TELEGRAM SCOLDS HERALD.
On July Oth the Herald published an article under the
apt ion, "Portland Sits Up, '1'akes Nourishment", in which
comment was made on the fact of Portland taking a rather
unusual interest in irrigation projects in the Inland Kmpire
the particular instance being the Columbia Basin project
in eastern Washington, which was at that time about to be
looked over by a party of newspapermen and which Port
land newspapers and Portland commercial organizations
were exploiting to a rather unusual degree considering that
Portland was the exploiter and an irrigation project east of
the Cascade range was the exploitee. 1
Attention was also directed to the attitude of cold in
diflercnce Portland newspapers and commercial organiza
tions have always maintained towards the John Day irri
gation project and the statement was also made that pro
motors and friends of the John Day project are jubilant
over the changed attitude of the spokesmen (if the City of
Roses regarding irrigation in the mid-Columbia section
and the belief was expressed that, sooner or later, Portland
will become alive to the importance of assisting in the de
velopment of the John Day project which will mean the re
clamation of .(r acres of fertile soil within 130 miles
of Portland and with direct lines of transportation by rail,
river and highway already in operation, or possible.
On July X, only -' days after the Herald article was
printed, the Portland Telegram proceeded to scold the
Herald for presuming to criticise Portland about her atlit"
ude towards eastern Oregon projects, which showed reallv
roinnn'iidable speed on the pari of "The I 'a per that Doe's
I hings. ' bile the "hop off" of our esteemed contempo-

"Recent action taken by the chief
executives of the railways not only
of the greatest significance and im
portance under present conditions,
but is unprecedented in the history
of American railroads", declares the
'Railway Ase" in an editorial. "On
the recommendation of their Advis
ory Committee, which recently was
created, they have set up certain
standards of efficiency of operation
for the railways as a whole which,
by resolutions unanimously adopted,
they have pledged themselves to
make every effort to attain. This
is the first time any such action ever
was taken by the railways collective
ly. The purpose is to relieve the
present dire transportation situation
in the shortest possible time. The
significant feature of the standards
set up is that they are higher than
any corresponding standards hitherto
attained in the actual operation of
the railroads of the United States,
and are probably higher than ever
were attained in the operation of the
railroads of any country.
"This first standard is 'An average
daily niinynum movement of freight
cars of not less than 30 miles per
day'. The average movement per car
per day under' government operation
in 1018 was 24.6 miles and in 191!)
23.1 miles. The greatest average
movement over attained in any year
was in HUG, when it was 2G.9 miles.
If the railways should accomplish
what they have set to do, it would
mean practically five miles per car
per day more than was made under
unified povet nment control in 1!)8,
anil would hi! equivalent to addim;
four hundred to five hundred thoun
and cars to the available equipment.
equivalent to adding from 50,000 to
7 5,nO0 to the available supply of
ca it,.
The third standard established is
'The reduction of bad order cars to
a maximum of 4 per cent of the total
owned.' The last report upon the
subject showed 7.4 per cent, or about
178.000 of all the freight cars of the,
I'niied States in bad order. A re
duction of this to 4 per cent would
increase the useful available supply
of cars by about 80,000.
"The fourth and fifth standards
set up are 'An early and substantial
reduction in the number of locomo
tives unfit for service' and 'More ef
fective efforts to bring about the re
turn of cars to the owner roads.' "

Are you prepared to extinguish
that little blaze when it is first dis
covered? Sooner or later it will start
and you will need all your resource
fulness to know what to do quickly
in order to handle the situation. A
little thought and preparation may
mean the difference between success
and defeat, between saving the house
and losing it.
By forethought, I mean attention
to the practices of fire prevention in
order to keep the blaze from getting
started and by preparation I mean
the study of extinguishing agents,
and the provision of some effective
kind of fire extinguisher. Every shop,
faciory and store should be protect
ed by fire extinguishers and every
home .should have at least one in con
dit ion for use.
Only by anticipating and prepar
ing for things are we able to success
fully meet them. When an army goes
forth to battle does it go in a care
less, shiftless manner to meet the en
emy or does it go fully drilled and

Any man can save fifteen cents a day. This
is proved by the fact that there is hardly a young
man who does not spend thoughtlessly at least
that amount every day. '

oto stop leaks of this kind. Another is to bring

ol more than two thing-; Portland' has helped put over in'
the past Um ilic tlint'i benefit of eastern Oregon. The two!
inein :iiied were the opening of the Columbia nver to Meaui
boat navigation and the fact that Multnomah county mcni-i
hers ol the Oregon legislature actually oted to "secure,
stale backing, bv legislative action, for irrigation bonds is
Mied in the furtherance of I . I'd I T 1 M AT K enterprise."
The caphals are ours but the fact that (he Herald article
was written with particular reference tol'ortlands attitude
towards the John Day project and that the Telegram stud
iotisK avoids any reference whatever to that project gives
color In the belief that the Telegram does not consider the
John I). iv project as strictly "legitimate." Will the Tele
gram enlighten it s eastern ( hegon readers on tips point ?
Kastcrn Oregon is glad to have an open river to Port
land although mi tar as known here that improvement has
nol vel made or saved the producers of the Inland Kmpire
any particular money iur lias the river itself been o er
Utrdciied with a lloml of shipping. We are also glad P;
have the backing of the state on our irrigation bonds and
we applet i. ite the assistance given bv Portland in securinr
