A Business as an
Inheritance

Men who devote their
lives to creating a sue
cessful business, neglect
ing meanwhile to create
also an estate separate
thereform, often 60 out
of the world leaving an
inheritance of doubtful
value to their families.
There may not be heirs
qualified to succeed in
the management; with
out its founder or moy-
ing spirit the success of
the business may wane;
successors in control
may.not prove capable;
obligations may exist
which will strain the
finances. If desirable
for the estate to sell out,
it may be difficult to find
a buyer.
A "going business"
then, does not always
prove the best kind of an
inheritance.
But an independent
estate, such as you may
create or enlarge under
the Equitable Trust
Plan" can be transmitted
to heirs and continued
for their benefit indef-
nitely. 1t will be as good
an asset after your death
as while you live.
Investigate this admir-
able plan. Come in and
talk to our Trust Officer
about it. Read our book
let which describes it
fully.

The Railroad H. G. L.
(From Railway Age.)

A locomotive which in 1914 cost
s27,S76 will now cost $75,750, an
increase of III per cent. In 1914
a railway had to pay only about 5
per cent interest on the money inves-
ted in a locomotive, while now it
must pay about 7 IL per cent. There
fore, it's interest charges on a locomo-
tive bought six years ago were ST.
394 a year, while on a locomotive
bought now they will be about S.
681 a year, an increase in fixed
charges of 80 per cent.
An average box car bought in
1914 cost about $1,000, while now
it would cost about $4,000, an in
crease of 200 per cent. The interest
on the investment in the car in 1914
would have been about $50 a year,
while now it would cost about $225
a year, an increase of $50 per cent.
The foregoing statistics illustrate
the advances which have occurred in
the prices Of equipment and In the
interest that must be paid on the in
ves,ment in it. The increases in the
cost of constructing track and bridges
have not been so great but they have

Umatilla County Sheriff Sends
Thanks and Appreciation

The following letter has been re-
ceived by the Gazette-Times from
Sheriff w. r. Taylor of Umatilla
county:
Pendleton, Ore, Aug. A., 1920.
To the Editor:
l desire to express through your
paper my appreciation of the great
effort and effective assistance render
ed by the friends of Sheriff Til Tay-
lor in returning the murderers to
jail. l want to thank everyone, es-
pecially those who took the more
humble parts, standing watch upon
the roads and at the stations, and
the people Of Umatilla county have
my deep gratitude for their forbear-
ance and good citizenship during the
trying hours when the murderers
were first returned to Jail.
Respectfully,
W. r. TAYLOR, Sheriff.

cost $15,117, an increase of 1875 per
cent. These figures are based upon
records of the actual expenditures
of a certain road. In 1915 this road
paid $12,550 per mile for merely the
rail track fastenings. ties and bal
last used in the construction of a
new main track. The same mater
ials would now cost s26,234, an in
crease Of ITO per cent. For like
classes of materials used in building
a mile Of side track, including two
main track %turnouts, this road in
1915 paid $500. The same mater
ials would now cost $1,000, an in
crease of SO per cent.
One important Of the in
rease in railway expenses is the
advance in the prices of all commodi-
ties and therefore in the amounts
that the railways have to pay for loss
and damage to freight. A carload
Of apples in 1909 was worth $500.
while today it is worth $4,000, an in
crease Of 1855 per cent. In 1909 the
freight revenue ON a carload of ap-
Piles from Yakima, Wash, to St. Paul
vas $255, while today it is ~s319.50,
an increase of only 25 per cent. II
a railroad paid a claim for the COM
plete loss of a carload of apples in
1909, it took the freight evenue
from three and a half carloads Of APP
pies, while now it would take the
freight revenue from seven carloads.
A certain railway recently was pre-
sented a claim for SASH for the loss
of a carload of beef. The high value
Of the beef was of course principally
due to the increases in prices within
recent years. The freight earnings
from the shipment were s113.4O.
Therefore, il the railway has to pay
the entire claim it will take the rev.
enue from forty similar carloads Of
freight-an entire trainload.
There is hardly a branch of rail-
road operation in which unit costs
have not increased 100 to 800 per
cent within the last five years.
