At the same time it was stated by the same authority that the cars held over time by shippers during the week amounted to 639 days for one car. In other words in round numbers 100 care "'re used the entire week for warehouses. They were not unloaded because the shippers preferred to pay the demurrage rather than go to the trouble and expense of unloading them.- It was stated further that the worst offenders in this line were the big shippers, the very ones who com plain loudest over the car shortage. This is the same! spirit as is shown by those who refuse to heed any request for saving or substituting foods in order to keep the armies of the allies, who are doing our fighting as much as their own, in provisions. It is the spirit that holds a person can eat what he pleases and waste as much as he pleases so long as he has the money to pay for it. , It has been thoroughly demonstrated that peaceful methods will no more control the car hog, than the food variety. This being the case it appears there is but one remedy and that is to provide the means by which the porkers can be forced to net decently. If no other means can be found it would well repay the cost to call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of doing away with the demurrage system and making it a criminal of fense to hold a car over a reasonable, fixed time. The showing of the Public Service Commission is that 91 cars are held idle all the time by careless, or criminally heed less shippers. This put in a different way means that 332 cars are kept idle in this state yearly for 100 days. Ten prejty fair sized trains kept out of use for one third of the year. It would be money well investedthe paying of legislative expenses if this criminal holding of cars could be prevented. It might be the plan would stir some of the eastern states, especially New York, to take some action, for there is where cars are used most extensively as warenouses. inose in cnarge ot transportation are making no attempt to correct this evil, and apparently will not do so. It is up to the state of Oregon to do a little vof her "flying with her own wings" and doing it by forbidding greedy shippers the privilege of clipping those same wings. A legislative session sufficient to pass laws coverng the matter should not cost to exceed $5,000 or at the most $10,00. At the latter figure it would mean the providing oi me snippers oi uregon me use ot 90 cars for a year at a cost of 30 cents a day for each.

Congressional investigations are generally worth a great deal less than the newspaper space devoted to them indicates. - This fine warm Oregon rain is becoming almost too much of a good thing. lppnng by Walt Mason ymes IT IS UP TO MR. HOOVER Claus Spreckles, the sugar king of the coast, says there is not a world shortage of sugar, but an unusually large crop. Before the committee investigating the sub ject he stated the refineries of the coast generally were closed, having nothing to refine. In replying to the ques tion as to the cause of this condition he asserted the blame lay with Food Administrator Hoover, who, he said, got the refiners to agree not to import sugar and also as to price fixing only after fifteen meetings. He then makes the grave charge that George M. Rolph, the San Francisco sugar refiner, who is one of the three American members of the international sugar committee named by Hoover, had contracted for the entire output of Hawaii plantations. He added : "His price of 25 cents a hundred Jess than any price for imported sugar gave Rolph an advantage of $1,500,000 a year over us, his rivals." These charges might be grave if anyone but Spreckles made them. This enterprising gentleman, following the footsteps of his father, Old Claus Spreckles, has become a multi-millionaire from the profits extorted from the sugar-eating public. The name of Spreckles has stood for sugar monopoly for several decades, and more than December always makes me sad. fnr then the climate's mostly bad. and if a-motorinp- ACTi one es, he'll freeze his whiskers and his nose, uncertain is December's mood; her conduct hints that she is stewed.

Anxious to keep him with me a little longer I commenced to tell him the story Mrs, Baldwin had told me; Slenor Farnesworth 's storv. He was interested at once. I have heard of Farnesworth. He was pretty wild I guess. He was married last week. There was quite an account ot it in the Chicago papers." "Won't Mrs. Baldwin be surprised. She said he had not married the wom an." "I don't imagine he has. This was some Chicago girl; quite young I be lieve. ' ' "I don't see what men see in very young girls!" I exclaimed. "They are seldom good housekeepers; and are im mature in every way. What comfort can a man older than they get from their companionship?" "Sometimes they are very bright and entertaining, Margaret. And a busy man likes to be amused." "That's prettv poor reason for getting married to be amused."
