TACOMA INFORMATION
LEAGUE
TACOMA THE WORLD PORT
CONTINUED From Yesterday

NContiHueu rToh IeSteIudyl
Reports published by J. N.
Teal, attorney of the trans
portation committee in the
Chamber of Commerce bulletin
of Portland, as published some
time ago, where he says In
part:
Ever since I can remember
the effort has been continued
on the part of numerous inter-
ests to build up competing
points at Portland's expense.
None of the railroads enter
ing this city occupy the rela-
tionship to Portland that the
Southern Pacific bears to San
Francisco, or of the Northern
Pacific to Tacoma.
The Northern Pacific, and
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
center their activities at Taco
ma and again the Hartman
line at one time was looked up
an as an Oregon road-some-
thing of Portland institution.
However. when 1t entered the
cities of the Sound and inn
posed upon itself the burden of
securing traffic to meet the
fixed charges on the lines be-
tween here and the Sound
tthe Puget Sound freight ter
minals are at Tacoma) the logic
of events. the natural conse-
quences of the situation changes
! the relationship. Today it's
policy, its rate making is not
determined by it's effect on the
business of Portland. but large
ly by its effect on it's Puget
Sound business"
The above is only further
proof that the mouth of the CO.
lumbia is prohibitive to deep
seagoing vessels and the rail-
ways are proving it by making
their great terminals at Taco
ma.
Another reason why Tacoma
is chosen in preference to ports
to the north by both the rail-
ways and the deep seagoing
vessels is. first: The level
grades for the railways to reach
the vessels, second. the deep
water harbor with long water
front and excellent facilities for
loading and unloading, and
last, but not least is the COM
ing together of the rail and
water haul at the point of long
water and short rail haul
where IL costs less than at any
other port on the coast.
The following table of facts
proves this:
Tacoma to Seattle by N. p.
Ry.. Al miles.
Tacoma to Seattle by water,
2s miles.
Cost of transporting grain
by rail, 6 mills per ton per
mile.
Cost of transporting grain by
water. 2 mills per ton per mile.
Cost per ton distance Taco
ma to Seattle by rail-006x41-
"a 6-10c.
Cost per ton distance Taco
ma to Seattle by water-002x2S
IS 6-10c.
Saving by water shipment 19c
per ton for the distance between
Tacoma and Seattle or on ar
average ships cargo of 5000
tons the saving would be 19x
S000-$1, $50. or on one hundred
cargoes the saving would be
1852. 900.
Now you have the reason
traffic must be carried on at
Tacoma. It costs less.

them to take him in. No, he couldn't
do that. He squared his ragged
shoulders as if trying to rise superior
to the thought, for there was a rem
nant of pride in Mulcahy, albeit time
and desperate struggle to keep his
feet on the globe had frayed it's
edges.
No, he determined to go back there
get job shoveling snow-but alas! it
was one of those cherries Christ
masses, and nature had not even sup
piled the people out of work with
snow to shovel.
Mulcahy had worked all his life.
He was fifty now, and, as he unrolled
the long catalogue of calamity which
other people might have called his
career, he found that the only year
of his life that had been a happy one
was his last in Jail. 1t had started
merrily even, for, after his outraged
pride had revolted at the idea of be-
ing arrested for his slight connection
with the robbery, comfort came swift
ly with the thought that he was being
punished for omission rather than
commission.
These thoughts and the haunting
smell of hops brought Mulcahy to
Fouth avenue and saloon. 1t was
twelve o'clock, and corned beef and
cabbage-leaf being slated for lunch On

inside.
The story will move much more
rapidly ii We do not follow Mulcahy
and wait for him to eat his corned
beef and philander with a spirit more
of his ilk than any he has met for
the last year, a spirit that seemed al
most fabulous when dreamed Of in

Now he was backed into a little
case of tooth-brlshes. He felt his fin
gers close on something; mechanical
ly he placed the thing in his pocket,
and then let himself drift along with
the crowd.
He had stolen something! Was it a
cake of soaD-perhaps; but with
sickening sensation of impotence he
remembered that one cake OF soap
might not unlock the iron gate of
the pen"
Mulcahy sighed. Now he was in
the jewelry department. 1t yielded
vast possibilities as far as valaubles
were concerned, but these were care
fully protected by glass cases. True,
there were some little trays of gold
filed pins and bracelets scarcely
worth the effort of attainment. And
yet a handful Of these trif1es, fragrant
ly distracted, might attract the at
tention of a detective.
Perhaps there were no detectives,
after all. This thought smote to him IN
the act of reaching out trembling
hand toward a delicate gold-tilled
bangle. Then he paused, and in that
moment of hesitation he felt a tWltch
at his coat, and, turning to face what
he felt must be authority either in

OF getting work until warm weather.
1t was worse than hopeless to think
he could get work now-why, the
weather his age, all were against it.
He would go back to the pen" if he
had literally to steal his way back.
The thing to do now was to conjure
up some reasonable offense, some
trltiing transgression that would open
the iron gates of the prison, as diff
ficult of entrance as it was of exit,
and tide him over the winter months
But what could he do? Not single
misdemeanor suggested itself to his
overWrought brain. If he could only
steal something long enough to get
arrested and sent to the island! But
how? When, and above all where?
Broadway and Thirty-third street,
with it's triangle of shops, answered
that question. 1t was very late, but
he knew that a week before Christ
mas the shops would be open until
late. In the hope that his clothes
would contribute their help toward
arousing the suspicious of the store
detectives, he quickened his steps
feverishly.
Inside the shop was warm, brilliant,
and TANNED with people. The incom-
ing and outgoing crowds jostled and
pushed Mulcahy as If he were a rub
