L Teal to Intervene for the state of Oregon in the case of the federal government to dissolve the Southern Pacific aad Central Pacific railroads. 'The appointment carries no salary and was made upon request of the transportation committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Governor "West and the three mem bers ef the state railroad commission, F. J. Miller. T. K. Campbell and Clyde B. Aitehlson, were present at a spe cial meeting of the committee yester day afternoon, and when the commit tee passed , a . resolution protesting against tie government's prosecution, the chief executive took immediate ac tion. Governor West leaves today for Washington, D. C, and Immediately after adjournment ef the meeting, he and Mr. Teal conferred and outlined a course of procedure. At the meeting of the committee, which was presided over by A.' , H. Devers, chairman, were besides most of It members, a number of prominent business men, all of whom' agreed that to dissolve the roads would prove a serious blow to commerce and In dustries of Oregon. Following an exhaustive explanation of the conditions and the relation of th two roads by Mr. Teal Walter F. Burrell drew a resolution for the transportation committee urgingj.the state to intervene. The motion to adopt was seconded by former United States Senator F. W. Mulkey and car- r!ed unanimously. ? AU who spoke on the question, In cludfng the members of the state rail road commission, expressed the opinion that the peculiar position of the two affiliated railroads . places ' them In a situation - .where dissolution - would mean a physical separation that would break; the continuity of the transporta tion facilities of th western part of the state. . - ; ,-. . - The tenttntTmoii&vm&hiic (Concluded on Page Elg-ht, Column Two Good Samaritan Is Well Repaid Jam Hemenway Becelvea Cheok fox '; 9300 and Offer of Position in Betnrn ' f or Favor to " "Pown-andOnter.'' --' Kugene, Or., Feb. 28.
