Trains Block Traffic.


Considerable complaint has arisen
in Pendleton, especially from resi-
dents of the southern part. over the
manner In which, the O.-W. Il. & N.
trains block traffic by pulling across
street intersection and stopping. A
city ordinance permits them to hold
up traffic for period of ten minutes
but no longer However, trainmen
every once in a while take advantage
of this privilege by allowing their
trains to remain across the tracks for
much longer periods. This morning
eastbound passenger train No. 6. aft
er discharging and taking on passer-
gers, was pulled up across the Main
street crossing and remained there
for more than 90 minutes Teams
and automobiles were brought to a
halt. girls working down town were
made late, fully 40 high school stu
dents had their way blocked ana
many other pedestrians were incon-
venienced. One resident Of tha south
fill states that he has been holding
his watch on the trains recently and
finds that the violation of the ordi-
nance is by no means infrequent.

FARMERS NEED No
LEGISLATIVE FAVOR
MERELY NEEDS SAME CREDIT
ACCOMMODATIONS AS OTHERS
SAYS HOUSTON.
In Annual Report Secretary Of Agri-
culture Discusses Rural Credit
PrOblem-Farmer Docs Not Get
Same Accommodations As Others.

In his annual report which was re-
leased yesterday. Secretary Of Agri-
culture Houston devotes considerable
attention to rural credits and the fol-
lowing is a synopsis of that part of
his report dealing with this subject:
Conditions vary widely in the Unit
ed States. Farmers do not equally
need better credit arrangements and
all sections are not similarly circum-
stanced. The report cites the varia-
ton of the interest paid by farmers
on long and short loans as among
states and as among different sections
Of the same area. Among the many
factors entering into these variations
are climatic conditions soil condi-
tions, stability of industry, methods Of
farming, distances from markets, dis
tance from centers Of large wealth. the
nature Of financial agencies through
which capital Is secured.
When all necessary allowance has
been made for these fundamental fac
tors. It Is probably clear that the ru-
raj communities are not as efficiently
served as they should be by existing
financial arrangements. Long time
loans are needed for permanent in
vestments, such as the purchase price
of farm or for the erection Of
buildings 1t is wise economy to en-
courage the extension OF credit for
safe productive use, and no less wise
to discourage the use Of capital along
nonproductive or speculative lines.
The rapid increase In farm values
and the difficulties In securing land
has been given impetus to the growth
OF the renting system. 1t Is this ten
dency that suggest the Importance OF
devising farm loans on terms such az
will enable the producers to make. the
necessary payments on the interest
and principal so far as possible. from
the returns Of the land itself.
The report also discusses short
time loans, building and loan asso-
Citations, land debentures, land mort
gage banks and various other do
nestle and foreign methods of rural
Investment and credit mechanisms
There does not appear to be need for
unique or special legislation or for
legislation which shall aim to give
the farmer credit on easier terms than
