet the Mountain
Gem of Lewiston and the Hanaford of
Riparia are the only boats that have
made any move toward securing traf-
fic from the upper river and these
could not handle the trade as they are
constantly employed in local traffic
between up river points.
BY building half mile of track
from the Big Eddy the Great Southern
can be connected with the portage,
and then by building a mile and a
half westward. the portage can be
connected with The Dalles so the con-
ccntration of the business of both the
portage and Great Southern at The
Dalles is a comparatively easy task
and will be accomplished in short
time.
The Great Southern Is reaching
southward and eastward from The
Dalles and is tapping a rich wheat and
fruit district, and will afford an enor-
nous amount of traffic for the new
line of boats to be built by The Dalles
people.

Philadelphia, July 1.-THE cable to
an elevator in the Land Title build
ing, this morning broke and the ele-
vator dropped from the eleventh floor
to the first, seriously injuring the four
occupants.
Assistant City Solicitor Henry T.
Kingston had both legs broken and
will probably die. District Attorney
Bell had leg broken and was inter-
nally injured. William Barne, another
passenger. sustained conclusion of the
brain and will probably die.
The elevator was inspected official
ly and bore a tag certifying to its per-
feet condition on juno %. Whether
this certificate was merited or was
given as n result of criminal collusion
between the inspector and the owners
of the building is not known. Mayor
Weaver declares the department of im-
spcction of buildings and elevators.
must be overhauled, and at once.

RATES ON THE PORTAGE.
Commission Meets Soon to Fix Freight
Charges.

Salem, July 17.-Since the harvest
Of the fall grain is on in Eastern Ore
gon and Idaho it will soon be neces-
sary for the state portage board to
hold a meeting and decide upon a
schedule Of freight rates to be in ef-
feet upon the road affecting the vari-
Gus points along the line from Lewis
ton to Portland.
Hitherto it has been unnecessary to
establish a schedule, because no
freight was moved or was likely to
move for several weeks. but now the
time is approaching when the grain
will begin to move and the board will
find it encumbent to take action in
the matter.
1t is questionable if a meeting will
be held until Governor Chamberlain
returns from the east, which will not
be until the 23rd of this month. The
o. r. & n. company's tariff rate now
in effect between Lewiston and Port
land is 19 1-2 cents per 100 pounds,
practically 81 per ton.
1t has been estimated that, If the
portage road should establish a rate
of SO per ton upon freight between
these two points there would be a
considerable amount of profit in it
and would still be much more reason
able rate for the farmers and shippers
of grain.
On the other hand there is a like
lihood of the o. r. & n. company re-
adjusting it's present schedule to COM
pete with the portage road and fur
ther cut by the latter, it is thought,
might operate to precipitate a rate
war between the competing lines for
the business.
The two members of the board here,
Secretary of State Dunbar and State
Treasurer Moore, are undecided as to
when the rate schedule meeting will
be held. but quite probably the latter
part of the month. If the SO per ton
rate is established, proportionate
rate will be arranged for the other
stations along the route.

Lenox, Mass, July 1--WE are in
a period which breeds pull. and pun in
turn promotes graft" said President
James ]. Hill of the Great Northern,
in an interview given at his sons home
in the Berkshire hills.
There are too many quack political
theories which clash with sound busi-
ness. We are dilly dallyirg with South
American trade, and trying to build
a Panama canal.
I'VE have no ships nor protecting :
laws for a merchant marine. | shat
certainly never again build a ship un-
der the American flag. What is needed
the country over is great awakening
revival in its business and higher COM
mercial standards. This will have to
come before we are a world power"

At a meeting of the regents of Wes-
ton Normal school which will be held
in this city tomorrow night, an order
will be issued to close the school and
a custodian will then be appointed to
have charge of the property. This has
been decided upon in advance of the
meeting by the members of the board
of regents as it has become evident
that the people who have given notes
for the support of the school did so
under misunderstanding, and it will
be impossible for the regents to secure
funds with which to keep the school
open.
The notes given were signed as a
mere matter Of collateral or backing
for the regents, in securing funds,
with the understanding that they were
never to be paid. 1t now becomes
necessary for the regents to place
these notes in the bank, and draw
upon them Immediately, thus making
them payable to the banks, should the
referendum vote cut out the appropri-
alton for the normals and a number
of the signers of the notes have OBJ
jected to this, so the only thing to do
is to close the school according to the
regents best Judgment.
1t is to be regretted that the school
must close as it is now at the begin
ming of its most promising year. A
class of over so would have been
graduated next year and applications
from students in every county in east
ern Oregon have been received by
President French, who Use working
very zealously for the school.

commission is possible, although not
probable, the enforcement Of the reg
ulations probably to be left to the
courts.
The next provision will probably
cover the question of equitable traffic
arrangements between Independent
roads so as to make it possible for prl-
vate enterprises to construct railroads
both electrical and steam, and to Sc
cure from the Hartman system such
traffic contracts as will make such
tions it being next to an impossibility
for an Independent road to secure
satisfactory treatment.
1t is the desire of the people that
every reasonable effort shall be made
to secure the construction, either by
the present trans-continental COM
panies, or by new enterprises, of rail-
roads through central, eastern and
the coast portion of Oregon.
Judge Lowell further stated that
there would be no radical legislation;
that the representative men of the two
development leagues were in accord
with his own views in the matter,
which are to the effect that railroads
are necessary for the development of
any state. and that neither their oper-
ations or their extension should be re-
tarded by any extreme legislation;
that they should be accorded the same
consideration as private individual
dealing with the state, and no greater
privilege; that he believed, however,
that the time had come when public
sentiment demanded that the control
of the states by corporations should
cease and that the control of the cor
porations by the states should begin.

Militia Team Won From Baltimore
Club by Large Score-Rice and

The Corcoran Cadets plainly showed
their superiority over the Baltimore
Athletic Club in basketball last night

tors by % to in the National Guard
gymnasium.
The District miiitiamen were with
out the services of Handiboe, who was
lately ruled out of amateur athletics
for professionalism. but, despite his
absence. put up an excellent game of
ball. The passing and general team
work of the Cadets was perhaps the
best seen in any local gymnasium this
season. The lads from the Monu-
mental City were able to score only
on free throws.
The basket shooting Of Fred Rice
and the work of Chism at guard were
the features
Immediately after the game refresh
ments were served in the company
rooms. and later there was dancing in
the gymnasium.
