"Rsllroads ere doing a g"d '

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

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

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.

"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

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."

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

Mr. Cox declares that the lumber

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'

expression of Oregon and for that
reason a much more effective 'monu

Boufield sayst
I'Altho' the commission, I feel lure,
la desirous of placing Oregon mater
ials in the building and especially
Oregon woods as furnishings for sev
eral of the rooms, the matter of wood
carvings, in my opinion will have to
be left to the architect. As for myself,
ltho" sympathetic to the use of wood
carvings I do not feel competent to
decide on the number and type, nor
the place in which these should be
used and I shall have to rely upon
the architect la recommend in this
matter. ' .-
"It seem!) to me that ill one or two
of your letters you are somewhat
critical Ibf the architect and designers
of thia building. I am sorry such la
the case as I am quite sure the arch!
tecta will be willing to go a consider

witb the hope of making constructive
suggestions. He reiterates the request
