Cheap Traffic on the Lakes.
The system of inland waterways
formed by the great lakes has done
much toward making better and
cheaper service in the marketing Of q
large. part of the grain crops Of the
United States. Deepening the lake
channels has made Il possible to use
larger vessels. and with the increased
size Of the carriers have come lower
freight rates. A review Of the past
forty years. covering the principal
events in this growth Of cheap trans.
portation. has just been published by
the department Of agriculture.
The review shows that the ordinary
depth Of water at the shallowest points
has been increased from fourteen feet
to twenty-one feet within the past
forty years. Deeper channels admit Of
larger ships. and the capacity. espe.
cially of grain vessels. has increased
many fold. Upward Of 400 freight
cars would be needed to transport the

NATIONAL LEAGUE.
No games in National league yes

The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-09-26

With a patched lineup and some
OF their best players not much more
than out of the hospital, the Spo-
kane Indians, Northwestern pen
nant winners, are this afternoon
clashing with the Portland Beavers,
who. are at present leading the
Coast league.
Despite the crippled condition Of
the Indians, the game is attracting
much attention and interest, both in
Portland, where it is being played,
and in this city where the Indians
are the pride of our baseball hearts.
That the redskins have a possible
chance to win seems out of the
question. Even with their lineup
complete and every player right up
on his mettle it would be a nip and
trNb proposition for the Indians to
get away with that bunch of Port
land Beavers. Should they succeed
in winning in their present condi-
ton 1t can be nothing more than
miraculous baseball luck.
The Portland team is a fast,
brainy bunch of ball players, and is
winning its games by keeping in
perfect condition and by magnifi-
cent team work. Every man of the
team is right upon his mettle at the
present time, and they will put up
the game Of their lives against the
Indians. What chance has a Grip
pied team against such an aggrega-
ton?
Even should the Indians win, the
game cannot be fair test of the
merits Of the two aggregations. To
get line Of the real strength Of the
teams both must be in the best pos
sible shape, and a series must be
played.

1.-The Market for Souls by Elizabeth
Goodnow. Mitchell Kennerey, ESQ
A few weeks since this department dis
cussed book. "War on the White Slave
Traffic" which should have been dis
cussed; a discussion, a diffusion of the
facts contained in the book would be more
than good for our goody goody- selves, who
take not in anything that does not happen
save under our very noses. And some
times. II we happen to be afflicted for the
nonce with moral cowardice catarrh, even
right under our noses, is Intellectual Still
we must all do the very best we can.
1.-THE Market for Souls is book issued
in the hope that it will prove of real SER
vice as q contribution TO the study of the
social evil,'. which is now receiving such
earnest attention and careful investiga-
ton.
The book contains some strangely
vivid stories. some fascinating in their
intensity and truth, making clearer the
characters and separate tragedies of
those who live upon the wages of
moral death. No more important phase
of the subject can be presented; for
their lives and their motives are fun
damental factors of the question:; and
in considering these and learning to
comprehend them, it becomes possible
to study the whole problem more help
fully and to devise remedies.
The stories in this volume are re-
lated by the women who themselves
are living the moral death. The stories
live. They are startling in reality and
there has hardly been a book of short
stories published recently that from an
interesting point alone would deserve
more serious attention.
But outside of that the effect OF
these stories should be and in nine out
of ten cases would be for the good; a
desire to do something to help the
fallen. Just what to do? Well, that's
the question. Wiser people than you
