Director General of Railroads Walter D. Hlnes, who is -.In San Francisco to discuss ra road rates with shippers, Thursday In an address before' the Commonwealth club, defended the government control of railroads and said that -the govern ment is not responsible for the present tangle of railroads. i Had the railroads been operated under private ownership the, cost of operation would have' mounted Just ; as : high, ac cording to Hinea. who said that the war produce! conditions that naturally led . w .. J.1.I4 I While defending the federal govern ment control of railroads, the director general indicated that they are to be turned back to private ownership. He favors private operation, but believes mai control win rest in ine nanas ox the federal government.

QUICKLY RAISES ITS STOCK SHOW QUOTA Forty Citizens Come to Front to Help - Out Livestock Stock V Exposition Building. Although Hood River has practically no livestock interests at all, on account of its great and all-absorbing . apple growing Industry, yet upward. of 40 citl sens of that section have shown' keen interest In the Pacific International Livestock exposition's big project for a permanent stock show center for the whole Northwest at Portland, and have subscribed for stock in the Important development project. Leslie Butler of the Butler Banking company of Hood River, who ' voluntar ily underwrote Hood River county's quota of $1000 at the opening of the campaign, called at the office of - Gen eral Manager O. M. Plummer Thursday morning and reported that, the entire amount had been subscribed by 40 citi zens, each of whom took 2& worth of stock, and that there was an oversub scription of $50, with assurances that more stock would cheerfully: be taken If this is needed for the financing of the iroject. . There was no difficulty at all in raising this quota," said Mt. Butler. "All our citizens recognize the fact that what helps one Industry inevitably helps the comn,u..ity as a whole, and that the livestock industry Is one of the greatest and most important to be developed in Oregon and the whole Northwest. They were all glad to cooperate, and even after, we had closed up our little cam paign ws had applications-for stock from men who had never been solicited but wanted to help along the cause. One man f rem Parkdale insisted on taking a share of -tock and said his community really felt slighted, because it had not oeen rr .iea to coninoute. iz mere should be a shortage in subscriptions irom otner parts or the state, Hood River can be relied upon to help out further. We want that permanent ex position -snter plan to go through, for the good or Oregon and the whole Northwest," , Mr. Plummer was at Bend, attend ing the meeting of Eastern ' Oregon cat tle and stock men there. The big stock selling drive will be continued as soon as the Victory, loan campaign Is over. 1 . Conversion Is Alleged Oregon City, April 25.

Finally an automobile forced its way through .the crowd and a white haired ma nof serene face descended and en tered the - corridor moving: toward the hall. The people crowded " about him. Breathlessly the question came from every lip, "has any settlement been re ceived?" Premier Orlando halted and spoke rapidly, "Not if they had granted ail we asked, could We have accepted to day," he said, 'It has become a Question of principle." There was a note of deep felt injury and offended pride in his voice. A cheer broke from the crowd. It was noticeable that the conservative jour nalists cheered together. A woman pressed into Orlando's hand a bunch of flowers from the Italian women of Dal matla, and he walked into the hall with the flowers in his hands, where he stood among his fellow Italians.

W ... The American delegates deeply regret what has happened, but they believe that the president is absolutely right In his Italian stand. One delegate said to me at midnight last night : , , , V - '"Premier Orlando ;is one of the finest men in the conference. ; He has always seemed to be broadminded and liberal and has stood by us straight through until i the present crisis. I am awfully sorry to see, him leave. . .: i:; ITALIANS - ARE G BIETED ' The Italians are equally grieved. They are equally; sure they are right and in addition they : are deeply wounded in their r personal pride by President Wil son's appeal to the people over the bead of the government. Persons ; around American headquar ters who insisted all; daythat Italy was still bluffing now. emphasize the state ment that this is no actual break and that Orlando merely is going tot Italy to consult the. parliament, but the Italians say. they ..have, actuallyjwithdrawn from the conference, although they make clear that they will adhere to the al liance.
