BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
HAVE THE MIND OP CHRIST
Let this mind be in you, which
vras also in Christ Jesus. Lei
nothing be done through strife or
vainglory; but in lowliness of
mind let each esteem other better
than themselves. Phillnptans 2:

A RARA AVIS
Sage hen hunters report that the
birds are almost Impossible to Bud
this year. Spots which in past sea
sons were certain to produce birds,
this year yield none at all. The
warnings voiced a year ago are now
shown to be more than pessimistic
prophecy. The sage' hen is almost
gone.
It may be tbat there are few who
are really interested In sage hens.
Few have shot them: not many have
hunted them. Possibly their passing
would hardly be noticed, and yet it
does seem a pity that any form of
wild life should be exterminated un
less it is a pest like the Jackrabbit or
the coyote. A big share of the pleas
ure of out-of-door life is in the birds
and animals to be watched and stud-
led. There is no reason why man
should continue his career of extermi
nation. The great auk is gone and
the passenger pigeon is gone. The
sage hen is about to go.
The game commission this year
wisely cut down the open season for
sage hens. We believe that the sports
men and the nature lovers of this sec
tion should join in an appeal to the
commission to declare a closed season
for two or three years to see if the
bird may not be brought back.
A resident of Durns named Jack
Scarf died the other day. leaving no
relatives and only a small amount of
property, but what little he did leave,
he bequeathed to the Burns public
library. The amount will be at least
$600, says the Burns Times-Herald,
the largest single gift the library has
ever received. "Jack," as the Times
Herald puts it, "had not a great
amount of benefit from the library,
but he appreciated it nevertheless
and his gift showed it." Are there
any Jack Scarfs in Bend?
The Wife's Husband
Among the toilers in the mart he wrought till
he was old; he labored with a broken heart, that
he might gain some gold. And gold he won, for he
was wise in commerce and in trade, but in his
darkly brooding eyes no sunshine ever played. He
was the husband of his wife, and she, a social
queen, pursued a vain and giddy life that called for
much long green. She "entertained" three times a
week, bridge-whisted once or twice, and her sad
husband, worn and meek, went forth to raise the
price. She moved in pomp and circumstance, her
hats and gowns were fine ; and James, with patches
on his pance, would in a chophouse dine. He saved
a nickel now and then, and placed it in a can;
"Some day," he sighed, "when I've a yen, I'll carry
out my plan. I'll buy twelve feet of hempen rope'
a broadax and a knife, a pint or so of deadly dope
and thus escape my wife. I'll pack with bombs my
old valise, and jump into a pond; for I must have
the rest and peace that's billed for the beyond."
The foolish woman had no thought of vows her
husband swore, until one evening he was brought
to her upon a door. And then at last her conscience
struck, remorse within her burned; "I might have
let him keep a buck," she moaned, "from what he
earned."

Can Merger Decision Be Enforced?
Expert Sees Chance of Confusion
(Professor Stuart Daggett, dean of the col.
Icice of commerce and professor of railway
cconomlcs of the University of California, in
his second article on the Central-Southern
Faeinc unmenrer case, foresees complicaU-d
valuation problems. Editor's Notc.l
Latest New York Fad.
New York has a man engaped In
whm he says Is a gainful occupation,
who appears in the city directory as n
tnttooer of dogs. Inquiry reveals the
fact that ninny owners and fanciers of
doKB have their names tattooed on the
dog's skin.
Up to this point I have dealt brief
ly with the legal phases of the su
preme court decision. The conclu
sion is that the Southern Pacific mer
ger decision is 'good law. The next
question is, can the decision be en
forced? That is to say, can the South
ern Pacific and the Central Pacific be
separated without destroying one or
the other or leaving substantial parts
of one or the other line without con
nection save a rival road?
The main source of difficulty in un
scrambling the Southern Pacilic and
Central Pacilic systems is that the fa
cilities of the two companies are in
terlaced. Neither the Southern Pacific nor
the Central Pacific system is com
plete as it standt but each relies
upon the other for important track
age. The Southern Pacific is in the
extraordinary situation of having no
connection of its own between its
lines in Oregon and those in Cali
fornia, and of depending upon the
Central Pacific for access to branches
such as those from Raymond to Be
renda and from Lodi to Valley
Springs. On the other hand the Cen
tral Pacific has no interest in the
Benlcia Short Line, a fact which
would probably shut it entirely out of
the passenger business between Snn
Francisco and Sacramento, unless
this route were somehow opened to
it.
Another source of confusion is due
to the Joint and sometimes confused
situation at the terminals. Both the
Central Pacilic and the Southern Pa
cific possess interests lu the terminals
in Snn Francisco. With respect to
Oakland, the writer had occuslon to
examine the conditions of ownership
of the properties a few years ago and
found at thut time that the ferry
boats which connect San Francisco
with the western end of the main
transcontinental line here at Oakland
were owned by the Central Pacific
railway. The pier at which these
boats docked was held by the South
ern Pacific company under a 50 year
lease from the city of Oakland that
expired in 1960. The steam railroad
tracks upon the pier were owned by
the Central Pacific railway. For a
space of something over 1.100 feet
east from the line of low tltlu, these
Central Pacific tracks passed over
land owned in fee simple by the
Southern Pacific company to arrive
at property sold by the old Contracts
and Finance company to the Central
Pacific railroad in " 1872. Beyond
this, trains wpre operated over land
held by the Western Pacific railroad
under an easement which dated from
1870; and beyond this still came land
which the Western Pacific Railroad
company owned outright under deed
of sale of 1874. Until two or three
years previous the railroad officials
themselves were ignorant of the ex
tent of the tangle to which long con
tinued common management of the
Southern Pacific and the Central Pa
cific had given rise.
There is no question but that it will
require a good deal of negotiation
and many adjustments to effect a
separation of the Southern Puclflc
and Central Pacific companies. l'n-

