YES, PRUNES COST MORE THAN BIG LOCOMOTIVES While still less costly than prunes and not half so expensive as butter, the price of locomotives has increas ed more than ten cents a pound since 1915, according to J. H. Dyer, gen eral manager for Southern Pacific company. With prunes quoted at 19 cents and butter at 40 cents a pound, the company last year paid an average price of 17.3 cents a pound for 11, 218,600 pounds of locomotive,; as compared with an average cost of 7.09 cents a pound in 1915. "Public interest has occupied it self largely with the advancing cost of living," said Dyer. Tew people however, are aware of the fact that during ten years in which food stuffs prices advanced 46 per cent, the cost of locomotives advanced 140 per cent. The Pacific type locomotive that in 1925 cost $25,585 now costs approximately $75,000. "Other costs of railway equipment and operation have increased pro portionately. Meanwhile railway in come, restricted by legislation, has shown no increase corresponding with either the mounting cost of living or the swollen expense of rail road operation. j 22 Years Ago j GOOD FISHING REPORTED Marion Hansell, Dean Pinkerton, Lloyd Michener and Penn Harris were among the fishermen who spent Sunday on the Umatilla river.
