War Issues Heavy.
Commission houses report a curtail-

but'an acceleration Of the growing con-
fidence in the railroad shares. This
they said was reflected today in the
sales of war stocks by customers and the
reinvestment of the proceeds in high
grade railroads. This was also borne out
by the heaviness of the war issues and
the strength of the rails.
Buying of Union Pacific was said to
be from the best sources. On the latent

FOOTBALL SPECIAL TOMORROW
Southern Pacific Will Garry Large
Delegation to Eugene.

After once whitewashing the idea
the general passenger department OF
the Southern Pacific company has no
tilted l. N. Wood that special train
will be operated between Portland
and Eugene tomorrow over the West
Side line. Local football fans who
would be unable to attend the big
game between the University Of Ore
gon and the o. A. C. if they had to
remain in Eugene over night, took the
matter of special train to Mr.. Wood
week or more ago. When the prop
osition was put up to headquarters
at Portland it was announced that
the only special trains would be over
the East Side lines. Mr.. Wood inter
ested other lower valley towns to such
an extent that an inventory has been
taken of football fans at Newberg
and McMinnville and Independence,
these combined with the large atten-
dance that will leave Dallas tomorrow
morning for the big contest, and the
report sent to Portland. The result
is the announcement of a schedule
of a special West Side train. Leav-
ing here in the morning the train will
arrive in Eugene in ample time for
the game, and perhaps a preliminary
frolic, and will leave Eugene soon at
ter the game closes, arriving in Dal-
las at very reasonable hour in the
evening.
Later announcements regarding the
special West Side train say that a
special motor car will connect with
the train at Gerlinger, transferring
Dallas passengers and those from
Falls City and other points on the
route of the motor car. The special
motor leaves here at 1910 in the
morning, and connects at Gerlinger
within a few minutes thereafter. The
special will arrive at the university
campus at l :35, in plenty Of time for
the game, and will leave the campus
after the game at $50. The special
motor car will again meet the special
and convey the fans back to Dallas
and Falls City. The motor will re-
| turn to Dallas about S:15.
