Eastern and -iiiwhanv regions have been ordered to deiiver 500 additional empty cars daily to the northwest region, Chica go for movement to the Pacific north vit and every effort is being made to expedite this movement. "Regional Director Alshton wires that during first five days of January three northern lines and Union Pa cifio delivered an excess of 81 box cats compared with a loss of 347 dur log same period during December. Alo that all roads now have good supply of cars moving west and that wits, continuation of good weather there is reason to expect a satisfac tory movement of empty cars into Washington and Oregon." Th commission is asked to wire immediately if conditions do not sub ' jtaotlally improve within the next few dan. A telegram from Senator McNary received by the commission Saturday etatee that he is holding a conference with the railroad administration in th interest of relief for the car short age situation in this section. Extensive use of the highways and streams of eastern Oregon for trans portation purposes la indicated in three articles of Incorporation filed here Saturday, each backed by the same Incorporators with headquar ters in Portland and capitalized at $20,000. The corporations are Shep ard's Auto Bus Line; the Portland, St. Helens and Astoria Auto Line and the Portland-Hood River Auto Line. Frank Shepard, E. E. Davenport and L. A.

Water Permits. The development of power near Early is contemplated in an applica' tlon filed with the state engineers of fice Saturday by Homer S. Wall of Wasco, covering the appropriation of 500 second feet of water from the John Day river. Other applications for water rights were filed Saturday as follows: By David G. Glass of Myrtle Creek covering the appropriation of water from South Myrtle creek, a tributary of the Umpqua river, for irrigation purposes. By W. R. Hursfof Port Orford for the appropriation of water from WId owvllle Springs for a domestic water supply. By C. N. Bradford of Fife for the appropriation of water from Long Hollow creek for the irrigation of small tract in Crook county." A permit to appropriate water from Lostine river has been granted the South Fork ditch company for the ir rigation of 634 acres near Lostine in Wallowa county. Allegations made by Oregon sports men at the public hearing in Portland last June to the effect that the ex penses of the game warden had In creased more than three fold from 1915 to 1918 are more than substan tiated in the official report of Seth L. Roberts Portland public account ant which was submitted to Governor Clcott late Saturday afternoon and which shows this increase to have been from $403.64 in 1915 to $$. 192.06 in 1918 or more than five fold in the four year period. The $1100 to which the expenses of Game Warden Shoemaker are shown to have slump ed in 1919 includes only the money drawn by Shoemaker from the came fund and does not include expendi tures from other funds, Roberts ex plains in his report A very material slump In the prop' r gat ion of trout at the Bonneville hatchery in the period from 1915 to 1918 is also shown by Roberts in his report. In 1915 the report shows, there were a total of 5,119,950 fish propagated at the Bonneville hatch ery. In 1918 this figure increased to 6. 118,180 but the next year propaga tion slumped to a mere 1,487,878 and the figures of 1918 bring the total up to only 2,135,374 or less than half that of four years previous. A dash of cold water Is thrown on to the move for a divorce of the com mercial and game interests in the fish ar.d game department by Roberts who in his report declares that his inves tigation has convinced him that It would bo next to impossible to en tirely separate game fish from com mercial fish, at least so far as propa- gation is concerned. As a possible so lution to the existing controversy tween the two interests Roberts mg- eests that steelheads be treated en tirely as salmon in determining the cost of propagation, the game inter ests pWchasing such fry as desired for stocking game streams. Inasmuch jr -iWVf aw; that the matter be called to tha at tention of the state legislature for such aclon as would permit of this transfer. In this connection Roberts calls at tention to the impracticability of sep arating the propagation of game and commercial fish Inasmuch as the two are propagated at different seasons of the year enabling the use of one set of skilled employes at one hatch ery with a mlnmum of time loss thru idleness. While admitting that allegations to the effect that cans containing trout fry have been sent out only hsif fill ed and charged as filled cans might have some foundation, Roberta de clares it to be his belief that this was due to the negligence or carelessness o employes and not to any malicious Intent on the part of any one inter ested in making a showing in the mat ter of fish propagation. Declaring that it Is probable that the charges for operating the fish car In the state may not have been properly distributed between the game and calmon funds as has been charged, Roberts states that this can not be clearly determined from the vouchers but that, except In a few in stances the charges appeur to be all right as' most of the time the fish car Is operated for the game department in distributing trout and should be paid by that department. In order to obviate future complications in the operation of the fish car he recom-j mends the appointment of an official for this purpose who shall be respon sible to neither the master fish war den or the state game warden. The appointment of a manager for the Bonneville hatchery, leaving the master fish warden free for other work, is also recommended in Rob ert's report. All moneys received tor licenses and through other sources by the commission have been properly ac counted for and all disbursements are anxious to keep up to the minute; on what is new in this line. Though i the motor car year does not ordinar ily begin until July, at which most manufacturers announce their pro duct for the coming year, such a con dition has not prevailed this year. Too much effort has been put forth in getting the factory back into pro duction to devote any time to experi mental work necessary to prouuee new model. 