Last Rail Spike
CIFTT-OXE years ago this morning one train steamed iouth
through Oregon and another steamed up through northern
California, to meet at Ashland for the driving of the last spike
in the Oregon & California railroad, now the Southern Pacific.
The Oregon special, carrying half the leading citizens of
Portland, Salem and way points, reached Ashland at 10 A. M.,
but the California train was delayed. It started from San
Francisco and was held up for celebrations at Sacramento,
Marysville and smaller places. Everywhere along the route there
were bonfires and orating citizens. Then a work train got off
the track and that made more trouble.
At Ashland the Oregon folk waited impatiently. Almost the
whole Bogue river valley was there, besides the visiting notables.
The notables had their speeches ready and were eager to mount
the platform, built high above the meeting place.
It was not until 4:25 of this short December day that the
headlight of a pilot engine was seen approaching from the
southward. By that time the crowd was half frozen, so that
firewood had to be gathered for a bonfire. By the time the
two sections of the California special had drawn up at the
junction and the California people had gathered, darkness had
fallen. It became pitch, dark except for the bonfire off to
the rear of the crowd, and two
speakers mounted the platform as their turns came, and then
climbed onto a table held by several men to prevent its toppling
over. One lantern was held up over the speaker so he could
read his manuscript. The other

When the ceremonies were
dent of them, someone took advantage of the last glimmer of
light to drive the last spike and that made history. .California
and Oregon had been settled, and admitted to the union as
states, at a time when there were no other states all the way to
the Mississippi valley. And yet in spite of their isolation from
the rest of the union, they also were isolated from one another.
They had the sea route of communication, and they developed a
rude road that could be followed by stages. But until the com
pletion of the railroad on December 17, 1887, trade up and
down the Pacific const remained
. The building of the road started at Portland in the spring
of 1868. In fact, two roads were started, one on the east side,
one on the west. Hen llollnilay took over the east side project,
and defeated his rivals. Then
stopped until Henry Villard cume along in the early eighties.
Then Villard also failed, and it was not until the later eighties
that the connection with California was finally completed.

MILES, Texas. Dec. 17. (AP) A
murder charge waa filed tonight
against Frank Salazar, 24-year-old
Mexican laborer, in the slaying of Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Kennedy, middle-aged
farm couple.
Sheriff E. E. Lowe said the slayer
shot the Kennedys as they slept,
critically wounded two of their dau
ghters with an axe and apparently
kidnaped another daughter, Wilms.
16.
The officers said the parent had
objected to Salazar's friendship with
Wilms.
Officers in the southwest concen
trated their efforts on finding the
Mexican, and Sheriff Lowe said flat
ly "I don't believe we'll find the girl
alive."
Salazar worked for Kennedy until
about two months ago, but had said
often "111 get that girl." the sheriff
reported. -
The two youngest Kennedy chll-'
dren. Fay, 4. snd Imogene, 13, were in
a San Angelo hospital, their condi
tions grave. They had lain In agony
from the time of the killing Thurs
day night until they were found to
day by an uncle.
Salarar was charged specifically
with killing the fatner.
The Kennedy automobile was miss
ing from the garage. Two slippers,
believed to belong to Wllma. were
found between the house and the
garage.
Lowe said he believed Salazar would
seek refuge In south Texas, where
many Mexicans reside. "However,
we're asking all Texas officers and
authorities of other states to be on
the lookout." he said.
The Mexican bought cartridges for
a .410 Range shotgun, the ame type
gun which was used In the slaying.

PORTLAND. Ore., Dec. 17. -(AP)
A committee's draft of a propev-pd

ing and distribution. Other changes
will be made later.
Summarized, the law would:
1 Permit public utility district to
issue revenue bonds for financing
acquisition of power distribution sys
tems. Bonds would be repaid solely
from earnings of the system and
would not constitute a general obli
gation of the district or a Hen on

vision would permit a district, by
vo, to issue general obligation
bonds to acquire a system.
3 Require appointment of an x

trative officer, responsible to the
board of directors but not to any one
director.
S Permit formation ot -county
wide districts by a vote of the people
after circulation of a single petition,
and without a hearing before the

4 Permit the district to donate to

10 NAME LIBERAL
FOR PRESIDENCY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. (AP)
John L. Lewis, as chairman of labor's
non-partisan league, stepped into
the 1940 presidential campaign today
with a bid for a voice In the selec
tion of candidates and policies by
the next Democratic national con
vention. Surrounded by his chief aides in
both the league and the CIO, Lewis
unfolded to newspapermen a pro
gram of political action which has
lor Its goal the election of league
endorsed candidates to the 1940
Democratic national convention.
Tho CIO leader Indicated he was
not Interested In the third party
Idea at this time, and shied away
from questions as to his views of a
third term for President Roosevelt.
But he announced that the league
would have a convention in -1939,
adopt a platform for tho 1940 cam
paign and aim at the nomination
of "progressive" candidates by the
Democratic party.
In a statement widely regarded as
the beginning of a battle with
Democratic conservatives for control
of the 1940 convention, Lewis said:
"It Is essential that all the liberal
and progressive forces or the country
unite to maintain and extend the
economic and political gains of re
cent years foi the preservation of
democracy."
Close associates of Lewis inter
preted his prcsram of political ac
tion as an effort to line up as
large a bloc of Democratic conven
tion delegates as possible, and thus
be able to swing a decisive vote
against conservative elements of the
party.

effort to abut China's open door, and
