L has been eight years since Ty

is an entry who worked with Cobb

about to pop into one with Ty up

World Series Veterans.
In responding TO the query Of a
citizen and taxpayer seeking informa-
tIon, the facts seem TO be about this:
The White Sox have only one man.
Eddie Collins-who ever participated
in a world series before.
The Giants have Tesreau, Burns.
Fletcher, Herzog and Zimmerman as
world series veterans.
The Red SoX are all world series
veterans, having won championships
for two years back.
A Rugged Blow for J. Barry.
II the Red Sox are finally suppressed
this will bring a rugged blow TO Jack
Barry.
Jack has had a hard time OF II in a
world series way. So far he has only
been in six Of them-four with Phil
adelphia and two with Boston. His
increment thereof has been about
SlS.o00.
When you get the habit such as
that, any sudden swapping brings a
Jolt. Barry has been OF the payroll
OF but one world series since 1873.
He collected in 1910. 1911, 1913, 1874

Oregon's good roads campaign nae
been launched. The Legislature
Committee of Eight, three senators
and five representatives, has taker
charge. Contributions of $40 eacl
were made by all members of thr
committee and the formal redueg'
was made of the press of the state
that subscription lists be opened in
their columns for the collection OF
funds for the county and state cam
paigns. The only restriction as t..
subscriptions was that none from
paving companies may be accepted
All subscriptions made for the STATE
campaign are to be RENTED to Sena-
tor +. d. Cusick, treasurer of the leg
islature committee at Albany, Ore
gon., County campaign subscriptions
are to be handled entirely by the To-
cal organizations.
1t was the sense of the committee
that organization of county cam
paigns be left entirely in the hands
OF the several counties, and that the
sole function of the state headquar-
Lers is to be the dissemination of
such literature, information, adver-
Using and other service as may be
required by the county organizations.
rhe state headquarters also will CO.
operate in securing speakers for To-
,al meetings to discuss the bonding
bill. There are many excellent
speakers in the different counties
who are we'll versed in the provi-
,ions Of the bill and discuss same alb
y, and the services of such win be
enlisted to visit neighboring counties
heir expenses to be paid from the
state campaign fund.
To unite all the counties in the
state campaign, convention of sup
oorters of the bond issue has been
,alled to meet in Portland, Satur-
lay, April Z. Meanwhile, the Legis-
ative Committee will take charge of
he state headquarters, the imme-
late work to be under the supervi-
ion of an executive committee con-

son. In irrigated conditions, the de-
moustrations showed the Shadeland
Climax variety to be the best suited
for Klamath County.
Another typical demonstration is
that reported by Mr.. Howard in Nal
heur County, under whose direction
$4,000 worth of pork per acre was
produced on field peas grown in an
orchard that had previously been
clean titled. Hundreds of acres of
orchard land in the county are sus-
ceptible to the same practice al
though such remarkable results
could not be expected as rule.
MIR, Gates demonstrations to the
Rogue River orchardists in the sig
nifanee of fire blight on tree roots
as source of twig infection and the
alfalfa variety demonstrations of
several agents, are other examples.
All told, 1852 acres of corn, 1850
acres of wheat, 5000 acres of oats,
SIS acres of potatoes, $50 acres of
field peas have been included in de-
of variety, cultural
practice or seed treatment with mate
rial in yield above the average in the
majority of cases.

