Freight Congestion
Keeps Yards Full

w. 3. Kirkland, trainmaster of the
Shasta division, has been in the city
the past few days working on the
problem of relieving freight conges-
tion. Unprecedented freight traffic
is creating a myriad Of problems for
the men who have to keep the tralns
moving. Often of late the Ashland
yards have been cram full ana
freights waiting at Talent to get into
the yards. One day recently nine
four-engine freights got out OF Ash
land southbound. There is some talk
of adding two more helper crews to
run out OF here.
Train 13 was delayed about half
an hour Tuesday morning by the de-
railment of two freight cars about
mile below the city. A broken wheel
was the cause of the trouble. the
wrecker from the local yards cleared
up the trouble.

A variety Of matters Of city busi-
ness, minor and major, occupied the
city council at Tuesdays meeting.
Discussion of the junk ordinance oc-
cupied the greater portion of the
evening. all other business going
smoothly.
Electric Matter Untangled.
A tangle over the matter of fur
nishing electric service to the new
bungalow which is being constructed
by Miss Grace Chamberlain on Over
look Heights was Strengthened out
satisfactorily at Tuesdays council
meeting. Owing to the fact that the
city's lease of the California Oregon
Power Company's lines in the city eX-
pires at the end of two years and
that there is 4 possibility of the con-
tract not being renewed, there exist
ed a doubt as to whether line con-
structed from the end of one OF the
company lines-the nearest connec-
ton point-would pay out. A salts
factory arrangement, Incorporating a
change in the terms in case new line
was not necessary, was arrived at.
Miss Chamberlain intends to do the
heating. lighting and cooking exclu-
sively by electricity, and has agreed
to use at least 500 worth per year,
exclusive of current used for heating,
the minimum to be reduced later Il
the status of the C. o. p Co. remains
unchanged.
Use Of Polls.
The free use of the polling places
of the city was granted to the gov
ernment for the one day of registra-
tion of draft eligibles. The city ordi-
narily has to rent some of the polling
places. but will enedavor to secure
free use of all for this day, appealing
to the patriotism Of the owners.
Special Meeting For Sewers.
A special meeting of the council
will be held on May 20 to take pre-
liminary steps in providing sewers on
Lincoln and Maple streets. The
council extracted much merriment
out of tie vote on the matter of an
adjourned meeting, Mayor Lamkin
was called on to decide tie vote,
and made a martyr of himself to civic
duty by deciding that the extra meet
ing should be held.
Chautauqua Comfort Stations.
The council has authorized the
construction Of comfort stations IN
the Chautauqua building to replace
those which will be removed when the
old white shack in the lower park IS

Governor Talks.
Governor Withycombe wasInext in
troduced and declared his apprecia-
tion of the reception accorded him
and of his opportunity to again visit
the Rogue River valley, which he re-
garded as zone of the garden spots of
this earth. blessed with the three
things which go to make human hap
piness and material prosperity-fer-
tile land, ideal climate and highly in
telligent citizenship" The governor
laid claim to the distinction of hav-
ing been the first to designate the
Rogue River valley the Switzerland
of America" a phrase which has be-
come synonymous with Rogue River
valley.
War More Serious Than Realized.
Mr.. Withycombe then dwelt briefly
on the country's war status and made
an appeal to the citizenship of Oregon
to realize the seriousness of the great
est of all world wars in which this
country is now engaged. He re-
marked his high regard for German
efficiency, a regard which had been
fostered by his study of German
methods during his connection with
agricultural extension work several
years ago, and expressed his belief
that this country did not realize
what it is up against" He said:
81 believe that within one year the
United States will have million men
fighting in Europe; the stupendous
size and possibilities of this conflict
are not realized by the American peo-
ple."
"If we lose this war;" he continued,
"this country will become vassal to
Germany and will be the first to be
levied upon because of our immense
wealth"
Mr.. Withycombe called attention
To the fact that Oregon ranked WIN
the first in recruiting, in Honor
Cuard, Red Cross, Y. M. G. A. and
like work, and urged that every ore-
gonian do their part in efficientiy
mobilizing every resource OF this
state in order that this state may con-
tinue to rank first in preparedness
measures.
The governor then called attention
70 the prominent part which gooo
roads have played in military opera
tions in Europe, attributing the
French repulse to the Parisward IN
vasion of the Germans to the excel
lent highway system of France ne
urged that the possibility OF an In
vasion of America be taken not TOO
lightly. and proclaimed the necessity

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Bombay, Oct. 16.-The escape of
Harvey Walker from the county Jail
was reported yesterday. Walker,
who enlisted in the army last May,
while home on a furlough in August,
was arrested on a charge of cattle
stealing. Following conviction at the
September term of court, he was
granted a new trial, to be held in
January. Being the only prisoner

dom of the corridor during the day
time and confined to cell at night.

sence of both Sheriff Andrews and
Chief Deputy Johnson on official bus
mess, Walker was not locked in his
cell Sunday night and made his
escape by cutting the window bars
with hack saw. A note addressed
to Sheriff Andrews was tackled to the
wall which stated that Walker had
broke jail to return to the army and

COLLIDE;
ONE TURNING OVER

A narrow escape of two ladies occu-
pying aero car No. IA featured
rather peculiar accident, at 2:4o
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when
car No. 8, driven by A. Friedman,
collided with the other vehicle, occu-
pied by Mrs. Captain Richardson
and lady friend. No. Il was COM
pletely overturned, and the lady &C
companying Capt. Richardson's wife
was slightly hurt. That both were
not more or less seriously injured is
regarded as rather miraculous.
Just who was to blame for the
crash the police were last night un-
able to make out, but there were no
arrests. Motorcycle Officer Harper
was detailed to investigate the affair,
and he reported up to late hour last
night that the accident was in the I'M
avoidable class, and it was probably
the result of misunderstanding of
signals given by the operator of
each car.

STEAMER WASP is
ON EVEN KEEL AGAIN

After more than a week of very
hard work, tugs and a visiting steam
er yesterday succeeded in overturning
the steamer Wasp, which suffered in
the late storm. After considerable
effort had been expended in trying
TO right the overturned steamer at
an anchorage in the mid-harbor, it
was found that some OBSTACLE was
encountered and the hulk was towed
across the bay where the water was
deeper and where the operations
would be outside the shipping area
and also be free from the menace of
ship movements. 1t did not take
long to place the Wasp on an even
keel once the tugs rugged up their
salvage equipment.
