I I THE HERMISTON THE HERALD, HERMISTON, HERMISTON OREGON. HERALD COAL SITUATION IS ALARMING! Published every Saturday at Hermiston, Umatilla County, Oregon, in the heart of Eastern The coal situation in the United States to day is rapidly becoming alarming. It is im- possible to secure mine labor. The car situa tion is becoming acute and of nation wide scope with no immediate relief in sight. Due to the long, hard winter, coal stocks of both commer cial consumers and industrial users are depleted. The situation is most unusual. Forecast of Supremacy of Chicago as Financial Metropolis of Nation Are You Going to Order Oregon’s great irrigated alfalfa fields, by the Herald Publishing Company. M. C.

C. WOODHULL, Formerly of War Trade Board Chicago has tributary to it the domain of an empire. The area drained by the Mississippi river and its tributaries, with its navigable lakes and rivers, unlimited water .power, fertile soil, inexhaustible mineral de posits and forest growth, coupled with the enterprise and energy of its people, has developed this region into the largest productive area of raw materials in the world. • A summary shows that more than half of the population of the United States lives in this great valley. It contains 70 per cent of the farm acreage of the nation, 75 per cent of its manufacturing industries, and the combined railroad systems in mileage and value represent 70 per cent of all its similar property. It produces 75 per cent of the wheat, 80 per cent of the hogs, 75 per cent of the cattle, 50 per cent of the sheep, 50 per cent’of the wool, 7Ó per cent of the cotton, 70 per cent of the oil, 90 per cent of the iron ore, 50 per cent of the lumber, and 60 per cent of the bituminous coal. The commanding position of Chicago, the financial center of this aggregation of potential wealth and boundless possibilities, determines its destiny as the future headquarters of the export business of the United States. As a result of the war a famine of raw materials and manufac tured products prevails'the world over, and the supply available for export in any considerable quantity is to be found only in the main pro ducing territory of the United States, the basin of the Mississippi valley. There exists no other equal area whose production exceeds this, and with such a constant inflow of wealth, can there be any question as to the supremacy of Chicago as the future financial metropolis of the United States ? ___________________ » __________ _________ Freight rates advance soon.

For instance, it takes two days ordinarily to send a letter the same distance that a person travels In one day. The person travels under private corporation rule, while the mails are under what we call public service. It is well known Chat telephone and telegraph service deteriorated under so-called government opera tion. Government employes move slow er, are bound by impractical rules and regulations not subject to com petition. Municipal street car lines do not secure the greatest politeness and efficiency from employes. It seems human beings need the stimulating influence, of having to hustle to hold their jobs upon merit.

This action will open the way for great development in the west. It will open Che way for elec trification of railroads, irrigation projects, pulp and paper mills, etc. This bill will unlock great natural resources which for years have been withheld from public use through lack of workable legislation. The west has won one victory In its fight for industrial development. „ - ===== 1 =====..= = 1 for Men and Boys. The sum- mer' weights at reasonable prices. ‘These are especially good values.
