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.

Harold said he was frightened hut
had no choice but to follow his strange
companions, who he said stole a light
coupe at Adams and drove it to Echo.
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. They made no resistance
nor could any weapons he found, al
though the Gillette boy claimed the
man carried a .38 caliber revolver.
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. His
step-father, he said, was in the peni
tentiary for car-stealing.

variety or purity, but the court held
that the doctrine of express warran

warranty. The word ‘warranty’ is not
necessary to .it. An affirmation of
the fact as to the kind or quality of

he would not be a candidate for the
United States senate from Nebraska.
Mr. McKelvie, though not fixing a
definite date for his retirement from
the board intimated it would be in
two or three months.
"There are several phases of my
work— particularly centering upon
development of group marketing—
that I want to curry out to a success
ful conclusion he fere I leave the
board,” he stated.
In announcing his decision, Mr.
McKelvie recalled that he had ac
cepted President Hoover’s appoint

should retire June 1 this year. In
continuing beyond that date, he ex
plained, it would permit him to ful

Emphatically denying he would
become a senatorial candidate or
would consider any overtures to
ward that end, Mr. McKelvie said
he would return to Lincoln, once off
the board, to devote his entire time
to business interests.
