THREATENS VEST,

STATES
toUJ 1911. which win ba needed to
supply the order which will be placed
during that period.
- The necessities of the present, re
quire that every effort be. made by
shippers to promptly load and unload
equipment delay will only increase
the seriousness of the situation.
Olympia, Wash,. Oct. 10. There is
an extreme shortage of box cars in the
state of Washington and the West
generally," declared Director of Public
Works E. V- Kuykendall yesterday in a
statement on the car situation. 'The
department of public works has "done
and is doing everything in Its power
to remedy the situation. We have felt
for some time , that an extreme car
shortage was developing and have so
advised shippers.
'The situation is due to a combina
tion of causes, among which are the
railroad strike, resulting in lack of
mechanical help in restoring bad order
cars to service ; large freight offerings
in timber.- fruits and grain, and par
ticularly the extra large crop of wheat
In Montana, most of which has thus
far been moving eastward.
WHEAT CHOP FACTOR
"The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
and the Great Xorthern railroads have
recently filed an export grain rate
and the Northern Pacific will file such
a rate very soon, which will tend to
bring Montana wheat to Seattle and
Tacoma for .export, making many more
box cars available for Kastern load
ing: "This step has been urged for some
time by this departtnent and. should
he instrumental in bringing some re
lief. The export rale ia a reduction
of 7 cents .per hundred from the Mid
dle Montana wheat belt to the coast,
applying on wheat destinedd for ex
Irt." FAIL TO EETCEX CARS
Other reasons given by the rail
roads for car shortage on the coast
are the large Western movements of
freight through the Panama canal and
the failure of the extreme Eastern
roads to return; empty cars 'to the
transcontinental lines.
It is claimed that , for every five
loaded cars sent east- only about one
empty is returned. Supervisor, of
Transportation Frank R. Spinning was
sent,' to Washington. P. C, sever'al
weekja ago to obtain refrigerator cars
for fruit shipments and he met with
remarkable success, considering the
general situation.
O. 'O. Calderhead, traffic expert for
the department, is now in Washing
ton, D. C, doing everything possible
to aid the state in securing equipment.
In. a wire received this mornins from
him he holds out little hope for re
Sieving the situation except through
, the export grain rates.
The American Raifway association
has not been able to aid materially in
securing box cars for the Northwest.
Director Kuykendall stated.
SITUATION DETAILED
The car situation is as follows--the
figures being from data compiled from
reports submitted by the carriers to
the department and cover box ars
alone, up to October 5 :
For the territory west of the jIon
tana-Idaho line there are. 3358 ; cars
ordered and 430 cars available, of ap
proximately 15 per cent of cars or
dered. Cars which will be mane avail
able within the next few days only

He served in the navy during the World

Formation of ara extensive state de
velopment program providing for
vigorous encouragement of cooperative
marketing associations, for thorough
organization of , land settlement and
for an annual publicity fund of $100,-1 projects.
000 is being made by the Chamber of
Commerce with- the cooperation of all
active state bodies.
This activity was admitted today
by W. D. B. Dodson, general manager
of the chamber, upon his return from
the annual convention of the Oregon
Irrigation pongress' at Bend. As a
member of the Oregon Development
board Dodson outlined the basic prin
ciples of this plan to the congress,
which passed upon the program.
PROGRAM NEARLT BEADY
Dodson .revealed in his address to
the congress that the chamber has
been active on a state development
program and said today that a special
committee has had the program under
consideration for several weeks and
had passed upon practically all details.
The tentative report is to be placed
before the board of directors of the
organization soon for final action.
Cooperative marketing is the initial
feature of this tentative program. Ex
tension of aid to existing cooperative
marketing organizations, help in the
organization of new cooperative asso
ciations, provision of an educational
association of producers and standard
ization and inspection of all products,
are main points under this section.
The land settlement part of the pro
gram would have the entire state com
mit itself to the success of all reclama
tion projects. The committee has gone
into this subject carefully and advise
provision of ways and means to place
the bonds of reclamation districts on a
higher selling; level.
BTSI3TESS 8E3mMB2fT
Under the land settlement plans the
chamber would use the influence of the
business sentiment in retting surplus
lands offered at a proper price, organ
ise selling methods and provide ex
pert advice to the new settlers. Ar
rangements for fair financial aid also
woud be an important part of this
work.
Aa appraisal committee is urged to
deal with the land valuation problem
of both existing and new reclamation
For general settlement work
the committee urges listing of all avail
able lands through the aid of existing
county commercial organizations, crea
tion of an appraisal board, making of
accurate soil surveys and perfection of
effective marketing systems.
The chamber committee expressed
itself in favor of immediate action In
the raising of a publicity fund of 850,
000 to be offered with an equal amount
appropriated by the state for a 1100,000
a year campaign over si protracted
period.
BOARD TO COSTEOL
Control of this fund should be placed
in the necessary state board to be
chosen by the governor and people put

gram to each erganization.- The plan

organizations be utilized in carrying

WASCO DEATH
Th Dalles. Oct. 10. Evidence taken
at tUe coroner's inquest here late Mon
day (to inquire, in to the .death of Claude
Dertiche, fatally injured in an auto
mobile accident Sunday night, devel
oped along such peculiar lines that Jay
Saltxman. traffic officer for the state
highway "commission, asked for a con
tinuance until Deroche's employer, A.
M. McNab, rancher of Sherman county,
could be summoned. "Erie car that
Deroche was driving while - apparently
stolen from McXab's place, la said to
have had but one license plate, the
other being on McNab's other automo
bile. Evidence was introduced purport
ing to show that McNab had been
operating both' cars on one license,, us
ing one plate on each machine.
Deroche. it developed, had been go
ing under the name of Jack Love to
eKipe apprehension as a deserter from
the army. He was- 31 years pld and
had been employed for some time by
McNab and while the latter was ab
sent Sunday: Is said- to have stolen an
automobile which McNab rarely used.
The machine had no lights. Sunday
evening an automobile containing half
a dozen men, all of whom were ar
rested later, passed Deroche and his
machine stalled on top of the three
mile grade road, a few miles southeast
of The ' Dalles. H. Seaman ; of i"The
Dalles, one of ' the passengers 1ft the
other car, got out and1 helped Deroche
start his .machine. The engine re
sponded so quickly that Seaman barely
escaped being struck: -and be was; un
able to .ride on as -had been planned.
He walked down the road instead and.
reaching a sharp curve, glanced over
in the ravine to see Derocbe's car. up
right on fits wheels 20 jfeet below, j
Seaman climbed down and found, De
roche pinned underneath. " Aid twas
summoned and Deroche was taken to
the locaT hospital, where he died at
midnight. Seaman and others said De
