dispatch from The Dalles says:
Zero weather continues here and

Dufur and Is below at Shanilko At
Madras the mercury sank to 20 below

The ice-packed Columbia here has
become a thoroughfare. foot passen-

Three-Mil rapids tremendous gorge
has formed, the ice piling to height
of 60 Or more feet. Tonight the ba-

bated.
For the first time this winter the
fuel situation here is becoming crltl-

constitute the only available wooo
supply. with no coal to be had at any
price.

the Inland Empire may be stated ap-
proXimately at half billion dollars.
With this exhibit of the population
and wealth of this region, it should be
added that its development has but
begun. Vast areas, rich in every re-
source, are still wilderness. Over a
million acres of fertile desert land,
susceptible of irrigation and better
adapted to intensive culture than any
similar land yet remaining in the
United States, but now mainly unin-
habited, is Immediately contiguous to
the Columbia river.
The Freight Rates as Compared With
Those In Regions Having Water

mendous handicap under which this

The above figures show that the
rates from Portland to Walla Walla
! were about four times as much as
those by water on the Mississippi and
about twice as much as those by rail
in the Mississippi valley. Much OF
the same difference prevails between
points in the Inland Empire not hav-
ing water competition and those on
the lower Columbia or Puget Sound.
For instance, we may compare
rates from Portland to The Dalles I'M
der water competition with these
from Portland to Umatilla when there
was no steamboat competition, as fol-
lows:
Rates Per Ton in Carload Lots:
Portland to The Dalles. SO miles;
salt. $3.50: sugar $500; canned goods,
$500: grain. $3.50.
Portland to Umatilla. 1877 miles;
salt. $3.50; sugar. 5000; canned goods
5000; grain. $500.
The local rates given in both the
above tables were somewhat reduced
by changes going into effect on Jan. 1,
1907, as result of the competition of
the portage railway at Cello and the
steamboats, running in connection
with it, although the service was in
adequate on account of rapids above
Cello.
Benefits Accruing by Reason Of What
Has Already Been Done Toward
Opening the Country to Water
Competition:
The chief work thus far done is the
federal canal at the Cascades, be-
tween Portland and The Dalles. This
canal opened but relatively small
region to seaboard connection; not a
twentieth part of what will be opened
by the Cello canal and the other i'm
provements on the upper river Never
theless, it has had so marked an ef-
feet upon rates within the sphere Of
its operation as to constitute an over
whelming argument in favor of con-
tinued river improvement.
The following table exhibits the
rates per ton in carload lots, from
Portland to The Dalles, (8S miles,

water competition through the Cas-
cade canal

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION.
Legislature to Appoint Committees to
Confer With Other Assemblies.

Below is a copy OF a concurrent
resolution which will also be intro.
duced by the Walla Walla delegation.
The object of this resolution is to
secure harmonious and united action
by the three states of Washington,
Oregon and Idaho in the matter of
impressing congress with the import
ance OF open river legislation:
Whereas. the states of the Columbia
basin are alike interested in the es-
tablishment of continuous steamboat
navigation on the Columbia and Snake
rivers. and
Whereas, Oregon has already ap-
propriated the sum of $4,000 for con-
structing and maintaining the portage
railway at Cello, and 100000 for Sc
curing right of way for the federal
canal at the same point; an
Whereas, There has arisen a gen.
eral recognition by the people of
Washington and Idaho of the great
value to them of maintaining and ex-
tending the work initiated by Oregon
and employing it as our most eff
fective means to secure immediate
and adequate action by the federal
government; therefore
Be it resolved by the
the cOncurring,
that a committee of one on the part
of the senate and two on the part of
the house be appointed to enter into
conference with the legislatures of
Oregon and Idaho to consider such
legislation as may be of interest to
the three states in regard to the i'm
provement of the great rivers; and
Be it further resolved, that in the
judgment of the legislature of Wash
ington, the congressional delegations
of the three states be instructed to
act as a unit in securing appropria-
tons for the rivers from the federal
government and in every way to
make the improvement of the rivers
their primary aim in national legisla-
ton.
ton; and
Be it further resolved, that the Sec
rotary of state be hereby instructed
to notify the secretaries of state of
Oregon and Idaho of this action and
to transmit copies of this resolution
to the legislature of each state.

If such an exhibit can be made at
| this stage of development, what may
be expected when the entire vast In
land Empire seeks a water outlet at
this point?
Next in Importance in the way of
river improvement is the portage rail-
way at Cello, near the location of the
proposed canal. This railway was
ing two seasons past, has been op-
Grated in connection with steamboats,
on upper and lower river. Owing to
unprecedented low water, difficulty of
procuring steamboats,, and lack of
warehouse facilities. the work of rail-
way and steamboats, was much
hampered and results were not equal
to what was hoped for. Yet, in spite
of these difficulties, the effects of this
initial work were SO marked as to be
an earnest of what may be expected
when the river is fully opened, and
they constitute an unanswerable aryu-
ment for the speedy completion of the
Cello canal.
ho nf E>ponl. 7 Smith
superintendent of the Open River
Transportation Co., dated Dec. 81,
1906. we learn that considerable re-
auctions were made by rail to meet
the rates at whatever points could be
reached by steamboats,.
It may be added that thousands of
sacks of wheat were offered the
boats, but on account of difficulties
named above. could not be handled.
In addition to the above figures. we
may call special attention to the fol-
lowing comparison as one of extreme
significance. The reductions to Walla
Walla on Jan. l, 1907, are five cents,
eight cents, two cents and four cents

fourth class goods respectively, while
to Wallula. the corresponding reduc-
lions are thirteen. fourteen, seven and
seven cents respectively on the four
classes.
What makes such difference? OBJ
viously, the fact that Wallula is on
the river, while Walla Walla is thirty
miles from it. AS soon as the latter
city has it's expected trolley connec-
tons, it will receive like general re-
auctions. The above exhibit is sufi-
cient to demonstrate the efficacy of
river improvement to compel rate re-
auctions on railroads.
We may add that the Open River
Transportation Co., is expecting to
place several new first class steam
boats on the river in the near future.

! railway, will still further make the

Moreover. the experiences of the
government seems to prove conclu-
sively that the contract system in
sures far more rapid and satisfactory
results than any other. That method
is employed on the Panama canal. We
earnestly hope that congress will ap-
ply the same method to the improve
ment SO fraught with advantage to
the Pacific northwest. 1t is safe to
say that within three years at the
most, the saving on freights in the In
land Empire will more than counter
balance all the expense of making our
great rivers navigable at all seasons
throughout the major part of their ex-
tent, and that means an amount of
navigable water second only to the
Mississippi, among the river systems
of the United States.
Your attention is furthermore called
to the confessed inability of the rail-
ways to provide transportation suffi-
Gent for the growing demands of COM

famine prevailing through the north
west, by failure to move wheat from
the interior to the sea, or lumber
from the seaboard to the interior, and

church, who favor the use OF English in
stead of Swedish in services and in church
bodies His accord with the younger ele-
ment of the church is also shown by the
