OF Benefit TO SHIPPERS
Federal Report Says Waterways Re-
duce Freight Rates.

Washington, Nov "A review of
the principal events in the growth of
cheap transportation during the last
forty years, just published by the de
partment of agriculture, shows the eff
feet which the system Of inland water
ways formed by the Great Lakes has
had in marketing a large portion OF
the grain crop of the United States.
The report enumerates the various
Improvements which have been made
in lake channels, the ordinary depth o.
water at the shalloWest point in 1871
being fourteen feet, while in 1909 this
depth was increased to tWenty-One
feet. The lake boats built now are
more than six times as large as those
built when the channel was seven feet
shallOWer.
Freight rates for carrying grain on
the lakes are much lower than in the
days Of shallow channels and small
boats. The average rate for wheat
from Chicago to Buffalo has decreased
to less than one-fourth the average
for 1871-1875. Railroad freight rates
have declined, too, during the last
forty years, the average rate from
Chicago to New York by all rail routes
being for several years less than one
half the charges Of thirty-fve and for
ty years ago.

finest of crops are raised on these lands.
The farmers also raise some very fine

among importing firms who were will
ing to profit by this form of graft as
long as there seemed little danger of
detection, but who would rather sacri-
fee millions than to have their busi-
ness standing smirched by exposure
The policy of the federal authorities
in giving liberal rewards to informers
has increased this uneasiness since it
was practically impossible to carry on
these frauds without the knowledge of
certain employees, and clerk who
knew that fortune of $4,000 or $780,
900 might be his for a mere tip to the
federal officials naturally would be
tempted to grasp such rich prize.

sciences and threw them into a blue
funk.
The result has been a grand rush to
get aboard the immunity wagon and
Collector Loeb has been kept busy fo1
the past ten days listening to con
fessions, promises of restitution and
pledges to be good. The interviews
have been carefully guarded but some
of the facts have leaked out.
Some of these offers may be ac-
cepted, but the present disposition OF
the government authorities is to make
"horrible examples" of few more big
firms for the moral effect it will be
likely to have.
