IMPROVEMENTS ARE MANY .Popular Impression of Effect of In creased Rates on Living Costs Declared Exaggerated.' The annual report of the Southern Pacific company for the year ended December .31, 1918, issued yesterday, Knows the operating: revenues, operat ing expenses and net revenue from rail way operations of the first year of gov ernment control, compared with the last year of private control. Operating revenues in 1918 were $221,611,206.21, as against $193,971,489.54 in 1917, an increase of $27,639,716.67, or 14.25 per cent under federal control." Operating expenses last year were $162,722,371.84, and in the preceding year, under private control $120,601, 822.82. having increased $42,120,649.02, or 34.93 per cent. The net revenue from railway operations in 1917 was $73,369, 666.72. whereas last year it fell to $58,888,834.37. a decrease of $14,480. ;''. 35, or 19.74 per cent. Effect Held Exaggerated. Commenting on the advance in freight rates, the report says: "The popular impression of the effect of an increase in rates on living costs is grossly exaggerated, and there is no doubt that the fear of greatly increas ing living costs influenced the public and the interstate commerce commis sion, through the pressure of public opinion, to deny the petitions of the carriers for higher rates to produce an increase in revenue commensurate with the rises in costs of labor and material. To show how slight a foundation ex ists for this belief, and how exaggerat ed is the popular conception of this in fluence, the following figures are ad duced: "In the period from 1910 to 1919 the price of dressed beef originating in Chicago and transported to New York increased from 221 cents to 40 cents per pound, or, expressed in our smallest unit of value, 175 mills, while the freight rate increased 2.4 mills, or only 1.4 per cent. "The price per pound of ham and bacon transported between the same points increased 205 mills, whereof the increase in freight rate was responsible for 1 -i mills, or only p. 73 per cent. "The increase in the cost of a suit of underwear transported from Boston to Chicago in the period 1910 to 1919 was 1 250 mills, to which the increase in freight rate contributed 3 mills, or .25 per cent. "A pair of shoes, transported from Boston to Chicago in the same period, increased in price 3f00 mills, of which the increase in freight rate was. re sponsible for 6 mills, or .16 per cent. "No coin is small enough to repre sent any of these increases in cost, but if the dealer should add one copper cent in each case to the 1910 prices to reimburse him for the increased cost of his commodity due to increased freight rates lie would grossly over charge the purchaser in every case. He would make him pay nearly double the proper amount in the case of a pair of shoes and over six times the proper amount in the case of a pound of ham or bacon." Itrniii'h Rond Built. ATicng the expenditures during the ar by the Southern Pacific and its proprietary companies was $10.71 4 by Rie Marion & Linn county railroad for a branch from Hoover to Idanha. The passenger station at Salem was com pleted, also an extension to the freight t ar repair shed at Brooklyn. At the Brooklyn shops an oil storage house El by 57 feet and reinforced concrete oil tanks are under construction. A sLcel span over the Willamette at Ku trene, to replace a 200-foot wooden s-pan, was completed during the year. The work of replacing a trestle 330 Sect long and 98 feet high with a con crete arch was completed on the Tilla mook branch and the work of replac ing four other trestles, having an ag gregate length of 1282 feet and an average height of 65 feet, with con ' crete arches is progressing. Many Improvement Made. At Cochran, a 381-foot drain tunnel "was constructed. The Wall Creek trestle, at Steinman, 825 feet long with two eight-foot concrete arches was completed, also a (tf0-foot -drain tun rel. In 12 tunnels on the Tillamook branch, additional timber supports are being installed. Other improvements noted are the electrification of 42.2 miles of road from Whiteson to Corvallis. including tl.e construction of high tension trans mission lines from Salem to Gerlinger; the shifting of station buildings and construction of 9526 feet of new track at Corvallis, the rearrangement of terminal yards and laying of 14,305 feet of new track at Brooklyn, and the construction at Barvicw of 1750 feet of wooden bulkhead and seawall and 640 feet of jetty. Mrs. Perry Will Praise Tanlac for the Remainder of Her Life, She Says. "T will certainly praise Tanlac the remainder of my life," said Mrs. George Perry, residing at 1920 North Stevens street, Tacoma, Washington, recently, "for the medicine has really and truly