U. P. SYSTEM TRAFFIC
RELATIONS IMPROVED
Union Pacific system Swallows the Ore
gOn-Washington Railroad q NayIga-
tion Co., Oregon Short Line and Tn
ion Pacific Co.

The announcement has Just been
made by the traffic authorities OF the
Union Pacific System Of a complete re-
organization Of that department The
news was somewhat startling at first
glance, especially to those whose bus
mess relations with that big firm have
been more or less friendly and intimate
for long time.
But as explained by A. s. Edmonds.
assistant traffic manager, who has just
returned from a big conference meeting
in the East, the move Is not in any sense
revolutionary. Indeed. it rather con-
templates unified in place Of unit con-
troll, and is really in line with what
nearly all the big railroad systems have
found after years of experience to be
the most satisfactory.
Until this announcement was made
the Union Pacific System operated IN
der the unit plan That is, the Union
Pacific Company Oregon Short Line
and Oregon Washington Railroad &
Navigation Co, while comprising the
System, were still doing business under
their individual titles. In a technical
senset his rather limited the activities
of its various officers, and to overcome
that situation and place all parts Of the
system in position to deal with the
traffic world as a system rather than as
three units this reorganization was de-
cided upon.
Under the new arrangement Mr.. Ed
monds became assistant traffic manager
of the Union Pacific System, with
headquarters at Portland instead of
traffic manager Of the O.-W. R. & n.
VIM. McMurraY general passenger
agent and H. E. Lounsbury, general
freight agent Of the O.W, are now gen.
era1 passenger agent and general
freight agent respectively, of the Un-
ion Pacific System and are in position
to handle System matters as freely as
they formerly did O-W matters.
While Mr. Edmonds was in the East
in conference with the traffic authorit-
les at headquarters effecting this reor.
ganization he also attended the agri-
cultural inquiry conducted in Congress
and several meetings Of the Transcon-
tinental Rate Bureau as well He feels
that the new regime was the only log
ical procedure. The Union Pacific Sys-
tenn will now hold the same relation to
the traffic world as that of the New
York Central, Big Four, Pennsylvania
and other big lines composed of long
list Of units.

EXPORTERS ATTEMPT TO
DODGE GRAIN GRADES

Exporters of the Northwest have been
attempting to dodge the Federal Grain
Grades and sell their wheat on what
they call Portland Chamber of Com
merce Type Sample" 1t was their con-
tention that as the foreign ports
are not acquainted with our grades and
are forced to buy on these grades they
will go elsewhere for their wheat
While selling on type samples is con-
trary to the provisions OF the Grain
Standard Act yet before forcing a
change on Western Exporters the u S.
Department of Agriculture sent an able
representative out to hold a hearing at
Portland which took place on November
7th. 1t developed that the exporters
desired to use the Federal Grades ia
buying wheat because it gives them an
opportunity to dock the farmers with
mixed wheat or with wheat OF a lower
test weight, but they desire to sell on
a type sample because in this way they
can sell wheat which is badly mixed, or
which only tests 81 to IS pounds per
hushel without designating it as a
No. 3, or frequently as mixed wheat
The farmers contention who were pres
ent, was that il the grades were good
to buy on they were good to sell on.
and that the exporter should label stun
which is shipped out. The Farm Bu-
reaus of Eastern Oregon were pretty
well represented at the hearing, Uma-
tilla having five or six men present:
sherman FIVE, Wasco two. and Morrow
county was represented BY f. NJ HUI
den, Secretary Of the Morrow County
Farm Bureau, and the County Agent
1t was pointed out very clearly that
We must attempt to reduce the num-
Der of commercial varieties grown In
the state. There are now slxty-one.
Professor Hyslop explained that this
ought to be cut to fifteen for the entire
state. This would be the greatest help
in eliminating mixtures, Although the
result Of the hearing was not aunounc-
ed at that time there is little doubt but
that wheat sold from the Pauitc ports
hereafter will so out on the Federal
Grades and give the farmers an oppor-
tunity to know the class Of wheat being
shipped and determine Just what their
No. / wheat should be worth on the
market here,
II is generally known that our best
wheat is used at home and that the soft
club wheat Of the lower grades are ex-
ported 1t Is this class OF wheat that
has been used IN determining what the
market should be- for wheat which is
left at home
