i the newspaper game, published the
first paper ever isued in lone, about

"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.

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."

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.
