The purcnaaea line, built bv the Washburn timber hold ing interests, is fourteen miles in length, from Wilkesboro, the westerly terminus of the United Hallways tine, to Aagaard. This purchase followed closely the acquisition by tne ureal Northern and Northern Pacific of the Portland, Astoria & Pacific line, con atructed from WilkeBboro to the cen ter of Nehalcm valley, thirty-three miles. .... . These our chases give the Great Northern and Northern Pacific a de cisive advantage by extension of these feeder lines to develop and hold the nrosnective Immense timber and lum ber traffic from the great forests of Northwestern Oregon. But railway and timber men who are well in formed on plans that are incubating hold to the opinion that the two north ern transcontinental systems will yet have competition from the Union Pa cific. Gray Hears Proposals It is known, that Carl R. Gray, pres ident of the Union Pacific, who. has been in Portland since Monday, is tak ing a keen interest in proposals of timber owners to provide transporta tion facilities as a means of convert ing their stands of trees into lumber in localities where the Northern Facit- ic and Great Northern might not be prompt enough to make desired exten sions of the two new feeder lines of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle sys tem's United Railways, properties of the parent companies. Several repre sentative timber owners have had con ferences with President Gray and further meetings between them will be held on the railroad executive's next visit here. Owners of several of the largest timber tractH in Washington, Tilla mook, Columbia and Clatsop counties have raised a fund sufficient to make location surveys of tap line railways that would beat serve their needs and when the desired data has been ob tained the matter of extending rail connections into the timber will be considered further. It is known that the suggestion to anake these surveys came from President Ralph Budd, of the Great Northern, who formerly was a professional engineer, and probably he and the chief executives of the Northern Pacific will have the first opportunity to know what these surveys disclose. May Enter Astoria In the meantime, President Gray and the Union Pacific's engineering staff are assembling further data on the subject of penetrating the timber tracts of the northwestern corner of this state, even to the point of enter ing Astoria, although the original owners of the two lines just bought by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific planned to reach the coast and go on to Astoria ultimately. " The Southern Pacific also enters into the calculations of timber owners who desire railway facilities within the forests and opportunity to trans port by rail sawed lumber at tide water terminals from Tillamook bay to Astoria. The Southern Pacific's line to Tillamook is handicapped with heavy grades and sharp curves, which make its operation uneconomical and a solution seems to be in encasing a more favorable route. , Mills Forced Back There is said to be a probability of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific joining in providing trans portation facilities to timber tracts reached via the Wilson river and the Trask river, the former to build new line, with numerous feeders, from Forest urove or near there and ob taining from the Southern Pacifi trackaee riehts to and from Portland. Difficulties of transportation and the almost prohibitive freight rates made by trunk lines on logs to the Willamette river are forcing sawmills more and more into the timber. The transcontinental railways are not so much interested in hauling logs as they are to develop the traffic in fin ished lumber to distant markets. The big .railway executives are keeping tneir eyes nxect on tne map 01 ure gon where there are some large de velopments unfolding, of both rail road and lumbering significance. 90 Million Pennies a Month Ninety million pennies are' being rurnea out ot tne mints everv mont i to meet the demand for "odd cent" coles caused by war taxes. This is tin average of three million pennies a day. jt takes between 4w and out) men and women just to count the pen nies sna put them in .packages ior lamnution. However tney are not only ones ho are counting pen- iieas these days white having to IxmA dollar. - New Train Added and Changes in Running Tine Greatly Favor Beo vertoa and Portland Folks. If your friends in Portland want to come out and spend the evening or if you want to spend the evening in town, you will be doubly grateful to the Southern Pacific for the improved train service which will be instituted on the Red Electrics next Sunday, February 12. One new train is added, leaving Portland at 10 o'clock in the evening, running to Reedville, passing west through Beaverton at 10:28 and turning to Portland through Beaver ton at 10:48, This enables Portland people to came to Beaverton for the evening and return the same evening without cutting their visit short. The train which now leaves Portland at 10:10 in the evening has been ad vanced to 11:45 which will enable Beaverton people to keep dinner en gagements, attend shows or take in evening classes in the city. The morning schedule ib unaffected, except for the train now passing through Beaverton at 8:06 which will leave Beaverton at 7:42, passing the West bound train here. ' The evening schedule is changed so that the trains leaving Portland now at 8:15 will leave at 8:50, the 4:40 will leave at 4:60 and the late evening trains aB noted above. - Train No. 127, leaving Portland at 11:00, now running to Hillsboro, will be extended to Forest Grove, but the running time through