(From Ralway Age.)
A locomotive which In 1914 cost
$27,876 will now cost $75,750, an
increase of 171 per cent. In 1914
a railway had to pay only about 5
per cent interest on the money Inves-
ted In a locomotive, while now it
; muBt pay about 7 1-2 per cent. There
! fore, its interest charges on a locomo
tive bought six years ago were $1,-
394 a year, while on a locomotive
bought now they will be about $5,
681 a year, an increase In fixed
charges of 310 per cent.
An average box ' car bought in
1914 cost about $1000, while now
it would cost about $3000, an in
crease of 200 per cent.' The Interest
on the Investment in the car In 1914
would have been about $50 a year,
while now it would cost about $225
a year, an increase of 350 per cent.
The foregoing statistics Illustrate
the advances which have occurred in
the prices of equipment and in the
interest that must be paid on the in
vestment in it. The increases in the
cost of constructing track and bridges
have not been so great but they have
been very large. In 1915 a ninety-
fjot through girder bridge could be
i bought and installed not Including
masonry for $6427. It would now
cost $15,117, an increase of 135 per
cent. These figures are based upon
records of the actual expenditures
of a certain road. In 1915 this road
paid $12,550 per mile for merely the
rail, track fastenings, ties and but
last used in the construction of a
new main track. The same mater
ials would now cost $26,234, an in
crease of 110 per cent, for like
classes of materials used in building
a mile of side track, including two
main track turnouts, this road In
1915 paid $8620. The same mater
ials would now cost $16,904, an In
crease of 96 per cent.
One important cause of the in
crease In railway expenses Is the
advance in the prices of all commodl
ties and therefore in the amounts
that the railways have to pay for loss
and damage to freight. A carloau
of apples in 1909 was worth $900,
while today it is worth $2300, an in
crease of 155 per cent. In 1909 the
freight revenue on a carload of ap
ples from Yakima, Wash., to St. Paul
was $255, while today it is $319.50,
an increase of only 25 per cent. II
a railroad paid a claim for the com
plete loss of a carload of apples In
1909, It took the freight revenue
from three and a half carloads of ap
ples, while now it would take the
freight revenue from seven carloads.
A certain railway recently was pre
sented a claim for $4511 for the loss
of a carload of beef. The high value
of the beef was of course principally
due to the increases In prices within
recent years. The freight earnings
from the shipment were $113.40.
Therefore, if the railway has to pay
the entire claim it will take the rev
enue from forty similar carloads of
freight an entire tralnload.
There is hardly a branch of rail
road operation in which unit costs
have not increased 100 to 300 per
cent within the last five years.

Umatilla County Sheriff Sends
Thanks and Appreciation
The folowlng letter has been re
ceived by the Gazette-Times from
Sheriff W. R. Taylor of Umatilla
county: .
Pendleton, Ore., Aug. 4, 1920.
To the Editor;
I desire to express through your
paper my appreciation of the great
effort and effective assistance render
ed by the friends of Sheriff Til Tay
lor In returning the murderers to
jail. I want to thank everyone, es
pecially those who took the more
humble parts, standing watch upon
the roads and at the stations, and
the people of Umatilla county have
my deep gratitude for their forbear
ance and good citizenship during the
trying hours when the murderers
were first returned to jail.
Respectfully,
W. R. TAYLOR, Sheriff.
The Oil Shortage
Production of crude oil, of which
gasoline Is a by-product, will soon be
a greater problem than the existing
gasoline situation, according to Qeo.
M. Swindle, secretary of the State
Chamber of Mines and Oil of Los
Angeles.
He quotes Government statistics
on gasoline and crude oil to show
that the decrease In oil production,
despite the increased number of wells
sunk within the last five years, Is the
vital cause for the present shortage.
Reports that large exports of oil
and the capping of wells by oil com
panies, are responsible for the gaso
line shortage were denied by Swindle.
Chance Wlson brought over a
bunch of fine cattle from Grant coun

Here's a new variation of an old
one:
Hack in the spring of 1918 an offl-'
ccr intercepted Private Wheeler, a
giant backwoodsman from Maine,
wearing a boche helmet and an air
of grundeur. He came out of the
clouds, however, at the sharp query:
"Who gave you permission to wear
German issue?"
"Please, lootnant," he stammered,
"don't make me give tills up. I had
icr uo awa witu seven jerries ter gu
my size."
The officer looked over his gar
gantuan proportions and his eyes wi
dened. "My God, man!" he exclaimed. "If
youever lose your shoes, the war's
lover." American Legion Weekly.
