By Junius ;; Superintendent Finch Portland. Some wiseacre once said, "Won are only boys grown tall, hearts don't change much after all." ' And that's about right, for Saturday night as the writer Iwarded train No. 23 at La Grande we saw a brand new coach on the rear of the train and later learned it was the new private car of General Superintendent Finch of the O.-W. railroad. In the car was Mr. Finch and his family and William L'ol lons, superintendent of the second division. The new car's interior had been planned by Mr. Finch and he explained to Superintendent Bollons and the writer the different com partments. Really Mr. Finch has all the Pullman car build ers backed off the lot when it comes to utilizing space in a car. Jle has everything in his home on wheels from a his refrigerator that would hold a beef to n modern shower bathj And the two, veteran railrqiul men reviewed every feature of that car with the same inbere,st;t1iit the yoimg--pters watched the toy electric train in Joe Chit's show win dow during the holiday period. ';: " ' Incidentally Mr. Finch's former private car Irta twon assigned to Mr. Bollons at La Grande. That was necessary because recent cold weather froze the Bullous private car ifrom end to end, pipes, brakes and all. ' M i ".Railroad men are always interesting. General Supcrin UeBdent Finch is an encyclopedia of transportation infor mation, and while he seldom talks for publication, a conver sation with, him is always enlightening and educational. t . .; ... ,; ! The woit "efficiency,"- 'which has been so commonly 'used and so greatly abused, has come nearer being worked out 100 per cent in railroad woik in the pa;.t few years 'than in any other line of business. When one stops to think that everything the railroad uses, including labor and materials, has advanced on an '.average of 93 per cent, and transportation costs have ad 'vanced but 39 per cent, it can readily be seen that a lot ;of "efficiency" had to be put in actual practice by rail 'roads to make things harmonize commercially. ; It has liecn done. The Union l'acil'ic is serving the Ipublic well, but it has cut expenses on every miner. Kx ipense cutting is the one thing occupying. attention of all railroad heads today. ' One thing forcing this is the automobile and motm bus, which have almost spelled ruin to the passenjver busi ness. Another thing is complex regulation which has grown )jy leaps and hounds of late years, and which is' wiy (Ues tionnbla as being a benefit to either the railucd or the Consumer of transportation. It takes all kinds of ihhiIo to nuiko a worltl ami tlio world cer tainly has tlirtn. - Wo greatly need somo such forceful, popular man ns Roose velt, to laugh 'tho people out ol folly which hasn't a leg to stand on.
