The Car Situation.
Reports from Washington s a'e
ihat Interstate Commissioner Lane
is enroute to investigate the car
.shortage Pi
the Pacific northwest.
vVhile the commissioner has no
poer to HtTord any relief, his in
vestigation will bring reliable data
and will assist iu the struggle for
an aiequate car service. Data
gathered so far indicates that while
eastern roads are sometimes bother
with a slight car nhortage yet no
for lo-:g. Some of the bigger east
rn roids hare Is and -0 curs per
mile of t'ieir entire trackage while
lii'SPCo. has but :b The east
era roada have their territory of
course, closely built up, but even
then have immense mileage to
care for. The traffic aloug the thou
sands of milts of S P track extend
ing for along the southern border
of Texas, clear around up the Paci
fic coast to Portland has been lean
ttj TOTwnrn-Tn irnmense oounos,
which the railroad claims it has
not been able to keep pace with.
Thousands of new ears are needed
each year to replace worn and de
fective ones, besides the increase in
business. Many of the cars are
held by shippers at congested points
because demurrage ia cheaper than
storage. In Portland on one day
250 cars were counted, that were
being used by the produce mer
chants for storage. Their ow n war---
aouses were lull to overnj-.ving,
they had no room to store the goods
coming iu so insttad of seeking ad
ditional room at a big rental, let the
incoming goods stay in the cars un
til they can handle it and pay the
demurrage of SI. or Ho cents per
day,
The railroad officials could not
r-ompell theso merchants to unload
the material as long as they paid
demurrage, but finally they had t-
refuse to receive outgoing stuff
from such merchants until they
emptied the cars they were using.
. iuch u tion brought some reli.'
there. 200 cars would make some
relief. .Such a condition exists in
J-an Francisco to a vastly greater
extent, thousands of cars are tied
up there, but tha railroads have no
way of forcin ? the merchants to mi
iood cars, for they are not shipping,
and have no place to store, their
Mores often doing a $loo,ooo busi
icssina $io shop, stacked to the
oof. The cars tied up in this way
would mean a big lift to the lum
I er shippers. The S. P. is going
after cars and will in lime have
enough, but the question is. what
affect will the present shortage
have on the country until the
shortage is relieved
ot Mont 'i tin or I'o'ora do. Th' f

the northwest situated in th"
midst of that region which IUr.n i
Webster described as fit t 11 1 for
the abode of w il l be-its and wiid'-r
men." The wonderful ! e me- t
of tins valley has be :i broaght
about entirely by private irrigation
developmint. yet the (iovenuuvnt
irrigation tigineers consider it an
almost ideal irrigation community.

In thr first place there is a splen
did water supj !y. To the west a:e
the gleaming snow-fields of the'
Cascade mountains who.-e ghi.-ial I
streams fee 1 the sw ift-nmning Weu-'
atchee river which as it emerges,
from the valley becomes a ui!u-
tary of the great Columbia. The j
valley is sheltered from the bleak j
winds by surrounding hills, so that;
fruit trees have uev. r been kuown I
lo be damaged by cold. There are!
no great farms on the Wenatche
tion i t th" company, the tract li.is
enot inoa-ly iucic'ised in value.
The climate is ideal; no icy winds
c )tne into the valley to injure crops
before maturity, and the soil whi. h
has b"en reeking in fertility for cen
turies, only needed the kind tou.-h
o' water to make it bloss.ua and
!ring forth fruit We have con
sidered the settlement of the S'c
natchte valley so i leal that it has
been taken as an example after
which to pattern the Okanogan
project, in Washington, now under
coiis-i lt r itioii by the Reclamation
Service. ' '

The Christmas holidays will be
gin Dec. 22 and will continue un
til Jan. 2 011 which day school will
hi re-opjned.
Miss Mabel Maekie who was out
of school for a couple of weeks on
a. count of the death of her aunt,
who hue been sick with consump
tion for a long time, and whoso
body was brought back from
Southern California to Walker for
burial,
and river meet. It is but a few
hours to Tacoma an1 Seattle, while
the local advantages are in them-st-lvfcH
very great. The orchards
and farms ure so small that the en
tiie valley resembles a great su
burb. It is but tailing distance
from one house toa ioth.-i. ICuch
has a telephone, ruuiiiui; water, the
rural free delivery and .-! in
lights are being insthla-d. Tie
roads are like streets and schools
and churches are at close intervals.
No more highly developed com
munities can be found in the world
than the irrigated fruit commu
nities of this country. Social con
ditions reach a higher plane than in
any other das., of settlement. The
owner of five or ten acres of orchard
enjoys practically all th advan
tages and improvements of the lar
ger centers, coupled with a breath:
ing and u growing space for the
family, and an occupation such uh
it was intend' d that man should
engage in. The w -ter for irrigat
ing the valley is drawn from the
Wenutehee River, through some
thirty miles of ditch of the We-
natcheo Canal Company. This
company is now projecting an ex
tension to cross the Columbia river
a great $100,000 combined bridge
and viaduct to carry water for irri
gating tight thousand additional
acres.
