That Is why It Is -harder for -lumber mill than for any ether shipper to ret cara. - Cinok ea the Bnstaess. The Curtis Timber company,-at Mill iv. on the CorYallla Eastern, la one of the- lateat to ahut down for lack of cars, throwlna 100 man out of employ- - ment.

Benson rail road, have had no cars in II months. ond lone since shut down. The Ttohnor . Lumber company and the Summit Lum - ber company have also closed their mill ' In the Clatakanle district, becauae they could not ret ear from any of the rail- roads. ' ' - - - Ships Take Xte rroduot.

In any estimate of-the: number of cars per mile owned ty tne uregon lines of the Ham man railroad com passman lea, 'the mileage of Oregon's small rn4s should be figured In, for the feeder Imes represent jusf so much additional mlleega that. Is practically -without, cars. An a matter of fact the O. R. t N. Co. "haa less than two cara to the mile of roada It operates or ab solutely controls, under - traffic 'agree ments In Oregon.- . r , '. : v ; Oae Cat et stte.., . ' The small roads that are Without ears but depend on the Harrlman Unas, have a mileage of about. 800 ' miles. They own less than one car to the mile. The Harrlman lines get their buatness, do the bulk of the haul, and get the lar ger part of tbe pay. It haa been re garded, under these conditions, as emi nently proper end just that tbe Harrl man ilnea should furnish the cars. ; v Saalpneat stoat Kaage.' It Is when the O. R. A N. lines are compared in equipment with other rail roads of their class that the Harrlman road m Oregon 'la placed ' In the moat damning UzhL .While. the O. R. N. has been attempting to do the business of Oregon with lesa than two ears to the mils, other railroads beve l, to li cars to the mile. r , , The Houston A Texas Central,, a re mote railroad In the southwest, .has four and a half cars to the mile and - not half the' buatness that the O. R. A N. company enjoys. The Oron short Una, operating ' through a mountain pllg and comparatively unproductive re glon. hS "abont Ove care to the. nllla, which la far short of the number It need a The Harrlman A Northwestern, a little road m'lhe arid country tea . veraed by the Central racln, haa Ave cajs to the mile. The Colorado A Bout hero, a line running through the arid -southwest, haa six and one half eara to the mile. The Kansas City A Southern," operating Through a country with far . less 'natural resources than Oregon, has nine cars -to tbe mile, while the O. R. A N. Is struggling along with less than two ears to the mile to handle tbe Immense tonnage of the Columbia river basin. .--. t . ' .. - The Iowa Central, operating, through a strictly agricultural region, with -no large cities to serve, baa alx care to the mile. The Illinois Central, control of which Harrlman is said to have re cently acquired, has IS cara to the mile. The Santa Fe, a transcontinental rail road . that Is not In the class with the Union Pacific system for tonnage of fered, baa nine ears to the mile, ' sfore Business, rawer oars. ' In 189 the O. R. A N. Co., according to Ita own- report made to tbe Oregon tax commission,' had 2,7 SS. cars. In 1B0S, while tonnage had Increased - 40 per cent, - the road's - equipment had dwindled to 1,631 cars.- Today Its January laaue ef the. of tidal railway register gives the company t,t(0 freight and mlacellaneous cars, an Increase . ot but 1IJ cars In seven years. a In. tbe same period the growth of the Oregon country haa been enormous, without . any material increase of the number of freight cars furnished by the- Harrlman roads for handling the bualneaa The ststlstlcs of Portland alone a hows an overwhelming vlndlct ment of the railroad companies. Since 100 the bank . clearings of Portland have Increased from flOf.000,- 000 to I21t.400.000. The clty'e jobbing trade has grown from slOO.000,000 an nually to tlOO.000,000 ' annuf Uy. The postofflce receipts of Portland have In creased from 1161.800 In 181 to 1610,- 100 In 106. While the Harrlman roada have received the benefits' ef the enormous Increase of mall - carrying, they have practically Ignored the needs of the community for more shipping fa cilities. . . , . , i - -. ontlier Oregon' mff era. ' The car shortage on the lines of the Southern Pacific In , Oregon are even more acute, and always have been more severe ,han on the O. R. A - N. lines. The Southern. Pacific .operates 1,711 miles of Its own in this state, and con trols the trafflo'of about 800 miles In addition. -The Southern PaClfle in Ore gon Is practically i without any freight cars. II ' gets' no equipment excepting tne. raw ears that are pushed ever the Blsktyou-mountalns to It from the main system centering at San Francisco and New Orleans. . The bulk of tbe equipment . of the Southern Pacific Is needed by and -retained for the use of the Southern Pa cific's enormous bualneaa between San Francisco and the east, by which -route practically all of the export bualneaa of the . Harrlman railroad systems Is routed. - i - At the meeting of the counpJJyeater day afternoon the' ordinance making an appropriation for 2! additional pa trolmen and for Increased salaries In the police department was paaaed over the , veto of Mayor Lena ' The mayor" would not approve the ordinance becauae It "did not provide for the salary', of ; the .chief of police.
