That tho air brakes on rolling stock
In use on the mountain system of the
0. R. & N. are In splendid condition
and In such perfect state that Inspec
tors can find no fault with them. Is
the pleasing news which Division
Foreman J. H. Watson received today.
Inspector Wed worth, paid and em
ployed by the New York Air Brake
company, has spent a day Jn La
Grande Inspecting the brakes and went
away today highly pleased with con
ditions here.
Nowhere in the west, perhaps, is
there need of closer attention to the
condition of air "brakes than in east
ern Oregon, and Mr. Watson is to be
commended on his record. Air brakes
save more lives In this section of Ore
gon than anywhere else, and were lo
cal officials and Inspectors not so at
tentive to their duties, many disas
trous wrecks would result.

knocking for admission. It would ap
pear that the limit of the number of
commonwealths In the Union would
loon be reached. Already, however,
there Is much discussion among con
gressmen of making news states out
of old ones and some of the projects
are being taken seriously. For years.
t occasional Intervals, It Has been
proposed that the unwieldy bulk of
Texas should be divided Into at lean
two, and possibly four states. This
vropoaltlon has never met with the
favor of the republican leaders In
congress, owing to political reasons,
'nd It Is more than likely that the
Lone Ptar state -Will maintain its In
tegrity for many years to come.
Less opposition has been provoked
by the proposal to form a new state
of what la known as the "Inland em
pire," comprising portions of the states
of Washington, Idaho and Oregon.
with Spokane as the capital. It has
been suggested that the new common
wealth thus organized be chr!st"ned
Lincoln, thus bringing sentimental as
well as commercial reason to the sup
port of the scheme. It Is urged that
the Interests of the "inland empire"
are directly opposed to the balance of
the states of which It forms a part
and that the formation of the new
state, would be of direct advantage to
all concerned.
Another project which has come to
the front In the last few weeks Is the
forming of a new state of the northern
parts of Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin, with Duluth as the proba
ble capital. This section forms the
mineral c'lstrlcts of the three states,
bordering on the lakes, with interests
entirely different from the agricul
tural sections.
In order to bring about the forma
tion of such new states, there would
have to be favorable action by tho
legislatures of all the states affected
and by the congress of the United
States. It would be a slow and diffi
cult process, and It Is unlikely that the
number of states will be Increased by
this method for many years to come.
