PAGE TWELVE THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1930 ESPEE STATES OPPOSITION TO HILL EXTENSION ; Washington (IP) The formal sum mary of Its opposition to the pro posed otest N ortbern-Western Pa cific railroad link In Oregon and California, which - In effect would form a new system connecting the American northwest, the Pacific eoast and the southwest, as filed with the -Interstate commerce com mission Friday by the Southern Fa clflc company, ' The brief was the Southern Pa elflc's answer to the joint brief filed a month ago by the two peti tioning roads. In it the Southern Pacific contended that "neither present nor future public conveni ence and necessity has been shown for the 200-mile construction pro Ject. ' The project would Involve eaten aion of the Great Northern from Klamath Falls, Ore., to Bleber, Cal and of the Western Pacific from Krddie, Cel., to Bleber. Contentions of the Southern Pa cific as summed up in the brief are: That the terftory already is ad equately served with rail and high way transportation. That the Southern Pacific'! in. vestments in lines affected is SIM,' 000.000. upon which but a slight re- turn has been earned, and that a competlna! line would "seriously lnv pair the earning capacity of these lines. That the proposed road would cre ate no new rail traffic that cannot be created by existing lines. That the waste would include 'some 5,500,000 ear miles a year. and would place "an unnecessary burden on commerce." The Southern Pacific also con tended that the project would add nothing to net railway revenues, but would, on the contrary, decrease them and that the applicant rail roads had shown no proof of need ing a connection between their sys tems. It was argued that existing lines could handle all the potential traf flo which the new construction might create, and that - present roads can adequately bridge the gap between the Great Northern and the Santa Fe systems. Lack of through rates, It was set forth, "does not warrant the costly duplication pro posed." Necessary competition, the South em Pacific said, could be brought about without "the wasteful dupli cation here proposed," by accept ance by the applicant roads of offers of open gateways to be furnished by the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific. The Southern Pacific also con tended there was no equity in the Great Northern's plea for an ex tension south of Klamath Falls to support its existing extension north of that city, as "the remedy is not to perpetuate Ins error at the ex pense of existing lines. The South em pacific here made the point that the Great Northern obtained permission to extend from Bend to Klamath Falls without mention ing the further southward exten sion as essential to its success. It also argued that the Oreat Northern "might find itself with a 'stub end' at Bleber, connecting, as at Klamath Falls, with a compet itor, and, to make a success of this extension, may seek authority to parallel existing lines from time to time and from point to point, ad Infinitum, claiming each extension necessary to make a success of the previous one." The argument also contended that the Western Pacific does not need the proposed line as a feeder, hav ing already 63 miles of feeder lines for every 100 miles of main line. The Southern Pacific also argued that "the Western Pacific itself was an ecomomlc mistake, and to divert revenues from established carriers simply to Improve Uie already very substantial earnlnga of the line so conceived, would be to perpetuate an error pyramiding upon It" at great cost to both carriers and the public. chainstoresales disclose; increases New York W The first 31 chain store companies reporting - their February results show aggregate ales for the month of 1128.760.317, compared with I120.4e3.680, in Feb ruary, 192S, an Increase of 6.M per cent.

