Washington, D. C, July 16. Pro
tests continue against the refusal of
the Southern Pacific to restore train
service between Grants Pass and
San Francisco. The railroad now
transfers passengers at Dunsmuir,
places them in a motor coach and
ships them north. There is under
construction a vast army cantonment
at Medford and the refusal of the
railroad to operate passenger train
service into Medford and Grants
Pass is regarded as a serious handi
cap. The subject has been taken up
with the division of railroad trans
portation, office of emergency man
agement, and this is the reply of the
head of that division to a member
of the Oregon delegation: "Don't you
feel that the Southern Pacific is now
rendering all of the service that
should be required of the railroad
between Medford and San Fran
cisco?" Latest WPA project held up in
Oregon is to construct a water line
in Yamhill. The project has been
approved by the president as eligible
for WPA funds, but the report is

that there is a lack of needy workers
and until there are sufficient of
these the project will be delayed.
(WPA projects are intended to fur
nish work for the needy). There is
also the little matter of priorities for
pipe, and David Nelson of the war
production board is refusing prior
ities on pipe and other metal for
civilian purposes.
It is practically certain that alien
Japanese will not be used on the De
schutes project, which will soon be
suspended because of the abolish
ment of CCC, several hundred CCC
boys having been engaged in the
clearing and other work. Not wish
ing the project to be suspended for
the duration, a proposal has been
made that the alien Japanese be lo
cated there and carry on the work
of the CCC boys. Japanese are now
working in the Klamath basin coun
try on the dry bed of Tule lake; oth
ers are on a project in Idaho. The
relocation commission, handling these
aliens, investigated the Deschutes

that the idea will be turned down.
Growers of cover seed will do bet
ter this year than last. Triple A
has finally announced prices. Grow
ers of hairy vetch and crimson clo
ver will receive 10 cents a pound;
price was 7.25 cents last year. Com
mon vetch, ryegrass and Austrian
winter peas will be 5 cents; was 3
cents last year. Willamette valley
vetch will be 6.5; was 5 cents a pound
last year. Handling charges allowed
dealers will be 40 cents per 100, ex
cept for crimson clover and hairy
vetch, for which they will be al
lowed 45 cents per 100 pounds.
Government agencies have turn
ed thumbs down on at least two
new industries for the Portland area
(government was to do the financ
ing) on the grounds (1) that there
is insufficient power available, and
(2) there is a shortage of labor.
There is an abundance of power
and there will be all the labor de
sired, providing the federal housing
administration will supply some sev
eral thousand dwellings, portables or
dormatories, for the workers who
now go to Portland but after a short
time throw up their jobs in a ship
yard because they can find no place
to sleep. The housing problem will
be solved, although officials take
their time.
Canned boysenberries from Mar
ion county have been sent to Claude
Wickard, secretary of agriculture.
Little is known of the boysenberry
in the national capital and the quar
termaster department has no infor
mation on them. However, the quar
termaster at San Francisco has ag
reed to take them instead of black
berries if Oregon canners meet the
prices quoted for blackberries. Sec
retary Wickard has been informed
that the crop of boysenberries will
be about 1,000 tons.
City housewives are offered 2
cents a pound for the grease they
save and sell to local meat dealers.
The latter will receive 1 cent for
handling. From the grease, which
must be drained and put in covered
tin containers, glycerine will be ex
tracted for TNT. This is just another
of the salvage drives being promoted
by the government to convert waste
into useful purposes. The waste pa
per drive was so successful that it
was stopped. A series of drives is
planned for the future.
Bigshots in the war work do not
last long. Bill Knudsen and Sidney
Hillman were the works six months
ago. Now Knudsen is a three-star
general and has disappeared, and
Hillman has returned to his job with
the union.
