For conductors and porters it

If von tan ni'i'ord it you
should make this trip. If not,
yon should make it as it is
made by the family waving six

tomobile on the highway beside
the railroad track. The trip
in that ,L'ur with five passen
gers, plenty of luggagi;ou both
sides and in the baek, costs for
gas and oil less than t."0. No
excuse for not seeing the whole
of this country.
Secretary Mellon tells the
soldiers that it ' would take
three thousand four hundred
millions of dollars to pay their

raise taxes in general and up

Secretary Mellon is probably
the country's greatest financial

mands respect.
Hut solldiers who want their
money in cash, feel that if pros

poured out billions for airships
that wouldn't fly, surface ships

PUIS KILL
BOY, GIRL IS
NEAR DEATH
Broken Exhaust Pipe Is
. Blamed by Coroner for
Death of Ray Crum in
Parked Car Nell Hill
Breathing Last in Hospital
A broken cxhanut pipo in an
old model Ford coupe resulted in
the death early this morning of
Hay Crum, 'i'l and the probable
demh of Nell Hill, IS, while the
car was parked near the home of
the girl's aunt and uncle, Mr. nnd
Mrs. U. ('. Hill, in Talent. Tho girl
is said to have no chance for re
covery ns an effect of carbon
monoxide gas poisoning.
The young couple hud returned
to the Hill dwelling around 9:30
Inst evening, after having visited
the girl's cousins, Mr. and Mrs.
Art Darby, near Talent. The fam
ily heard the car drive to the back
door of the house and beard the
motor running up until the time
they retired.
Between 3 and 4 oclock this
morning, Mrs. Hill still heard the
motor chugging, nnd becoming
anxious she opened a window to
call her niece. Upon receiving no
answer, Mrs. Hill rushed out to the
car and found the youth uncon
scious with his head thrown buck
over the rear of the seat. The girl
was slumped over with her head
resting on the knees of her com
panion. Taken Fmm Cur
The boy and girl were Immedi
ately taken from tho car, but be
f o re m ed lea 1 aid could reach the
place, Crura had died. The girl,
in an extremely serious condition,
was rushed to the Community hos
pital in Ashland, where this after
noon she was reported to be grow
ing rapidly weaker. She is said
to be too weak to undergo blood
transfusions and adrenalin is being
administered to strengthen her
failing heart.
Coroner H. W. Conger inspected
C'rum's coupe, a 1924 model Ford,
and found the exhaust pipe, at the
point where it attaches to the
motor, had been broken off, per-
, in it ting the carbon monoxide ex-
hnust from the engine to enter the
I car. The windows of the machine
j bad been rolled shut with the ex
i ception of one, which was open for
I two inches. The girl was sitting
! on that side of the car nnd her
position Is given as u reason why
she did not succumb at the same
time as Crum.
iii an Orphun
The girl is an orphan nnd had
resided with Mr. nnd Mrs. Hill for
the past three years, beginning
her residence In Talent a short
time after arriving from Okla
homa. She was n senior in the
Talent high school and was active
In scholastic affairs. Crum arrived
In the valley several years ugo
from Republic, Mo., and was em
ployed at the Sunerest orchards
as a general laborer for the past
three years. His body will be ship
ped hack to Missouri where his
relatives reside.

roRTI.A.VD. Ore., Jan. 30. (,V)
A tOOO-word federal court decision
today stood In tho way of the inter
state commerce commission's en
forcement of an order that the
Oregon-Washington Kail road and
Na viga t ion company count met a
lK.i-mile crus.s-.itate line from
t nine to Crescent in central Ore
gon. Tho decision, written by United
States Circuit Justice Rudkin. was
handed down here yesterday by
1-ed m I Judge M cNa ry . C ircu 1 1
Justice Wilbur was the third judge
who heard the caye.
The decision held that the com
mission may not require railroad
to construct new lines In territory
they do not profe.- to serve nnd
that In the present cn.se. the O.-W.
R. & N. does not profess to serve
the territory through which the
proposed road would run.
lrovlslon Too Broad,
The decision held the provision
of the transportation act authoriz
ing the intcrritate commerce com
mission to require carriers to ex
lend their lines, Is unconstitutional
and void if it must he construed
as broadly and liberally as was
done hy tho commission when It
issued it.'t order in December, 1 H 21,
requiring; com-d ruction of tho llne.
It was tho first time this pro
vision of tho act had heen heard
In federal court and attorneys con
nected with the case ald they ex
pected It would bo carried to the
wupreme court for final decision.
IJue Iong- Sought.
Construction of tho line had been
sought hy central Oregon interefds,
the Oregon puhllc service commis
sion nnd the 'Idaho public utilities
commission, as a means of provid
ing transportation facilities Hint
are said to he much needed In "that
part of the state.
The petition for nn Injunction
restraining tho commission from
enforcing Ita order was filed here
last June, n few days, before con
struction was to have started.
Arguments on the petition were
heard three times. In each of the
first two oiiHeit one of the Judges
hearing the case died before a de
cision could lie renehed and be
prepared.
iWAHIUNr.TON. Jan. 30. fP)
Chnlrman Rrnlnerd of the Inter
state commerce commission said
today the commission undoubtedly
would carry to the supreme court
an appeal from tho decision of the
federal court In Oregon, denying
tho commission's power to require
construction of a new railrond
acroHH that state.
"The commission, hiving made
the order, will undoubtedly seek
to have the question of lis author
ity settled hy the supreme court,"
Chairman Rrnlnerd said.

Settlement of tile commercial flail
ing controversy that has appeared
at every recent xeaslon of the leg
islature by giving the state the sole
right to engage in the industry as
far as salmon fishing is concerned
on a commercial nasis is trie plan
of Reresenlative Morton Tompkins,
Yamhill county. He may Intro
duce such a bill and If not will
place it before the people through
the initiative.
"I believe the people of Oregon
are tired of this question and I
cannot remember a time when It
has not appeared before the legis
lature, resulting in much vote trad
ing and manipulation," Tompkins
declares. "The taxpayers own the
fish and have never received any
benefit from their possession.
State Would Flh
"Under the plan 1 have In mind
the state would engage In commer
cial salmon fishing, leaving the de
tails to be worked out later. The
state would have, the right to use,
either traps or gill nets,; the meth
od to be determined after the most
economical manner hud been de
cided upon. Under state direction
the fish would be conserved, need
less competition eliminated and
the revenue derived returned to
the state to help reduce, the exist
