Case Now On
Several thousand copies of a report
entitled, “Economic Gains from a
Practical Unmerger of the Central Paci
fic Railway company andy Southern
Pacific company,” written by Mr.
Peter, Croekatt, professor of transpor
tation at the University of Oregon,
have been published by the- Union
Pacific company, and is included in
their written brief which is being used
in the case for the Inter-State Com
merce commission Washington, D. C.
The case, which is now nearly ended,
is whether the railway properties shall
be divided by the United States into
a limited number of systems. The
main argument has been around the
question of the Union Pacific getting
control of the Central Pacific property,
which is now operated by the Southern
Pacific.
“I was working on a plan of con
solidating transcontinental railways
when I was taking my doctor’s degree
at the University of California,*’ said
Mr. Croekatt. “I have been following
the case since', last May, and wro.'.e a
report on it, when asked to do so by
the Eugene Chamber of Commerce
commission. The Union Pacific saw
the report and asked permission to have
it published.”
The outline of the present unmerger
plan as given by Mr. Croekatt contjms
statements that go far to prove that
the linking of the Central Pacific main
Ogden transcontinental line with the
Unon Pacific; arrangements as to com
mon or joint use of Central and South
ern Pacific lines and properties around
San Francisco; the maintenance of the
north and south haul between Port
land and San Francisco under Southern
Pacific control, involving a long lease of
the Central Pacific-properties; and the
granting of common user privileges on
Southern Pacific lines from Eugene to
Portland, Marshfield, and Odell so as
to make the Union Pacific line across
Oregon feasible, would be a. good pub
lic policy, practible, would better ex
isting business conditions, and vould
provide more adequately for future
trans-developments.
“It is interesting to note^” concluded
Mr. Croekatt, “that the only statements
concerning this case, made by univer
sity men, were in favor of the Union
Pacific. These were made by Prof. W.
Z. Ripley, of Harvard University and
Dr. Stuart Daggett, professor of rail
way economics at the University oj£
California and myself.”
SINGING OF D’ALVAREZ
(Continued from page one.)
It was wonderfully done. A dainty
number “The Butterfly is in Love With
the Rose,” Cox, followed by “Do Not
Go My Love,” Hageman, a very splen
did song, capitally sung, and Easthope
Martin’s “Come to the Pair” crow.ded
•with quaint humor, closed this group.
Mana Zucca’s “The Top of the Mornin”
was added as an encore.
A group of four French songs
“Psyche,” Paladilhe, “Beau Fair,” De
bussy, “Les Papillons,” Chausson and
“Bonjour Suzon,” Di Veroli, made up
the fourth group. Delightful indeed
were the contrasts offered by this
charming group, and the singer’s splen
did interpretive ability left nothing
to be desired. A simple, sweet Scotch
song entitled “He is Just My Bairnie
Lad” was added as an encore.
Tht final group consisted of two
Spanish love songs, “El pano” ar
ranged by Kurt Schindler, “La Zagal
ina,” Tabuyo, and two excripts from
Carmen by Bizet; “Habanera” and “La
Seguidilla.” The latter number was re
peated as an encore. This group was
one of the most delightful of all given,
and seemed to appeal greatly to the
audience. Never have I heard the
Carmen music given with more opu
lence of tone, or in a more taunting
fashion. It was superbly done. The
Spanish songs were also greatly ap
preciated.
A very musical accompanist, in the
person of Lois Maier, gave the singer
splendid support, besides playing in a
delightful fashion, Liszt’s arrangement
of “On Wings of Song” by Mendel
ssohn, and “Caprice,io in B minor,”
Brains. Percy Grainger’s “Irish Folk
Tune,” melody of which we know
as the song “Danny Boy” was given
as an encore.
A word must be said regarding the
extremely poor appearance of the plat
form on which the artists were com
pelled to appear. The faded blue cur
tains immediately in back of the piano,
and the uncovered splintery floor
were not conducive to heighten the
artistic setting the Singer deserved to
have.
ASTORIA STUDENTS
(Continued from page one.)
resources were deposited was burned in
the conflagration. The McCabes live
at Wauna, near Astoria.
