known as one of the best platform or
stors in the northwest, and Wa)le
Wallans will be given the rare chance
of hearing him.
Rev. ]. C. Reid of this city, who
has charge of the plans, announced
this afternoon that the celebration
would be made appropriate TO the
occasion, and that he expected sue
cess to crown the efforts of those
who were backing 1t. He also stat
ed that reports, as to the amount OF
money that was raised for paying of
the $11OO debt on the monument was
gratifying, and he thought there
would he no trouble in clearing the

EX-GOVERNOR BRADY

 Friends do not hold the governor responsible for the ruinatIOn of his Boston associates. Isls held that Key holds being able to influence an entire community as he did at Valdez, had DO difficulty in forcing Brady to a firm belief ln the glorious success Of the various undertakings Brady is rot man of business, according tOI even his closest friends, and thatl h. did 20. really understand the inner agairs of the affairs which he attempted to prOmote,is is their belief.
 One friend remarked today, that If Brady he'd remained clear of entangel- mrnt with Reynolds that he would in all probability still be governor of Aa,ka. This opinion Is held by many others who deeply regret Brady's misfortune and who look upon him as a victim of misplaced confidence.

evolved the sophistry of water COM
petition and the pernieious tariff sys-
tenn that taxes a higher intermediate
rate than a terminal rate.
The vast expanse Of territory,
paralleling the Pacific ocean from
British Columbia to Mexico, and ex-
tending inland hundreds OF miles, IL
mulct by the railways under the pre-
te't of competitive water rates. 1t
is an absolute impossibility for the
railways TO show that sufhcient ton
mage moves by water to govern rate
making. According to the records
OF the custom houses on the Pacific
coast the tonnage received In 1906
from Atlantic ports did not exceed
ON an average OF 10 car loads a day,
or considerably less than per cent
OF the business handled by the rail-
ways.
The consumption OF manufacture
ed products at the large coast cities,
as compared to the lesser consuml.-
ton Of inland towns affected by the
back haul charge. would not be on
set by the higher intermediate charge
were such tonnage handled at loss.
Nor could the railways afford to han
die 1t at cost. as the difference be-
tween the handling to interior points
and the excess rate would be in
Sufficient from which to pay divi-
dends.
THE largest item of cost of trans
portation is labor. Seventy per cent
of the operating expenses OF a rail-
way are charged to this account
Therefore 1t can be readily deter
mined whether II costs as much to
deliver goods at an intermediate as
to more distant point.
The only thing required to cor
rect the evil of higher informed
late rate is the application of the
short and long haul clause, now dead
timber in the law. This portion OF
the law should be emphatic in it's dec
laration that a higher intermediate
rate cannot be charged. The rail-
ways are the servants OF the people
and not operated solely to serve
those favored with water transpor-
tation, and they should be made to
serve all equally"

freight rates from the beginning Of
railway transportation. The modes
OF transportation in use before the
advent Of railways were ships, boats
and freighters, and the charges as
sessed by them constituted fair ba-
sis In aiding the railways in fixing
their rates when displacing them in
the transportation business. The
more rapid transit of railway trans
portation gave this method a monop-
oily. Competing or additional rail-
way lines adopted the basis estab-
lished by the lines then in operation,
and so 1t continues today.
"A trafic oficial never concerns
himself as to the cost of the con-
struction of the road or the value
or price of securities when fixing a
rate to be charged; his inquiry is
entirely along the lines of the cost of
transportation and the margin of
profit available at the point of con-
sumption after deducting the approx
Innate cost of the goods at point Of
shipment and the transportation
cost. BY this method he arrives at
the margin of profit possible and
dickers for the most of it.
Contributing factors, which, in
reality, are essential ones that enter
into the matter of making freight
rates are: Liability by loss or dam
age, weight and bulk of articles,
empty car movement, grades and
compromising conditions. These are
used in the argument for the varia-
ton in rates on different articles
which may be transported between
the same points simultaneously in the
same car, but they are not used as
basis in fact.
Practically all of the principal
reasons advanced by railways for fix
ing of rates fail when tested, as the
logical bases have been supplanted
by monopolistic practices.
The origin of the higher inter
mediate rate does not appear to have
been preconceived but rather the
outgrowth of early transportation
conditions. Coast trade was the ear
Hest in the history of the country and
the interior was developed by trans
portatiOn lines being pushed inward
or across intervening territory to con-
meet waterways. In instances where
interior termini sought trade that had
to be transshipped by water carriers.
the rail and water rates were added
to make the through rate. Subse-
quently, when the rail carriers, by
extension of their service, came into
direct competition with the water
transportation the short haul rate
to the nearest tide water point was
retained and added to the water rate
as at first, because the people could
not secure any lower rate by trans
shipment. 1t was not a question of
cost of transportation but matter
of monopoly.
"Out of this pratiee has beer
