Waiting
Thcv re waiting for me by the sun down sea.
FriunJs of mv heart in the usej-to-be;
They are waiting for n-e at the violet gate.
Where shadows of love in the twilight wait!
They arc waiting for me, I know, I know. .
In the autumn lanes, hy the streams that flow
Out of the valleys of dusk and dew
The loved that 1 lost, and the leal, and the true!
They are waiting for me, and it makes life sweet.
As 1 go on the way cf the weary fleet.
To think of the shadows beside the shore
That will know me again as they knew me of yore!
They are waiting for me. the frail and the fair.
In the golden dream of the ambient air;
They are waiting for me hy the sundown sea,
Friends of my heart in the used-to-be!

Which Way Shall We Travel?
When E. H. Harrinian, the greatest constructive
intellect that ever turned his attenion to transpor
tation, took over the western railroads, he fought
to accomplish their highest possible efficiency as
carriers.
He reduced grades, cut out curves, enlarged sid
ings, shortened time for coaling and watering, en
larged rolling stock, speeded up trains and sought
enlarged volumes of traffic.
Twenty-five years ago the western railroads had
60-pound rails. Today most of them have 90
pound rails.
Then the freight cars carried 20,000 to 30,000
pounds freight. Todav. freight cars carry 50.000
to 100,000 pounds freight.
Harriman found them single-track railroads.
Today they are double-track on all divisions re
quiring it.
Roosevelt fought to break up the big railroad
mergers and said he would send Harriman to Sing
Sing.
Legislation follow ing his fight stopped the rail
road clock and for fifteen years our country has
spent millions annually, not on needed new rail
roads but on valuations, accounting, legislation and
regulation.
Every cent a railroad takes in or expends must
be reported in duplicate or triplicate to state and
federal commissions, costing millions annually but
producing not one cent of new business.
In fact this entire useless, predatory interfer
ence has to be paid for out of the pockets of the
people in high freights and fares and. on top of
this, the army of officials and their families ride on
free passes.
It takes six different classes of unionized labor
to repair a locomotive headlight. In the old days
the engineer did it. Thanks to Mr. McAdoo, it is
all added to the freight.
The great scarcity of unskilled labor prevents
railroad expansion and common labor is costing
some of the eastern railroads from $4 to $7 a day.
The farmers cannot afford to pay such wages
and millions of acres of corn are going unhusked.
The three per cent immigration limitation is
making European countries hate our country,
blocking our development and raising the cost of
necessities of life.
There will be no new railroad building to speak
of for years to come under the rule of limitation
of earnings. There may be consolidation of lines
by the Interstate Commerce Commission largely
controlled by officials who never spent a day of
their lives in railroading.
In the days before the uplift reform wave any
man or group of men could project a new railroad,
make a survey, get a franchise and go ahead on a
long chance of making a big stake. Most of them
lost their time and money but they loved the ex
citement of the game as true Americans following
the impulse of enterprise and initiative.
That is all done away with, state and federal
commissions, blue sky laws, rates that throttle
otherwise productive corporations by placing re
strictions on the earnings, regulations and red tape
tie the hands of individuals who otherwise might
have the pep and backbone to undertake large new
enterprises.
The American railway system has become water
logged from over-legislation and over-regulation
and may never recover its old-time healthy rate of
rapid growth and expansion.
Millions of money are now spent annually on
thousands of state and federal officials to super
vise and overhaul the properties and activities of
American railroads. Will this army never stop
until we have the highest finished product of Eu
ropean paternalism? Our country will travel in
this direction or it will go back to just plain common-sense
American ideas of railroading. The

The announcement of Mr. Barratt that there is
still a chance that money will be forthcoming for
the completion of the Jones Hill unit of the Oregon-Washington
highway, is encouraging, and it
is to be hoped that the commission may be induced
to see how important it is that this uncompleted
job be finished. It is well to remember, however,
as Mr. Barratt suggests, that there are many other
portions of state highways over Oregon that are
in condition identical with this, and if the money
is lacking, and the commission see fit to finish
some other road that they consider of greater im
portance, we shall have to be content. However,
Heppner people 'ill regret to see Mr. Barratt re
tire from the commission and will always remem
ber that he did all he could for his own part of the
state, conscientiously, and that much we have re
ceived would not have come our way but through
his efforts.
Do your Christmas shopping early; get those
packages into the postoffice before the big rush is
on; patronize the Heppner merchants, and thus be
prepared to enjoy a real Christmas with a clear
conscience.
