Land Oiiiee at The Dalles, Ore gon, wovemoer in, i;io. iNotice is nereov eiven mat Charles G. Skogsberg, one of the heirs and for the heirs of John G. bkogsberg of Maupin, Oregon, who on bee. 11, 1922, made Homestead Entry No. 02281; for n1-2nw1-4, section 11. ne1-4ne1-4 Section lu, township b south Kange 1 east, Willamette Meridian, has tiled notice of intention to make final proof, to establish claim to the land above described, before V. D. Stuart, United Mates Commissioner, at Maupin, Ore gon, on the 27th day of December, 1023. Claimant names as witnesses: C. A. Duns, of Criterion, Oregon, r. L. Rutherford' of Criterion, P. J. Kirsch, of Criterion, Oregon, W. E. Hunt of Maupin, Oregon. J. W. Dounolly, Register. A low freight rate and no cars in which to ship is as unsatisfactory as a low price for bread and no bread. Heretofore, fall harvest has brought a widespread shortage. Last year it was 140,000 cars. This year there is generally a' surplus of cars throughout the country and especially of box cars in the West and Northwest, notwithstanding the roads are handling the greatest volume of business in their history. , There's a Reason! For 1923, all the railroads of the United States joined in a co-operative effort and with a defined program to improve traffic conditions and to establish new standards of service, even excelling pre-war records. In fulfilling this program, 134,636 new freight cars and 2,963 new locomotives were put in service between January and October, 1923, a larger number than in any similar period within the past ten years. Remarkable progress has been made in reducing the number of locomotives and cars awaiting repairs, 86.3 per cent of the locomotives and 93.3 per cent of the cars being in serviceable condition in October. More railroad coal has been placed in stock pile storage and more commercial coal dumped at Lake Erie ports than in any previous year, thus making equipment available for other necessary traffic during peak periods. From an average movement of 22 miles per day, (including idle time) in 1921, the railroads made 29.2 miles in September, 1923. In the 42 weeks from January 1 to October 20, 1923, the railroads loaded and moved 40,545.620 cars, which was an increase of 18 per cent over 1922 and 10 per cent over the record year of 1920. Ins't this a splendid tribute to the efficincy of the carriers and the co-operation of shippers? The roads are spending this year 700 million dollars for new epuipment and 400 million dollars for other improvements. Years ago James J. Hill, the great railroad builder of the Northwest, said thatthe roads must spend one billion dollars every year for addi tions and betterments to keep abreast of the country's growing traffic, but this is the first year in twelve ' that the railroads have found it possible to obtain that amount. Such eupenditures have a vital bear ngon national prosperity, contributing to the expan i on of industry and employment of labor, increas ng the demand for products of mine, forest and arm. - This $1,100,000,000 being spent in 1923 is almost entirely new money, and not taken from earnings. The expenditure is based on the conviction that the American people will encourage compensatory rates and discdurage attempts to embarras the railroads in their efforts to provide adequate service. It is not predicted on present earnings for even in this record , breaking year, it is unlikely that the roads will earn the 5.75 per cent on their valuation permitted by the Interstate Commerce Commission under the Trans portation Act, but which if they do not earn they do not get. , ' Anti-railroad laws produce no freight cars. v Constructive suggestions are always welcome. C. S. GRAY, Omaha, Nebraska, President. December 1, 1923. UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM travel on Christmns. With the holiday greetings of the Union Pacific System". Both operating and traffic departments of the railroad are co-operating to see that Santa doesn't miss a single train that carries an observation car, and a large staff has been especially assigned to assist in seeing that the huge amount of presents and trimmings necessary are proper ly distributed and waiting at the various strategic points along the U. P. lines where the many trains can best be caught. The Portland Limited will be started from Portland by Santa on the 24th and other trains will be met at Ogden, Salt Lake City Los Angeles, JPocatello, Cheyene Denver, North Platte, Kansas City and Omaha.
