Train were running late on nearly every division east of the Mississippi river. Coastwise shipping, a necessary linjr in th railroad transportation chain. was demoralized, traffic being com pletely tied up in some instances. These conditions, Mr. Hines said have been further complicated by th spread of influenza among railroao employes. The New York Central lines alone, reported today more than 2,000 employes 111. ' Maintenance of passenger sched ules has been in trejyingly difficult trains being forced to reduce speed to avoid accidents and plow through snow drifts. Tracks i have been washed away in many places. lieporfs from the, middle west in dicate improvement in traffic move ment, although it is ttill admittedly slow. Recent storms which covered the territory from the Canadian bor der as far south as Kansas and Col orado wrought havoc with the whole transportation system but abatement of the storm has permitted mainte nance and repair work to be re sumed. Delayed trains, however tied up hundreds of cans of freight and the extra burden of movin? them out. it was explained, had de layed shipments benerally to sonnl extent.

Other prizes have been provided for. in cluding a large number .of prizes t3 eb awarded to Oregon boys and girls by newspapers, business and mer cantile houses and others. It is with pleasure I lnd my en dorsement to this plan. It is a move which will develop a higher sense of aptriotism not only in our boys and girls, but in our adults, as well. ror this reason I call upon the teachers In the public schools of the state to set aside a portion of Friday. Febru ary 20. 1920. as a time in which es says on this subject are to be writ ten by school children In the class rooms of the schools of the state I trust tnat every teacher win see that the keenest interest Is manifest ed in this plan for the promotion of patriotism and the protection Of our nation and its homes.'"
