EARLY RAIL RELIEF IS NOT EXPECTED BY PORTLAND, Sept 16 With all railroads in the country clamoring for more cars and with the demand for trans potation, both freight and passenger, steadily increasing, the traffic problem is becoming more and more serious. In fact, it has caused more than one railroad official's hair to turn gray, sayg H. M. Adams, vice president of the Union Pacific sys tem, who stopped off la Portland yes terday on his way to Seattle. In the face of these conditions, Mr. Adams asserts, the public cannot ex pect early relief. Nothing can be done by the railroads to better eondi tion until more facilities are pro vided, in the opinion of the visitor. Passenger rates, which recently were Increased, will not go down, at least for several years, says Mr. Adams. There Is only one way to get re lief and that la to provide more fa cilities," declared Mr. Adams. "The railroads are doing all they can to take care of traffic. The trouble with the Union Pacific system in handling freight is the inability of the com pany to keep its own cars on its own lines. At present, we are takine are of our passenger transportation with out trouble." Mr. Adams will return Monday to meet traffic officials and lumbermen. EX-PORTLAND MAN !S N PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 20.

Simon Roth, 24, of Milwaukee, and Lydia Lodor( 25, of Oregon City, were Issued a marriage license by the county clerk Monday. William A. Howard, 61, of Oervais, They Still Waver The Weekly Waverer is still on the job, sore it is true, but satisfied over its attitude toward the world in general and the Non partisan League in particular. We should not be surprised if our friend the Banner-Courier should change its name to the Weekly Waverer, for it reiterates that it is "strictly neutral," and says on its front page: "The Paper That is Making Clackamas County Famous." Why? We never heard of a county becoming famous because it had a neutral newspaper. This county may be famous, or infamous if you like, because some of its citizens propagated some freak measures. It may be famous for its fine potatoes or its toothsome ap ples. But, as for being famous for a Weekly Waverer, heaven forbid 1 However, we doff our hat to our neighbor. His use of the language puts us to blush. He's long on "venom, cowardly, wilful, unworthy, despised, anger, revilings," and a lot more of similar expressions. It is evident he is on quite friendly terms with Noah Web ster's book. Nevertheless, he is "neutral," even painfully so. "We shall neither deny nor affirm," he says. Just what we expected. He refuses to take a position because he has no position to take and we have not been able to discover whether he is a Non-Partisan Leaguer or 'fer ninst 'im. He attempts to dodge the issue by stating that the Enterprise candidate for county judge lost out in the primary election. News to us. If the good brother will stop wavering long enough to point out when and where we endorsed a candidate in the primaries for county judge we will be glad to "fess up." So, to quote the Weekly Waverer. "it will continue to give all the facts on both sides of all public questions which is the only genuine independence." Neutrality and independence are synonymous terms, according to our side-stepping contemporary. We stand condemned because of our temerity in sug gesting that he tell the public, just once in a while, where he stands. We would rather be called a dictator than a fish. STATE HONOR ROLL .S.
