There would have hii'ii jx'aei' in Ireland, h'oine time au", if the niilitant Irish in (lie 1 'nit i'd States hadn't insisted upon supplying the money ami linns with which to keep the fracas oiiiii. And yet, us far as re corded, J. J5. has made no particular protest. Now seven or 'irht New Yorkers have heen indicted for sendinr, or netting ready to send. u'boat load of machine Kims to Cork. If these indidments lead to the breaking up of the 1'. S. Irish war party, the cause of peace and interniitioniil ttnotl fccline; will be I'ullantly sorved. The men "who fought hardest for Ireland are content, and have been for some time. The recent elections have demonstrated that the Irish people hh a whole, prefer the stand of men like,Miclmel Collins to men like DcVnlera; that they want the treaty and peace and are :-iek to death of suffering and war. , ' lint just so lonjr as Irish-American hot-heads will supply the cash and the arms, and the political buncombe, there will be a disgruntled minority in Ireland willing to continue the hopeless riot of arson and bloodshed. 't " Now the -result of the elections coming- with the arrests in New York iig-siin revive the hope that Erin may finally be. granted a few years of peace, contentment and normalcy.

HUSBAND. ! ' Letters From Moscow to Medford IVtrotfrad. .May IB, 1922. A beautiful day. The late iriiiK Uuh runic at l:tnt, but in this hune A i i i -M-rinl and tri'ir city this ho ft ah it ml sunlight runic with a curious and to to spr-ak dia ma tic beauty. It is a noble and beautiful piare with some thing of the north and old Imperial ItUHsia about it that gives it an air all its own. Yesterday I had a faHyJnntlnR day working1 as checker at the port. A cargo of L 8. medical supplies was being unloaded part of the 4 million dollars worth of left-over army stuff and they were so short of men that I took a hand. ; Each package had a different liumbeK, Uie pfickngeH were of all sizes up to several hundred pounds and consisting of everything under the sun, from drugs and disinfectants to operating tables, beds and linen. All the time a rain .was falling, each packages nuiiKfr hart to be taken downwind the number wan gen erally on the bottom and these lists checked trj) with the army invoices later. There was something like 15, 000 packages in the ship and we scarcely made a dent In the pile. On wharves nearby wheat, corn and flour were coming- off in simitar quantities. The hullabaloo of Rus sian the efforts to give orders to stevedores the weighting and sorting and taking down numbers the at tempts to bring some sort of order but of tho mess all was groat fun. A. K. I'ertograd; May 18, 1922. Ijist night I hunted up my old friends the K 's. whom I met on the Volga in lfi. They are old regime people still and have forgotten noth ing and learned nothing. All three, father, mother and daughter, are working desperately for their mere bread. The mother gives singing lessons, the daughter gives English lessons, for which she is paid lf0, ono roubles. Just a trifle more than street car fare. The father works In some government office for 50 mil lion roubles a ' month, a pound of bread costs 150,000 roubles their only son, a fine young fellow in one of tho guards regiments, was killed in tho KdVslan offensive In 1 T 1 4 . ' K Where Is Oregon's in S. P.-C. KAN FKANC1HCO, June 19. Win. SprouW, president. Southern I'at'ifie company, today innued the following statement, "Where 1h Oregon's In terest '!" explaining how this state would be affected by the threatened separation of Central Pacific and Southern Pacific properties which have been under a single control since 1H70. "With reference to desire of the 1'nion Pacific to acquire the Central Pacific, it may fairly be set down by tho people of Oregon as the intention of government that public interest shall prevail over the self-interest of either of the roads concerned. The ! public are interested in the best rail way service, given with the greatest convenience, to thorn. I,et us see what this mentis for western andj southern Oregon,,, seiyed by South ern Pacific.; '-; i, $ faf "1 That ttie business of Oregon is! not ns a primary matter east and west bound, is hown by the fact that In li21 only IS per cent of the cars Southern Pacific handled In Oregon were given that company by shippers j ior aenvery xo raiiroaa ones ensi oi Portland for destinations beyond. This is less than one-fifth of the busi ness. "in the reverse direction the ears received by the Southern Pacific at Portland from Its rail ' connections, were hut 21 per cent. This is slightly over one-fifth of Hie business. "The murkets for so large a por tion of the products of . Western and Southern Oregon aro in tho Pacific coast group of states, particularly California and those markets the people of Oregon now reach through' a single carrier without interruption or complications. "2 If the Southern Pacific lines be torn asunder, then Tehama, Cali fornia, would be tho point nearest to the Oregon boundary. Tehama is 1 0 1 miles away. Thus the Southern Pacific with 1300 miles of railroad in the state of Oregon would he sep arated from Southern Pacific in tho state of California by a-distance of nearly 200 miles. . ' Orcffon loosen Millions. "3 If this separation had no other effect. It would tend to deprive Ore gon of its most valuable single item of business, for Southern Pacific now Is able to bliy its supply of ties, tim bers and other forest products' very