Railway Workers Launch "Ship by Rail" Campaign The 4,965 employes of the Union Pacific in Oregon, aroused over the loss of freight and passenger busi ness to unregulated forms of trans portation, have in the past few months marshalled their forces in this and every other community served by their railroad, urging their fellow townsmen to ship and travel by rail. They frankly rec ognize the serious railroad situa tion which could easily result in further cuts in local payrolls. They are driving home the cold fact that the prosperity of these communi ties will stand or fall with that of the railroad; and that the railroad's prosperity depends on whether it gets the business for which it is constructed and equipped. Pointing out that the railroad, through the Union Pacific Stages Motor Transport pick-up and de livery service, now meets the fast est and lowest rate freight compe tition with the advantage of more carfeul and dependable handling by rail, the U. P. employes' groups are getting a hearty response from local merchants. Many merchants have pledged their full support to the "ship and travel by rail cam paign. In numerous Oregon towns the business men and the newspa pers have collaborated in issuing strong advertisements promoting the preferential use of the rail road's facilities. More than $9,000,000 was paid out by the Union Pacific last year in wages and salaries in the state. This huge sum was expended in Oregon by the wage earners who received it, supporting approxi mately 20,000 persons. Part of it was spent with merchants, part of it deposited in banks where it helps keep Oregon business ventures go ing, and a sizeable portion was paid out in taxes on homes because 2, 262 Oregon homes are owned by Union Pacific workers. Of the 4, 965 U. P. employes In the state, 3, 413 are heads of families. Taxes paid by the Union Pacific in Ore gon alone in 1930 amounted to $1, 361,196.49. It is not the Intention of the rail road or of the employes to attempt to abolish motor truck transporta tion, according to the spokesman for the employes and hte railroad. They realize that the motor truck has a field of its own in which it fills a very definite transportation need. It is the avowed purpose of the Union Pacific employes, backed by their company, to regain the busi ness lost to truck lines paralleling the railroads. In all fairness, the U. P. workers point out, shippers adjacent to the Union Pacific can well afford to patronize the rail lines and fur ther, to support the "ship and travel by rail" campaign. The Un ion Pacific Is now running a series of advertisements in Oregon news papers setting forth figures which demonstrate that the railroad is one of the state's basic industries and is therefore entitled to the sup port of other industries of the state. The railroad men base their re quest for cooperation on the asser tion that the rail service of the line is adequate and dependable and the experience of Oregon shippers bears them out. The vigorous and straightforward action of the rail men is calculated to promotet rail road employment and the stabili zation of the railroad industry.

Some kicks were made against foul riding by Johnny Bac kus, but were overruled. A trot ting race did not excite the pool buyers. Tom (Whetstone), Knox (Carrington) and Black Bess (Ry- chard) were the contestants with two heats going to Knox and the money to Carrington. Another race which was a hot one, so the Ga zette says, was participated in by Tinker, Dudelin Buck and Butter Creek Maid. It was an exciting race and Butter Creek Maid won. This race resulted in charges being filed against John Backus again and he was ruled off the track. The Gazette then tells us that Johnny Backus was later arrested for an assault upon Homer Harrington, the rider of Dudelin Buck. Backus was accused of whipping Homer on head and hands. It was furth er claimed that Backus used the whip on Jimmy Matlock, rider of Butter Creek Maid. "If he is prov en guilty of the offenses," pipes in the Gazette editor, "he should be ruled off the Heppner track for all time to come." At this time Morrow county was boasting of opal mines. A Mr. King of the Lombard Investment Co had arrived in town the previous evening to make an investigation of the properties. He reported hav. ing also inspected the opal mines at Moscow, Wn., but that the Mos cow opals were not to be compared with the Morrow county product. The opal mines were located in the mountains near Hardman. E. G. and E. H. Slocum operated the Heppner Furniture Co. and did "Undertaking a specialty." They were located on May street Pap Simons & Son, at the old stand on Matlock corner, had "hard blows by the bellows and hammer" for sale. The E. O. says: The so-called Liberal Union at Woodburn, Mar ion county, refused to allow Col. Bain, a temperance lecturer, the use of their hall on the ground that "there have been enough of them dam fools around here we are go ing to stop It" Usually, the most illiberal of men are those who take great delight in joining some so ciety styling itself "Liberal." John Q. Wilson arrived from Sa lem last Thursday evening. This morning he brought us a sample of his alfalfa which is fully five feet high. It was raised on his Hinton creek ranch. H.
