May 21. One hundred and ten families, evicted by landlords, are comfortably housed in Vailsburgh Park today under tents loaned to the city of Newark by the war department. It is a real Tent viile, whose denizens, although tem porarily homeless, are as huppy as could be expoeted In a community forced to live outdoors. It is ex pected that before the end of sum mer 200 more families will have joined the little colony. Captain Thomas W. Reilly. a ma chine gun man with a fine overseas record, laid out the place and gave each arrival a first come, first served choice of their canvas habitation. One of them was a young widow with four children. She received an order to vacate her apartment after falling to defeat her landlord In a lawsuit. The city appropriated $25,000 for the operation of the camp and Gov ernor Edwards donated a big tent which, in the center, serves as a community kitchen. Army food from the municipal sales stations helps further to keep down the cost of liv ing. The new settlement is provided with many conveniences, including a sewerage Bystom, running water, a Uudry tent equipped with tuba .and stoves for ironing, shower baths and toilets. The total cost of installing the im provements was less than $600, ac cording to Captain Reilly, the largest single Item being $120 for heavy in sulated wire for electric UghtB. Sol diers and a number of city employes helped to put up the tents, which ara 16x16 feet, and lay the board floor ings. The tentB are boarded .up three feet from the ground. Most of the inhabitants of Tentville havo stored their furniture in the prospect of better days and are sleeping on cots furnished by a local hospital. The "town" Is laid out in eight streets, with one main avenue bi secting them. NOTICE TO SPANISH WAR VET- EIIA.NS.

Kells, of the educational de- partmeut of the Y. M. C. A., spent ' yuslerduy in this city In the interest : of the extension division or tne aaso ' ciation. Tho ex-service men of Douglas coumy are overlooking something," mr. Kells said, "and 1 believe if tuey properly understood the oiler being uiauo theui they would not hesitate in accepting. When the war ended the Y. M. C. A. had on hand a large sum of niuuoy given by the people of the United States for the purpose of helping tho soldiers. It was impos sible lo make a refund on a pro rata basis, and consequently it waa do- ciiled to URe the money to help the service men In some way. The money was divided according lo the quotas raised by .the various states, the allure for Oregon and Idaho being $43,000. This in turn waa divided among the various counties, Douglas eoumy's Bhare being $750. "The Y. M. C. A. then evoivea a system of scholarships, ,and ascer tained the approximate cost of each course offered. Home study Is given alone a ureal number of lines, agri cultural and rural engineering In all Its branches, .architecture, civil en gineering, commerce,. mechanics, mathematics, electricity, and many other lines of industry. These courses are furnished to the ex-service man without one cent of cost. All that is necessary for him to do Is to (111 out nn application blank fur iilMhoil hi in bv the county chairman and forward It to headauartcra and the course ill be sent him free of charge. An estimate is made of the cost of each course and the county refund pays this cost. At the pres ent time there are three men In Douglas county taking courses with the Y. M. C. A. One is taking radio, another stock breeding, and a third salesmanship. Their courses total the sum of $150, which deducted from the county quota leaves $600. However, the Y. M. C. A. does not expect to limit the counties to the amount of their refund. In event more men desire to take courses than the refund allows, the Y. M. C. A. will see that they get the studies deBired. "At Portland the Y. M. C. A. con ducts a school, where courses in au tomobile and tractor engineering, vulcanizing, radio telegraphy, elec trical engineering.. accountancy. stenography, salesmanship and other lines are given.

Al most exhausted from lta long flight. a bird of the plover species picked out the Nipon Yusen Kalsha liner Tajlma Maru as a haven ot refuge as the big steamship was plowing her way across the Paclfio for this port. The liner waa about nlue hundred miles out from Victoria when the feathered vlBitor settled helplessly on the main deck. Flying aimlessly above the broad expanse of the ship the bird had sought for something to rest Ha weary wings and it eagerly accepted the accom modating vessel to save itself from destruction. The bird was picked up and soon revived when ministered to by a member of the ship's crew. It proved very tame and displayed no inclina tion to resume its flight. Chance to Advertise Umpqua Strawberry According to a letter received this morning from Robert E, Smith o Portland, Roseburg has a big oppor tunity to advertise Itself and Its ber ries as well as its strawberry car nival by a very effective method.

