free time allowed shippers to unload
cars; and construction of new terminal
facilities by both railroads and ship
pers in thickly populated districts.
The proposition to interchange cars
is good though it will not meet all
situations. Often it is motive power
rather than cars that is short. During
the last couple of years the demand for
iron and steel has been something
enormous. Mills have been unable-- to
supply the demand and are monthsi be-
hind on their orders. The railroads
could not foresee such an enormous
increase in traffic and their orders for
new engines wc~o not as heavy as they
should have been. Furthermore they
have found it difficult, probably impos-
sible, to get all of the motive equip
ment ordered. 1t is likely the conges-
tion this fall has been caused more by
scarcity of engines than of cars.

To Prevent Car Shortages.

In accordance with the request of
President Roosevelt, Senator Hans
brough of North Dakota has prepared
the outlines of legislation which he be-
lieves will tend to prevent recur-
renee of the recent congestion in
freight traffic and coal shortages in
the northwest. Some of the points con-
templated by Senator Hansbrough are
provisions giving the interstate COM
meree commission power to inquire
into the equipment capacity under
stress of extraordinary requirements
of all interstate railways; giving the
commission authority to require ship
pers holding cars in demurrage to un-
load and reload such cars within "a
hours; making it misdemeanor for
common carriers to compel trainmen
to attempt to move trains containing
tonnage in excess of the registered
tonnage capacity Of the engines haul
ing such trains; authorizing the COM
mission to require the temporary use
of idle equipment of one road to sup
plement the overtaxed equipment of
another.
The interstate commerce commits
sion recently held sitting at Kansas
City to investigate the car shortage
matter and it was agreed by all parties
concerned that much benefit would re-
suit if free interchange of cars
among railroads could be brought
about. Probably the best means of
bringing this about was, as suggested,
by the establishment of car clearing
house with every railroad in the coun-
try member, so that freight car
would be ''at home" and available for
use whenever and wherever unloaded.
Other means suggested were as fol-
lows: Increase of perdiem charge
to railroads for retaining foreign cars
beyond specified time limit; adop-
tion of reciprocal demurrage law re-
quiring railroads to pay a penalty for
failure to furnish cars to shippers
within q reasonable time from the date
they are ordered; reduction Of the

Counties May Take the Land.

Governor Albert +. Mead, it is an
nounced, will champion at the coming
session of the legislature, says the
Spokane Chronicle, an act providing
that delinquent tax certificates shall
remain in the hands of the county
treasurers of the state, instead of
being disposed of to private individuals,
and that counties may bid for property
sold at delinquent tax sales, and hold
title to the land after the expiration of
the time when the back taxes can be
paid and the land redeemed byi-the
original owner.
"Outside investors are in the habit
of securing these delinquency certif-
Gates, the governor is quoted as say
ing. "As rule the back taxes are
paid by the owner of the property be-
fore the land finally passes from his
possession and it is the delinquent
property owner who pays this heavy
rate of interest. While tax payers are
compelled to pay Is per cent for loans
during the present prosperous condi-
tions, so long as some one is to benc-
fit from this, why can not the county
extend the period covered by the deln-
quency certificates and advance this
money now furnished by investors? A
majority of the counties have plenty of
money with which to conduct their af-
fairs without having to call upon this
outside capital. Even if the county has
to borrow the money, know of no bet
ter disposition the state can make of
the millions at it's disposal than to loan
the county what money it needs at
rate of per cent interest. Even this
would save the tax payers of the coun-
ty the difference between per cent
and the Is per cent now paid the peo-
pie who secure delinquency certificates.
again, there is no reason why the
county can not become the owner of
the property to which owners forfeit
their title by not paying taxes. The
county might as well bid in this prop
erty at the tax sale and reap any rev.
enues which may result from it's fut-
ure sale at market valuations. This
will be productive Of large revenue,
and together with the saving effected,
will equal an income equivalent to that
from general assessment of several
additional mills.

Ask Money For Rivers.

An appropriation of $42, 900 for the
improvement of the Columbia river in
the vicinity of Wenatchee will be asked
for at this session of congress. and
will, if granted, be another step to-
ward the conversion of the Columbia
into continuous navigable waterway
from Canada to the Pacific ocean.
1t has been proposed to ask for an
appropriation of $4,000 for the i'm
provement of the river from Cello to
the mouth of the Snake, but it is hard
ly expected that this will be granted
at the present session.
The Dalles-Ceiilo canal has been
already authorized and the war depart
ment recommends an allowance Of
$3.50, 900 for next years work. This
may be cut down to 5000, 900 in the
river and the harbor bill
Ii is confidently expected that Rep
resentative Jones, the northwestern
representative on the river and harbor
committee, will secure the incorpora-
tion in this years bill Of authority for
the following important surveys, in
cludlng estimates of cost:
Bellingham harbor; Blain harbor,
Chehalis river, Skagit river as far as
Sedro Wolley; PuyalIup river from
Tacoma to Puyalup, Cowitz river as
far as Castle Rock, Pend d'Oreille river
from Newport to Box Canyon and pos
siblya survey Of the proposed water
way connecting Puget Sound with
Grays harbor The survey for this
waterway will, il made include an esti-
mate of cost and expert opinions as to
its feasibility and advisability.
