HOPE FOR IRELAND ONCE MORE.
JOHN IH'LL, it appears luis been pretty patient. 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. Hoi' people certainly de
serve it. The professional trouble-makers have had the run of things
long- enouj-'h.

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.

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." .
