SEEK FOR BELIEF
Will Petition Railroad Commis
sion to Order Back Cars
Taken From Trains , in ; a
Spirit of Economy.' . . ;
Patrons of the Oregon City Interurpan
line of the Portland Railway, Light A
1'pwer company will appeal to, the state
railroad commission this week to give
them relief , from hew - rules , ? cutting
tlown the number of cars Jn Oregon City
trains. . These rules went Into effect
yesterday wtth the opening of the Haw
thorne bridge. , ...
Heretofore, In the morning and even.
In g rush hours, the Oregon City trains
have consisted of three cars. .. Yester
day, however, the third car was ordered
off and the passengers ordinarily crowd
ed into three cars weer packed Into two,
while the wages of one conductor were
aved. ,:: v;f ;'.v ".-'; '. . v
Even with three cars, patrons of the
line say, there were always some who
were unable to secure seats and who
had to stand in the aisles and on the
platforms. There was never any fear
the third car might lag superfluous, the
commuters assert But now all those
who formerly took the three car train
have to be crowded, as best they can,
into two cars. The result is that these
two cars are packed to the utmost,
while people are compelled to hang on
wherever they can, or wait for later
Cars. : ; ,).'-, , ;
An Indication of how the new system
works to the, advantage Of the company
occurred this morning as the train due
to reach Portland at 7:50 was about to
cross the Hawthorne bridge. It Is nec
essary, owing to the close quarters on
the bridge, to close the vestibule doors
on -all cars. , The conductors, because
of! the packed cars, were unable to move
a step to reach the vestibules and had
to shoot directions to passengers to
does the doors. They also had to im
press passengers Into the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power company's service
at every stop to learn whether the steps
were clear or not so as to give the start
lnsr ben. ' ." ' '" ",' " ''. v v ,;'
The new orders ent the extra ear from
n early morning trains excepting Mon
day, when It la necessary to haul cars
back that were carried to Oregon City
the day previous. ,".-.
however, was struck by the falling mass
of brick and crushed to deatn.
. The debris fell squarely upon the fire
men, who could not leap out of danger.
It was at first reported that all of them
had been killed. .
The other companies working at the
fire rushed to the' aid of ", their com
rades and removed them from the wreck
age. One man was dead and JO others
were severely lnitjred. Some of these,
it 1a believed, cannot recover. s. i

while Mr. Kruttschnltt had been quoted

' "The. company is building 30 miles of
Jroad from Natron and an equal distance
of road from Klamath Falls,", said Mr.
O'Brien,; "with the understanding that
ithese wo sections are to be ready for
service by June 30, 1911. There still
Temains a large gap, however, and as it
will call for very heavy construction
through a mountainous section, it will
take a year or possibly It months to ex

conference . with the general managers
of the lines - affected. V this : Inornlng.
This afternoon ; he , wilt . confer "with
Grand Chief Stone. , It U on the result
of this conference that the engineers'
action Is expected to be hased.; i
i The conferences began here December
12. Since then the representatives of
the engineers and of the general mana
gers have been negotiating, but accord
ing to the railroad men they : are no
nearer a settlement today' than they
were when it was 1 first ' announced
that mfre than 95 per cent: of the engi
neers had voted to strike unless an In
crease of , 17 per, cent in wages was
granted. , '
Deelsioa Vast Come Today. :- i
"Unions Commissioner Neill Is able
to' report something definite to me this
afternoon," continued 8tone, ftwe are
going to act. The delay is intolerable.
The best the railroads have: offered us
so far is an advance of per cent.
This was, of course, refused. All jthe
other offers the roads have made In re
gard to the questions at issue have also
been rejected." . '
The advisory board of the Brother
hood of Engineers has been hastily
sifmmoned.to Chicago and following the
declaration .of Stone that, "decisive ac-
Uon" Is to be token, it la believed the
engineers are planning to take a firm
Stand. - ' ;' ' . ' f
v "I am doing what I can to prevent
trouble," , said Commissioner NelU be
fore his conference with the managers
today. "I cannot at this time discuss
the progress of the negotiations."
Some of the members of the advisory
board arrived today, and the remainder,
It 1 expected, will be here In time for
a night session. ' The- railroad repre
sentatives are not worried, apparently,
by this move. i '
"Stone is just bluffing,'!' said One of
the railroad officials. "He. does not in
tend to order any strike." t
TODAlT SHORTEST '
; IN WHOLE YEAR
Only .Eight and Six Tenths
Hours of Daylight Because '
v Sun Farthest South.
Today Is the shortest day In the year.
There are Just eight and six-tenths
hours of daylight, because the sun at
present is farthest south. For the last
six days the period of daylight has been
approximately of the same length and
for the ' next " five days there will be
little difference. 1 After that you win
begin to notice dawn peeping Into your
room just a little earlier day, by, day.
providing cruel necessity forces you to
rise at a seasonable hour. ,
"The most significant' fact about to
day," said Weather Observer Beals this
morning, "is contained in the proverb:
"'As the days begin to lengthen the
cold begins to strengthen.' '
The American Encyclopedia explains
the difference In the periods of daylight
as follows:-. -. . -. -'
. 'The solar day. In consequence of the
varying rapidity of the earth In its orbit
and the obliquity of "the ecliptic is dif
ferent at different times, and this dif
ference Is uniform throughout the' year,
but the time of natural day (or period
of light), is different at the different
points of the earth, according to their
distance from the eqnator.
"The daily revolution of the sun takes
place In circles parallel to the, equator.
If the equator and the ecliptic coincided
the circle bounding light and darkness
would always divide, not merely the
equatorm, but all Its parallels, into two
equal parts, and the days and nights
would be equal in all the parallels of
the year; but at the poles there would
be no light.
"Owing to the Inclination 'of the
earth's axis to the plane of its orbit
(the ecliptic) the . parallel of, latitude
in which the sun appears to be moving
Is continually changing, and therefore
the equator alone (being a great circle)
always remains bisected by the circle
dividing light from darkness; so tha
the days and nights here are always
equal; while the parallels of latitude,
not being great circles, are not equally
divided by the circle separating light
from darkness, except at the time of the
equinox, when the sun is moving in the
equator; and, of course, only at this
time are the days and nights equal In
those parallels, r As you - approach the
poles the inequality between the days
and nights becomes greater, till, at the
poles themselves a day of six .months
alternates with a night of equal' dura
tion."'.. ;'v , ., ,

La Grande, .Or., Dec 21. Crippled,