DANGERS STEP AT LIVELY PACE Seven thousand one hundred and sixty eight steps in one-sixth of an hour, more than Tis disunci iooi movements a minute, or nearly 12 shuffles a second. It seems unbelievable, but never- the less that Is the claim seriously made for each individual member of the 16 Belcher dancers, coming here for a stay at Fox Bsinore the ater, with Fanchon and Marcos Pleasant" Idea, which opens an en gagement on Saturday for two days. What Is known as a "Time-Step Marathon," used by Fanchon and Marco as a finale for the produc tion, gives this long breathed group of steppers, it is said, the opportun ity to display their endurance, as well as rapid foot work. Only one step is used In the long drawn out Marathon, but while it is being enacted, the group drills In a series tf formations, more fantastic it Is claimed, than those drills seen at national lodge conventions. The 10 minute dance Maramon, according to announcement, requires the steppers to negotiate 14 distinct foot movements to every bar. There are 32 bars, it Is said, in a chorus, which Is played 16 times. This re ception Is continued for 10 minutes. SUITABLE MUSEUM WANTED FOR RELICS SUverton J. D. Drake, P. L. Brown and M. L. Oottenburg, all have large collections of relics of many years standing, many of much Interest to this community, but they are not seen by many people as they are in private homes. It has been thought possible that the city would provide a place where these articles may be placed, and kept in safe show places so that they may be seen by all who care to view them. It has been stated that these men would be willing to place their relics In such place. MRS. MORGAN VISITING La Payette Mrs. Georgia Morgan and daughter Audrie left for Port land Thursday.

Two powerful dynamite bombs, wrapped and apparently ready lor delivery, were found in a secret .cupooarn in the kitchen. . The raiding party was led by Jo. seph Altmeler, bomb expert of the state's attorney's office, who said the prisoners had reorganized tne bomb trust that was crushed by a sensational raid a year ago. Among those arrested in addl tion to Olannlni and Callendo were the latter's son, Peter: Joe Jackson, Sam Scotti, Anthony Garle, Guy Eachlaro and John and Sam Nuzzo, brothers. ...... . t The farmhouse where the raid occurred was the scene of a famous gud fight in June, 1928, when Char, lea (Ltmpy) Cleaver, convicted mall robber, was captured. He had used the farm as a hideout. The farmhouse was surrounded shortly before midnight by two squads of detectives. Automobile neadiignts were turned on tne ouuu- ing from all sides and the occu rjants ordered to surrender. Sev eral men tried to escape by climb ing out windows but were covered by officers' guns and captured. Most of the men arrested were found to be former members of the once-powerful Genna gang that ruled the west side several years ago. The two principal captives were Tony Callendo, owner of tne farm, and Tony Olannlni, .described by police as the lieutenant of Mel rose Park's alcohol chief, Joe Moo- tana. The raid was tne result oi a tip from undercover men of the state's attorney's office that a general meeting, of the mob trust was to be held at midnight at uie lonely farm, southwest of Chicago.

Union county MOVE TO ABOLISH BOAT FISHING UP Eugene (IP) A new movement to abolish "boat" fishing on the Mc- Kenzle river above Hendricks bridge was under wav Friday. The fight started last year in a legislative bill designed to prevent fishing from boats in the river. The measure, backed by "Dank" fisner men and opposed by "boat" fisher men, did not meet with success. Bert Vincent of Blue River, Is leading the new movement. He de clared that boat fishing can be par tlclpated in by only about 10 per cent of tne anglers due to tne nign price of boats and boatmen. Vincent has circulated a petition, which, it was said, has been signed by nearly all the resident along the river. Bank fishermen assert that boat men are largely responsible for de pleting the supply of red sides in the McKenzle because they can catch so many fish. Boat fisher man who are ready, to put up a strong fight, retaliate that bank fishermen are killing off too many fish because they catch the little fellows.

W) A sound ampli fier in the human brain has been found by Ic- James W. Panes, asso ciate professor of anatomy and neu rology at Cornell university. -- Thi instrument for unraveling and routing ' impulses of sound to the human nervous system Is as small as a grain of wheat. It ia a tiny bundle of hundreds of gossamer threads of nerves, which receives sound image from a small nerve and passes them along. 1 There are two of these amplifiers, one on either side of the head. Each is called a "superior olive." Functioning like switchyards of a complex railway system, the olives convey sound over a vast network of nerves. Sounds pass from the inner ear to a nucleus which "steps them up" by routing them to a nerve trackage containing a larger number of fibers. One main line carries sound from the left ear to the right olive, and another from the right ear to the left olive: . : Between these principal Hies there Is a sort of junction, so htat sound entering the left ear, for example.
