/ ! i The Shertoau County Observer, Moro, Oregon, Friday, June .(b r~< 19âü as* Billion* For Service Megro Couple Arrested on Charges of Car Thefts At the present time the American railroads hare an aggregate invest ment of more than 1*25,000,000,000, the largest in history. This represents an increase of over four billion dollars in the last six years. A few yean ago, in 1922 and 1923, the nation suffered from inadequate and comparatively inefficient trans portation service. Traffic could not be moved swiftly because of lack of facilities and shippers in every part of the United States complained of heavy losses. Consequently the railroads inaug urated a rolicy of improvement and betterment Costa were cut in every phaie of operation, but never at the expense of standards of service. New capitol was poured in. Equipment — ■ replaced or improved. And the resalt it that at the present time car shortages or delays in fregh t ship ments are practically nnknuwn. Every American citizen hes 1 ene- fitod and prospered, directly or in directly, from improved railroad st r ice. The present fast tempo of oui commercial and agricultural opera tions is absolutely dependent on trans portation facilities. Anyone who thinks back over the years, remember the hit-and-miss service of the past, must appreciate the magnitude of the railroads' achievement. Home Pointers W. C.

There they stole a light touring car The youngster said they were fol lowed out of Pasco by a car going at a high rate of speed, and Harold de clared he tried unsuccessfully to signal the other car to halt the negro car thieves, but Well drove too fast and outdistanced the pursuers. The last stolen car was abandoned east of the rock crusher beyond Rufus, after Well had stolen five gal lons of distillate from the crusher and attempted to start the stolen car on the distillate. Harold was sleep ing in the car, but rode to Fleck or chard where a call was sent to The Dalles and Moro to officers. In the meantime Well and the woman helped themselves to cherries in a nearby orchard and later hid in K. windbreak near the railroad track where they were discovered by the officers.

Harold was taken to Moro by Sheriff Chrisman and from here Jak en to Pendleton to appear as the principal witness against Well and the woman. Mrs. Martindate said she was married, but declined to volun teer further information. Young Gillette’s story indicated that his life had been no bed of roses. His father, Charles A. Gillette, lives in Omaha, while his mother, now re married, lives in Great Falls, Mont. Harold said he beat his way from Omaha to Great Falls to see his moth er, who was reently hurt, and then came west looking for work.