Great Losses Incurred
Zoe Allen, a senior in the department
of English, Reports that her parents
had interests in the Astoria Hardware
company, one of the numerous places
of business destroyed. The parents
of Edythe Wilson had interests in the
Hotel Astoria, only recently erected,
and which was burned to the ground,
according to the reports.
Several of the Astoria students
could not be located last night and it
is probable that the losses reported by
University students is greater than
what is listed. In some cases the fi
nancial losses suffered by students is
so great that they will be forced to
withdraw from school temporarily.
Following is a list of the Astoria
students registered in the University:
Zoe Allen, A. M. Anderson, Wayne A.
Anderson, Beatrce Barker, Wilfred
Bates, Gordon Bennett, Maurine Bu
ehannan, Richard Carruthers, Ling Kan
Chung, Bernice Davies, Wenona Dyer,
Dorothy Eakin, Priscilla Eakin, Theo
dora Jacobs, Rolf Klep, Margaret Me
Collough, Jefferson Nelson, Katherine
Pinnea, James Powers, Hugo Reed, Es1
tella Empo, .Beatrice Fish, John Garner,
Augusta Hamilton, Henrietta Hansen,
Arthur Hildebrand, Joseph Saari, Har
ry Series, Edythe Wilson, and Eliza
beth Setters.
MANY BOOKS LOANED
Figures from the library show that
nearly a thousand books a day are
loaned to students. From the general
reserve desk 26,630 books were bor
rowed in October. In November 27,
085 were loaned. From the business
administration department 6,844 books
were loaned in October and 5761 in
November. Thus the average is almost
a thousand a day.
A RATTLING PHOTOPLAY
Proving itself a rattling photoplay
of the West, “The Cowboy and the
Lady” was received with enthusiasm
by a crowded house at the Rex theatre
last night. M^ry Miles Minter, popu
lar Paramount star, and Tom Moore,
a favorite screen player, are featured
in this production. The story deals
with a dilettante cowboy and a suf
fering wife. The two meet in ro
mantic circumstances, and the action
is swift, tense and highly entertaining.
HENDRICKS RAIL WINS
. FROM DELTA ZETA TEAM
Victors Display Excellent
Brand of Teamwork
The Delta Zeta basketball team was
badly walloped last night by Hen
dricks hall by a score of 40 to 5. The j
loosing team fought hard, but was out-!
classed in every department by the op-1
posing team. This is the second game j
Hendricks hall has won, and judging
from last night’s exhibition, of team
work, several more favorable scores
are likely to be run up before the sea
son is over. The passing was un
usually accurate and swift and the
ability of the forwards in successfully
locating the baskets has not been ex
celled this year. Twenty-four of the
points were made by Betty Alexander,
who was just 8 points better than her |
team mate, Grace Sullivan. The game
between the Kappas and Oregon club
■was cancelled.
Monday, at 5 o’clock, the Chi
Omegas will play Susan Campbell hall,
and the Pi Phis will play the Alpha
Chi Omegas.
The lineups for yesterday’s games
were as follows:
Hendricks hall Delta Zeta
M. Craine.C. D. Parker
W. Chattin.SC. M. Hanson
P. Lewis.G. D. Conklin
M. Onslow.G. E. Gutrige
B. Alexander.F. C. Gray

DEBATERS CLASH
(Continued from page one.)
pare for the contest converted the meet
into a dual affair. It has been cus
tomery for some time to have a tri
angular meet taking in the three col
leges, but this year Reed withdrew
ejjrly in the season.
A comparison of the total points
gained by the two institutions since
1915 shows a slight advantage on the
side of O. A. C. They lost two to
one to Oregon last year but won a
three to nothing victory over the Ore
gon team in the two preceding years.
The Aggies have obtained a total of
18 points during the last seven years
compared with 15 for Oregon. A vic
tory on the part of both Oregon teams
Monday evening could put Oregon
ahead in this total.
Patterson Asks Backing
Paul Patterson urges that all stu
dents turn out for the debate in Guild
hall Monday night and do all in their
power to encourage the Varsity de
baters. He suggests that house meet
ings be cut a few minutes short if nec
essary in order not to interfere with
attendance on the part of students con
nected with living organizations.
-The judges for the debate here are
Clement Ackerman, head of the econo
mics department of Reed College; Presi
dent Riley of Linfield College; and
Charles Lennon, an attorney in Port
land. ' ' '
