ON COAST INSPECTION TRIP Secretary McAiloo Had Just Com plete) Conference With ttnllruad Head Was Fnrmite to t'ori land From Sun FinnciNCO. A laige crowd of Itoseburg people assembled al the depot platform last evening to greet Secretary McAdoo, director general of railroads of the United States, as he passed through on his special train about 7 o'clock en route, to Portland from San Fran cisco on an Inspection trip of the railroads. Secretary McAddo was not able to make an address, as he was under the doctor's Instructions not to thus use his voice, but he de scended from the platform of the rear coach and shook hands with a great many during the short time that the train remained here. Mrs. McAdoo, who accompanied her husband, pleasantly assisted him In greeting the people and extended courtesy in a gracious manner. She takes a great interest In Secretary McAdoo's work and travels with him on most of his trips. They consult together on a great many problems that arise from the numerous duties or being a cabinet official, the Secre tary of (he Treasury, and director general of the Immense railroad sys terms of the I'nlted States. Mrs. Mc Adoo takes a part In many of the patriotic activities and after assist ing her husband during his office ; hours, she spends hours at the Red Kast. Secretary McAdoo's visit to this coast is purely business, and he be lieves there will be an immediate improvement of railroad conditions In the west as a result of these re cent conferences. Both time and j money will he saved In handling freight and passengers by the recent orders Issued by Mr. McAdoo using I all short cuts for freight and the common use by all railroad lines of terminals and facilities. 'The move ment of war necessities, said Mr. Mc- ; Adoo, must be considered first and after that the immense amount of traffic must be taken care of. Long ( hauls will be avoided and traffic bal anced as much as possible over the iditrerent roads, for the administra tion plans to prevent a recurrence of the congestion of last winter. Iterore leaving on the trip to the t Pacific Coa.d, Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo I spent several days at Truckee, a mountain resort between Nevada and California. Secretary McAdoo has n quested that no entertaining be done for him or his party, as he wishes to devote his time to husi n s i, conferring w n h the heads of the railroads. I Clarence K.
