Places Blame for
Shortage of Cars

seven months through the Port
land interchange.
"The Pacific system has moved
into Oregon from March 1 to date
16,7O4 empty cars in an attempt
to fulfill its obligation to ship
pers in that state.
Even though 1t be considered
that Southern Pacific lines should
move empties into Oregon to the
extent necessary to make up the
deficit caused by the failure of
Northern lines to equalize the in
terchange at Portland, the fact re-
mains that owing to physical char
acteristics OF the line reaching into
Oregon from CALIFORNIA; single
track line having a 3.2 per cent
grade over. the Siskiyou noun
tains-enough cars cannot be
moved through the Ashland gate
way in a given length of time to
accomplish the above result.
Therefore as long as failure on
the part Of other lines to equalize
interchange continues there is
bound to be a continuous car
shortage in Oregon despite every
effort OF the Southern Pacific
lines south of Ashland to main
tain the supply.

OLD SWINDLE Is

land for years is flourishing again
Reports of the victimization ol
shopkeepers at ports have been
reaching the American embassy

Gently.
A ticket seller at one of the biz
London railway stations gave a
Swiss waiter IL English pounds
for a $50 Confederate note but
became suspicious before the wal
ter had, gone far and had him de-
tanned. The police were in a di-
lemma as they could not distin-
guish the note from good Ameri-
can money and FINELY had to ap-
peal to the American embassy.
The Swiss said he obtained the
note frorf an American but de-
clined to say how much the trans
action cost him. The police be-
lieved his story that he had acted
in good faith with the ticket sell
lef.
The police say this swindls runs
in waves, cropping up every few
years but that at present it is be-
ing perpetuated on a larger scale

WILL CALL EXPERT
TO VIEW CANYON

Plans and discussions on the
water question occupied TIE great
er part of the meeting of the city
council at its adjourned session
last night. No time will be vast D.,
ed in arranging for the increase
of the water supply, and the city
officials will start proceedings i'm
mediately, and carry matters on
towards the erection OF a reser-
voir up Ashland canyon as far as
will be possible this fall
Following the suggestion made
by Engineer +, II. Walker that an
expert engineer be secured to go
over the territory of the canyon
where a new reservoir will be To-
Gated so that the public may be
satisfied that the best and safest
location will be chosen, the coun-
Gil authorized the city engineer
to call an expert engineer and
consult with him in the matter.
This will be attended to at once.
it was stated, 50 the engineers
can look over the canyon this fall.
The feasibility OF piping the
mountain and affiXing sprays in
order to form ice in the winter
to increase the water supply has
been advocated by number OF
citizens, and in order to expert
ment on this proposition the wa
ter superintendent and city en-
gineer were given instructions to
procure sufficient pipes and
sprays to try out the project this
winter. 1t is contended by many
hat this procedure will greatly
Increase the water supply at
much less expense than an addi-
ional reservoir and dam, and it
will be tried out thoroughly.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
II. X. SUNSET GULF
ROUTE REOPENED

After being embargoed since
last March, due to labor trouble
on the New York piers, the South
ern Pacific Steamship company
Morgan Line, has re-established
regular sailings every Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday, from
New York to Galveston, with cor
responding regular sailings in op-
posite direction. This means that
the Southern Pacific Railroad
company has re-established its
Sunset Gulf Route between the
Pacific Coast and the Atlantic
Seaboard, and that traffic can
now be handled in both directions
on pre-war schedule.
The return of this rail-and-
water service between the Allan
tic seaboard and the Pacific
Northwest means a great saving
in time to the shipping public, as
traffic does not have to pass
through the congested terminals
as does the all-rail service.
All pmharpoes n apainat tha Nov
gan line at New York from the
interior have been raised on less
than carload business and carriers
promptly issue permits on car
loads. The permit requirement
in connection with Morgan line
will soon be a thing of the past,
and all traffic will be moving
without delay.

Ashland Methodists will be re-
joiced to learn that Rev. G. A. Ed
wards will again be pastor OF the
local church, according to the ap-
pointments of ministers made by
Bishop Shepard at the recent ses-
sion of the annual conference held

The charges of Jacksonville and
Applegate are to be supplied, as
also is Central Point.
The annual conference will be
held next year at Forest Grove.
The number of districts in the

HUBER EXPECTS
TO FINISH PAVING

"I'll have the pavement all laid

Huber, contractor. who is in town
for few days. Mr.. Huber has
the last section on the southern
end Of the Pacific highway. He
is paving over the Siskiyou hump
and is working down into the val
ley toward Ashland. There are
20 miles to be paved. When this
section is finished there Will be
an uninterrupted stretch of hard
surface pavement from the Cal
ifOrnia line to Gold Hill. At pres
ent Mr.. Huber is hustling to get
as much accomplished as posi-
Bile before the snow begins to fly.
Recently he had to shut down his
plant because a forest fire in the
reserve on the California side
burned the poles carrying his
power line.-The 0TegoRian.

HARVEST DELAYED by RAINS

The last weekly summary Of
crop conditions in Oregon to be
issued this season by the weather
bureau says;
The weather was generally
cloudy, with frequent rain. over
Il considerable part Of the state the
rainfall was heavy The tempera-
ture was generally rather low. but
cloudy weather prevented the oc-
currence of frost except in some
central and eastern localities.
Heavy snow fell IN tile higher
mountains. Roads We're muddy
Threshing was stopped by the
rain, and there Is still some wheat
uncut. Considerable injury was
done to this wheat and to some
that is in the shock Seeding OF
winter wheat on summer falloW
land has proceeded satisfactorily
east of the Cascades and some
plowing and seeding have been
done in western counties. The
soil is amply moist in most loCali-
ties, and in some places is too wet
to be worked. Cutting of corn for
ensilage Is we'll under way.
The continued wet weather has
delayed picking of all fruit and
has caused serious damage to the
prune crop in the Willamette val
ley. In southern counties the loss
has not been great, though dry
ing has been retarded. Picking
Of apples will be general with the
coming Of fair weather
Haying was delayed by rain,
some hay was injured and some
clover seed was spelled. Pastur-
lge is generally good and stock
$ gaining.
Potato digging is well under
way where the soil is not too wet.
Some potatoes have begun a sec
md growth since the rain begun.
md there is a little complaint of
potatoes rotting in the ground.
Iop picking is complete except in
