Old 8444 Returns Again
Treasure Valley echoed to the sounds of the old steam engine
last Saturday as many turned out at every depot and crossing
from Boise to Weiser to hear the steam whistle and see the
smoke billowing from old No. 8444.
Nostalgia brought many out, while some of the kids saw a
steam locomotive for the first time. The fact that over 600
persons from all over the country made the trip shows the
interest in a bygone mode of travel.
Perhaps train travel will return some day, especially on
the inter-urban and short inter-city runs, like between Portland
and Seattle or New York City and Boston. Just last week the
new San Francisco Bay inter-urban (BART) finally got part
of its system in operation.
The advent of the freeway system has almost defeated what
it set out to correct in metropolitan areas. Easier access to
the city by freeway made areas like Gresham, Tigard and
Beaverton outside Portland attractive to many people. So much
so, that now the freeways are choked with people trying to
get to and from work and parking places are scarce and high
priced when they get there.
The answer is some form of mass transportation to the city
center, and the question is whether people will use it. The BART
system will partly answer that question.
Fortunately we in eastern Oregon aren’t faced with that
problem, but Boise is starting to see the effects of people mi
grating to the country. The Meridian area is filling up, and
they not only will have the same transportation and parking
problems that the bigger cities face, but they will also have
water and sewage problems. It’s too bad that these problems
aren't faced first, instead of waiting until they are a real
problem, and by that time it’s almost too late.
We seem to be in a nostalgic age, when all of a sudden the
old things are of real interest. This is great as long as private
individuals want to undertake the reponsibility of restoring or
preserving those things that are of interest to them. It sure
isn’t the government’s responsibility.
A few weeks ago, Boise people were crying because the
old Delamar House was torn down. True, it was a historic
old building, but unless its owners could make use of it, there
was no commercial value. It certainly was not the responsi
bility of some public agency.
We looked at the old cars at McCall over the Labor Day
weekend. It is hard to imagine that some of them were actrally
used for transportation in a quieter and slower day. And yet
when we drove our Model A Ford not that many years ago, we
went just as many places, and almost as fast, as we do now
in our big gas eating cars of today.
We hope old Number 8444 will return again some day, and
if it does, we will be on the station platform along with the rest
of the old-timers, and those not so old-time. It’s kind of nice
to hear the sounds, and smell the smells of an era that is long
gone.

Now you may think the type
setter got type-happy txit let
me tell you what this word
means. It means to promote
unity of all Christians or to work
toward the end that all churches
become as one. There are two
schools of thought as to how
this can be done. Some would
say, "Plan a meeting of the
leaders of all the churches, have
them gather around a common
table, settle their differences
and then organize a super
church to which all Christians
would belong. "This has been
done, you know, but it has al
ways met with failure for each
time twoor more denominations

agree have formed other new
denominations and we have
ended up with more denomina
