The Eastern Oregon State Hospital was established in 1910, and opened for reception of pa Uentt in January, 1913. Why No Passenger Trains? Several weeks ago the Mail Tribune asked the local office of the Southern Pacific to report on the amount of freight tonnage carried during the year 1942 over its Medford branch, from Eugene, Oregon, to Dunsmuir, California, and vice versa. The local representatives as usual were courteous and accommodating. They said it might take two or three days but they would see we got the information as soon at it could be compiled. Two or three days later, however, the District S. P. agent called with the information that the S. P. head quarters in San Francisco refused to release any in formation regarding their railroad for publication in the Mail Tribune. In other words the Southern Pacific, a public util ity and a public carrier, refused to give out any infor mation regarding their operations to the public at least as far as the public of Southern Oregon is con cerned and is represented by the readers of this paper. 117ELL to one who has had dealings with the South- ' ern Pacific in this section of. Oregon for a great many years, this announcement was not so surprising. That is what the management of this great cor poration, the largest railroad as far as track mileage is concerned in the world, really BELIEVES. Yes, the S. P. considers itself a private concern, interested only in private PROFIT, and that while it enjoys all the advantages of a vital public utility and a monop olistic one, it owes nothing in the way of public serv ice to the people, and the details of its operation are its own business not theirs So what else would one expect? IN ariother direction this discourtesy was character laf in UVv 4f lira a vamr atlini1 1 uiiv. A ui at, ft au twj B,uiiut The bie boys down on Market Street in San Fran cisco who issued this ultimatum, must have known that Oregon has a Public Utility Commission, and one of the functions of this body is to secure and transmit vital statistics concerning the public utilities operating in this state. ' And that if the Mail Tribune could not secure the information desired DIRECT, it cold secure it through this commission, the only net result of their arbitrary action therefore being to cause the Mail Tribune some inconvenience, annoy ance and delay. , We say the S. P. management must have known this. And yet they took this petty, small-bore action which in the final show-down, and from any stand point of public responsibility or enlightened self in terest was bound to hurt them more than it would anyone else. . ' WHY? An crura 4V, of afirl trim oar. onoitrai m-nii 4ri naif a afiVeaeJ Tv VI VJ IHV Ml. Vaa JVM VUil (UtOnbl T aVXaV IkUU century the Southern Pacific has done everything it could to destroy good will in this community, take everything out, bring nothing in. As far as we are informed .moreover, it is the ONE AND ONLY pub lic utility m the country, that not only believes in the discredited slogan of "The public be damned" but day after day and year after year at least as far as southern Oregon is concerned gets away with it! a a a a a HOWEVER, all that is the old, old story of the sor A A on A fan if innnt'ir Q T The new feature, and the one we wish to com ment upon in the space remaining, is the underlying reason for the Southern Pacific refusing the Mail Tribune this information," even though it MUST have known it could not, in the long run, prevent the paper securing it ' The reason is plain. The Southern Pacific has refused to rive Southern Oregon even one through passenger train over the Eugene-Dunsmuir route because it has maintained 6uch service required extra equipment, due to the grades and curves greater than those of the alternate route, via Klamath Falls. So Klamath Falls has had four passenger trains each day, Medford none, altho the passenger traffic produced by the Klamath area is not one-half of one per cent as great as the passen ger traffic produced in the Eugene-Medford area. This is old stuff too. The new angle is this. While the S. P. can't run one passenger train over this cir cuitous and expensive route, it Can "and does, over the same route maintain a regular FREIGHT service that nauia approximately a million tons 2,000,000,000 pounds a year of freight and this total was during the year 1942 during nearly half of which there was practically no Camp White tonnage developed. Imagine the size of that traffic! Well, that was the iniormation we wanted and got! Plenty of railroad equipment for this service. No stages needed over the Siskiyous or the Umpqua grades to reduce transportation costs. But not one passenger train requirine less than one-tenth of one per cent of the freight .helper engines and equipment, hundreds of trains every month when it is freight WHY? Well in a word just one rlason : PROFITS ! ' The S. P. can't get the freight profit WITHOUT supplying this regular service. It can not only get the passenger profit, but increase that profit, by sup plying no THROUGH passenger service at all. Twist it around as you wish, there is the one and only reason why Oregon has no throutrh passentrer ! it . r , . n ... . - service over uie meaiora route 10 san ranclsco and four passenger trains each way each day over the ruamatn route to the same destination. Your Health and Its Care BY Dr. WILLIAM BRADY. M. D. Readers should address Inquiries tot Dr. William Brady. 