" Sam Hughes Go "House of Reliable Merchandise" "A new type of freight locomotive has been built for the Union Pacific System by the Baldwin Locomotive Works," said Mr. J. P. O'Brien,, Vice President and General Manager of the O-W. R. R. & N. Co. "It is of mas sive construction, and in its operation will take the place of two locomotives of different types at present in use on freight trains. "The total weight of the eneini, and tender is 552,000 pounds. The driving wheels are ten in number and have a diameter of 63 inches, the engine is a coal burner, with a fuel capacity of seventeen tons and a tank capacity of 10,000 gallons. "The new locomotive is capable of hauling, on a level track, 22,930 tons, or a train of 305 modern 50-ton freight cars loaded to capacity.' In other words, it is capable of hauling a train more than two miles in length. The capacity of the Mikado, one of thft Ifirnmntivao in ha yarAannA 1 E ..kj v uj iviuvcui id-au,- 553 tons, or 207 cars." I v- -------- - I 9 ji&K it FROM every viewpoint, the Paige "Six'39" is an ideal family car. It is large enough to seat five 'full grown passengers in luxurious comfort. It is small enough to keep gasoline and tire bills sup prisingly low. And as everyone concedes, it is handsome enough to be recognized as "The Most Beautiful Car in America."

PAIGE-DETROIT MOTOR CAR COMPANY, DETROIT. MICHIGAN Rivers Auto Co., lone, Oregon 45 from Eastern Oregon and the Port land Chamber of Commerce has pre pared, exhaustive data on the econ omic advantage of locating an army camp at Hermiston. This survey in cludes railway transportation, the cost of foods required by the troops, material used in the construction of the camps and handling of troops generally. It is also pointed out that climatic conditions are generally exceptionally favorable at the site examined. There Is a very light rainfall to Inter fere in any way with troop maneu vers. Snow never falls to such a depth as to interfere seriously with marching and training and when it does fall remains on for a period of only one to three weeks during the year. Wind velocities have been found very favorable also because of the fact that the average monthly winds are but little more than breezes and there are no high wind velocities which would retard the operations of military forces at any time of the year. Oregon is fortunate in approaching this problem by having as Chairman of the Military Affairs Comlttee of the United States Senate the Honor able George E. Chamberlain. Sena tor Chamberlain could be more influ ential in securing the location of camp in this state than any other man in Congress if economic condi tions were right. TI13 committee handling the problem believes thai the economic study reveals positive advantages and that there is no rets on why the senior Senator from Ore gon should not exercise his full in fluence to have a great encampment placed at Hermiston, The requirements in deeded ground range from one to two thoun and acres only, which amount the committee handling the mater have agreed shall be donated to the gov ernment without charge. In addition an acreage of from thirty to thirty five thousand acres is required tor Irllls and maneuvers. This addition al land is available in the public do main adjoining the site proposed to be deeded and under the ownership of the Northern Pacific Railway and the Oregon Land and Water Co. No difficulty whatever will be experien ced in getting permission from the private owners for the maneuvering and drilling privilege and in this re spect the case seems to be in satisfac tory form. In placing camps where troops might be quartered and trained Ore gon has been overlooked. A small de velopment took place at Vancouvei, the time-honored department head quarters of the Northwest. The main development for the Northwest has been concentrated at American Lake near Tacoma. Most of the other en campments have been placed in the South. It is declared by military men that the southern locations in the heat of summer and perhaps at cer tain other periods when the rain is abundant will not nearly be so desir able as the high, dry lands of Uma tilla County, where such an admir able climatic condition is found and where the temperatures are favorable both winter and summer. An appeal has been made by the committee handling the problem for the entire state to rise as a unit in the request to.Senator Chamberlain and the War Department to give consider ation to this location as a training camp, senator cnamberiam arrived in Portland October twenty-fourth. The committee feels that It the state expresses its desire for a great army camp of the character under consid eration and pours In requests upon the Senator for his utmost support, that it ,is likely favorable action will result.
