Our Son Bill.

Bill gained the consent of his
mother last Saturday to take his
friend, Hugh Bradley, down town
and set 'em up. Desiring to be a
game sport, like his mother, Bill
took Hugh first to Steve's, where
they took an ice cream cone; from
there they went to Milford's, where
they took another; they then went
over to McMurray's and took an ice
cream soda, from there they went
back to Steve's and took another ice
cream cone. They then went down
to Milford's on the second round,
and made another order for ice
cream cones; at that time friend
Hugh gave out, but his brother JacF
happened in and took his place.

The cost of paint is about two

Paint won't come down in a hur-

road problem it is inevitable the coun-
try will turn to government owner.
ship.
In California the government own
ership idea has taken the form of q
move for the purchase OF the Western
Pacific by the state of California. The
move originated with Rudolph spreck-
les. so it is said. and it has been
strongly advocated by the Hearst pa
pers. particularly the san Francisco
Examiner. Governor Johnson has al
so taken up the move and in company
with others is planning to submit the
issue to the people.
The Western Pacific extends from
Salt Lake to San Francisco and is now
in the hands Of a receiver. 1t is worth
something like SsO.OOO.OOO and as its
bonds are selling at 30 cents on the
dollar It is estimated the road may
be taken over at very low price.
The troubles Of the Western Pacific
were due to the lack of feeder lines
in California. Consequently the road
did not get the business it could
otherwise have obtained. The plan
Of the government ownership advo-
Gates is to extend the line to Los An
geles and thus connect southern Cali
fornia as well as San Francisco with
the line.
With such a railroad in its posses
sion California would be in a very
position from a transporta-
ton standpoint The state would
have publicly owned road connect
ing with various transcontlnental lines
at Salt Lake Consequently competi-
tive service could be secured.
1t is possible there are features in
with the Western Pacific
that would make its purchase inad-
yisable. but the fact California lead
srs are giving the subject serious at.
-ention shows the growth Of the pub
lie ownership spirit.

given at 5S.746. The sworn detailed

The showing means that the Journal

the fact Portland is more than two to
