The protest it ia understood, will be merely to have the railroad retained un til the 1943 crop has been haul ed out. We think that a sensible effort and one that hae every chance of being achieved. Judging from the figures con tained in the decision o f the ICC that agency .has pretty well estab lished the costa and revenues ob tained from the two sections of the bind: from Biggs to Grass Val ley and from Grass Valley to Shaniko. It was the commission's opinion, based on their figure», that the north end of the line had made money consistently—with the exception of one year when little wheat was shipped. The cosnrnis^on also discovered that the south end of the Yoad was not profitable Yet it held that the line should be kept to Kent because th e re w as definite need for It to haul out farm pro ducts and because thia part of the line might prove profitable in or dinary yean . Residents of this section know, and evidence submitted at the bearing and not refuted, shows that the line between Kent »nil Shaniko ia more ' expensive to maintain than that between Kent and Grass Valley. Thia ia true because of the numerous bridges. Breaking the costs and receipts from the line into sections was asked of the Union Pacific by the ICC. By this means It was discovered what part of the line was economically justified. Other parts of the line will he abandoned and the rails used in other places if usable at all. Thus the position of the remainder of the line is strengthened and further attempts to remove It will probably not be made as long as it ia need con sistently by the residents of the county. The effort of the people of Shaniko to keep the bine until this crop has been moved out has a good chance of success because it is unreasonable to believe that the Union Pacific will pull up nails when wheat ia ready to be shipped out over them. The coop eration o f the Commodity Credit corporatien could certainly be enlisted to aid in moving the wheat shortly after it has been w are housed. . There is certain to be some dis appointment over any decision that did not result in a complete victory for the county- We all hate to lose anything we have become used to using. Yet, the decision is more favorable to the cdunty than could have been ex pected at the time the fight be gan. Not only wae the county faced with a fight on the petition tar abandonment before the Interstate Commerce Commission, but at the same time had to fight a requisi tion by the War Production Board. The railroad company used the requisition to aid its case and the requisition, therefore, he'd to be decided first. This was the first railroad in the United States that was sav ed from the War Production Board which waa at that time in dire need of rails and steel «scrap far war materials. Only a showing of the need for m il transportation to move the large amount of grain grow n hi this county to feed markets and the active aid of Oregon’s senators and congressmen, made a victory possible ’T •• • FRWAY.
