Page Two THE REGISTER. GtJABD, EUGENE, OREGON U.S..STATES FLYNN "Rsllroads ere doing a g"d ' tlce, they are very useful and neces sary, and will become more au aa the years go by and they have con tinued to improve their service, equip ment and properties. As we emerge Iroin Ibis 'jasi oge' we shall more nnd more realise the railways nre not 'be hind the times," but bave continued to march ahead under full stentn under more aevere handicaps than perhaps any other American industry," declar ed Edward K. Flynn. St. Paul, Minn., assistant to the general counsel ami director of public relations of the Great Northern Itailway company, in a talk before the Kugene Itotary club, Tuesday noon. Mr. h'lynn, also has held many lmportsnt offices in the Itotary International. "The Jlailronda March Ahead" was the general topic for his address. The railways bnvo no apologies to ofler for their position In the transpurln tion field- they are tha thorough breds of transposition and no auhsidy blood runs through their veins and they are still the ar teries of transportation, Mr. Flynn told his listeners. "They provide the transportation life blood of the na tion, truck or no true, liallwujs pay tneir own way and pay well, whether It is lor the services of their employ es of (or tha commodities or durable Kooda Iner purchase in such large amouuta in the operation of their far flung lines," he added. Mr. Flyno. then apent pome time dUruss:i.g the innny improvements on tho railways, bucL ns air conditioning. Unto, and farea arc lower, and nl'ieit the private automo bile has taken away from the railways practlcilly two-thirda of Uie railways' passengers, "yet the railways of Uie TJnitcd States have reduced tho aver ago raveiue per passenger inilo flora 8.0U8 cents In 11)21 to 1.1)1 centi in 1035, or more than S3 per cent," the speaker atnted, Inudustry One of Great ; The rnjlrond Industry is one of the nation'4 greatest industries, ho told . the club; and went on to quote fig urea to show thnt the railways, in stead of paying 5 cent!, out of evory dollar In taxes as they did 15 war go paid out 7.3 oi.ts of every dol lar received, for that purpose in UM5, abowinj the burden was proportion ately greater than in the prosperous . years. . Mr. Flynn emphaaised the fact that the freight customer doea not pay for passenger service. "If the railways had no passengor service they would be unable to reduce freight rates; moreover, tho Pullman cars which make up the most of the train belong to the Pullman company and nre paid for by those who ride them, not by the , farmer or other persona paying freight," tho speaker stated. "When we began to lay hard sur faced highways a few years ago, we did not build them for the over-sited ; trucks. When we constructed these highways we thought wo wero build ing tbein for the private automobile and perhaps for' smsll farm trucks, but now they have been appropriated by truck ownera, who, backed by pow erful motor vehicle manufacturers and othera interested In taking your high ways away from yon for their benefit, have perfected lobby organisations atronger than any, even a railway baiting politician could ever accuse the rallwaya of having, in tho most balmy days of these same dependable railways. In tho ineantlnio tho rail ways relying on the old time so- called American fair piny, have gone about their business furnishing de pendable transportation nnd 1 believe hate done a pretty good job. Renaissance Seen "Po you really think wo hnve play ed fair with tho railways? I am sure you do not if you have given the mat ter aerlous thought. S" far as replac ing railway equipment Is concerned, you must understand thnt railways cannot scrap a powerful engine cost ing .10(1,000, r a Pullman passenger car worth :t(l,(IOO or $10,01 hi. or a box car for which It pnid $L"ih1, be cause it tins no 'angel' government ready tn subsidise it with new equip ment or Its equivalent In free high ways and other subsidies. For this reason the railways have had to make their Improvement rather slowly. When a railroad spend money for certain purposes It must get author ity from the InteiKtate t'omnieri'c commission. Tor n long time railways have not built many new endues or boi cars, but they hnve wade grent improvements iu those passenger cart and trains put into service,' Mr. Flynn said. "If taxes do not Iwnkrupt us or if we can teach people thnt only by work can they emerge from this dcircMoii and that tho public's money must not be squandered, 'and If we can restore faith, confidence,' and courage, where now apprehension, drend nod t'ese abound, there will be the greatrst rail way rensssnnce with! nthe nest ten or fifteen years thnt ti e world hns ever known. "If as n fair play American (iivpsv er you still Insist you should give competing forms of transportation all the free rights and prii lieges thnt n.i heretofore hnve accorded them, ano if you still wish tn maintain your rep utation for fair play, It will lie necej. lary for yon treat the railways the same as theso competing forms of t'ansp.irtiitlnn. Therefore, jog would have to give the rnllwav approxi mate ?l o.Vl.tKKl.tKIO annually ns sub sidien considering the amount of tho traffic they enrry, and because com peting forms of transportation pay no taxc., ou would then have to add the frton.iKV jCut mora or less In taxes which the railwsys pay annually, or provide that railways pay no taxes. Thus t!,e rnilways would have at Irar! billion and a half dollars ench yenr to make the improvements in their service end to do all the other things which they have been criticised for not doing. If yon do not feel this war about giving the railways f l,oOO,ia:V O0 annually, a Tery reasonable mount In comparison with other VISITOR HERE! Edward F.