83 Makes In Exhibit. Besides, manufacturing conditions were not such that there could be any degree of assurance that once pro duction was started It could be car ried through. Disturbances of various sorts have upset tne motor industry they have other lines. Consequently. many manufacturers will at. this show be offering for public approval what they learned during the war about working material and advanced engineering construction. There are on display eighty-three makes of passenger cars and sixty seven makes of motor trucks. In addi tion to 284 accessories. Rules of the show required that before a manufac turer could qualify to draw for space he should have been in production at least one year. This means that some of the new cars, about which there have been rumors from time to time are being shown elsewhere than at the show, generally In the lobbies of prominent hotels. $633,008,000 Will 8E SPENT ON ROADS IN AMERICAN 111 1920 Jerry Grakm, Employee Of City, Is Summoned By Death Jerry Graham, 62, for several years an employe of the city street depart ment, passed away ot his home, 189S Waller street, Sunday evening. He had been ill for several months, and has been confined to his bed for about two weeks. Death Is believed to have resulted from internal Injuries sus tained while doing some heavy work. He was a teamster. His wife, Mrs. Lucy W. Graham, and several children, survive him. No arrangements for the funeral have been made. The body Is at the. parlors of the Rigdon& Son com pany. Printed this way $,8SS,000,000 does not sound like very much when we use our recently acquired billion dollar accent, but write it out like this six hundred and thirty-three mil lionsand it sounds like Germany's war debt. But It Isn't that H a Just the sum available for in 1920 for hard surface highways in the United States. It comes from various sources. national, state and county, but it is a reality, not a dream. We are spending $138,000,006 on our roads in 1919, the department of agriculture informs us. a sum that is a new record In itself, but how In flnlteslmal it sounds when compared with the 1920 appropriation! It seems, thorugh, that this money oun not all be used unless we get better railroad service by means Ot which to haul the road material to the places where it can be used. So the govern ment Is warning the contractors to lay In their supplies now and take ad vantage of the goHlen harvest, next year. No stronger evidence Is needed that tills country is alive to the need of Improved highways than this six hun dred and thirty-three millions In ap propriations. It is the culmination of years of work on the part of cyclist and motorists, with the world war ad the object lesson, pointing out the im perative necessary ot a national net work ot tine roads, not only as a de fense but as one of the greatest so lutions ot our country's transporta tion problems. Usable highways mean much food. merchandising, pleasure and healtli lite itself. The good roads little acoru has grown into the giant ouk. Motor Life. Doctor Says Tobacco Causes Hardening Arteries Tobacco causes hardening ot the arteries, says Dr. Conner, and along about forty when a man should be at his best, the excessive tobacco user finds himself with hlKh blood pres sure, headaches, indigestion and a lot of other troubles. Your own doctor will tell you this is true. If you want to quit tobacco entirely or cut down the excess, get a package ot Nlcotol tablets from your druggist and you will find It easy. Nlcotol kills the craving and makes the tobacco habit quit you. It Is sold under a steel bound money-back guarantee by ail druggists. Note AbX your druggist what others suy about the wonderful power of Nlcotol to break the tobacco habit.

The 1920 auto mobile show, now in progress, Is the first complete demonstration of motor transportation ever held in this coun try, since it contains both a passen ger and a truck exhibit. The shows of previous years, nave been devoted exclusively to the dis- olav of passenger cars. Last year aur ing the week following the passenger ear diHDlay a truck exhibit was held, but with Indifferent success. This was due to the fact that the bulk of the crowd had gathered for the passenger exhibit and would, not remain over for the following week. Automobiles Scarce. Automobiles are scarce today, every manufacturer being behind on orders. fonRenuentlv the dealers are unable to make proper delivery. It Is but natural that the public wants that which is hard to obtain. During tne ivn months there has been the greatest automobile buying coun try has even known, and it promises to continue the ooming year. The value of quick transportation has been realized" by all, and those who are able to afford a motor car There are 60,704 railway employees on the African continent.
