Z is manufactured in this country at this
time, thereby producing greatly in
creased demand for raw materials
from which alcohol is made.
There is a provision for central de.
maturing warehouses. This will per
init the establishment OF cooperative.
denaturing warehouses, to which the
farmers can take their alcohol to have
1t denatured.
There Is also a provision for the
4 transpo of both alcohol proper
and denaturized alcohol in tanks or
tank cars, thereby immensely cheaper
ing its transpo rtation and its cost to
the general public.
Many Barriers Raced.
4 Another provision which, In my
Judgment, is BY far the most impor-
tant. provides that all distilleries Of
100 gallons per day capacity or less
where denaturized alcohol only is to
be manufactured shall be taken out
from under the provisions Of existing
law for the manufacture Of alcohol
and made subject only to the regula-
tons Of the commissioner of internal
revenue, This certainly is very radi-
cal departure and removes many OF
the barriers In the way Of the manu-
facture Of denaturized alcohol BY the
small producers.

Products OF the Farm.
The value Of farm products for the /
country, every pound Of which except
what is consumed on the farm must be
carried by the railroad to market was
as follows:

The farm contributes to the commerce
of the country just about three times
what il did Is years ago,
Our population has increased about
100000 since the census of 1900 We
produced twice as much steel in 1905 as
we did. in 1900, an increase of about
100000 tons. The increase in pig
iron was about 20 per cent in the same
time, OF 100000 tons The estimated
coal product for 1906 is 10000, 900 tons
in excess of 1900.
Material Growth Evident.
The petroleum product more than
doubled between 1900 and 1905; the g.
1920 barrels Of Portland cement In
1900 became about 4O,oOo,0Oo last year;
the value of the national mineral product
rose from $500, 200, 900 in 1890 to nearly
4 $l,4O0, 000, 600 in 1906. The cotton mills
Of the country consumed 3,665,412 bales
in 1900, and 4,723,7Os bales last year.

comparison of these figures, dwind

4 ness and traffic developments already
II given will state clearly the real problem
that looms appaliingly before the co,ir-
& try; one that has surprised and almost
disnayed railroad men as well as ship
pers. And the pressure on terminal fa-
cilities has been even greater than that
on tracks. It's the attempt to draw off
water by pipe one inch IN diameter
from reservoir into which constantly
flowing water from a pipe three inches
in diameter With every hour the level
q rises and the pressure increases The
situation is clearly one of physical lirni-
tations that must be overcome if pros
perity is to continue. It is national

addition to trackage on through lines
and to terminals. What that involves
will be considered later. .55

some facts showing the contribution Of
the northwest to this problem, what the
railroads have had to meet and what
they have done to meet it.

Spouse to the request Of the Journal
correspondent for an interview sizing
up the free alcohol situation, and tell
ing just what the effect will be Of the
amendment which is now pending to
the free alcohol law of the last SEES
sion, had the following TO say:
The original bill, as It was, report
ed from the house committee Of WAYS
and means at the last session, was all
that could be expected in the face Of
the tremendous opposition, and was
drawn in the interest Of the small dis
tillers. The senate, however. amend
ed the bill. providing that 9denaturized
alcohol could only be made at licensed
distilleries, and also providing for
bonded denaturing warehouses When
the bill came back to the house thus
amended, after comforting with Mr..
Hill Of Connecticut and other active
friends Of the bill In the house, and
after taking the advice Of the speaker.
1t was agreed by all that, IN view Of
the lateness Of he session and Of the
fact that the bill was passed 1.-the
senate only BY the utmost pressure,
and also in view of certain adverse
sentiment there, that 1t was not safe
or wise to disagree to the senate
amendments, thereby giving the sem

house. therefore, agreed to the senate
amendments. and the friends. Of In
dustrial alcohol felt that great stride
had been made, as every cent of the
tax had been removed and all expense

government.
Chance for Cooperation.
The bill, as recommended BY the
committee. is in the nature of a sub
stitute for bills introduced in the
house by Mr.. Hill, Mr. Gronna, Mr..
listed and myself, We have given
these provisions very careful study,
4 and believe it fully covers what is de-
sired at this time. It also has the very
hearty approval Of the legislative com
mittee of the National Grange and Pat
rons Of Husbandry. whom consulted
before its introduction.
The first section provides for the
use Of alcohol In the manufacture Of
ether and LIQUID substances ia which
alcohol does not appear, This will
permit the manufacture Of Eliminates,

NEW MAIL RULES IN PORTLAND.
New o. r.. & N. Train Causes Change
I'm Former Practices.

Owing to the new arrangement OF
the mail service the o. r. & N. train
leaving here at $3.50 o'clock does not
accept letters in the car at the de-
pot, says the Oregon Daily Journal.
This is due to the fact that mail is
sent In sacks through to Pendleton,
where connection with the mail train
is made. The regular mail car Is
carried on the local leaving at 7:15
a. m. This Is done so that mail for
oregon points will make connection
with the branch lines running through
the state.
Several people with important let
ters for the east were disappointed
this morning when they arrived at the
depot to learn that the train leaving
at S:15 would not take their mail.
If letters for the east are mailed at
the postoffice by sos o'clock in the
morning they will be sent in the
through mail leaving rs minutes
later.