largely from producers on its lines In Oregon. If unable to reach those producers except by paying freight to another carrier, this important business would easily go elsewhere and It amounts to many millions of dollars a year. "4. Such a separation would de prive Oregon of its chief source of car supply. The people on our lines in Oregon rely on Southern Pacific for cars, having never yet been able to get any supply from any line oast of Portland except for n small frac tion of their wants. Kven during federal control, the lT- S. raifroad administration found every resource failed except Southern Pacific for our Oregon line car supply. "Remember that in 1921 Southern Pacific sent northward to Ashland for its lines in Oregon over 34.000 empty. In addition to over 24.000 loaded cars. At Portland we receiv ed no addition to our car supply. on t h e co n t ra ry . In I ! 2 1 So u t h e rn Pa -clfic actually delivered to rail connec tions there 1.7ti0 cars in excess of cars We received from thorn at Port land. 1 "6 Suggestion h.s been made that by some plan the 191-mile gap in California between Southern Pacific in California and Southern Pacific in Oregon might be bridged unor Joint .rights of operation. This merely sub stitutes some uncertain rights f ownership fur direct ownership. It is a confession that troublesome dual substitutes would have to be at tempted to take the place of that singlo ownership and responsibility to which the public are accustomed. Irani On Shipper. "Every shipper knows what H himself an t-'officer, was one of the I court chamberlains and had a) ways hud noma gfjod Job with the old g-v ' eminent. Vuu can say that he was narrow and a not particularly usrful member of fciety from an American' point of view, but he was no wqi'se than all his family, relatives andj friends, a gentleman in the formal sense of the word, his wife a lady j from one of the oldest families, his daughter polished and cultured as young ladies of her s : are all over. the world. Their friends are scat-' tercd, some dead, some shot, relatives have disappeared, a young nephew for instance, and nothing has been heflrd of him. Their old life is gone, j as If they had been picked up ly the' scruff of the neck and thrown Intoj the middle of the ocenn to sink or) swim.1 Kvcn tho furniture, of- thou apartment Is not their own. .Half of, what they do. earn is swallowed up in taxes of various sorts, etc., etc. ! K himself has aged 15 years in the J last five. His wife likewise; although I not so much. -They are like people, living in a physical und men tat! prison and merely keeping nliw, through the instinctive stubbornness of the human animal not to yield at once to death. "KusKia is dead. Ueliglon Is dead. Morality is dead. Patriotism Is dead. The Kusslan people no longer exist. Are there other countries In Europe, do they still exist? I do not know. Here we know nothing." ' That is the way K runs on.. It Is very depress ing. Mrs. K.'s sister on tho other hand, a Mrs. V and a good deal more in telligent and far broader minded, has adapted herself philnslphically to the new regime. She works as a book keeper In the local (ward) Soviet, wears an old grey sweater and shab by shoes and when I turned up at her apartment she soon -had the samovar on and tea and black bread and cigarettes and was just as amus ing and as good n sport as she used to be. "It ,has been good for us," she said with a sort of Rtin, referring to their trials'.. .'.'As for me, : my eon and daughter have married since the revolution and are getting along well ( and nappny.--, iiiny time, or ino pne is content to wdrk.all day long." ( ; A. Jl. Interest P. Dissolution Suit? means to deal with two carriers on any given question of service com pared with dealing with one carrier, other condjfions equal. As a business question, everyone knows that when the business on and over a given piece of railroad is split between two carriers, neither has in it the direct interest of one carrier operating the same piece of track. Further, a di vided interest demands employees who must bo neutral and offend neither interest, but tho public do not like neutrality in questions of service, they preferring activity -and energy as more to tho public interest. "6 Beyond this any railroad man knows and most business men, that it is not practical thing to. give an other company tho main llneg- front Oregon -California state boundary to Uoseville - Junction in California, via Chlco, and from Sacramento through Stockton' to Fresno and Onshen, 489 miles, without interfering with the present service. It means the service of over nearly 500 miles must .be givpn by two companies instead of by one as now. It Is -useless to sug gest that this would bo an improve ment In the service for the public, whatever the combination or ar rangement made if It be short of the Southern Pacific retaining these lines in Its single control. What is true of this line is equally true of the local business generally. The commu nities served will have to look to two companies for their service where now they hold tine responsible. "7 What an the public business gain by such a change? Everywhere from Portland to San Francisco, San Francisco to Los Angeles, Los Ange les to Yuma and beyond, the public ask what can they possibly gain? "The answer onco more is: The public of Oregon have nothing to gain by breaking up these properties and stand only to lose by the com plications that follow." .