IS GIVEN TRIAL Unless Railroad Companies Make Good Systems Will Go Back to Government THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT President ot Big Company Predicts That Private Companies Will . Make Good and That They Will Retain Property. By Associated Press NEW YORK. May 20.-r-Confldenee in the future successful operation of the railroads of the United State under private ownership control was expressed by Daniel Wlllard. presi dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail road company, in an address he de livered here today before the Na tional Association of Manufacturer. If the new railroad law is applied aa oongross Intended, and if the rail way manager so operate the prop erties aa to fairly meet the require ments and expectation of the pub lic, ne said, "we may reasonably ex pect that private ownership and op eration of the railroad aa an eco nomic policy will continue In thi country. If private ownership should ran me only alternative I am able to see 1 government ownership and operation, with all that the policy Implies. Railway manager must for a time at least keep constantly In mind that private ownership I nn trial and they must be determined that it shall win. They must study the needs of the publlo for transpor tation and make every reasonable ef fort to satisfy them. They must treat all alike and without discrimina tion." Mr. Wlllard repeated his recom mendation made to the council of na tional defense In 1917 that "a nation should have a national transporta tion system and such a system should embrace and make proper use of all available and suitable agen cies." He added that In his opinion, this recommendation which he made as a- war measure I equally perti nent and important in time of peace. "We are fortunate In actually hav ing In this country the essential ele ments of such a national system of transportation as I have in mind." Bald Mr. Wlllard. "There should, in the publlo Interest, be the fullest co operation between the several trans portation agencies and In all cases that agency should bo preferred which can render the required ser vice at the lowest total economic cost. If this policy la followed I feel confident of the future success of private ownership and operation of tho railroads," Having described the difficulties of the railroads In obtaining funds necessary for improvements, exten- iloni and equipment which he said had been estimated at from $600, fiOO. OHO to $1,000,000,000 a year. Mr. Willard said congress by enact ing the Esch-Cuiniulns hill, had cor rected the "poorly contrived system it regulation which brought about a sickly condition of the railroads," but that "the patient Is still weak and unable to stand alone." Per sonally, he said, he was In favor of the government naming the rate ot return upon the value of the prop erties which the railroads shalT be permitted to earn, but he declare! that "the railroads must be self- supporting before they can be ex pected to show signs of renewed vigor. "First of all," declared Mr. Wll lard, "the railroad rates and charges 'iitist be so adjusted as to meamr nhly meet the Increased operutiug costs resulting from conditions cre ated by the war. Congress has given lefinlto instructions that this be promptly done." After that he said It would remain for the railway man-, igers to "bo deal with the nrnblein as to satisfy tho reasonable re mlrements of the nih' c n' ' his country," he went on, "In the post have had the cheapest trans portation In the world. I think they are entitled to it in the future; nt miy rate, I believe thnt under pri vate ownership they will have it. They are nlso entitled to adequate 'ransportatinn, and thero is an Im ncrntlve obligation upon the carriers o furnish It. Innd'Tjuate transpor tation facilities would check prodnr nn and tend to Increase the cost of living." Mr. Wlllard predicted that strikes upon the railroads would become less and lens frequent as time went on. since. In his opinion, congress fcnd provided n d"f'"lte fn' fi-1--ahle arrangement that should re cure lus'lce to the railway n-oMni".i. "The puhl'c" su'd p"'- W". isrd, "Is entitled to expect an tin interrupted operaiinn f ih'I'vi. ? nroperiies. I believe the railway nnnngers and the emplitves will he tble 8Rt!ifHCorl1v to solve this (la bor! problem. Perhaps not Immedi ately, but within a reasonably near future. If not, thn to mv mind. It will be the clear duty of congress tn nass some kind of a law that will make the stoppage of railway trains because of labor disputes. Impos sible." '
