FORECASTS ELECTRIFICATION
OF THE OREGON SHORT LINE

A forecast that the Oregon Short
Line may be electrified before long
is suggested in a recent statement
by Guy E. Trip, chairman of the
board Of directors of the Westing-
house company. He leads up to his
conclusion, that the ultimate relief
for railroads running thru territory
where electrical energy is available
is Identification, with a statement Of
the handicaps suffered by the trans
portation companies due to increased
wage costs, granted by official bodies
and other costs considerations, all
Of which have SO reduced railroad
earnings to to render their securities
unattractive, in view of the fact that
increased rates, also officially auth
orized, have not met the increased
costs.
The result has been inability to
secure capital for extensions and
betterments absolutely needed in the
interest of the public. Rate in
creases have furnished no relief IN
that direction. having been more
than absorbed in advance.
The piling up of expenses in wages,
etc., and meeting it with wage in
creases constitutes a pyramid that
will in the end collapse to the
detriment of the public. That is the
railroad position. 1t does not favor
rate increases that are avoidable be-
cause it reduces tonnage. But it
must make a showing Of earnings in
order to secure necessary capital.
The pyramid process being undesir-
able from both the standpoint Of the
railroad and the public the alterna-
tive is to cut costs, and the electri-
fication plan seems to offer broad
opportunity.
1t has been truly said that the
history of civilization is the history
of transportation. Railroads form
our basic industry. Their interests
are inso1ubly associated with those of
the public.

DEFECTIVE BOLTS RE-
VEAL GERMAN PLOT

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-A German
war plot that failed was revealed
today.
Four defective bolts, taken from
the machinery of the transport
Mount Vernon, told the tale. They
were discovered by engineering
forces of Commander r. D. Gatewood
director of the shipping boards
division of construction and repairs
and placed on exhibition at his office
After the Mount vernon-form-
erly the Kronprinzessen Cecile, the
famous "gold ship" that raced into
Bar harbor in the early days of the
war-had been seized as a trophy,
her German crew cut two-thirds of
the way thru the four six-inch bolts
that connected the engines with the
main crankshaft. The skillfully
made cuts remained hidden by the
fittings of the engines and were dis
covered only recently when the
engines were taken apart.
1t is believed the bolts were left
barely holding with the hope that the
craft would creep into U-boat lanes
and fall prey to the undersea craft
when a strain ON the engines came
with an order for full speed ahead.
But luck or toughness of steel per-
mitted the liner to make a dozen
round trips thru submarine-infested
seas, carrying from 5000 to 1000
men. Just to round things out, she
encircled the globe to bring troops
home from Russia.
The Mount Vernon had several
narrow escapes. Once she was tor
pedoed and thirty-five of her crew
killed.

YOungP Peoples Society
TO Be Organized

In response to continued de-
mands from the yon g people of
the church and many from the
community, Il meeting has been
called for Sunday evening at $50,
in the lecture room of the Metho-
dist church, for ths purpose of or
ganizing young peoples society.
1t will probably work under the
nams of the Epworth League, hnt
the final name of the organization
will not be determined until after
the meeting Sunday evening.
This action comes as the result
Of insistent demands on the part
of the young people for a part in
the church which they can call
their very own. and also due to the
fact that very few of their number
are now engaged in work in or are
members of society distinctly
managed and carried on by4young
people.
1t is expected that this type of
organization will he very success
full, as it has the hearty commen.
dation of practically all of the
church people and many others in
the town who are much interested
Its success is further assured due
to the fact it will be open to all
young people as their own organi-
zation.

TEXAS RED CROSS
READY FOR FLOOD
Chapters Near Stricken District
Send Aid Inside Twelve
Hours.

The Southwestern Division, 30 ex-
ceptionally hard-hit these last three
years by disaster Of various kinds, had
a fine exhibition of chapter prepared
ness in the recent Central Texas flood,
according to Information given out att
the headquarters Of the Southwestern
Division at st. Louis.
When the Brazos River started ris-
Ing and floods seemed Imminent, the
Division Disaster Relief Director was,
notified and as soon as 1t was found
necessary to send relief, a night let,
fer was sent to chapters in the vicin-
ity of the flooded district but outside
of the food area. The call asked for
clothing principally, and in less than;
seven hours in one case and twelve
hours in others, supplies were on their
way.
Dallas replied at p. m. following
the call received In the morning, that
clothing had been shipped. Waco not
only responded to the first request,
but sent second supply Of clothing
Houston sent ,Ss3 garments which had
been cleaned and steriiized. Other
towns in the adjacent territory sent
more than their quota within the next
two days, and the result was that by
the time a sufficient degree Of order
had been created to look after the
the stricken inhabitants of the flooded
area. there were supplies on hand suf-
ficient to meet all the needs Of the
situation.
A feature Of this wonderfully ready
response. It is stated, was that all the
garments sent were usuable and were

the chapters sending them considered

FIFTH ANNUAL ROLL GALL !.
BEGINS ARM|sT|cE DAY
American Red Cross to Enroll
Members Throughout Nation
November IL to "a:

