On Friday, March q, he citizens
oil that valley held monster mass
meeting at the Ottison ranch, which
is located % miles north of the line.
1t was finally decided that the people
OF the valley should petition the
Canadian government to aid them in
building the road, and if this could
not be done, the people would raise
the money themselves to build the
read with. 1t was estimated that
there are 600 families in the White
Mud valley, and that if each Of them
paid in S606 they would have suf-
ficient funds to finance theproject

UNPRECEDENTED BUSINESS
RESPONSIBLE FOR BIGGEST
CAR SHORTAGE IN HISTORY

Unprecedented freight business is
now being experienced by the O.-W
X. 4 n. Co. and is creating a seri.
GUS car shortage, according to II, C.
Oliver, travelling freight and passen,
ger agent who is here today.
As an evidence of the volume of
business being done by the company
Mr. Oliver states that five new road
engines have been placed on the Pen
dleton Huntington division in the
past two weeks and new switch en-
gine has been added 10 the equipment
at Rieth, This makes two day en-
gines and two night engines in selN
ice at Rieth whereas there never at
any time was more than three in SER
vice at Umatilla.
Mr.. Oliver declares that the car
shortage, which is the greatest ever
known in the country. is already be-
ginning to be felt in eastern oregon,
and he expects the situation to be-
come worse before long. Therefore
he is advising farmers and grain buy
ers to prepare for storing their grain
until equipment can be secured for
moving it.
The fact that all grain is being
shipped across the continent by rail
instead of going by water is one fac
tor making for the shortage, he says,
while the revival of the lumber bus.
iness is another factor. There are
heavy shipments Of horses, too, and
by the first of the month the ship
ment of sheep will begin. Already
there is a shortage OF stock cars.
I'VE receive no cars out west ex-
cept what are brought here loaded,
he said this morning. mo empties
are brought out here, 1t takes on the
average 80 days for a freight car to
20 to Chicago and back, so you can
understand how long II takes to go

CARL ACKERMAN.)

STRAUSBERG, Germany, Aug IS
General Alexander Won Kluk told
the United Press that the allies had
failed even to bend German lines dur.
ing their eight weeks offensive.
Kluck commanded the German
right wing during its advance to the
Paris gates He retired on account
of wounds Kluck met me in the
smoking room at Wilkendorf Castle.
He said: In eight weeks of fighting
the allies have gained a few kilo-
meters at terrible losses. The Eng
lish have accomplished practically
nothing. They have only exposed
themselves to our counter attacks,
which will certainly come. The Eng
lish losses are terrible They are
much greater than ours as the Eng
lish put new men into every attack
Their losses must exceed ours by
hundred thousand" He expressed
surprise at the great number of Brit
ish volunteers He said Kitchener's
efforts We're responsible.

In past years when grain was ship
ped to the Pacific coast, the distances
were so short that one car could be
used Is times TO where it is used

for shortage is that the most of the
grain going east is shipped in bulk,
thus requiring No, / boxcars. In
past years sacked wheat has been
shipped in stock and coal cars to re-
lieve the shortage
Mr. oliver urges that shippers and
oonsignees cooperate with the roads