made me feel like a new woman and In f just about two months time after I began taking it my weight had in creased twenty-flve pounds. "Seven or eight years ago," she con tinued, "my stomach began to act in a very peculiar manner. Things I had always been eating failed to agree with me and I had no relish for my food any more. Then my appetite left me en tirely and what I ate seemed to do me harm instead of good, as I would bloat up so with sour gas that I was misera ble all the time. My whole body, even to my face, would bloat terribly and this gas would press on my heart, caus ing it to jump and palpitate fearfully. I suffered so with shortness of breath that I could not walk a block without having to stop several times to get my breath and was completely exhausted by the time I had walked that far. I felt absolutely worn out all the time, although I did very little work, being physically unable to do much, and was so nervous and restless that I would lay awake night after night my cye just seemed to be propped open and there was no sleep for me. I often had raging headaches, my kidneys were in bad shape, too, and there were such awful cutting pains in my back that I could hardly bend over to put my shoes on. My limbs and feet got so they would often swell until I could not get my shoes on and sometimes I could not walk at all. "I was paying out money all the time for treatment and medicine, but only got worse, and at last reached the point where life did not seem worth living. My mother finally persuaded me to take Tanla and the results are I am a well and happy woman. My appetite is splendid and I eat just anything I want at any time without suffering the least bit afterwards. Since the gas has stopped forming on my stomach I can walk any distance, in fact, I am walk ing nearly all the time every day and never sufter any more from palpitation or shortness of breath. I have also gotten entirely rid of the headaches, as well as the pain in my back, and my kidneys are in fine shape. I sleep like a child every night and I never have that tired feeling any more, although I am going all the time. To put it all in a few words, I was never in better health than I am right now and words cannot express the gratitude I really feel for what Tanlac has done for me. It has been a godsend to me." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. MINSTRELS COME TO OAKS special Programmes to Be Given by Company of Aegroes.

Persons Between Ages of 18 and 18 1'ears to Attend School on Employers' Time. SALEM. Or., July 16. (Special.) Plans are now being- formulated by State Superintendent Churchill to put into elject throughout Oregon the law passed at the last session of the state legislature requiring persons between the ages of 18 and IS years who are employed and have not received an eighth-grade education to attend what will be known as part-time schools. Superintendent Churchill says thia department of education was discussed quite thoroughly at the recent, meeting of the National Education association held at Milwaukee and it was the gen-' eral consensus of opinion among edu cators that it will be a success. Probably the most important factor entering into the successful operation of the part-time schools, according to Mr. Churchill, will be the selection of teachers. Because of the fact that per sons affected by the law will not have to attend school more than an hour each day. it will be necessary to ob tain instructors who are able to get into close contact with their pupils and decide what studies are best adapted to their training. Mr. Churchill says Americanism will be one of the chief fundamentals upon which the school will be conducted and a determined effort will be made to give persons with limited education such training as will fit them for bet ter positions. -The law. which had the special sup port of labor, provides that in all dis tricts where there are 15 persons eli gible for this training the school boards must furnish the proper equipment and employ teachers to carry on the work. The act provides al?o that pupils at tending this school will do so on their employers time. It is Mr. Churchill's opinion that practically every first-class district in Oregon will be affected by the law. A soon as convenient the btate superin tendent will urge upon county super intendents the necessity of surveying their respective Jurisdictions with a view of determining whether they come nnder the provisions of the nt-tv law. In districts where the required -lumber of pupils are found, making ihu part time schools necessary, an effort .will be made to have them in operation con current with the opening of the fail term of the public educational institutions.
