Budgetstand special expenditures o(
the .fWs 4 transcontinental lines serving
. the Northwest have been announced and
these with the budgets and special ex
pendltures planned by three local rati
lines amount to 127.700,000.
Regular annnal expenditures for pur
chase of supplies In ths two states will
be swelled to a slightly higher level than
at any time during the past decade and
railroad officials estimate . that these
. supplies will cost $19,000,000 during 1922.
, 17.IM SEW BOXCARS ,
i The five transcontinental lines and ths
f'actf la Fruit Express company have an
nounced the construction, of 17.054 new
wooden cars, the timber for which will
; all be drawn from the Northwest and
will cost approximately 11,627,000,
But the expenditures are not ' con
fined to lines directly Connected .with
, Orea-on and : Washington cities, - since
numerous Eastern lines are coming to
the Northwest market for ties and mle
" eelianeous lumber. Orders are already
in sight for this marks to the sum of
, 115,000,000. , . ? .. : v,x, ;:
Though these Items do not Include no-
r tntlal porchas of mora supplies by
l.aat.rn linea r' money to.be expended
tn short tins developments throughout
ths , to states, they total 190.l27.OO,
This ts ths investment the railroads will
make for improvements and betterments.
This sum does not Include wages or
taxes,' which annually amount to many
' millions ,or dollars.
' FAITH 15 XORTHtTlST.
These figures offer concluslvs proof
: that the railroads have faith In tha fu
ture development' ot "the , Northwest
country. The, resulu from these vast
expendltarea will be manifold and will
mark a new sra ot development and ln
aunt ry in tha two states.
1 Through ths building of new terminals.
new bridges and lines into vast Umber
tracts the railroad officials express the
convlctloa that heavier trade will de-
, velop In (this territory and through the
adoption of more modern facilities, such
as automatic electric control on - the
Oregon JHlectrio and elimnlatton. of du-
plicate service, such as abandonment ot
one of tha jpeschtttes river lines, a more
progressive and better cooperative form
Of operation has been brought about.
v I But even mors Important than de
velopment of new trdv adoption ot
mors progreslv pollftes and formula
jtlon of a cooperative spirit Is th entry
of the rail line into ths Northwest lum-
bar markt with orders closely approxi
mating 123,000.0001. Timber operators
and lumber men see In this phase new
prosperity: for the Northwest, which Is

Portland has a ghost mystery that tor
thrills may rival that ot th Nova Scotia
farm, where "Bperrita" braided horses'
tail and- spread terror among the neigh-
bora, i e t ' r
Portland's "ghost"" is out in Brent
wood, suburb on tha southeastern fringe
of the city. And this Brentwood ghost
Is a trouble-maker of the first rank.
SAPPING S OX SOOKS
' H. N. Wellcome and his wife, Mrs.
Margie Wellcome, rented ; a four-room
house in. Brentwood three weeks ago.
Two weeka ago ; they ' noticed strange
rapping on tha walla and on th doors.
These ' rapplngg continued for several
nights, until '(he newcomer began ' io
worry. " '
They were not the only one who were
disturbed. Neighbors commented.' In
aggrieved fashion, on the occurrences.
The .explanation of the occupants of the
house that the rapping cam from the
outside wa disputed by the other resi-
aents ot the district. , - t
5EIGHBOB3 TAKE ACTIOJC
, One neighbor suggested ' that Mrs.
Wellcome was a medium and in the habit
f communing with snjrits. pthers were
qirick to approve the idea aa probable.,
; ITiO fires of suspicion smouldered; On
Friday a -flelegation f hall hundred,
headed by . John ' Brown, real estate
Sealer, waited on Mr. and Mrs. Well
come and proposed ' that the two either
etofi - the rapping definitely or. move
away .trom Brentwood." '

Wellcome enlisted. the aid of George
K. Wcodley, attorney, and the two cat
up and kept vigil Friday night.: Alt was
quiet until S a, nw when brief rapping,
origin undetermined, were heard.
On Saturday Wellcome placed his wife,
by that time tn a highly, nervous state,
under the care of a physician, and asked
help of the police. On Saturday a party
Including Wellcome, Woodley, Deputy
Sheriff Beeman other deputiesr and. a
representative of The Journal, went to
the scene i)t the ghostly visitations. , y

Up to midnight Saturday nothing hap
pened,. ' Deputy Sheriff ..Beeman, how
ever, advanced an - interesting theory.
Several complaint of bootlegging - have
been made from Brentwood, said Bee
man, and he thought it possible that the
large: hole under the Wellcome home
might have been used as a hiding place
of moonshine whiskey, and that the pur
veyors of the liquor might be desirous
of regaining their caches,-' -
