Acute Freight Car Shortage
Reported by Lumbermen
Oregon is confronted with a freight car shortage that has be
come so serious that it may affect employment, and cause a serious
loss to the lumber industry, according to Geo. H. Flagg, public
utilities commissioner.
Lumbering interests complain that there has been a shortage
of approximately 125 cars a day;
throughout August, and that
their businesses suffering great
ly from this Inability to till the
greatest rush of orders they have
enjoyed in two and a halt years.
The trouble is most serious in
the area served exclusively by
the Southern Pacific, south of
Eugene, and in the Coos Bay
section.
Railroad authorities contend
that every effort has been made
to secure an ample supply of
cars, but that the present up
surge in the lumber industry
was much larger than had been
anticipated, and despite the fact
that empties have been dead
headed in from great distances,
it will still take some time to
catch up. On the other hand,
representatives of the lumber
operators express the view that
they are being discriminated
against, in the fact that Califor
nia is suffering no such short
age, and that the S.P. has not
dealt fairly with Oregon. An
investigation will be made of
these possibilities.
A serious shortage of cars on
the Southern Pacific has been
felt tor some time by seedmen,
who have complained almost
daily to the utilities commission
er. This seasonal demand will
soon be eased, but the outlook
in the lumber business indicates
that the situation may be seri
ous for some time to come.
Another factor being felt is
the 40 hour work week adopted
nationally by the railroads. Traf
fic men predict that this will re
duce availability of cars by at
least 10 per cent. This area is
so dependent on rail transporta
tion for the marketing of its lead
ing commodities that the car sit
uation is vital, and its needs
must be anticipated in advance.
Flagg says.
Leasure Home T. ' W. Lea
sure, slugged and robbed in
downtown Portland two weeks
ago and later confined to a hos
pital bed in that city, has re
turned to his home in Salem. He
is reported as making satisfac
tory progress toward recovery

easy for a few days.

Smith at Yale
With Minton
Ray L. Smith, Salem attorey
and Sherman Minton, recently
nominated for a position on the
U.S. supreme court were class
mates of Yale of '16, but the
two men do not see eye to eye
in the matter of the constitutoin.
Both men went to Yale in the
fall of 1915 after securing law
degrees in other institutions
Smith from Willamette univer
sity and Minton from Indiana U.
Both graduated the following
spring.
While Minton was a good stu
dent, probably above the aver
age in ability. Smith does not
consider that he was brilliant
in his classwork at Yale.
Minton was elected to the U.S.
senate from Indiana with the
landslide that swept President
Roosevelt and fellow democrats
into power. However, he was
beaten when he came up for re
election and later was named
administrative assistant to
Roosevelt. A few months later
he was appointed judge in the
U.S. circuit court of appeals.
As a result of Minion's sup
port of Roosevelt s supreme
court packing plan, Smith wrote
a letter of protest. "I do not
understand how a man who has
studied constitutional law un
der William Howard Taft as you
and I have can countenance such
a scheme as the court packing
plan, he wrote.
Minton made no effort to dis
cuss principles involved in his
reply, merely stating that "it
was a matter of opinion."
The senate has not as yet con
firmed Minton's appointment.

Flash Fire
(Continued from Page 1)
The cause of the blaze was not
known, but firemen said they
had established that it started
stateroom No. 462 on the
starboard side, two cabins aft of
the cocktail bar. Within three
minutes after it started, wit
nesses said, the whole of C deck
was afire.
Watchman Spots' Blaze
A pier watchman turned In
the first alarm after seeing "i
glimmer of fire near the stern.'
Not two minutes after he tele.
phoned, he said, the whole ship
seemed ablaze.
As daylight came, firemen
worked with pike pole and
shovel In the wreckage, bringing
out bodies. Sometimes there
were three or four bodies, some-
times only broken, charred parts
of bodies.
Chief Coroner Smirle Lawson
arranged to set up a temporary
morgue at the horticultural
building of the Canadian na
tional exhibition four miles west
along the lake shore. Relatives
and friends were to go there to
identify the dead.
The Noronics blackened hull,
which settled by the stern be
fore dawn and listed sharply
against her pier, went down at
the bow around mid-morning
and straightened up on the bot
tom of the slip.
Cut Through With Torches
The name Noronic, almost un
blemished by the smoke and
flames on her prows, sank to the
level of the roadway, where a
crowd of 2,000 onlookers stood
watching.
Firemen had to cut through
the steaming wreckage with
torches to bring out 11 charred,
unidentified bodies from the
saloon section by 7:15 a.m.
One foreman coming out of
the blackened ruins of the for
ward part of the main deck
shouted to Fir Chief Sam Hill:
'There must b 25 or 30 bodies
up there."
All but about 20 of the 520
passengers were said to be
United States citizens. There
were 170 crew members.
Scenes In Hospital
Several score were on hospit
al injured lists, at least 16 ser
iously hurt.
Hundreds of others, awakened
by the flames, escaped by jump
ing to the pier, into the water, or
clambering over rails to ships
tied up nearby.
