BALEM. Or.. Sept. . (Special.) Ac
tion on the part of railroad administra
tion officials to prevent what appears
to be the beginning of car shortage
throughout the state is urged in tele
grams sent yesterday to H. V. Piatt and
K. H. Knickerbocker, general manager
and superintendent of the Oregon Short
Line railroad, by members of the pub
lic service commission.
Complaints from many sections of the
state have been received by the com
mission, the latest coming from Crane,
Harney county, where it is said sev
eral shipments of cattle and sheep are
held up for lack of cars.
In a telegram received by the com
mission yesterday in reply to a mes
sage of protest sent to Mr. Knicker
bocker, at Tocatello, Idaho, the latter
admitted that his railroad lacks 600
double-deck and 200 single-deck cars
to fill orders already on file. He says,
however, that the cars ordered at Crane
will be supplied within the next few
days.
Reports from officials of the South
ern Pacific company also indicate
similar shortage of cars. Yesterday the
company lacked 244 closed and 14S open
cars to fill its orders, and it is believed
this number will be increased as the
crops begin to move.
To relieve present conditions and pre
vent future shortage of cars. R. H.
Aishton. regional director of railroads,
has sent to the commission a letter
urging that shippers load their cars to
capacity, and that recipients of these
shipments unload them promptly in
order that they may be returned to
service.
Members of the commission are giv
ing the widest publicity to the car
shortage situation, and ask the co-op
eration of the public to the end tha
more serious conditions may be pre
vented.

CO-
Scarcity Held Largely Due to Live
stock Shipments East.
Yesterday the shortage of freight
cars, including flats and open cars.
was S04 on the Oregon-Washington
lines anfl 452 on the Southern Pacific
Oregon lines. On the western Oregon
lines the principal demand is for cars
to move lumber and forest products,
including box snooks, for which there
is pressing need in orchard districts.
On the Oregon-Washington the great
est shortage is for stock cars.
This condition is attributed to heavy
shipments of livestock to eastern mar
kets, which absorb stock cars as rapidly
as they can be supplied. It is also, in
a measure, due to generally lighter
loading of cars this year than last
condition which the regional director
has urged shippers to guard against.
ir the loading at present were as
heavy per, car as last year, the car
shortage would be almost entirely
eliminated, according to figures fur
nished by R. H. Aishton. regional di
rector in the northwest.
There is a great increase in the bulk
shipment of grain from the inland em
pire this year, and this requires cars
of the best type. The bulk movement
is expected to be double that of last
year.

ator to Take Physical Examina