Beaverton will not be changed. The added train in the evening wU meet with popular approval. The change in the morning schedule will please some; others will find it less convenient than the present train. ANNUAL FAIR AT O. A. C. By Edith V. Weed) The annual "Ag Fan-" at the Ore gon Agricultural college resembled an old time county fair with its side shows, livestock displays, exhibits prepared by the departments in the schools of agriculture and home eco nomics and a program of special fea tures. Special interest was shown the co ed milking contest. Much splashing of milk into the bright and shining pailH, caused the "Ag" youthB es pecially those of matrimonial intent to edge closer to see which of the five co-eds was progressing the fastest. Side shows, where two cents would admit the visitor to a tent containing such mysteries as "Campus Bugs," "A Private Still," and "Farm Crop Freaks," were very popular. The exhibit prepared by the soils department was awarded both the Cordley cup, and the First National Bank cup. Displays were judged a basiB of their educational value, the degree in which they represented the department which prepared them, their originality, attractiveness and simplicity. SLEDS FOR TAXIS Note In Petrograd hand sledB are used for taxis. From Petrograd comes the news For jitneys a sled they use Horses were killed for their meat That they might have such to eat. The street cars no longer run And gasoline they have none Their taxi it is now Baid Is nothing but a hand sled. There on the streets you will find Men dragging a sled behind, Going where folks want to go Over soft or well packed snow. On the corners you will see Them waiting like a taxi Though slow we know it is true It gives them something to do. Near palace where lived the czar You'll see the sled jitney car Of course you can't alep inside When you go out for a ride. As there is no gasoline, No one can use their machine Where the taxiB once did stand You'll find them now run by hand. O. O. SMITH. M. C. O'Connell and W. G. Hill are busy this week remodeling the .old telephone office for Ragolo Rossi.

Mrs. Frank Bornau and daughter, Laura, of Milwaukie, Wis., who have been visiting Mrs. Greener, of near tne radio station, ior some time, leit last week for California:. Mrs. Greener and Mrs. Bornau have not seen each other for thirty-five years, and it is needless to say that after sue h a long separation they had many topics of interest to aiscubs. Leonard Barber, brother of Mrs. S. E. Fayram, of this city, was badly crushed when the auto in which he and some other young people were re turning from a social affair, was run into by a street car. A surgical op eration and blood transfusion were necessary and he is in the Good Ha aritan hospital, getting along as well as possible. The Washington County Realty Board, a new organization, banqueted at the Washington Hotel Friday even ing last. There were about seventy five partook of this fine dinner, some from Portland, others from Forest Grove, including business men as well as red estate dealers were present. Following the dinner a splendid pro gram was enjoyed, after wh'ch came uddresses from speakers abroad. Jacob Weil and Miss Polly Silver, of Portland, were married at the Ben son Hotel Sunday last in the presence of about fifty relatives and friends. Morris Weil, brother of the groom, acted as best man and Miss Jean Kamusher as bride's maid. A sump tuous weddinr dinner was served in the Tyrolean room of the hotel after which the happy couple left on a trip to New York. They expect to make their home in this city. A houae belonrimr to Mrs. Welch on Garibaldi Avenue was totally de stroyed by fire recently. The house was vacant and Mrs. Welch had gone over to clean it, getting it in readiness for renters. About noon she went over to a neighbor's house and told him that she thought there must be aome kind of an animal up stairs as she heard a peculiar noise. The neighbor went to the house and found the second story in flames. By the time the fire company arrived the building was too iar gone to oe saved. There was an insurance of 800 on the house. T. J. Alien has found on interesting sidelight on the ways of corporations. When he completed his new bouse he aeked the North Coast Power Co. for electric lights. He was advlaed that the cost of building a line would be more than $200 but the Company re served the- right to put anyone elte on the line when built without any thought of reimbursing him fvr the line built. Then he thought he might build across his own field but was de nied. So he is going to install his own plant and light his house, barn and outbuildings, with his own electricity.

(By Edith V. Weed) ' "Bobbed hair should not be fnduged in by college women," lays Edna A. Cocks, director of physical education for women at the Oregon Agricultural college in regard to die recent bobbed hair erase now on the campus. "A woman's hair expreBBes her in dividuality and character," says Miss Cocks, "and if a woman deprives her-1 self of these two things she loses the respect of others. "Sampson's strength was in his hair woman's beauty is in her's, why should she prevent herself of one of the beauties of womanhood for the sake of timely fad T "Every girl has a right to disfigure herself, if she desires, but a woman's crowning glory is in her hair. "No college woman can possibly have the same grace, dignity and in fluence, she formerly possessed after bobbing her hair. HELPS EX-SERVICE MEN Oregon Agricultural College it pro viding education for SCO ex-service men who are availing themselves of this opportunity at the expense of the government, according to reports from Guy M.
