RECORD CONGESTION
OF ROADS EXPECTED
Executives Look Forward to
Unusual Flood of Traf-
fic Soon.

Tho likelihood that the fail will wit
ness record breaking congestion in rail-
road freight traffic and severe short
age of cars and facilities was indicated
in statement issued yesterday by the
Association of Railway Executives. The
statement declares that II coal traffic
at present were normal total car load
irgs would be running at rate only
10 per cent. under that of the record
fall movement of October. 1920.
At the conclusion of an analysis OF the
effect Of the coal miners strike on
freight traffic the association says that
II traffic In other commodities comes
up to the expectations Of continued in
crease and the coal movement follow
ing the miners strike Is only normal
the volume of freight tonnage to be
handled by the railroads within the next
few months will exceed that Of any pre-
vious period in their history.
The loadings of revenue freight as
reported weekly by the American Rail-
way Association have been increasing
steadily since the first Of the year." the
statement goes on. For the week ended
June "a car loadings OF all commodities
totaled S77,856. This number included
only 96,960 cars loaded with coal and
is about $4,000 cars below the weekly
average of coal loadings for June and
July. 1921.
Traffic in all commodities always in
creases toward the fall of the year.
This is particularly true Of coal ship
ments. The weekly average loadings Of
coal from September 25 to December
IS, 1920, was 217,200 cars, or about
$4,000 more than the average for June
and July, 1921. and 10000 more than
the rate at which coal is being loaded
at present
IF the normal autumn movement Of
coal alone were added to present car
loadings a total Of about 997.S56 cars
would be the total weekly movement Of
all commodities. This figure would be
but $1,000 cars less than the record
movement in American railroad history,
which occurred in the week ended Oc-
tober Is. 1920. and totaled 1,01s.539
cars.
According to the Department Of Agri-
culture the 1922 wheat crop Is far In
excess Of the average crop Of 1916 to
1920. The same is true Of the rye and
hay crops. while the apple crop Is about
the same as the five-year average.
Loadings Of ore. manufactured articles,
livestock and forest products are all
increasing substantially from week to
week"

2299 per cent, and 3,914.3l2. or 7701 per
cent, respectively. three months ago.

The recipes of dietitians who can
compose novel foods are in great
demand, for every hostess delights
IN placing an unusual dish before
her guests. Here is one of the
most tasteful relishes of the 1929
compositions. The saltiness of the
green olives blends with the cab
oage. celery and beets in a manner
that can be appreciated only by
sampling:
One cup stoned Spanish green
olives (chopped), one cup chopped
young cabbage, one-half cup celery
cut in rings, one-half cup finely
diced cold boiled beets, ofe-half cup
French dressing, one-quarter cup
sugar, one tablespoonful mixed salt.
pepper and paprika. Mix these in
gradients. chill, and serve with meat
course. This relish may be pre-
pared in twenty minutes and will
serve seven or eight.

The following statement concern
ing the hog situation in Oregon by
G. M. McAllister, field man for the
Union Stock Yards of Portland will
interest Malheur county hog raisers
for there are many ranchers raising
hogs this yea who did have a rog on
on their ranch last year Mr. Meal
lister says:
:We are all familiar with the
fact that there is a serious shortage
Of hogs in Oregon as we'll as other
states Of the Pacific Northwest.
We have been aware of the fact that
large shipments of live hogs have
been brought into the Oregon mar
ket centers from as far east as the
Dakotas and Kansas. It has been
apparent for some time, especially
since the price of wheat has come
down that the farmers of Oregon
can profitably go into the raising
of hogs for market. 1t may be in
teresting to review at this time
what has been accomplished In the
way of increasing hog production in
Oregon in the past two or three
months"
around the first of the year 1t
was comparatively easy to assemble
carload of breeding sows for sale;
In fact several such sales were held,
and wherever good breeding sows
were offered In a sale, they brot
prices satisfactory to the seller as /
we'll as the buyer. 1t is apparent |
now that brood sows have been
out over the farms of
Oregon, not only through carload
sales, but in sales of one, two and
.hree head, with the result that at
he present time 1t seems next TO
impossible to find a brood sow that
s for sale. Apparently SO far as
he supply of brood sows in Oregon
8 concerned, they are all being put
o maximum use. In the past two
IT three months quite a large num-
'er Of good quality brood sows have
,one through the Portland Union
livestock market to the killers
teps have been taken now by the
livestock Exchange and the Port
and Union Stock Yards Company
no good piggie brood sows
re allowed to be killed, but when
yer offered they are picked up and
ut in a special division in the stock
ards where they are immunized
nd held for sale to the farmers OF
ne Pacific Northwest at practically
ork prices. Quite business is
Sing done in these brood sows at
ie stock yards at the present
me. On account of SO many hogs
irving at the market, 1t will be