The American Red Cross will con-
duct its Fifth Annual Roll Call thisl
year beginning on Armistice Day.
November IL, and ending the eve OF
Thanksgiving Day. National head
quarters in Washington, division head
quarters in the eight divisions of the'
Red Cross. and headquarters of each
OF the more than 1000 chapters, are
busily engaged on their Roll Call pro-
gram, according to information given
out at local Red Cross headquarters.
The effort will be to re-enroll every,
present member of the Red Cross and
to add as many new members to the
roster as possible in the period given.
There are at present GOAL, 1853 mem
bers in the American Red Cross. John
Barton Payne, chairman of the Red
Cross, hopes to hear the answer,
present" when each one of these
names is called between Armistice Day
and THANKSGIVING Day this year, he
says, thus providing for the continu-
ance of the work of service to the
public of America and the sufferers in
foreign lands which the Red Cross
has started and is conducting on the
basis of its peace-time program.
In a letter sent out from national
headquarters. w. Frank Persons, vice.
chairman of the American Red Cross
in charge of Domestic Operations, calls
attention to the fact that the strength !
of the Red Cross in the past has been
In its volunteer workers. He urges,
therefore, that all chapter membership,
committees seek to re-enlist the larg-
est number possible of the men and
women who have served the Red Cross
as volunteers in the past, and suggests
that the Roll Call is logical channel
for bringing former workers back to
service in the Red Cross.
The interest manifested in the Red
Cross Convention at Columbus Ohio,
the first week In October, showed that
the public Is as keen to stand behind
the work of the Red Cross in its peace
time program as during the war, and
that the thinking public realizes that
the Red Cross Is as necessary to the
welfare Of the civilized world In time
of peace as in war. Officials Of the
Red Cross believe, therefore. that the
Roll Call this year Will result in many
more members than were placed on the
roster of the American Red Cross last
year.
The Red Cross throughout the coun-
try is putting on this year its new
peacetime program, which includes
public welfare service in every dIrec-
tion wherever such service is needed.
In health work alone in the last year,
260 chapters have organized health
centers with 6,264 clinics and 90,252
cases in these clinics. More than 1000
health talks have been given by these
and other chapters engaged in health
work, and health exhibits to the total
of $50, both travelling and stationery,
have been set up to inform the public
on matters pertaining to their own
and their community's health

swer to one written by a marine sta.
toned at Vladivostok, Siberia:
81 am sorry to have to contradict
your word about your So called good
post. We have one better. The ma
rine detachment here. from our point of
view, is the best in tn marine corps.
We have made this statement after
much deep thinking. From our COM

JUDGE POLLOCK'S COURT

A STORY is told of man who was charged with
crime in the local courts and he rushed right
up to the federal court where Judge John c. Pollock
was presiding and wanted to enter plea OF guilty
This man had evidently heard of the eniency of
Judge Pollock and he wanted to get some light SEN
tence and be free from further prosecution.
Naturally the Judge could not accept his plea be-
there no charge the federal court
against him
\ big with broad hat who has been look
ing over the mountains in the southeastern portion
OF the state said ii court had to do all the rough
work he had to do in order to get up cases he
would not be so lenient with folks.
But taken on the other hand Judge Pollock has
given evidence that he possesses big heart, that he
is real fellow that p years OF service the fed
eral bench has made him something that is not
human.
The big majority of cases that come up in the
federal court are pitiful. Many of the defendants
ignorant negroes and many others are of whites
who unsophiscated and know but little OF the
world except the arm and the mountains around
their homes.
Many OF these men have families OF children de-
pendent upon them, they without funds, if they
imprisoned their families will have nothing TO SUBJ
sist upon. The Severest punishment comes TO the
families OF these men if they placed in prison
Under such circumstances what is court going
to do Ii he is lenient he might encourage some
other fellow to engage in the business Ii he locks
these fellows up women and children suffer from
cold and hunger.
There is another feature to Judge Polocks work
This is his first court here and ii he were to hold
