A wonderfully good ticket bus
iness is reported from the Oregon
Electric beginning on Thursday.
The sales were good enough to
make it look as if the war was
still on and there were shipyards
at both ends of the line and every
body travelling both ways. The
rush was still continuing Monday,
the sales from the Salem office
being still almost as good as just
before Christmas. The bad
weather made the 'regular" steel
rail lines especially popular.
The best travel in many years
is reported from the Southern
Pacific passenger department.
They have kept the trains crowd
ed, both ways, to such an extent
that most of them have been run
ning double, two sections and all
crowded at that. The car windows
have looked like movie pictures
of the starving Near Easters go-
ins somewhere to be fed, hundreds
and thousands of them, clutter

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 25.
The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of the Tug Cornell,
missing for four days, remained
unsolved tonight, and for the first
time It was conceded by vessel
men that the tng, with its crew
of eight, probably had gone down.
Four tugs which spent Christmas
cruising Lake Erie, late today re
ported they failed to find any
trace of the missing vessel.
The Cornell, thoroughly dried
out by more than a season of in
activity had taken fire, and the
crew had sacrificed its chances of
escape by remaining too long to
fight the flames, was the explan
ation most commonly suggested by
Cleveland vesselmen tonight.
Ji. B. Shaver, superintendent of
th government air field here.
todav received orders from the
postmaster general to enlist all
air mail machines in the search
for the Cornell.

Vsum is Sensational
The third and last Mountaineer
score came in the third period
"when a 16-yard forward pass,
Nardaccl to Simon, placed the ball
over the goal line. Ekberg kick
ed goal for the try for the point.
Both Gonzaga touchdowns came
in the last period. Stockton of
Gonzaga sent a short pass to
Bross, who ran 55 yards through
a broken Mountaineer team for a
touchdown.
A series of passes averaging 10
to 20 yards carried the ball to the
two-yard line. Bross made the
second touchdown, slipping past
center. Stockton kicked goal and
the game ended soon afterward.
