Canadians Opening
New Railroading Era
"Please Go Easy," as the Paci
fic Great Eastern railroad in
British Columbia was known for
three decades, is throbbing with
new traffic and construction and
is now pushing its rails into rich
new territory of northeastern
British Columbia.
In day when railroad build
ing is considered a thing of the
past, the brash, aggressive Pa
cific Great Eastern is opening
a new frontier and sometime
next spring, it's sleek diesel lo
comotives will clatter into Fort
St. John, near the southern end
of the Alcan highway.
The railroad is owned by the
government of British Columbia
and with the importance of west
ern Canada's rich natural re
sources now recognized, it has
become a prosperous public car
rier. The P.G.E. started years ago
in the middle of nowhere with
the intent of putting a line be
tween Vancouver and Prince
George. The private promoters
failed and the government of
the province took over, extend
ing the line south to Squamish,
some 40 miles north of Vancou
ver, and as far north as Quesnel.
For years, freight and passeng
ers were ferried between Van
couver and Squamish.
Then came the boom in west
ern Canada. The provincial gov
ernment appropriated funds to
bring the line the final 40 miles
into Vancouver and to push on
to Prince George. Outmoded
equipment was replaced with
diesels and new passenger and
freight cars.
Two years ago, oil and gas
were struck in the Dawson
Creek area and the P.G.E., pros
perous for the first time, under
took to build to the booming
new frontier. Last winter, track
gangs worked in temperatures
that ranged as far as 40 below
zero, but they spiked the steel
rails down in the finest traditions
of the pioneer railroad builders
of the American west.
It is a great drama of rail
road building that is going on
in western Canada and someday
the line into Fort St. John may
be a link in a railroad to Alaska.
In a day when many believe
there are no new frontiers, en
terprising Canadians have open
ed a new one in northeastern
British Columbia. Ashland Tidings.

$8 Million Building
Planned at Portland
Portland fW Plans for a
modernistic S8 million building
which would include a 320-room
hotel were disclosed here Mon
day. The building would be located
at the west end of the new Mor
rison street bridge. Jack Bain,
chairman of the Multnomah
county board of commissioners,
said it is hoped to have the
structure completed in time for
the 1959 Oregon centennial cele
bration. The plans call for parking fa
cilities for 2600 cars.
The building would be a motor
hotel on top of the large park
ing garage and motorists would
drive through the building to
get on the bridge. A helicopter
landing field on the roof also is
planned.
The project is being sponsored
by Sanford Langoe and George
Crow, Portland businessmen.

Wall Streel Wails
Standard Oil Terms
On Stock Offering
By ELMER C. WALZER
United Press Financial Editor
New York UP Wall Street
is awaiting announcement of the
terms of the Standard Oil com
pany (New
Jersey) stock
offering which
is expected at
the latest Nov.
1.
The compa
ny plans to
raise S250 mil
lion to $300
million for ex-
Eimer Waizer pansion and
exploration for more oil, consid
ered by Wall Street as a quarter
billion dollar vote of confidence
in the future of the nation.
It has set at 6,565,000 shares,
the limit of the offering. It will
be made to permit stockholders
to purchase additional stock at
the rate of one additional share
for each 30 held as of Nov. 8.
The offer will expire Dec. 18.
The figures lacking in the of
fering now are the exact number
of shares to be offered, and the
price at which the offering will
be made.
The. company through the un
derwriting syndicate headed by
Morgan Stanley & Co. has pre
pared a preliminary prospectus
and submitted it to the securi
ties and exchange commission.
Must Be Effective
No stock can be offered in any
state until the registration state
ment becomes effective. If the
SEC so ordered, the company
would have to amend or change
its prospectus before the offer
ing could be made.
The final prospectus pam
phlet, it is expected, will be in
big demand in the financial dis
trict because it gives detailed
information on the giant com
pany. , The prospectus will show the
vast ramifications of this near
eight billion dollar oil company
biggest in the world.
Presently Standard Oil (N. J.)
has 196,939,278 shares of capital
stock outstanding. If the full to
tal of 6,565,000 shares is floated
it will bring the total to 203,
504,278 shares. That is beaten
by only one United States com
pany General Motors, which
has 277,690,000 shares outstanding.

Tuesday, October 22, 1957
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
By SENATOR NEUBERGER
Portland, Oct. (Special It
was heartening to hear the great
preponderance of testimony be
fore our Senate subcommittee
from Indian and white alike
given in favor of our proposal
providing for Federal acquisition
of the timber and marsh of the
Klamath reservation in south
eastern Oregon.
This has become urgently nec
essary because of the hasty and
reckless liquidation of these re
sources which is called for by
the termination bill put through
Congress by Senator Cordon and
Congressman Coon in 1954.
Spokesmen both for the Indians
and for the Klamath Falls Cham
ber of Commerce testified before
the subcommittee that the bill
was changed fundamentally at
the 11th hour, to require a far
speedier disposal of Indian as
sets than ever had been origin
ally intended.
Unless we can bring about
Federal purchase of the reserva
tion, this liquidation still will
occur, and with three disastrous

