Wa pay you to do your own daltvartng In keeping with hU policy for the economical administration of railways. the director general has Issued an order that allows but one membership for each road in the United States Chamber of Commerce. The annual membership fee is limited to $25. It Is also ordered, that no funds be expended by railroads to promote In' dustrlal development along their lines. Limited man power consequent to the government's military operations, makes this order necessary, uya Kegionai Director Aishton. The roads are allowed to expend an amount equal to that spent In 1917 for agricultural development, but are urged to act In close touch with the department agriculture, in all such work. It in nnriRldered fortunate bv local railway officials that agricultural de velopment work, by the roads in Oregon and Washington, is to continue, as their efforts along this line have been of great assistance to the farmers and have result much needed cereals, and other crops. Inquiry is also made by the director general, as to the expense of publishing magazines andSther periodicals by the reads, and the advantages which result from their publication. This Inquiry it is said, may lead to the elimination of another expense, but officials and em ployes of all Portland lines, express the hoD that monthly magaslnes and bulletins of their companies will be allowed to continue publication Two Soldier Sons Survive Dallas, Or., May ll.-Jullus Essig, axed 7D years, who died May 7, was born In Germany, but came to this country 62 years ago.