iloubtedly also It will he hi'.rd to eval
uate exactly the rights and title of
each of till) negotiating piii'llex.
On the" other hand I hero is noth
ing ill the relation of tho system
which Is so complex as to make un
scrambling Impossible or even highly
ilitlli'iill. The best evidence of this
is the fact that a plan of adjustment
has already been worked out and
agreed to by tho milliners of the
Southern Pacific and by tho Union
Pucltllc, which was at one time a
prospective purchaser of thu Central
Pacilic.
When the supremo court In 1912
.required the Union Pacific to divest
Itself of the ownership of Its South
ern Pacific shares, tho Union Pacilic
agreed to buy and the Southern Pu
clflc to sell tho line of (lie Central
Pacific from Ogden to San Francisco
hay. The mutual concessions which
were agreed upon at thu time muy
be listed as follows:
First: The lease for 999 years by
the Central Pacific of Its line of rail
road from Tehama, Oil., to tho Oro
gon lino, to tho Southern Pacific Rnll
road company at an annual rental of
5 per cent upon the value of such
line from Tehuma to tho Oregon line.
Second: The sale by the Central
Pacific to tho Southern Pacific Hall
road company of the line of railroad
from Weed. In Siskiyou county, C'ull
fornln, to Natron, Oregon.
Third: The lease for 999 years by
the Southern Pacific and tho South
ern Pacific Railroad company to the
Central Pacific of Its line of railroad
from Sacramento by way of Ilenlclu
to Oakland at an annual rental of
2'4 per cent upon the value of said
line. This was to give tho lessee an
equal joint use with the Southern
Pacific company of said line and no
other line was to bo admitted to sulci
use without tho permission of said
Central Pacific.
Fourth: The lease for 999 years by
the Southern Pacific and Central Pa
cific to one another of the Joint use
of their respective tcrminnls. Includ
ing Industry tracks, at all Junctions
of their respective lines within city
limits.
Fifth: The lease for 999 years by
the Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany and the Southern Puclflc, to the
Central Pacific of trackage and run
ning rights over the Hues of thn for
mer companies between Redwood
City and San Francisco, for through
freight trains only, at an annual
rental of 5 per cent upon the valua
tion to be determined us hereinafter
set out.
These mutual adjustments united
the Southern Puclflc lines In Cali
fornia with the samo company's lines
in Oregon, they gave to tho Central
Pacific the uso of the Ilenlcin Short
Line and an entrance to San Fran
cisco up the peninsula from Redwood
City, and they provided for Joint use
of tho respective terminals of the
two companies.
What has been dnhe onco can be
done again. The carrying out of the
original plan was prevented by the
Insistence of the California railrond
commission that the Southern Pacific
accord facilities to other lines lit
Oakland and between Sacramonto
and Oakland similar to those accord
ed to tho "Central Pacilic. The par
tins concerned were unwilling to do
this, although the public advantage
of union terminals upon Han Fran
cisco hay Is evident. Under new con
ditions with tho prospective develop
ment of the Ooiil. Island project, and
iiinlcr pressure from tho United
Stnies supremo court, n final solution
should hn now possible.