Adenauer Elected
To Third Term
As Chancellor
Bonn, Germany (IP) Kon
rad Adenauer was elected today
to a third term as Chancellor
of West Germany on his policy
of rearmament, European Feder
ation and close cooperation with
the United States.
The 81-year-old Adenauer was
returned to power for another
four years by a vote of 274 to
192 in the lower house (Bundes
tag) of Parliament.
Nine deputies abstained from
the voting. Twenty-two others
were absent.
Adenauer's Christian Demo
cratic party won a record-breaking
50.2 per cent of the popular
vote in the Sept. 15 general el
ections, giving him an absolute
majority and ensuring him of
his victory today.
Single Vote in 1948
In 1948, Adenauer was elect
ed Chancellor by a single vote
majority. In 1953, he was re
elected by a vote of 304 against
148.
On the eve of the vote, Aden
auer was reported working out
final plans for a new two-party
coalition government pledged to
speed up German rearmament
and retain the close ties with
the free West. The Christian
Democrat coalition partner will
be its strongest ally, the Ger
man Party. The two control 287
votes in the 497-seat lower
house.
Adenauer will announce the
cabinet which will run West
Germany for the next four years
some time Wednesday. The
broad lines of its policy will be
made pubic at a full-dress state
ment before the Bundestag Friday.

Dairy Farmer Quits
As Video Quiz King
New York (IP) Dairy farm
er Harold Craig "abdicated" his
television quiz show throne last
night in favor of a sure $106,000
and perhaps some "grassroots
politics."
Craig, of Granville, N. Y.,
thus broke a five-week deadlock
with New York psychologist Da
vid Mayer, who becomes the
new champion of NBC's "Twenty-one"
quiz program.
The 26-year-old farmer start
led the audience and emcee Jack
Barry by choosing an eight-point
question in the second round
after Mayer already had answer
ed correctly an 11-point query.
This indicated he was relinquish
ing his title as current TV qu?z
king. Craig answered his ques
tion correctly, giving him 18
points to Mayer's 21.
Craig, who had won $119,500
in 17 appearances on the show,
thus took home $106,000 after
Mayer's winnings of $13,500
were deducted. They had been
playing the game at $4,500 a
point.
Craig said he was sorry he
lost, but added he was "reliev
ed." He said "a lot. of people
have asked me to run for Con
gress in my district."
results: U) The dumping of 4
billion feet of pine timber on
the market in a great suffocat
ing rush, (2) the lowering of
timber prices for Indian and
white, and (3) the possible
draining of the marsh where
hundreds of thousands of ducks
and geese gain sanctuary as they
migrate along the Pacific Fly
way. Federal Purchase
Federal purchase will cost be
tween $110 and S150 million.
This sum will not be easy to
sell to members of Congress
from 47 other states. In my bill
postponing the liquidation for
only a few months, I succeeded
in passing through the Senate
a clause reimbursing tribal
funds for $1.1 million spent on
termination proceedings. The
House slashed even this to
$550,000.
One of my staunchest allies
for Federal purchase is Thomas
B. Watters of Klamath Falls,
chairman of the Management
Specialists who were appointed
by ex-Secretary McKay to han
dle tribal matters. Watters is a
lifelong Republican, and he and
I are not political associates. But
he is an open-minded man, with
the courage and candor to ad
just himself to new conditions.
It is a pleasure to work with
somebody who places truth first
and political considerations last.
Our favorite person this fall
is a , little 4-year-old Klamath
Indian girl named Elizabeth
Marie Lang. Her grandfather is
Delford Lang, chairman of the
Klamath Tribal Council, so
Elizabeth Marie sat through
eight hours of important but
dull testimony before our Sen
ate Indians Affairs subcommit
tee in the Multnomah County
Courthouse. Not once during this
ordeal did she whimper, cry,
protest or stir. Indeed, she put
to shame her adult contempo
raries for patience and good
conduct. .
That is why I insisted that the
hearing record formally contain
the name of Elizabeth Marie
Lang with a star there, too, if
the Government Printing Office
so provides. As subcommittee
Chairman, I decided that this
Indian tot deserved an "E" for
effort and also an "A" on her
report card!
Language Needed,
Student Emphasizes
American: schools need . to
place more emphasis on teach
ing foreign languages, according
to David Frohnmyer, recently
returned American foreign ex
change student at Monday's
chamber of commerce round ta
ble. David said he found most
youths his age could speak
French and English as well as
German during his two-month
stay in Germany. He cited the
language problem as the reason
Americans can only spend two
summer months in foreign coun
tries while foreign students can
spend a full year in America.
The foreign students can speak
very good English in addition to
their own language while Amer
icans, oh the average, can speak
only English, he added.
He compared the town of
Mohn, Germany, where he stay
ed, with Medford. Weather, in
dustry, traffic, people, tourist
conditions and other compari
sons were made by the Medford
High school senior. He was one
of 750 students who went to for
eign countries on the American
Field service program during
1957.

The two Poles, both in their