265 El Canine, Beverly Hills. Calif. Yonks Advance Against Japs on Mokin Beoch ENERGY, EZERCI SE-AND.TATIGUE ( h Glycogen (animal starch) and blood sugar (glucose, dextrose) Is the substance into which food i converted for use as fuel in the body, fuel which is burned or ox idised to pro dues energy, The same fuel a u b s t ance is used by the brain cells or nerve cells and by heart, artery and Or. Bradr voluntary mus cle cells. There is Just one kind of energy physiologically recog nized or demonstrable not two kinds, as too many laymen and I fear, some doctors imagine. Of course energy may be called nervous energy or muscular en ergy, if you prefer, but it is aU the same thing. How much en ergy a "brain worker" needs may be gauged from, the recent scientific observation that the brain tissue of a sleeping or un conscious person uses one-tenth as much oxygen as the entire body does end surely the body of a sleeping person requires little energy only enough to keep the heart beating, breath ing muscles functioning. Then there is the observation of the physiologist who measured the metabolism of students taking a fairly hard final examination In college and found that a pet nut would supply the energy ex pended In two or three hours o' Intense mental work. One product or by-product of the oxidation of blood sugar Is a form of lactic acid. This accu mulates in the muscles, as weU as in the brain or nerve tissues, with prolonged activity. Ac cumulation of lactic acid in and about muscles and in the nervous system (in comparatively small amount) probably accounts at least in part, for fatigue and for brain fag or nervous exhaustion, so-called. This concept is parallel with the characteristic manifes tations of anoxia (oxygen deficit or shortage, asphyxia) when this occure in serious illnesses such as pneumonls, septicemia, etc. The first stage of anoxia is Just fatigue. The second stage Is ax haustioB. The third stage is cya noils skin, nails, lips begin to turn ghastly, dusky, gray, blue. Oxyaen is more effective if ad ministered in the earlier stages or anoxia. That's all, ladles and gentle men. Don't take my word for it If you have that tired feeling, brain fag, "nervous exhaustion,' the Jitters, Just no ambition or an increasing craving for a pick- me-up or a "stimulant"' of some Llnd, try this prescription guaranteed to do no barm: -First, have a proper medical or health examination (not a mere life insurance or similar test); it the physician finds no serious trouble, then arrange your daily life to Include not less than one hour day of honest work, ac- tice play or general exercise.

I When the raiders come, the Germans seek shelter. The raids seldom last more than an hour or two. Buildings are destroyed, say 10,000 persons killed, but,- in a city of several million spread over 25 square miles or more, the effect is not destructive of city life, Indeed, sometimes is hardly known to most residents. The bulk of the people merely come up for air and go to bed. If we have good luck in pre cision bombing of a war plant, we may get 80 per cent destruc tion. With bad luck, we will destroy only 20 per cent. The average Is somewhere between In a month, the plant we claim as destroyed again may be functioning. That is why we let up now and then, allowing the Germans to start restoration before we go in again. Then, too, some men like William Shirer, an excellent authority on Germany, placed too much confidence in the be lief that inasmuch as Germans have been promised immunity from bombing, they would wilt or overthrow their leaders when they got a taste of itl In truth, the bombings have made the Germans more resolutely angry, as was the effect of bombings in London and earlier in Spain, a a a MOW do not misunderstand ' me.

This long promised three-way air attack finally may cause the German economic system to col lapse and it may fall before although the Nazis have long practiced necessarily a new de fensive art of getting along with little, putting nothing and noth ing together to get something they needed. It is apparent the emphasis here is shifting to the necessi ties of invasion. The AAF has fitted out a type of bomber as a sort of flying battleship all guns and no bombs but tons of ammunition, Flying magazine reports.
