Chicago Building Shows 10-Fold
Increase Over Year Ago Pas
senger Travel Gains Large
R. H. Aishton, regional director
for U. S. Railroad Administration,
sends out the following optimistic
report of general business conditions
under recent date:
General business is good in alt
lines and while it is affected more
or less by the car shortage and con
stantly recurring labor- troubles,' a
general improvement is shown. The
demand for all manufactured articles
is such that the sales forces of a good
many concerns have sold their entire
output In less than one-third of the
usual time required to accomplish it.
Instances are reported where sales
men were on the road only three
weeks in order to sell the same
amount of goods as was sold last
year in seven weeks.
The movement of lumber and for
est products, 18,767 cars, shows an
increase of over 5,000 cars compared
with 1918, and is the record move
ment so far this year. Of this amount
11,311 cars wereloaded in tine Pa
cific Northwest, notwithstanding
the char shortage and the fact that
only about 60 per cent of the orders
were filled.
A careful estimate of the ore ton
nage for the week ending September
27th is 2,203,500 tons compared
with 2,125,641 tons a year ago. This
represents an increase of 77,859
tons.
The coal situation at the head of
the lakes is again normal and all
docks have resumed work since the
strike was settled, following the re-rur.-.ption
of work 3200 cars wore
loaded and forvarded the first week.
ThiB figure could have boen doubled
!k" .'ip cn.rs been available.
Light rains in territory east of
the Mitsour river have placed the
foil In splendid condition for fall
work such as plowing and the sowing
of v.-lnter wheat. No early frost has
been reported and Che corn crop is
now beyond danger. An estimate of
I he com crop in the state of Iowa
Indicates that It will be 12 per cent
over the ten year average and of ex
ceptionally good quality.
Building operations In the Chlcr.:o
district have been renewed cn a large
scale since the stilke of carpenters
was settled. The men returned to
cork on Monday morning, the 22i'd
instant, and it Is estimated that
work amounting to more than . -ie
hundred million dollars will 'now he
ttarted. Building permits In tne
Chicago district issued during fie
past week amounted to a total of
$3,600,000 as compared with 350,
000 same week last year.
There Is a continued Increase In
passenger travel, notwithstanding
the UBiiul vacation and summer tour
ist ieason Is practically over. Ticket
vhU at nearly all stations show nr
Increase and this Is especially tru '
of local tickets.
Expo' t rWmnre rt ris t i'ound
ports during the week amount t
440 earn, with hitIh1n of 376 cars.
The toti'l on "hand at terminal la
less than 1000 cars and tne rapHr'ty

Ex-Soldiers Should Investigate Ful
ly Before Allowing Their
Policy to Lapse
The farms of the country contrib
uted about one-fourth of the man
power of the forces of the United
States' engaged in the war.
It is estimated that 1,200,000 men
who served in the army the navy and
the marine corps were born and rear
ed on American farms.
A total of 4.539,048 men took
out War Risk insurance, their aggre
gate policies totaling nearly $40,-
000,000,000, and each policy averag
ing $8,700. Of this total insurance,
service men from the farming dis
tricts carried approximately $10.-
420.000,000, and by far the greatei
percentage of this Insurance war,
made payable to wives, mothers, fa
thers and other relatives who reside
on farms.
The average age of men who fell
In action, died of wounds- or from
other causes during the war, was 26
years, and because of their youth,
by far the greater percentage were
unmarried men, which explains
why 47 per cent of the policies taken
out named mothers as beneficiaries.
16 per rent named fathers and only 7
per cent named wives.
In the original War Risk Act pro
vision was made for the policies
written on service men during the
war to be continued an permanent
government Insurance. To avail
themselves of the opportunity to con
vert their War Risk Insurance into

An important meeting: of tJie board
of directors- of the John Day Irriga
tion district was held in the office of
F. R. Brown, secretary of the board,
'his forenoon when progress towards
early action on the preject was made.
Hon. Clay C. Clark of Arlington,
president of the board, and M. D.
Clark of Heppner, director, F. R.
Brown, secretary and F. A. McMena
min, attorney for the board were
present at the meeting. Director
John Kilkenny is out of the state on
a business trip and could not be
present.
There having been some irregular
ity in the organization proceedings
and the validity of warrants issued
by the board having been questioned
it was decided to have the matter
settled in the circuit court through
a friendly suit to be brought at the
November term.
As a means of getting light on the
question Mr. McMenaimin was in
structed to secure all the data and
submit same to Geo. T. Cochran,
superintendent of the water district
for Eastern Oregon and arrange
with him to attend the next meeting
of the board. If is believed thai
through Mr. Cochran's offices the
matter will be speedily and satisfac
torily adjusted.
E. J. Davis, a civil engineer con
nected with the U. S. Reclamation
service, and stationed at Hermiston,
was present at the meeting on the
invitation of the directors and gave
the officials a considerable amount
of Information. Mr. Davis Is intense
ly Interested In the John Day project
and ho proposes to make a further
survey on the John Day .river
this fall In order to secure needed in
formation for getting the project in
shape to begin to figure on securing
finances for construction. Mr. Davlu
says the former survey anil report In
raluable chiefly for the date contain

be attacked from an entrely differ
ent angle to make It a hiicccsk.
The project may call for the high
