HELP IN RELIEVING
SHORTAGE OF
IS
Special Appeal Is Made by
the Interstate Commerce
Commission,
An appeal from the Interstate com
merce commission, addressed to ship
pers and consignees, for cooperation
with railroads in the elimination ot car
shortage, has been received by the
Southern Pacific company. It Is signed
by George 13. ilcGlnty, secretary of
the commission. The communication
follows:
Reports axe being received by the
commission indicating that a 'car
shortaKe" ls again threatened, caused
In part by the heavy movements of
grain at this season of the year.
The commission, therefore takes this
opportunity of again bringing to the
attention of the carriers and shippers
the necessity for close supervision of
the methods of loading, unloading and
moving of cars, so a to secure the
fullest possiible use of available equip
ment. Shippers should endeavor to secure
the prompt and full loading of cars,
and consignees their prompt unloading
and release. v
The commission feels justified in
urging upon shippers and consignees
that they shall not tine cars for fctorage
purposes, but should endeavor to re
lease them as promptly as possible,
and not avail themselves of tho full
limit of free time provided by the tar
iffs. Carriers should also make every en
deavor to eliminate delays and expedite
the movement of shipments. Cars
should be promptly returned to the
home line, company material promptly
unloaded, and cloee supervision given
to operations at terminals.
Individual shippers and their associ
ations and the carriers should cooper
ate in- order that the delays and losses
consequent to a shortage of car may,
so far as possible, be avoided.

THOROUGH STUDY OF

Or. E. Ziester Joa.es Bays Cout Kaa

Immediate undertaking of a study of
currents along the Pacific coast is an
nounced by Dr. E. Lester Jones of
Washington, D. C, superintendent of i
the United States coast and geodetio
survey, who arrived in Portland on of
ficial business this morning.
"The Pacific coast has been some
what neglected in this regard." said
Dr. Jones at the oHtel Portland, "but
congress has given us a more liberal
allowance for the study of currents
; this year some 111.720 as compared
i to $5600 last year and the greater
! portion of this sum will go to Pacific
'.'No adequate study of currents or
tides can be made In a short space of
time, for the study must go over an ex
tended period to be able to ascertain
If there is a recurrence of conditions.
"I cannot say so with a knowledge
l!
of the facts but it is possible that
the currents had something to do with
the recent wrecking of the ' steamor
Bear, and there is no doubt but that
the many wrcks that have taken
place on this coast have been due in
part at least to currents."
Dr. Jones is here to make an in
spection of the Columbia river from
the viewpoint of the coast and geode
tic survey and to Inspect work being
done at Pendleton and La. Orande.
"The coast and geodetio survey,"
said he, "is charged with hydrography,
a science which has to do with the
surveying of water bodies, and geod
esy, or the measurement of the
earth's surface.
"In eastern Oregon we are engaged
In trlangulatlon work, finding funda
mental centers. Our work there at
the present time is at Gunpowder
mountain. By use of bench marks
fixed by the survey great aid is given
the public In irrigation and other de
velopment projects."
Problems Constantly Growing.
Dr. Jones Is a warm admirer of the
Pacific coast and particularly of Ore
gon. "I should like to stay here a
month," he eaW. "but my business
won't let me. This Is my eighth trip
to the coaat but my family is here for
the first time." He Is accompanied
by Mrs. Jones and the Misses Ellz a
betn and Cecii jone.
Dr. Jonfs attaches particular im
portance to surveys being made In Alas
kan waters by use of the wire drag
for pinnacle rocks. "The wire drag
is enabling us to find these rocks
where previously ordinary soundings
did not reveal their presence. Once
found, these sharp spiral danger rocks
are marked by a buoy and channels
are made correspondingly safer," he
explained.
"The problems of the coast and geo
detic survey are constantly growing,"
he said. "We have 103,000 mile of
coast line to Look after, to survey
and watch for changes, the Philippines
and Hawaii and our other possessions
as well. The influence of nature
