BIG IMPROVEMENTS
BY THE RAILROADS
May Be Regarded as Encour-
aging Signs of Returning
Prosperity.

The disbursement of fifteen million
dollars, most of which will be paid out
in Oregon and Washington during
1922, is one of the encouraging signs
of returning prosperity. The Union
Pacific System is to add largely to its
equipment, to relay portions Of its
track with rails of greater weight, to
ballast anew it's roadbed, to replace
wooden bridges with structures OF
steel, and construct a steel bridge
bridge across the Columbia River be-
this one project to cost $1,500,000.
An order for $500 new freight cars,
to cost $10,O00,000, and for $500 re-
frigerator cars at a cost of $S,750,000
was made public several weeks ago.
The refrigerator cars are for the Pa
cific Fruit Express, one-half OF which
Is owned by the U. P. System.
General Manager O'Brien of the Ore
Washington Railroad & Naviga-
ton Company (Western unit of the
Union Pacific System) has just an
nounced the sett ng aside of $1,000 900
for improvements and additions on
this unit of the System during 1929.
Most of these millions will be ex-
pended In Oregon and Washington.
The forest and the saw mills will
supply all of the lumber which will be
used In car construction and the army
of railroad workers will be enlarged
until 1t will be of sufficient magnitude
to complete the work. The money
paid for material and labor will be put
into general circulation. Service will
be increased, labor in demand and
business conditions improved by the
millions to be spent by the great trans
continental railroad
