''The Moldavia, of the Peninsular and
Oriental Line, on draught of II feet
AZ inches, carries about 5000 tons OF
cargo. Each additional foot of draught
gives an increased carrying power of

would, therefore, add about 1000 tons,
or &c per cent to her freight earning
capacity. There would be some de-
crease in speed, but nothing sensibly aft
fecting her time on passage Facts such
as these explain the insistence of ship

builders and ship owners in urging the
necessity for greater depths.
CAS- to the cost of fuel in large and
small steamships, theoretical calcula-
tons and actual practice agree in show
ing that the consumption of coal per 100

the one having loaded displacement of
S,64o tons and the other 26,I5o tons, the
one with a draught of "a feet 6 inches
and the other 81 feet AZ inches.
"The operation of the law controlling
the development of steamships, particu-
larly in respect to their draught, is mex
orable. The naval architect and the
steamship companies feel its effects first
of all, because behind them urging them
on to greater and deeper ships are the
worlds commercial requirements and

portions of steamships. but for greater
capacity and greater economy of trans
portation are of the strongest and most
convincing character AS the displace-
ment of a steamship is increased by in
creaslng the draught, the power required
to drive ton of displacement at given
speed is reduced. Some instances of the
limitations of draught may be cited to
show how important is the question of
providing greater draught and greater
depth of channels to meet this draught
The Deutschland, one of the largest YES
sells of to-day, like all the swiftest mail
steamers, carries very little freight be-
cause of the limits imposed by her de-
parture draught. 1t has been stated that
this great ship of more than $1,000 tons
displacement can carry only 500 to 600
tons of cargo. If her draught could be
increased one foot, about $50 tons more
cargo could be carried, and two feet in
crease would represent about 1900 tons
more cargo. The freight earning ca
pacity would thus be nearly trebled for

feet; gross tonnage, 1917. He pre-
dicted an increase in the next five years
to a length of $50 feet, breadth of
648 feet, draught of 2o4 feet and a
gross tonnage of 1884. When the FIVE
years had elapsed the actual dimensions
were found to be: Length, $40 feet;
breadth, $50 feet; draught, 32.I feet;
gross tonnage, 17,I5I. Steamships of
500 feet or more in length had increased
from twenty-five to ninety-three-an in
crease of 323 per cent. Now Mr.. Cort-
hell predicts that in 1913 there will be
a total of 1865 steamships, represent
ing a total tonnage of 100000, or an
average of 400 tons. The average di-
mansions of the largest twenty steam
ships will be: Length, 1000 feet;
breadth, 100 feet; draught, 80 feet;
gross tonnage, 10000.
Other interesting features of Mr..
Corthell's predictions, which are based
on the developments of the past, are that
the speed of the fastest steamships in
1913 will be thirty knots, that the total
number of sailing vessels will have de-
creased from 56,28I in 1873 to 1880 in
Io48, and their tonnage from I4,IS5,S36
to 3,24I,ooo. The weight of sca-borne
commerce in 1913 will have increased
to 43s,ooo,ooo tons, and the value of the
combined exports of the leading ten ma
tions of the globe will have reached the
stupendous total of $Ioooooooooo.
In discussing the outlook for the fu-
ture Mr.. Corthell said:
There is no reason why steamships
should not continue to increase in size,
and there is every reason why they
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1906-08-30

should do so. 1t is unnecessary to re-
peat the arguments of commercial men
regarding the reduction in the cost of
transportation by increasing the size of
the mass to be moved The natural out
come of the present tendency of trans
portation, both on land and water, is to
increase the volume to be moved; larger
cars and longer trains and more power
full locomotives to move them on the
lard, and larger ships and greater power
on the sea. The competition of ceun-
tries and ports with one another, and
the necessity of reaching the markets of
consumption by distant producers all
serve to increase the freight capacity of
steamships; and the longer the course
the greater the demand for size.
"a very important feature of the sub
ject is the urgent necessity of increasing
the draught of steamships. The length
and breadth have far outstripped this
other most important dimension. The
draught, of course, is rigidly limited
by the depth of water in channels and
at docks.
''The reasons insistently and persist
emily stated by naval architects for in
creased draught, not only for greater
stability, speed and generally better pro-.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1906-08-30

! the demand for cheaper transportation.
! In spite of the apparent 'lethargy of the
J maritime powers, national and local, in
] awakening to the situation of port re-
quirements, the size and draught of YES
sells are still increasing
, "a detail of navigation requirements
not often referred to is. the depth needed
J under yes sells in the entrance channels.
A ship moving. at even low speed, say 8
knots an hour, will have greater
draught than in deep water. As is said
in nautical language, she 'squats.' The
water between her and the bed of the
channel is driven out, and often the ship
will actually drag on the bottom, while
! if stationary there would be foot and
half of water under the keel In the
entrance channels of New York harbor
this is we'll known fact. For. this rea-
son alone, to say nothing of the usual
requirement of considerable space be-
tween the ships keel and the bottom
due to vertical movement of the ship in
seaway, there should be not less than
three and half feet in the entrance
channels between the deepest draught
vessels and the bed of the channel.
"The ports of the world must meet the
commercial requirements of the age by
a marked and continual enlargement of
facilities, and those, who control their
policy should study carefully the re-
quirements of steamships and, looking
to the future, lay their plans adequately
and wisely to. meet these ever increasing
requirements" =
Datascoliected by Nj, Corthell to show
what is being done to provide a suitable
depth of water, for larger vessels shows
that there are 1873 ports which now have
depth of entrance channel of less than
thirty feet at low water, apd 70 which
have a depth of more than; thirty feet.
When all the channels are deepened as
now proposed, the number having more
than thirty feet in the channels at low
water will be increased to OF. Ninety
five ports now have less than thirty feet
of water in the entrance channels at high
water, and 1I3 have more than thirty
feet. When improvements now under
way are completed the number having
more than thirty feet at high water will
be 1876. .
-
The most fortunate port in the United
States in this respect is Tacoma, where
the entrance channel is FIVE hundred feet
deep and the depth at the wharves is
forty to forty-eight feet. Seattle comes
next with a channel two hundred feet
deep and depth at the wharves of
to fourty-four feet New
York will be third when the Ambrose
channel is completed to give depth of
forty feet at mean low water, and New
Orleans will be fourth with depth of
thirty-five feet.

SAN BERNARDINo. Sept. 25.-The
Board of Trade has appointed a COM
mfttee to make fight before the Inter
state Commerce Commission to compel
railroad corporations to cease discrimi-
mating in freight rates against the
merchants of San Bernardino.
Eastern shipments to this point are
charged Los Angeles and San Francis
co rates, plus an excess charge of 20
cents on each hundred pounds as To-
cal charge for back haul from Los An
geles. The bills of lading are sent on
and the excess charges made while the
freight lies in the yards. The commit
tee appointed to prepare the light for
terminal rates is rapidly concluding
preparations. A meeting of the COM
mittee will be called for next week, at
which the campaign viii be outlined.
The members of the committee are
much encouraged in their work by the
decision of the Northwestern railroads
traversing Oregon. Washington. Idaho
and Wyoming. to grant the distance
tariff The distance tariff is the tariff
wanted by San Barnardino and the fact
that the Northw estern roads gave in

The committee has been gathering
materials to show the damage wrought
by the excessively high freight rates
in order to show conciusiyely the in
jury sustained by the extortionate
charges. Itemized statements will be
prepared showing the total excess
charges paid over and above what
would be just and equitable rate. and
