ton will be so pronounced
that the public will never con-
sent to a return to old conditi-
ons, nor will railroad stock
holders desire to restore pri-
vate management.
On the assumption that gov
ernment operation Of the rail
roads will be permanent some
deductions may be made that
will highly interest the people
of Pendleton and other interior
points. First, the time will
come, eventually if not quickly,
when rates will be adjusted on
a basis of equity, rather than
with a view to meeting compe-
tition or to building up certain
cities. The cost of service will
be the yardstick by which rates
will be determined. 1t will
mean that terminal rates must
go, this regardless of water
competition. The government
will say that if freight can be
hauled cheaper by water than
by rail it should be hauled by
water, not by rail. There will
be an end to a system under
which the interior has paid eX-
eessive rates i'm order that ter
minal coast cities might have
lower rates. Pendleton and
other inland cities will have Il
fair deal on the transportation
question. 1t will mean the
building up of manufacturing
and jobbing establishments at
points where previously it has
been difficult to maintain such
industry and business.
There is hope for Pehdleton
in the situation. Our people
should prepare for a close
study of the possibilities that
will be opened and should
make ready to use the well
known brand of Pendleton en-
ergy towards the realization of
those opportunities.

of mining properties be malll-
tanned and continued.
1t is an economic waste, how
ever, to develop under present
conditions new mines which
can not be made to operate at
a reasonable profit when nor
NAL conditions are restored.
The Fuel Administration rec
ognizes the fact that develop
ment cost is greater at the pres
ent time than prior to the be-
ginning of the war, and, IN
reclassifying mines under the
Presidents prices it will take
into consideration this present
abnormal cost. Persons con-
templating the development Of
mining properties should bear
in mind the fact that it is not
the intention of the Fuel Adj
ministration to grant special
prices for coal produced in
new mines, which prices are in
excess of the government pri-
ces, merely because of the fact
that these operations are new.
New developments should be
made on such d basis that coal
therefrom may be
sold. i'll normal times, at a
profit, and sold at present at
the government prices or less.
An order was issued by the
United States Fuel Administra-
tor on November %, 1917, re-
lating to new mines, which has
apparently caused considerable
misunderstanding as to the
policy of the administration on
this question. In view of that

One universal prayer;
Teach us-all other teachings

To hide dark Hate beneath the
wings of Love,
To slaY all hatred, strife,
And live tho larger life,
To bind the wounds that bleed
TO lift the fallen, lead the blind.
AS only love can lead
To live for all mankind,
Teach US, New Year. to be
Free men among the free,
Our only master, Duty, with no Z

Gotfredson, in accepting his new

previous one.
THE prospects for the coming
year are very bright. They are SO
substantial. in fact, that we are

Rather than retrenching, we are

which the Saxon company is going to
operate in the future. The factory. It
