SHORTAGE IS INCREASING Public Service Bodies TTrged to Compel Roads With Surplus Cars to Supply Others That Are Short. SALEM. Or., Oct. 11. (Special.) With the declaration that lumber ship pers of the Willamette Valley Lumber men's Association, -with mills on the Southern Pacific, were short an aver age of 57 per cent of their require ments for cars during the month of September and that since October 1 the shortage has increased, F. G. Donald Bon, traffic manager of the associa tion, has made an appeal to the Pub lic Service Commission, the car serv ice bureau of the Interstate Com merce Commission, and to Oregon's Senators and Representatives in Con gress, urging that some remedy be ap plied. "We are willing to go the limit to avoid the repetition of last year's ex perience, when at one time about 60 per cent of our cut was closed down and our yards glutted with lumber at times when prices were rising and we were unable to supply the needs of our customers," asserts Mr. Donaldson in his letter to Oregon's Congressional delegation. To the car service bureau he cites statistics of recent date showing how the shortage has hit Willamette Valley lumber mills. "For the period, Sep tember 1 to September 12," he says, "the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company mill at Springfield, Or., received 29 per cent of its requirement and its mill at Wendling, Or., 36 per cent. The Ham mond Lumber Company, at Mill City, 41 per cent; the Silverton Lumber Com pany, at Silverton, 38 per cent; the Willamette Valley Lumber Company, at Dallas, 44 per cent, and other mills, members of this association, were having the same experience." Railroads Sole Dependence. . The association owns 22 mills, all located on the line of the Southern Pa cific in Oregon, "with no water serv ice," the communication states, "and wholly dependent upon railroads for the transportation of its product, which constitutes 25 per cent of the entire output of lumber of this state." It is urged that some arrangement be made whereby roads with a surplus of cars can be compelled to furnish cars to roads that have a shortage. "The railroads out here," continues Mr. Donaldson, "interpret our car pooling arrangement as one that is at their option. That is, they contend that while they may permit cars to be loaded via any route, they are not obliged to let shippers have their cars for such loading." Distribution Is Urged. lie states that consequently lines like the Northern Pacific. Great North ern, and C. M. & St. P. Railway, which have no through rates on lumber from mills on the Southern Pacific lines, are not disposed, and according to their interpretation, cannot be compelled to furnish cars to the Southern Pacific Company for loading of lumber and other forest products. "If there must be a car shortage," lie declares, "we insist that all share Jn it alike, and after Governmental requirements are filled the balance of equipment be distributed equally be tween all classes of shippers, and the lumber producers not be made the principal victims of a lack of cars. We have been "goats' during every car shortage period for years past and as this whole state lives on the lumber in dustry we are not longer willing to stand for these manifest discrimina tions."

CONGRESS TO HEAR CHARGE Alaska Delegate Asks for Testimony Against Local Chinese. OLTMPIA, Wash.. Oct. 11. (Special.) Assurance of Congressional consid eration of charges filed against Wong On, Chinese labor contractor of Port land, by cannery employes sent by him to Alaska this year, has been given-C. H. Younger, State Labor Commissioner, by James Wickersham, territorial dele gate from Alaska. Wickersham wrote for a copy of the testimony taken by state and Federal Commissioners at Seattle recently from employes of Wong On, who claimed that their wages were wrongfully with held.

CONRAD OLSON MAY RUN STATE SENATOR SAID TO HAVE HIS EYE OX CO.VCHESS. Agreement Thought to Have Been Reached Four Years Ago, When Mr. McArthur First Ran. Conrad P. Olson, State Senator from Multnomah County, may be a candidate against C. N. McArthur for the Re publican nomination for Representative in Congress from this district at the primary election next May 19. At any rate, there is much gossip to that effect in the circles where political events are prognosticated and forecast, and Senator Olson himself does not deny the gentle innuendo. At the same time he is not announc ing his candidacy, but except in the case of the ever-blooming Mr. Lafferty, who is a perpetual candidate, it is not considered good form to make an nouncements this far in advance. Representative McArthur has not said that he will seek re-election to a third term, but that he will declare himself in the race is taken for granted. Mr. McArthur is due home today from Washington, and some interesting de velopments may be expected. Four years ago, before Mr. McArthur was elected to his first term. Senator Olson, then a member of the lower house of the Legislature, was tenta tively in the race for Congress. He withdrew at that time under the im portunities of Mr. McArthur's friends, and supported him in the campaign. It was current gossip at the time that an understanding had been reached be tween them that after Mr. McArthur had served two terms he should not seek re-election against Mr. Olson, if the latter should be a candidate. Senator Olson has served three terms in the Legislature from Multnomah County, being elected Senator in 1916 by a big vote. He was one of the high men on, the ticket. At the last session of the Legislature he was chairman of the Senate roads and highways commit tee, and had an important part in fram ing the $6,000,000 roads bond measure and other highway legislation.

HOOVER FOR YOUNGSTERS In Five Addresses at Eugene, O. M. Plummer, State Administrator, Explains Why Important Work Is Given Young Folk. EUGENE, Or., Oct. 11. (Special.) The boys and girls of Oregon are to play a more important .part in the food administration plans of the Nation than any other state in the Union, because Herbert C. Hoover, National Food Ad ministrator, was once an Oregon boy and is willing to risk his reputation as a prophet on the spirit of the youth of this state, according to O. M. Plummer, of Portland, who delivered five ad dresses in Eugene today in connection with the organization of the food con servation campaign. When food administration officials in Washington learned that the Oregon committee intended to entrust the most important part of the work to the school children they protested, accord ing to Mr. Plummer. The state com mittee replied that Oregon boys and girls could be relied upon and that they had been accustomed to taking part in public movements. Finally to settle the matter, a telegram was sent to Mr. Hoover, to which he replied:: "If the Oregon boys and girls say they can do it, let them go to it. They will put it over. I was once an Oregon boy myself." Mr. Plummer declared that Mr. Hoover's telegram explains why the Oregon campaign is different from that of any other state in the heavier re sponsibilities put upon youngsters. HOSPITAL GETS FUNDS IMVERSITV OF OREGON UXIT DE FICIENCY DISSOLVED. Klkn' War Relief Committee Agree to Donate the $30,000 to $60,000 Needed by the War Organization. Money to make up the deficiency in the funds of the University of Oregon Base Hospital, officially denominated s Base Hospital No. 46, will be fur nished by the Elks' war relief commit tee in New York, according to a mes sage from Senator Chamberlain yes terday.

The personnel includes 22 doctors, two dentists, 65 trained women nurses and 152 non commissioned officers and men. The hospital cannot be turned over to the War Department until all the money necessary for its equipment has been collected.

The Portland Red Cross appropriated $20,000 for equipping the hospital, on condition that a like sum be furnished by other Red Cross chapters through out the state.

The assistance of the Elks will make it possible for the hospital to go to training camp in a short time. Charles F. Berg, purchasing agent for the hospital, announced yesterday that he would proceed immediately to get the supplies. The hospital will be equipped at the outset to care for 500 patients.
