Hick, former traveling passenger (ftot of tba O.-W. R. N. Comptij. who received pro motion several days ago to tba post of special representative of tba operating department. Mr. Illcka new duttaa ara to super vise the speedier load ins of cara and study freight traSle conditlona wttb a lew to obtaining maximum efficiency from tba equipment available, buggee tloaa adopted and found practicable in one division are passed oa to others and car economy tdeaa are sought for constantly. Iwia asseetleaa Adapted. Vuir suggestions have been for warded In tbe past few months by the War Board at Washington to the Tail- roads and have been placed with gent. In his trips Mr. Hicks has found that many of tbeae have been adopted and tbat others, equally pro rtuctlve of car saving;, have been orlg-lotted. Antlnuated outfit cars, such aa are tiled to transport company supplies over short haul, have been remodeled ani repaired and placed in active com mission on branch lines, thus releasing other equipment for service on the main lines of the "O.-W. It. ex X. Com pany. Instructions have been given to ship pers to load cars to full capacity" when practicable. In Instancea where ship pers have failed to comply tba com pany baa refused to supply them with any further cara until they agree to the wartime requirements. Care Carry Bis; Leads. Mr. Hicks id that In Instances where freight oars have broken down car repairers have been sent out on gasoline speeders and the repairs made Immediately In order to save the car hours tbat a trip to the shops would demand. Indicative of tbe way cara ara being loaded ander the new retime ara In stancea like the loading of 10J sacks of potatoea on one car at La. Orande. when the minimum rapacity, or the amount required, is SO sack. Authority has been gtven by the gen eral freight agent of the O.-W. R. N. Company to "double load" cars wherever this arrangement can be made. Thus. If two consignments suf- j Bctently small are to be sent to one town or two adjacent towns, one car suffices for both and a direct saving of one ear for other service Is effected. At La Grande, reports Mr. Hicks, em ployes of the O.-W. R. A J. have strung Too fret of electric wiring over their storage coal bunkers. In order that company coal may be unloaded at tilsht and coal cars released without nnnecessary delay for other duty. When company material In quantity Is to arrive at La Grande the force which unloads It Is aucmented by sec tion crews, which are called In by spe cial, order, and additluuai car boura ara saved. 5 n Ti jmeainiaini Great' E .-. ,La, ..
