Denver. Colo. Arril IS. 1916.
An investigation into the feasibiii-
ty and necessity of reqri-ing all rail-
roads in the state to make grade cross
nEs uniformly safe. so far as the nhy-
steal character OF the s,s7s crossings
in the state is concerned. has been
:naueuraied ty the State Public Utili-
ties Commission Every steam and
electric railroad company in the state
has been notified to have representa-
tives present at a hearing on this in
vestigation. to be held at the rooms
OF the Commission in the State Capt.
tol buii.ing at 10 O'Clock A. NJ. siay
10Th.
The plan OF the Commission. as set
, forth in its notice TO the railroad com
,anies. is to require each road to con
struct and maintain at each state
highway grade crossing an uniform ap.
proach OF at least 20 fee. from its
cracks. such approach to be at uni.
torm grade In no instance to excee 1
six per cent; also to place plank.

Dne foot outside of each rail. in order
TO do away with the roughness. com.
monty known as .-Thank-y you-ma- ms. -
at sich crossings. These approaches
must he at least "a foot in width to
give ample room for the passing OF
ehicles in emergency cases.
IL is the belief of the Commission
hat this plan will ohviate the neces.
sity of automobiiists slipping the clut.
ches OF their machines and coasting
across tracks in order to avoid Sc.
rere jolting and wracking OF machine
and occupants. and which often re
suits in engines dying just on the
crossing.
In addition the Commission is con.
templating the preparation of per.
manent record of each grade corssing
in the s,ste, showing the character
of the crossing. the nature of the pro
lection, ii any. afforded by means of
gates. watchmen. sign posts. wig

hicular traffic over the crossing daily.
In this connection. the Commission
has figures showing that the state has
expended upward of $4,000. 100000 on
primary highways in the last three
years. and that the counties have ex-
pended fully as much more. while the
railroads have done little to make
their crossings safer with respect TO
roadways- II every grade crossing
were to be reconstructed in accord
ance with the specifications planned
by the Commission. the cost to the
railroads would be several hundred
thousand OF dollars. However. it is
the ayowed intention of the Commits
sion 20 treat the matter saneiy and
reasonably and TO have the work done
gradually, heginning with the primary
state highway grade crossings and
gradually extending to the crossings
on the secondary highways and then
TO those of the feeders.

upon their reasonahleness.

THE NEWLY ELECTED CHIEF OF POLICE OF City

around his yard the other day.
The who told me this story says he stopped by the
fence and said
GOOD MORNING CHIEF" And THE CHIEF said
"Good Morning Mr.. Blanks"
Then Mr. Blanks said "What you trying to do with
the chicken?"
And the Chief said
81 am Trying to COOPER"
Now while believe the who told this is
LIAR you don't need to tell him, because I'VE ALREADY
TOLD HIM.
But maybe he told me because he knew I'd only been
here a few days and maybe hadn't heard it.
Now Cooper is good name for a city marshal because
TO CATCH CROOKS AND COOP'EM is his business
and if that didn't make him Cooper" what would?
Of course when Mr. Brick (either one of em) was
named knew that cities would be built of such
as they are That don't that all solid citizens in
Salem are Bricks-some of them named STONE
Mr.. WILL sometimes says HE WON'T but that is
chiefly because he has WILL of his own.
One of the most polite and afabe gentlemen have met
is Mr. STIFF and Pm sure who ever passed out the
names guessed wrong.
can understand why Mr.. MOORE is MORE because
he's bigger than folks and because you get More

Mr.. LITTLE should call his grocery "THE GREEN
STORE" unless its because when growing things are
LITTLE they are GREEN.
KNOW MRS. BREWER AIN'T---Shes druggist,
and while Mr.. BISHOP is
MAN OF THE CLOTH he is not in charge of diocese
of churches.
The Sign "WATT SHIP" don't mean "What Boat Do

me in a perfect torrent of words
which frightened me, while but half
understood their import.
"Oh, YOU mustn't do thati You

said I MUST be nice to this man for

that. I am married, and | think Cliff

"But your husband-while a good
business fellow--neglects you--for 9th.

to Clifford.
"'I don't believe i'll" I declared,
knowing all the time that he was
speaking the truth. "Chfford lived
here years before he knew me. It is
nothing strange that he has many

SOME FIGURES ABOUT AUTOS

Registration in the office of the secretary of state
shows that in 1915 there 2 85 automobiles iii the
state. Up to December of this year the number
908 an increase of 1928 during the year or at the rate
of about 30 for each working day. This would indicate
that the number would be increased by the end of the
year by 750 making in round numbers increase for the
year of 10000 These, at average valuation of $3.50
would make the total valuation of the bubble wagons in
the state S30000000 The value Of all public utility prop
ery in the state for the year 1872 which is the last state
ment available at this writing Sill 1916498 These
the figures given by the tax commission This would
make the autos owned in the state worth than
fourth of all public utility property This sum at $4,000
mile would build 1,500 miles of railroad much
there in the state Attention is called to it. not that it
tive JOY wagons but to show what the people could do in
the way of helping themselves if they felt inclined The
invested in railroads would solve the states
transportation probms do away with shortage and
develop the state at rapid rate. Mr. StrahOrn would
connect up all the outlying fringes of the state for
siderable less sum than that. At the same time the
amount spent for gasoline at modest estimate is 25
cents day for each machine and this would amount to-
in the coming year, with its 000O machines, $4,000
day. or more than $3,500000 year. This sum would
soon lace the state with railroads in all directions.
Of course auto not looking for chance to
swap autos for railroads. but said attention is
called to it Just to show how easily the money could be
provided for Oregon railroad system should the peo
pie determine one and ALL to build them Every railroad
built in the state has been constructed with outside
capital except perhaps the old O. R. N for which
siderable Portland money was subscribed, and yet we
have the money to do the work.
