'I believe that the triumphant suc-

The old salts down at Los Angeles
Harbor, who have sailed the Seven
Seas and then some, are discussing a
yarn that was related by members Of
the crew of the Viz Four, fishing
smack. on their arrival here from near
Santa Rosa Flats.
"Oh, by gee! by gum. by gosh!" en-
claimed the ancient mariners, when
the fishermen told this tale
That when the Viz Four left Santa
Rosa strange creature was noticed
floating about the ship. 1t was about
eight feet long: weighed at least 500
pounds; had bulging eyes and blond
hair One of the crew wanted to ge
rifle to fire on the sea giant but th'
skipper demurred. and, after swim
ming about a little while longer, th'
creature sank beneath the waves.
"Ill admit I've seen some quee
things in my time" said one salt, "bt

things happen in California and aloni

AS STRIKE SOLUTION

Attention of the members of the
Pendleton Commercial association, as
sembled at the weekly forum ll.ach-
con today was turned from local is
sues to consideration of national
problem--the threatened railroad
strike. James A. Fee, Jr., served as
chairman of the eetinmg and the
principal talk was by Judge S. A
Lowell who spoke in favor of state
control of railroads in lieu of opera
tion of roads through officers located
in New York.
Arthur A. Murphy, of the o. w. r,
& N, Co. legal department was called
iapon for an impromptu talk and COM
plimented Pendleton'ans on the inter-
est displayed in Commercial associa-
tion work. Mr.. Murphy did not dis.
cuss the strike situation other than to
comment upon the fact that the
Union Pacific system is one of the
last against which the strike order ap-
plies, condition indicating good re-
lationship between the company and
llH tillplpNtS,
Judge Lowell said in part:
Every thoughtful person is Justly
alarmed at this junction because OF
the threat of strike of the railroad
employees. The delicate ensinry of
business is already in partial paraly-
SIS Merchants are not buying goods
because of uncertainty of delivery
Factor es are hedging because the Sc
curing of supplies of raw material is
doubtful. People are not travelling
long distances because of the uncer-
tainty of ability to return to. their
homes, The market for staples, like
wheat, is dead.
There Is here and there an optmlst
who deludes himself in the belief that
the automobile and the truck will
meet the emergency, or that there are
enough non-union railroad men to run
the trains and to keep the engines in
order. There is slight ground for eth
