l do not believe it amiss to say that
when a rail route is parallel to a wat
err route, the rate is under the control
of the rail carrier. That is-the water
carrier recognizes it's ability to under
bid the rail carriers and they will make
their rates far enough below the rail
carriers to attract the business, until
such 2 time the railroad makes the rate
so low that the volume of traffic NOV

AT that point the inevitable happens.

l agree with F. L. Wallace in his ar
ticle, published in the Traffic News,
Nov. l, that permission giving relief
from the fourth section is the instru-
ment which Is destroying river trans
portation, and there is no question in
my mind that it is disappearing TODAY
because the rail carriers are driving it
out of existence. However, it cannot be
assumed that it will totally disappear
as there will be some river transporta-
tion as long as we have navigable riy-
ers. There is, from year to year, great
er demand for cheap transportation
ana the river must necessarily play It's
part. The American shipper will re-
coSnize- the economic use of flat boat
ana also the favorable advantages of
the railway service. 1t would be alb
solutely ruinous to a merchant of
ladies' garments which from week to
week change style, to seek the services
OF boat line that may be weeks de-
livering his consignment. This mer-
chant rather recognizes the need of
quick and dependable service, and a
greater portion of his business goes TO
the express companies.
Likewise 1t would be unheard of to
ship low grade ore to smelters by ex-
press. If river transportation were
from the mining districts of
Idaho to the smelters, we would move
of ore. 1t is, therefore. ne
to draw that distinction be-
tween water and rail service. When
ever q water route can give the same
service between two points at
a lower cost than can be given by the

HAIRCUTS,

A haircut Is one of the few indigni-
ties that baldheaded men don't have to
suffer.
It's a habit, the haircut is, among
men with densely populated heads.
But it is no ordinary habit. It's a
habit man has to hire another man
to practice for him.
There are fashions in haircuts, as
in everything else. The old fashioned
haircut circled the base of a mans
brain and stopped. But today it goes
on down the back of his neck to see
what his collarbone's doing.
Generally speaking, the haircut is
misfortune. If it wasn't for haircuts
we could abolish BARRIERS.
