With 400 cars dispatched today by the Southern Pacific to points in Oregon, the shortage of cars in the lumber in dustry of the state will soon be over. Responding to an urgent inquiry sent by the Oregon Public Service Commis sion as to why the Southern Pacific Company had failed to provide suffi cient equipment.

"The demand for cars is heavy," eaid Mr. Sproule in his reply, "and we are making especial efforts to meet the needs in Oregon. Four hundred cars are now moving to Willamette Valley points." Because of complaints which have poured into the Public Service Com mission of the car shortage in Oregon in the lumber industry, the following message was telegraphed to President Sproule early today, resulting in the reply above given: "Investigation shows that the lum ber, industry in the Willamette Valley and Portland is suffering intensely because of failure of the Southern Pa cific to furnish the cars needed for shipments to California. In view of the critical condition of the industry this failure to afford reasonable facili ties is having a far-reaching effect. Please state your reasons why your company is unable to furnish ears for these shipments and also what relief may be expected.