Operatives and Owners,


Men who think loosely and form
opinions without regard to basic
facts are heard to say that the pre-
sent grave labor dispute is between
group of 100000 trainmen and
Wall Street," the popular metaphor
for capital repres snted in billions.
Wall street does not own the rail-
roads of the United States. True,
the New York Stock exchange plays
football with railroad and other
stocks six days in the week, but it
does not own railroad property.
1t will perhaps surprise the aver
age reader to know that the number
of shareholders in American rail-
roads exceeds 100000. Returns to
the bureau of American railway sta
tistics show that on June 80, 1914,
there were 456,231 shareholders.
The increase in numbers from 1904
to 1914 was 146 per cent, each sue
cessive year showing like gain. At
this rate, shareholders probably num-
Der now more than 100000. Aver
age holdings are not large. For in
stance, the Pennsylvania railroad
company had 91,50O stockholders, As
per cent of whom were women. The
average holding was 100 shares. Ave-
rage holdings per shareholder in the
United States are about $50 shares.
1t is generally estimated that rail-
way bonds are more widely distri-
buted than stocks, but reliable statis-
tics are not availeble. Railway
bonds are largely held by trustees
including banks, saving banks, trust
companies, life and insurance COM
panies, educational and benevolent
institutions. Thus indirect owner
ship runs into the millions. 1t is es
timated that the institutions Mem
TONED hold about $4,000, 100000 of
these securities.
Whenever any legislation is under
taken which adversely affects the re
renne of railroads. it directly affects
he income from the savings of seve-
81 million people. Only small!
percentage Of them could be classif-
d as rich. The late James J. Hill |
'5r instance. was considered the |
,chest railroad owner in the United |
"ates, yet he owned less than per
'ant Of the Great Northern Properties |
nd the total number of sharehold- |
rs in his company at the date of |
he latest available report was 90
523.
In the present labor dispute the
'ailway managers represent the in.
+erests of the millions who have in
1ested their savings into institutions
which are large holders of railway
So in the weighing of
he rights and wrongs as between la
)or and capital, it is well to bear
n mind, in this case, that capital is
lot confined to wall Street" but
s also distributed among a great
multitude Of people all over the land
whose industry and thrift enabled
hem to create savings which are in
ested in railway securities. Port

HEPPNER FURNISHES
RECRUITS FOR NAVY
Three Local Boys Left This Week For
Portland Where They VIII En-.
list FOR Training ON War
Ships.

Threee Heppner boys, Harry and
Charles Groshens, sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Victor Grcshens, and Elmer
Presley left Wednesday for Portland
having enlisted for duty in the Unit
ed States navy.
The boys have signed up for four
years of this work and at the expira-
ZION of their time in the service thev
will be a finished product of Uncle
Sans fighting force on the high seas.
Moreover, from present indications,
the boys may have the opportunity
of participating in some actual fight
ing before many months.
The boys were encouraged to en-
list by Vic Groshens, who, although
being naturalized citizen of this
country. is true patriotic citizen.
Mr.. Groshens received army training
in France before coming to the Unit
ed States and he realizes that this
training is invaluable to the young
man.
This action on the part of these
boys will undoubtedly act as stimu-
liant to recruiting and many more
young men will probably sign up for
military service. In fact number
have signified their intentions and
especially if there should be an early
declaration of war.

RESERVE OFFICERS ARE
WANTED BY WAR DEPT
Business and Industrial Officials,
As Well As Trained Soldiers,
In Demand.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, March. 21-The U. S. War
Department wants trained men for
reserves officers in the event war,
and many of these same trained
men may be equally desirous of as
certaining their status should they
be called to arms. Every qualified
man can have his status fixed by
taking an examination for the posi-
tion which he is best qualified to fill.
This examination can be taken be-
fore Col. V. A. Colwell, commandant
Of the o. A. c. Cadet regiment, and
Lieut.. r. D. Johnson. who have been
appointed examining officers by the
War Department Men proficient in
any of the following lines are eligible
if not over age limit, to take the ex-
aminations:
Army service, either with the U.
S. Army of National Guards, graudu-
ates of institutions with prescribed
military training. such as the Oregon
Agricultural College. whose gradu-
ates are particularly desired; rail-
way managers, superintendents of
large supply and warehouse con-
Germs, animal buyers. wholesale mer-
chandise managers, and other highly
trained specialists in similar lines;
mechanical, mining, and electrical
engineer; physicians, surgeons and
dentists.
REQUESTS for application blanks
should be sent to Col. Colwell, Cor
vallis, Ore. When these blanks
have been filled and returned, appli-
cants will be notified of the time to
appear for examination. All who
pass successfully will be entitled to
commissions in the regular army, eff
fective for a five-year period, with
rights of renewal. Then, should
the call to the colors be sounded each
reserve officer will, when called know
precisely what his status and duties
are, each in position to serve his
country best in the capacity to which
he is best suited.
