Phone 268 OFFICIALS HERE 10 TALK TO SHIPPERS Freight shippere of Medford and southern Oregon were invited to luncheon today at the Hotel Medfwd to meet and confer with C. O. Cam eron, vice-president in charge of traf fic for the Jllinols-CentrU railroad, who arrived this morning In a privace oar, accompanied by Mrs. Cameron, W. D. Stubbs, western traffic man ager from San Francisco. H. J. Nelspn, general agent at Portland, and J. 3. McLaughlin, district traffic agent In Portland. Mr. Cameron makes periodical trips on the average of once a year through the United States, calling on shippers C. C. Cameron and visiting agenta. His itinerary so far has covered the northwest terri tory, and will take the party through California and Texas before returning to Chicago. Mr. Cameron stated that throughout his trip, he has noted a cheering optimism and definite up turn in business prospects all over the country, with business men every where voicing a confidence In "better times." Mr. Cameron said: "The importance of a first-class railway plant and a capable personnel to the patrons of a railroad cannot be overestimated, in my opinion. Here ?s one example, taken from th freight aide, which' I think will prove my point: "As practically everyone ksows, the time of freight in transit on the rail roads of the United States has betn greatly reduced in recent years by reason of the higher speed and better handling of trains and added con venience of schedules. A recent esti mate gave the value of freight han dled by the railroads during 1034 as a little more than 930,000,000,000. At fi per cent, the interest bill on that amount of investment for a sin gle day would be approximately 4, 000,000. In other words, If only one day was saved per average shipment, the freight patron of the railroad were at least M. 000,000 the gainers, and it is likely that the average sav ing is even greater than that In com parison with the freight schedules -fcat were in effect some years ago. "I mention this merely as one il lustration of what improved railway nervlce haa meant, to the patron of the railroads. X could also tali about the added safety which has been ac corded freight as well as passengers. The railroads of this country, as re cently announced, went through the first six month of ttala year without a single fatality to a passenger In a train accident. The Illinois Central system has done even better than that it has gone through seven whole years without such an accident and is now well Into its eighth year. Between 1024 and 1934 freight claim payments for loss and damage per revenue car declined from 05 cents to 53 cents. In 1934 such payments amounted tq only 60 cents out of each 9100 of freight revenue, or 5 cent on each 9100 of value of freight handled. "Accomplishments such as those are the combined result of havipg both an experienced personnel and a railway plant in a satisfactory state of maintenance. "By the end of this year and, since the beginning of 1034. we will have completed overhauling and recondi tioning 1.400 locomotives, more than 800 passenger care and more than 17,000 freight cars, lang 166 track mile or new rails, replacing 2.675,000 cross-ties and 1,660 sets of switch t1es, applying more than 750,000 cu bic yards of ballast, rebuilding 38 bridges and building 57 . Industrial sidings and 11 company siding.". Ex-Senator Improving PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 29. (AP) Former State Senator L. L.

Candidate WASHINGTON, NOV. 20. (AP) The praise that Representative Fish R.. N. T.) accorded Senator Borah of Idaho aroused speculation today as to what is in the political winds. The two men, both mentioned as possible candidates for the Republi can presidential nomination, inter rupted their Thanksgiving holiday yesterday to talk politics. Afterwards Fish praised Borah as a man who could draw more votes In New Eng land, New York and Pennsylvania than any other prospect. Borah Silent. Borah himself declined to com ment, telling reporters: "I haven't anything to ay now. I may have in a day or two." The conference led some observers to believe the two men were bent on preventing the nomination of an old guard Republican at next year's national convention. In his statement, Fish urged can didates to enter ' the forthcoming presidential primaries to prevent a "handful of oW guard politicians" from manipulating the selection ol a nominee "in a backroom." He was asked if that was what he and Borah were thinking about. "It might work, out that way." he replied. 1 The New Yorker went on to de-. scribe Borah as a "very able man who has great popular support In both the" west and east." He said Borah "comes nearer rep resenting the policies of Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln than any other man in the country." Fish Not Oeclded. As for himself, Fish said he had "not decided" whether to be a can didate. He ha been busy since the adjournment of congress speaking on liberalism versus the "old order." Other support for Borah came yesterday from Senator Frazler (R., N. D.) who said: "I am quite anxious to see Senator Borah nominated. He is very popu lar out in our country. I think he would have no trouble carrying the whole west and northwest." L PLAY SANTA A meeting of the Veteran's Allied Council of Jackson county was held at Medford Armory Wednesday eVCn lna.