FOR EX-EUGENEAN (CONTINUED FROM PACE I) I Dr. Btabl waa malting bis wty up tht river by boat ono day when native runners approached him and conveyed ti him the information tbey bad been ordered to bring him to their chief 'by peacpable means if possible, but liy force If necessary," says Mr. Ilay don In describing the Incident. The csnnibnl chief waa aerlously III, in fact dying with malaria fever, aa the missionary found when he reached him. He treated him and was able to cure him, with the resnlt the chief offered any reward he might ask. "Dr. Stnhl merely requested that ho be permitted to take three native head'hunter -tribesmen, preferably young boys, tench them and then Bend them back to their tribes to instruct their fellow members." Ifsyden aald. The eblef agreed to thia with the reservation that but three boya be taken. This was done, the boys were sent to the school under my direction snd In turn were sent back to their tribes." 3 Tribsi Converted At the present time, under tha in fluence of the Indians educated by the missionary, definite progress toward oncouraglug tha henilrhuntera to abandon their savage customs is being made, Hayden declares, three tribes uow having given up theso practices entirely, even to observing the Bab-bath. 'Missionaries of all denomlnationa are 'working together in perfect har mony and are making great progress among tha cannibals of the upper Amaaon country." ; , , ' The head-hunters of the upper Amaaon live a crude, savage eilstencc, existing on what native foods they find, ' principally tropical fruits, bi sects, animate and reptiles. Whon visiting them, Haydon and other mem. bera of the party, being accorded the honor of privillged guests, were forced through custom to'flrst pnrtnke of a feast, . Baetl, Soup Served "As a first course we were aerved beetle aoup," said Hayden. "It prob ably waa very good bcetlo aoup, but for a white porson, unaccustomed to the taste, It was terrible. So terrible in fact, t lv.it the newest missionary was violently III,, causing the veteran Pr, Stall! the necessity of explaining to the chief that I was new to the country and that my stomach did not feel good. It would have been an In sult not to eat their food as they did. . "Nest we had reptile steak, turtle c-nss, lizard meat nnd tropical fruits, with one of tbeir horrible drinks made from the fermented flesh of animals. Truly, it takes a strong stomach to bo a missionary among these people." About once a yenr, these cannibal tribes go on the War-path against a pet enemy. On these expeditions, the hend-hnnters attack their foes with Huge clubs, knocking them out with savage blowa, nfter which they saver the heads and take them home as evi dence of vnlor in the field of battle. Pre.ervt Heads "Ths Indians eat tho bodies of the men they have slain and preserve the heads In a manner the white man has never been able to learn. Bones of the skull are first removed, the hend la then treated in an unknown manner and placed In a solution, contests of which science hns never been nbio to count. The heads are thus shrunk to n fourth their original slie, with tho features perfectly preserved." An interesting little habit of theso head-hunters Is to dig big holes, ten to fourteen feet Bunre, place poison tipped spears upright at tho bottom nnd then cover tho aperture with brush and light dirt so that It looks Just like tho surrounding terrain, llayden enys. Their enemies, walking nlong a trail, may suddenly fall into these holes, being impaled on the poison epeara and dying a horrible death. "Dr. Stnhl narrowly escnped falling Into one of these death trnps on a trip Into the jungle one day," llayden lrlnted. "As he was walking Blontr. he was suddenly grabbed by three niillves who pulled him hack, just ns tliu ground wan brenklng under his feet. Due to his work curing the sick cnti I'ibnls, they hnve a great respect for him and protect him and his parly at all times."

T CAPITOL BUILDING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) of the building," wrote Mr. Cox, "and the ahowplace of Oregon aa well. "It seems to be the opinion of many that the rotunda designed by Mr. Keally la little more than a foyer to the two grand staircases, that it is in no sense distinctive or original, ' and that It doea not aa It atands admit of a real interpretation of the richness of the Oregon we know." Mr. Cox declares that the lumber men have not supported the wood mural project through any bops of promoting tbeir own producta alnce Buch a project has only Blight relation to commercial woods, and he deplorea what he terma Mr. Keally's evident Idea that the movement aavora of 'high-pressuring." Keally's Attitude Related ' ' Talking' Informally at Seattle. Mr. Cox reports Mr. Keally to have shown only Blight interest in the use of western woods. On the contrary, he soys Mr. Keally. indicated that while some wood panels might be used In various parts of the building the ar chitects would probably specify east ern hardwoods. It was for this reason, Mr, Cox urged the preparation of the special models saying: We believe auch n study win aid materially in 'selling' the architect on Oregon and promote In him a much better understanding of the richness of the Oregon scene, resources, ma terials, ana tne reelings and thoughts of Oregoninns, and he will come to see that througli cooperation 'his' building may become much more an expression of Oregon and for that reason a much more effective 'monu ment to his ability.
